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-

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.

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
to the sleeve using 3 screws. Seal the joint and screw
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-

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

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.

guideline only; local vent-
ing codes should be
followed which may differ in
height and clearance re-
quirements.)

INSTALLING FLASHING
AND STORM COLLAR
Remove nails from the shingles above and to the sides of
the chimney. Place the flashing over the vent pipe and slide
it underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles.
Ensure that the vent pipe is properly centered within the
flashing, giving a 3/4" margin all around. Fasten to the roof
on the top and sides. 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 flashing
with roofing material.

4. Secure the terminal block into place as shown with the
screw supplied. FIGURE 32.
5. Gently pull the two white spill switch wires to take up any
slack. Feed these wires down through the combustion air
opening and back up through the 4x6 inch cut-out in the
base. Connect the shorter of the 2 wires to the terminal
block.
6. Attach the black on/off switch wire with the 3/16" tab to
the other side of the terminal block. (The other black wire
has a 1/4" tab and is to be attached to the gas valve.)

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.

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

manner:
1. Close all doors and windows in

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-

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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• 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.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG ELECTRI-
CAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE
STOVE!
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
