GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERV-
ICED BYAQUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes.
Installation practices vary from region to region and it is
important to know the specifics that apply to your area,
for example: in Massachusetts State:
• The fireplace damper must be removed or welded in the open
position prior to installation of a fireplace insert or gas log.
• The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.
• The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.
• The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or
bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion
product.
• WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber
or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
In absence of local codes, install the GE38 to the current
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or the current CAN/
CGA B149, Installation Codes. Mobile home installation
must conform with local codes. In the absence of local
codes, install to the current standard for gas equipped
mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or
the manufactured home construction and safety standard,
Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for manu-
factured home installations, Sites and Community Stand-
ard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the United States.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-
sitting room installations and is suitable for mobile home
installation. The natural gas model can only be installed in a
mobile home that is permanently positioned on its site and
fueled with natural gas.
No external electricity (110 volts or 24 volts) is re-
quired for the gas system operation.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up
and cooling down cycles are normal and are to be
expected.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The fireplace must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The GE38 is factory equipped with
ceramic glass for both the firebox front and back panels. The
glass thickness is 3/16". Use only replacement glass
available from your Napoleon dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE
MATERIALS. Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of opera-
tion with a recommended gas fireplace glass cleaner. There-
after clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT!
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and /
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring,
the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth.
The junction box must be electrically connected and
grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence
of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELEC-
TRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
or blemishes may result.
Use only accessories designed for and listed with
your specific fireplace.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate
accessibility clearance for servicing and operating
the fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of
the fireplace.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 26,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above
4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high
altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for
each additional 1,000ft.
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace follow
the venting instruction exactly.
Deviation from the minimum vertical vent length can
create difficulty in burner start-up and/or carboning.
Maximum output for natural gas is 22,360 BTU/hr at an
efficiency of 86% with the fan on, and 22,880 BTU/hr for
propane at an efficiency of 88% with the fan on. The maxi-
mum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is
64% for natural gas and 65% for propane.
Provide a means for visually checking the vent con-
nection to the fireplace after the fireplace is installed.
Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (at-
tics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated
with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve
to minimize condensation.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept
a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the
unit.

venting components. Minimum and maximum vent lengths,
for both horizontal and vertical installations, and air termi-
nal locations for either system are set out in this manual
and must be adhered to. For Simpson Dura-Vent, follow
the installation procedure provided with the venting com-
ponents.
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 1¼" air
gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is
required for safe operation. Use a firestop when pen-
etrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
When using Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol-
lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD210, 8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD211, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD212 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD230.
Minimum clearance to combustible con-
struction from fireplace and vent sur-
faces:

RIGID OR FLEXIBLE venting components when vent-
ing as illustrated in Figures 3, and 4.
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace. FIGURES 3a, & 5a. The maximum allow-
able horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable ver-
tical vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 4" vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud-
ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when
using aluminum flexible venting.
Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all around the
vent pipe is required.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace perform-
ance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum.
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.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several minutes
(5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
6" inches is the minimum bend radius allowed for the 7"
diameter flexible liner.

determined depth of the combustible wall. Apply a bead of
caulking (not supplied) to the framework or to the shield
plate (in the case of a finished wall) and secure the shield
through the opening to the interior wall. The final location
of the vent pipe shield should maintain the required clear-
ance to the 7" vent pipe / liner. (See note above). Do not fill
this cavity with any type of material. Apply a bead of caulk-
ing 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 / liner is installed in its final position, apply
sealant between the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for installation.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it
is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure
be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any

ance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materi-
als, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for
will interfere with the opening of the lower access door and
the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Always turn off the pilot and the fuel supply at the
source, prior to moving the mobile home.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.
After moving the mobile home and prior to lighting the
fireplace, ensure that the logs are positioned correctly.
A non-combustible finishing material must be used for a
minimum of 3" above the fireplace
FRAMING
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
sides of the fireplace but must not cover or protrude past
any of the black face-side-areas of the fireplace. Non-com-
bustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may pro-
trude in these areas.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and
the vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local
building codes. FIGURES 31-33.
FIGURE 31
NAILING TABS
To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall,

MANTLE CLEARANCES & ENCLOSURES
Combustible mantle clearance can vary according to the
mantle depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear-
ance needed. Curtains, above the fireplace, must not be
positioned lower than the 3" distance required for the 3"
combustible mantle. These same requirements apply to
any combustibles protruding on either side of the fire-
place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust
particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In both cases,
open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight
odour for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condi-
tion caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-in" of
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing
process and will not occur again.
Purge the gas line with the glass door open. Assure that
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the

to off. Do not force.
MAINTENANCE
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter
opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacu-
uming or brushing, at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out
any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn-
ing properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to-
ward the burner with the third jet.
Turn off the gas and electrical power before servicing
the fireplace.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv-
icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This fireplace and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service per-
son. The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of com-
bustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours
and liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must
not be obstructed.
5. Replace the cleaned logs.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all
openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on. A 5 to
10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes
longer, consult your Continental dealer / distributor.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of
the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly,
remove the logs to expose both assemblies.

ADJUSTMENTS
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning.
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.
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 min-
utes for the final flame colour to be established.
