INSTALLATION
FRAMING
GAS INSTALLATION
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use
2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 7-9.
1. Move the fireplace into position and secure using the
nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the 1/4"ø
holes located at either end of the base.
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 other outside wall of a home. This will ensure theat
clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
2. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L cop-
per tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
3. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch
or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient lo-
cation. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through
the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of the unit.
The recommended maximum lead length depends on wire
size:
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
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.

LOG PLACEMENT
PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers, exclusive to Napo-
leon Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing ef-
fect that is different in every installation. Take the time to
carefully position the glowing embers for a maximum glow-
ing effect. Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the
fireplace, the colours will become more uniform as colour
pigments burn in during the heat activated curing process.

the left outermost grate post and the top into the pocket
provided on the back log. Position the notch located on the
end of the center log (#5) against the middle grate post
with the other end of the log resting in the pocket of the left
crossover log.
1. Place the back log (#1) onto the log support tray and in
front of the tabs. The tabs maintain an air space between
the log and firebox back to facilitate combustion air flow.
Ensure that the back of the log rests against the brackets
on the back wall of the firebox.

CHARCOAL EMBERS
Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and
sides of the log support tray in a realistic manner. Fine
dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
2. Move the two small logs (#2 & #3) into position, lining
up the studs located on the burner with the holes on the
bottom of the logs.
VERMICULITE
Sprinkle vermiculite around the charcoal embers.
Note: Both charcoal embers and vermiculite are not to
be placed on the burner.
GLOWING EMBERS
CHARCOAL LUMPS
3. Tear the glowing embers into pieces and place along
the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of
the small logs (#2 & #3). Care should be taken to shred the
embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed
edges of the fibre hairs will glow. The ember material will
only glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care should
be taken to not block the burner ports. Blocked burner ports
can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and
delayed ignition. PHAZERTM logs glow when exposed to
direct flame.
Place the lumps between the logs in a realistic manner
taking care not to block any of the burner ports.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
After extended periods of non-operation such as following
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 all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before installing the door.

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.
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.
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 Napoleon dealer / dis-
tributor.

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; al-
low 15 to 30 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab-
lished.
