surfaces.  
•
•
Even after the appliance is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot for an extended period of time.  
Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children  
from hot surfaces. These screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.  
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.  
It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the  
appliance and venting system are kept clean. The appliance and its venting system should be inspected  
before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required  
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The appliance area must be kept clear and  
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.  
Under no circumstances should this appliance be modified.  
•
•
•
•
This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning  
appliance.

As long as the required clearance to combustibles is  
maintained, the most desirable and beneficial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby  
allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the  
room where the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location  
where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.  
4.1  
When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood  
flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.  
The appliance, when installed with a blower, must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with  
local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or  
the ANSI/NFPA 70-1996 National Electrical Code in the United States. The blower power cord must be con-  
nected into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong must not be removed from the cord plug.

3.0 VENTING - MODEL GDS60  
!
WARNING  
RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.  
IF VENTING IS INCLUDED WITH SPACERS THE VENT SYSTEM MUST BE SUPPORTED EVERY 3 FEET  
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. USE SUPPORTS OR EQUIVALENT  
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE FROM  
COMBUSTIBLES. USE WOLF STEEL LTD. SUPPORT RING ASSEMBLY W010-0370 OR EQUIVALENT  
NON-COMBUSTIBLE STRAPPING TO MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES  
FOR BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL RUNS. SPACERS ARE ATTACHED TO THE INNER PIPE AT  
PREDETERMINED INTERVALS TO MAINTAIN AN EVEN AIR GAP TO THE OUTER PIPE. THIS GAP IS  
REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. A SPACER IS REQUIRED AT THE START, MIDDLE AND END OF  
EACH ELBOW TO ENSURE THIS GAP IS MAINTAINED. THESE SPACERS MUST NOT BE REMOVED.  
THIS APPLIANCE USES A 4” EXHAUST / 7” AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE SYSTEM.  
Refer to the section applicable to your installation.  
For safe and proper operation of the appliance follow the venting instruction exactly. Deviation from the  
minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning. Under extreme vent  
configurations, allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition. Vent lengths that pass  
through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated with the insulation wrapped in  
a protective sleeve to minimize condensation. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to  
the appliance after the appliance is installed. Use a firestop, vent pipe shield or attic insulation shield when  
penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.  
NOTE: If for any reason the vent air intake system is disassembled; reinstall per the instructions  
provided for the initial installation.  
7.1  
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two sin-  
gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.  
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight.  
A 1-1/4" air gap all around between the inner liner and outer appliance pipe is required for safe opera-  
tion. Use a firestop when penetrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.  
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or American Metal Amerivent venting compo-  
nents. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal loca-  
tions for either systems are set out in this manual and must be adhered to.

3.1 VENTING LENGTHS AND COMPONENTS  
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent or Metal-Fab venting  
components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths, for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air terminal  
locations for either system are set out in this manual and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk  
Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the installation procedure provided with the venting  
components.  
A starter adaptor must be used with the following vent systems and may be purchased from the corresponding  
supplier:

* For Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp, American Metal Amerivent and Metal-Fab follow the  
installation procedure found on the website for your venting supplier.  
For vent systems that provide seals on the inner exhaust flue, only the outer air intake joints must be sealed using a  
red high temperature silicone (RTV). This same sealant may be used on both the inner exhaust and outer intake vent  
pipe joints of all other approved vent systems except for the exhaust vent pipe connection to the appliance flue collar  
which must be sealed using the black high temperature sealant Mill Pac.  
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only approved Wolf Steel termination kits: wall terminal kit GD175  
(7/12’ of venting included), or 1/12 to 7/12 pitch roof terminal kit GD110, 8/12 to 12/12 roof terminal kit GD111, flat  
roof terminal kit GD112 or periscope kit GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunction with the appropriate  
venting components.  
For optimum flame appearance and appliance operation, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a  
minimum. It is recommended that all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot. The air terminal must  
remain unobstructed at all times. Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify that it is unobstructed  
and undamaged. Rigid and flexible venting systems must not be combined. Different venting manufacturers  
components must not be combined.  
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting of the appliance. The maximum allowable horizontal run  
is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of vent connections is two  
horizontally or three vertically (excluding the appliance and the air terminal connections) when using flexible venting.  
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.  
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.

4.0 INSTALLATION PREPARATION - MODEL GDS60  
4.1 ORIFICE REPLACEMENT  
REAR VENT TERMINATION:  
In rear exit installations with no vertical vent run, the BTU input must  
be reduced to 21,000 BTU by changing the orifice.  
In order to access the orifice, the log support secured by two screws,  
must be removed.  
Care should be taken not to damage the gas pipe. When removing  
the orifice, using a 9/16" socket wrench, a 7/8" back-up wrench must  
be used on the manifold, located below the housing, to ensure that  
the aluminum tubing does not twist or kink.

5.2.2 VERTICAL INSTALLATION  
This application occurs when venting through a roof. Installation kits for  
various roof pitches are available from your authorized dealer / distributor. See  
accessories to order specific kits required.  
FIGURE 5.2.2a  
A. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame a square opening as  
illustrated in the ceiling and the roof to provide the minimum 1“ clearance  
between the vent pipe and any combustible material. Try to center the vent  
pipe location midway between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use  
a plumb bob to line up the center of the openings. A vent pipe shield will  
prevent any materials such as insulation, from filling up the 1” air space  
around the pipe. Nail headers between the joist for extra support.

FIGURE 5.2.2b  
B. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the Wolf  
Steel vent pipe shield plate or equivalent (in the case of a finished ceiling),  
and secure over the opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed on the  
CAULKING  
bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the venting system passes  
through. Apply a bead of caulking all around and place a firestop spacer over  
the vent shield to restrict cold air from being drawn into the room or around the  
fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required clearance to  
combustibles. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply sealant  
between the pipe and the firestop assembly.

and place onto the front of the burner. Care should  
be taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular  
pieces as only the exposed edges of the fibre hairs  
will glow when exposed to direct flame; however care  
should be taken to not block the burner ports. Blocked  
ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon  
deposits and delayed ignition.  
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the  
appliance, the colours will become more uniform as  
colour pigments burn in during the heat activated cur-  
ing process.

edge of the rear appliance panel.  
REMOVED SCREWS  
7.0.5 Mount and secure the blower housing using 4  
screws (two of which were removed in previous  
step). Ensure that the on/off switch wires pass  
through the appropriate slot located on either  
side of the blower housing.  
7.0.6 Remove the 2 screws from the side of the  
blower housing that you want the switch to be located on  
and re-secure the on/off switch.  
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned  
on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30 minutes  
after lighting the appliance and will run for approximately  
30-45 minutes after the appliance has been turned off.  
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.  
Drywall dust will penetrate into blower bearings causing  
irreparable damage and must be prevented from coming  
into contact with the blower or its compartment.

9.0 OPERATION  
!
WARNING  
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT  
CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSON INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.  
ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RAN OUT WITH THE  
GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED.  
TAMPERING WITH THE SPILL SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND  
POSSIBLE DEATH (GS60 ONLY).  
MODEL GS60 ONLY: SPILL SWITCH  
This is a thermally activated switch, attached to the back of the chimney adaptor, which senses the change in  
temperature and shuts down the gas valve in the event of a blocked or disconnected vent. It acts as a safety  
shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion of unburned gases during start up. If the  
flue is blocked or has no "draw", the spill switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within about 5-10  
minutes.  
MODEL GS60 ONLY: VENTING ACTION CHECK  
A CHECK FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE INSTALLED APPLIANCE IS  
LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. Test in the following manner:  
9.0.1 Close all doors and windows in the room / start exhaust fans in the home / turn appliance blower off (if  
equipped).  
9.0.2 Set controls to "high" and light the unit.  
9.0.3 Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the hole located above the spill switch bracket on  
the adaptor.  
9.0.4 Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Venting action is unsatisfactory if the flame extin-  
guishes.  
9.0.5 If venting action is unsatisfactory, turn the unit off, wait 10 minutes and try again. If the match does not  
stay lit, turn the unit off and check for vent blockage or restriction. If necessary, consult with a qualified  
inspector.  
9.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top left corner on models GDS60 and GS60.  
NOTE: The upper firebox baffle of your new cast appliance has intentionally been left unpainted. Its  
shiny appearance will quickly transform to a dull black finish during the curing process.  
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary con-  
dition caused by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not  
occur again. Simply open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room. After extended periods of non-operation  
such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours.  
This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the  
room.

Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn in a  
clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.  
B
A
Check Pressure Readings:  
Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-  
clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over  
the test point. Gauge should read 7” (minimum 4.5”) water column  
for natural gas or 13” (11” minimum) water column for propane.  
Check that main burner is operating on “HI”.  
PILOT SCREW  
FIGURE 10.1  
Outlet pressure can be checked the same as above using screw (B). Gauge should read 3.5” water column for  
natural gas or 10” water column for propane. Check that main burner is operating on “HI”.  
AFTER TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO TURN SCREWS CLOCKWISE FIRMLY TO  
RESEAL. DO NOT OVERTORQUE.  
Leak test with a soap and water solution.

10.2 VENTURI ADJUSTMENT  
This model has an air shutter that has been factory set open according to  
the chart below:  
VENTURI  
BURNER  
Regardless of venturi orientation, closing the air shutter will cause a more  
yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a  
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The  
flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the  
AIR

10.4 RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS - MODEL GDS60  
Vertical installations may display a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be re-  
stricted using the restrictor vent kit, GDSRP-KT. This will reduce the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down  
the flame pattern and creating a more traditional gentle appearance. Specific instructions are included with the kit.

11.0 MAINTENANCE  
!
WARNING  
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.  
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.  
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.  
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper  
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This appliance and its venting system should  
be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. The appliance area must be kept  
clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids. The flow of combus-  
tion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.  
1.  
2.  
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.  
Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by  
vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.  
3.  
4.  
Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not  
burning properly.  
Check to see that the pilot flames are large enough to engulf the thermocouple and the thermopile on one leg  
and reaches toward the burner on the other leg.  
5.  
6.  
Replace the cleaned logs.  
Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned  
on. A 5-10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Napoleon® dealer/dis-  
tributor.  
7.  
Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

13.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING  
!
WARNING  
ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RAN OUT,  
WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN OR REMOVED.  
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.  
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.  
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.  
SYMPTOM  
PROBLEM  
TEST SOLUTION  
Pilot will not light.  
Wiring.  
-
Verify the wire for the sensor and the wire for the  
ignitor are connected to the correct terminals (not  
reversed) on the module. NOTE: Sensor has 3/16”  
connection and ignitor has 1/8” connection.  
Makes noise with  
no spark at pilot  
burner.  
Loose connection.  
Module.  
-
-
Verify no loose connections, electrical shorts in the  
wiring or ground out to any metal object.  
IGNITOR  
(SPARK)  
Turn the ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position.  
Remove the igniter wire from the module. Place  
the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Hold a  
grounded wire about 3/16” away from the ignitor  
(spark) terminal on the module. If no spark the  
ignitor terminal module must be replaced. If there  
is a spark the ignitor terminal is fine. Inspect pilot  
assembly for a shorted wire or cracked insulator  
around the electrode.  
SENSOR  
PILOT TUBE  
Igniter Spark gap is  
incorrect.  
-
-
Spark gap of the ignitor to the pilot should be 1/8”.  
Transformer.  
Verify the transformer is installed and plugged into  
the module. Check voltage of the transformer under  
load at the spade connections on the module with  
the ON/OFF switch in the “ON” position. Acceptable  
readings of a good transformer are between 6.2 and  
7.0 volts A.C.  
Battery backup  
-
-
Check batteries.  
A shorted or loose  
Connection.  
Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs  
into the module. Remove and verify continuity of  
each wire in wiring harness.  
Improper switch wiring.  
Module is not grounded.  
-
-
Troubleshoot the system with the simplest ON/OFF  
switch.  
Verify the value and pilot assemblies are properly  
grounded to the metal chassis of the appliance or  
log set.  
Pilot sparks but  
will not light.  
Gas supply.  
-
-
Verify that the incoming gas line ball valve is  
“Open”. Verify that the inlet pressure reading is  
within acceptable limits, inlet pressures must not  
exceed 14” W.C.  
Out of propane gas.  
Fill the tank.

SYMPTOM  
PROBLEM  
TEST SOLUTION  
Carbon is being  
deposited on  
glass, logs,  
rocks, media  
or combustion  
chamber surfaces.  
Air shutter has become  
blocked.  
-
-
Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other  
obstructions.  
Flame is impinging on the  
glass, logs, rocks, media  
or combustion chamber.  
Check that the glass, logs, rocks or media are  
correctly positioned.  
Open air shutter to increase the primary air.  
Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure  
and orifice size as specified by the rating plate  
values.  
-
-
-
-
-
Check that the door gasketing is not broken or  
missing and that the seal is tight.  
Check that both vent liners are free of holes and  
well sealed at all joints.  
Check that minimum rise per foot has been adhered  
to for any horizontal venting.  
Continues to  
spark and pilot  
lights, but main  
burner will not  
light.  
Short or loose  
connection in sensor rod.  
-
-
Verify all connections. Verify the connections  
from the pilot assembly are tight; also verify these  
connections are not grounding out to any metal.  
Poor flame rectification  
or contaminated  
sensor rod.  
Verify the flame is engulfing the sensor rod. This  
will increase the flame rectification. Verify correct  
pilot orifice is installed and inlet gas specifications  
to manual. (Remember, the flame carries the  
rectification current, not the gas. If the flame lifts  
from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orifice  
or too high of an inlet pressure can cause the pilot  
flame to lift.) The sensor rod may need cleaning.  
Poor grounding between  
pilot assembly and  
gas valve.  
-
-
Verify that the wire harness is firmly connected to  
module Verify that the ceramic insulator around the  
sensor rod is not cracked, damaged, or loose. Verify  
the connection from the sensor rod to the sensor wire.  
Damaged pilot or dirty  
sensor rod.  
Clean sensor rod with an emery cloth to remove  
any contamination that may have accumulated on  
the sensor rod. Verify continuity with multimeter with  
ohms set at the lowest range.  
Pilot lights  
Wiring / Connection.  
Wiring harness.  
-
-
Inspect all wires, ensure good tight connections.  
Verify that all wiring is installed exactly as specified.  
Stops sparking  
/ pilot remains lit  
but burner will  
not turn on.  
Inspect the wiring harness, and verify the harness  
is tightly connected to the module. Verify that all  
wires are connected in the right order. See “WIRING  
DIAGRAM” section.  
Exhaust fumes  
smelled in room,  
headaches.  
Appliance is spilling.  
-
