GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS  
GENERAL INFORMATION  
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN  
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-  
ITY!  
THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SER-  
VICED BY A QUALIFIED 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,  
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water  
column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for  
propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water  
column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for  
propane. Manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5  
inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water  
column for propane. When the fireplace is installed at el-  
evations above 4,500ft, and in the absense of specific rec-  
ommendations 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 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.  
Change in flame appearance from "HI" to "LO" is more  
evident in natural gas than in propane. Expansion / con-  
traction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles  
are normal and to be expected.  
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-B149  
Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas  
Code,ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA54 in the United States. Mobile  
home installation must conform with local codes or in the  
absence of local codes, install to the current standard for  
gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series  
in Canada orANSI Z223.1and NFPA54 in the United States.  
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove  
opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the  
burner before closing the door.  
GDS50: Maximum input is 44,000 BTU/hr  
for natural gas and 40,000 BTU/hr for propane.  
Maximum output for natural gas is 37,000 BTU/  
hr at an efficiency of 84% with the fan on;  
Maximum output for propane is 34,400 BTU/hr  
at an efficiency of 86% with the fan on. Maximum A.F.U.E.  
(annual fuel utilization efficiency) rating is 77% for natural  
gas and 79% for propane. This stove is not approved for  
closet or recessed installations. It is approved for  
bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting room installations and  
is suitable for mobile homes. The natural gas model is  
suitable for installation in a mobile home that is perma-  
nently positioned on its site and fueled with natural gas.  
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-  
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.  
All horizontal runs must have a ¼ inch rise per foot.  
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a  
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.  
The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-  
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres-  
sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/  
2 psig (3.5 kPa). The stove 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).  
GS50: Maximum input is 44,000 BTU/hr for natural gas  
and 40,000 BTU/hr for propane. Maximum output for natural  
gas is 31,200 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 77% with the fan on  
and 71% with the fan off; and 30,000 BTU/hr for propane at  
an efficiency of 78% with the fan on and 73% with the fan  
off. Minimum A.F.U.E. (annual fuel utilization efficiency) rat-  
ing is 65% for natural gas and 67% for propane. This stove  
is approved for bedroom and bed-sitting room installa-  
tions.  
A 1/8 inch NPT plug, accessible for test gauge connection,  
must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply  
connection to the stove.  
The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electri-  
cally 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/NFPA70-1990 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the  
United States. The blower power cord must be connected  
into a properly grounded receptacle. The grounding prong  
must not be removed from the cord plug.  
CARE OF GLASS, AND PLATED PARTS  
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff  
lightly with a clean dry cloth.  
The glass is 3/16" ceramic glass available from your Na-  
poleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MA-  
TERIALS. Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of  
operation with a recommended gas fireplace glass cleaner.  
Thereafter clean as required. DO NOT CLEAN GLASS  
WHEN HOT! If the glass is not kept clean permanent  
discolouration and / or blemishes may result.

within the required distances, the most desirable  
and benefical location for a Napoleon stove is in  
the centre 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 stove is to be located should be con-  
sidered. If possible, you should choose a loca-  
tion where the vent will pass through the house  
without cutting a floor or roof joist.

DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - MODEL GDS50  
For optimum flame appear-  
ance and stove perfor-  
mance, keep the vent  
length and number of el-  
bows to a minimum. On  
extreme vent configura-  
tions, allow several min-  
utes (5-15) for the flame to  
stabilize after lighting. 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.  
VENTING LENGTHS &  
AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS  
Use only Napoleon or Simpson Dura-Vent Model DV-GS  
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.  
When using Napoleon venting components, use only the  
following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175 (7-1/2' 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 STOVE PERISCOPE  
KIT GD180 (for wall penetration below grade) in conjunc-  
tion with the appropriate venting components.  
These vent kits allow for either hori-

FIGURE 4  
HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO EXCEED VERTICAL RISE  
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping  
to the stove for ease of installation.  
IF VERTICAL RISES GREATER THAN 57 INCHES  
ARE NECESSARY, THE INCREASED RISE MUST  
BE DEDUCTED FROM THE HORIZONTAL RUN.  
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through  
unheated spaces be wrapped in a protective sleeve to  
minimize condensation and reverse flow symptoms. See  
Trouble Shooting for details.  
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a  
sidewalk or paved driveway which is located  
betweeen two single family dwellings and serves  
both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may  
require different clearances.  
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on hori-  
zontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled  
tight. a 1-1/4" air gap all around between the inner  
liner and outer stove pipe is required for safe op-  
eration. Use a firestop when penetrating interior  
walls, floor or ceiling.  
All horizontal runs must have a minimum ¼ inch  
rise per foot.

THE STOVE PIPE MUST RISE ¼" PER FOOT OF RUN.  
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe shield to the 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 clearance to the  
7" vent pipe. Do not fill this cavity with any type of material.  
Do not fill this space with any type of material.  
A vent pipe shield will prevent any materials such as insu-  
lation, from filling up the 1" air space around the pipe.

the bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that  
the venting system passes through. FIGURE 14. 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 stove. 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 spacer.

tion, apply sealant between the pipe and the firestop spacer.  
3. In the attic, after the pipe  
has been installed, slide the  
vent pipe collar down to cover up

joint and screw heads using high  
temperature sealant. Repeat using  
a 7" diameter length of rigid piping.  
1. Stretch the 4" diameter alu-  
minum flexible liner to the re-  
quired length taking into account  
the additional length needed for the  
finished wall surface.  
If the attic space is tight, we rec-  
ommend adding sufficient lengths  
of 7" rigid piping, secured and  
sealed as necessary.  
3. Thread the air terminal pipe assembly down through  
the roof support and attach, ensuring that a minimum 16"  
of air terminal will penetrate the roof when fastened. The  
air terminal must be located vertically and plumb.  
Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at predeter-  
mined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7" outer  
stove pipe. These spacers must not be removed.  
Slip a 4" diameter length of aluminum flexible liner a mini-  
mum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Secure

heads using the high temperature sealant provided.  
2. Slip the first section of 7" diameter stove pipe a mini-  
mum of 2" over the outer sleeve of the air terminal. Secure  
to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw  
heads using high temperature sealant.  
4. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the  
sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air termi-  
nal and slide it underneath the sides and upper edge of  
the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly cen-  
tered within the flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around.  
Fasten to the roof. Do NOT nail through the lower portion of  
the flashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with caulking.  
Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flash-  
ing with roofing material.  
5. Apply a heavy bead of waterproof caulking 2 inches  
above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air  
terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that a  
weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar  
is achieved. Attach the other storm collar centered between  
the air intake and air exhaust slots onto the air terminal.  
Tighten securely.  
3. Insert the liners through the firestop / vent pipe shield.  
Holding the air terminal (lettering in an upright, readable  
position), secure to the exterior wall. Make weather tight by  
sealing with caulking (not supplied). The air terminal mount-  
3
4
ing plate may be recessed (up to / " maximum) into the  
exterior wall or siding.  
FIGURE 18  
6. Attach the vertical rain cap.  
7. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up  
the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent  
any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1" air  
space around the pipe.  
4. If more than one length of liner needs to be used to  
reach the stove, couple them together as illustrated in  
FIGURE 18. Seal the joints using the same procedure as  
described above.  
The vent system must be supported approximately every  
10 feet along a horizontal run. Use supports or equivalent  
non-combustible strapping to maintain the 1" clearance  
from combustibles.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION  
INSTALLING 'B' VENT:  
Follow the instructions for "Wall and Ceiling Protection".  
Three types of chimney systems may be used  
with this stove:  
ADAPTER INSTALLATION FIGURE 27  
1. Remove the spill switch bracket from the rear of the  
adapter.  
2. Gently pull the two wire terminals (located inside the 7"  
flue collar at the top of the stove) out approximately 8  
inches.  
3. Bring the wires through the lower hole in the adapter and  
out the spill switch opening. To pass the wires through the  
hole more easily, temporarily tape the two terminals to-  
gether.  
4. With the spill switch opening aligned to the back of the  
stove, take hold of the adaptor base and push the crimped  
edge into the stove flue collar.  
5. Connect the wire terminals to the spill switch and re-  
secure the bracket.  
FIGURE 26  
For aesthetics, the adapter has been designed to accept  
a standard matte black 7" stove pipe and the Napoleon  
decorative brass band (standard with the GS150KT). Both  
are available from your Napoleon dealer.  
ADDING VENT SECTIONS  
For ease of assembly, a  
7" telescoping stove pipe  
may be installed over the  
4" vent connection of the  
adapter. Add vent sections,  
twist locking (clockwise)  
securely, to the required  
height. The vent should ex-  
tend, at least, 3 feet above  
its point of contact with the  
roof and, at least, 2 feet  
higher than any wall, roof  
or building within 10 feet.  
FIGURE 28. (This is a  
guideline only; local vent-  
ing codes should be  
followed which may differ in  
height and clearance re-  
quirements.)

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE  
Purge all gas lines with the glass door open. Assure that  
TURBO BURNER OPERATION  
AND MAINTENANCE  
a continuous gas flow is at the burner before closing the  
door. Allow several minutes (5-15) for the flame to stabi-  
lize after ignition.  
The purpose of the turbo burner is to increase heat output  
or BTUs of the unit and will only operate when the main  
burner is functioning. To turn the turbo burner on, simply  
depress the burner control knob (located in the valve com-  
partment at the left hand side below the piezo ignitor) and  
rotate the knob counter-clockwise to 'high'.  
The turbo burner flame can be observed on the reflective  
surface in the back right corner of the firebox.  
The burner flame height may now adjusted to achieve the  
heat output required. Because the flame is very efficient it  
will burn a very blue, almost transparent colour.  
MODEL GS50 ONLY  
SPILL SWITCH  
This is a thermally activated switch, attached  
to the back of the chimney adapter, which  
senses the change in temperature and shuts  
down the gas valve in the event of a severe  
downdraft of air or a blocked or disconnected  
vent. It acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a  
build up of carbon monoxide or an explosion  
of unburnt 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.  
ALL MODELS  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
TAMPERING WITH THE SWITCH CAN RESULT IN CAR-  
BON MONOXIDE (CO) POISONING AND POSSIBLE  
DEATH.  
To turn off the burner, rotate the control knob clockwise to  
'high'; depress the knob and turn to 'off'.  
The on-off switch is located on the back of the unit at the top  
left corner on models GDS50 and GS50.  
VENTINGACTION CHECK: ACHECK  
FOR CORRECT VENTING ACTION  
MUST BE MADE BEFORE THE IN-  
STALLED STOVE IS LEFT WITH THE  
CUSTOMER. Test in the following  
manner:  
1. Close all doors and windows in  
the room / start exhaust fans in the  
home / turn fireplace blower off (if  
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 manufac-  
turing 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 fireplace may emit a  
slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust  
particles in the heat exchanger burning off. Open a win-  
dow to sufficiently ventilate the room.  
FIGURE 43  
equipped).  
2. Set controls to "high" and light the unit.  
3. Wait 5 minutes. Light a match and extend it 1" into the  
hole located above the spill switch bracket on the adapter.  
4. Venting action is satisfactory if the flame stays lit. Vent-  
ing action is unsatisfactory if the flame extinguishes.  
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.

• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.  
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit  
by hand while following these instructions exactly.  
• Open windows.  
B. Before operating smell all around the fireplace area for  
gas and next to the floor because some gas is heavier  
than air and will settle on the floor.  
• Do not try to light any appliance.  
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone  
in your building.  
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never  
use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not try to  
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or  
attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.  
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's  
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.  
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-  
partment.  
D. Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under  
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to  
inspect the fireplace and replace any part of the control  
system and any gas control which has been under water.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when ser-  
vicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-  
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.  
This insert 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.  
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assem-  
bly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.  
2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shut-  
ter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by  
vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.  
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 5-10 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 miss-  
ing. Replace if necessary.  
8. Lift the door from its hinges to clean hinge pins and  
lubricate using high-temp dry graphite as necessary. Re-  
place.  
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures that the hinges expe-  
rience, wet lubricants such as oil and WD40 will cause the  
hinge to seize and are therefore not suitable.  
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean

1. Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the  
stove.  
2. Open the lower louvre control door, the two side doors,  
and the fire viewing door. Remove the logs.  
3. Remove the relief door held on with 6 screws. Discard  
the gasket.  
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned  
on, it will automatically start approximately 15-30 min-  
utes after lighting the stove and will run for approximately  
30-45 minutes after the stove has been turned off. Use  
of the fan increases the output of heat.  
4. Disconnect the two blower wires. Remove the blower  
bracket held on with 4 screws.  
5. Replace the blower using the existing bracket. When  
connecting the replacement blower, tighten the screws with-  
out distorting the rubber grommets. Replace the bracket/  
blower assembly on the unit.  
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings caus-  
ing irreparable damage and must be prevented from  
coming into contact with the blower or its compartment.  
Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered  
by the warranty policy.  
6. Reconnect the two wires. Hold the replacement gasket  
in place and reattach the relief door body. Replace the logs.  
Close all doors.  
7. Turn the gas supply and electricity back on.

can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a  
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner
