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 ex-
cess 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).
Catalytic tiles normally do not require cleaning. Physical
contact should be avoided. See Maintenance.
This heater is equipped with a pilot light safety
system referred to as an OXYGEN DEPLETION
SENSOR and is designed to turn off the heater if
not enough fresh air is available.
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or other combustible material other than wood floor-
ing, the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth.
Use only accessories designed for and
listed with your specific fireplace.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box
must be electrically connected and grounded in accord-
ance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use
the currentANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
MAY LEAD TO DEATH
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN
TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUAL-
ITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and
propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above
2,000ft, 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.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning re-
semble the flu, with headache, dizziness and/
or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater
may not be working properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have heater serviced.
Suitable for mobile home installation where the mobile
home has been permanently placed on its site. This
heater must not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.
Some people---pregnant women, persons
with heart or lung disease, anaemia, those
under the influence of alcohol, those at high
altitudes--- are more affected by carbon mon-
oxide than others.
This fireplace may be installed in an aftermarket per-
manently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where
not prohibited by local codes.

INSTALLATION
COMBUSTION & VENTILATION
AIR PROVISIONS
DETERMINING CONFINED OR
UNCONFINED SPACE
To determine the volume of the room where the heater is
to be installed, multiply the width x the length x the ceiling
height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms
are connected by grills or openings such as kitchen pass-
throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms may be added to
the total.
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or
unusually tight construction unless provisions are pro-
vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
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', (i.e. drywall/sheetrock) as would
any other outside wall of the home. This will ensure
that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the
cavity.
Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount
by 50 to determine the maximum Btu/hr that the space can
support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Add the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within
the space such as gas furnace, gas water heater, etc. Do
not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their
input and output air from and to the outdoors.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a con-
fined space as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kW) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfined space as a space whose vol-
ume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kW) of the aggregate input rating of all appli-
ances installed in that space. Rooms communicating di-
rectly with the space in which the appliances are installed,
through openings not furnished with doors are consid-
ered a part of the unconfined space.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be oper-
ated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space
or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide
adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.
The GVF36 is rated at 30,000BTUs per hour and
therefore requires a minimum unconfined space
of 1,500 cubic feet.
ROOM 2
ROOM 1
FIGURE 1
If for example,
the length of the rooms is 10 feet,
the width of Room 1 is 10 feet,
HEIGHT
the width of Room 2 is 15 feet
the height of the rooms is 8 feet.
The volume of Room 1: 10 x 10 x 8 = 800 cubic feet.
The volume of Room 2: 10 x 15 x 8 = 1200 cubic feet.
LENGTH
Room Volume = Length x Width x Height
Max BTU/hr = Room Volume x 1000 ÷ 50
EXAMPLE 1
EXAMPLE 2
If in this example a solid door separates Room 1 from
Room 2, the volume of Room 2 could not be used. In this
case the maximum BTU/h would be:
In this example, because there is no door to the adjoining
room, the volume of the adjoining room may be added to
the volume of the room with the heater to get a total
unconfined space.
800 x 1000
Maximum BTU/h:
= 16,000 BTU/h
50
The total unconfined space: 800 + 1200 = 2000 cubic feet.
2000 x 1000
This would be considered a confined space since it can
not support the 30,000BTU/h input of the heater and it
would be necessary to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air to Room 1.
Maximum BTU/h:
= 40,000 BTU/h
50
If there are no more fuel burning appliances within this
space then the 30,000 BTU/h input of the fireplace is suit-
able to be installed. This also assumes that the construc-
tion of this space is not unusually tight.

GAS INSTALLATION
1. Move the fireplace into position and secure using the
nailing tabs and/or secure to the floor through the ¼"ø
holes located at either end of the base.
a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmos-
phere have a continuous water vapour retarder with a
rating of 1 perm (6 x 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with
openings gasketed or sealed, and
2. Install rigid black pipe, 1/2" type-L copper tubing or, if
local codes permit, a 3/8" flex connector and shutoff valve
to the gas line and the fireplace gas valve. Seal and tighten
securely. An adapter fitting is required between the gas
valve and the copper tubing or flex connector.
b) Weather stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors, and
c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as
joints around window and door frames, between sole
plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between
wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and
gas lines, and at other openings.
DO NOT KINK FLEX CONNECTOR.
FIGURE 2
An unvented room heater is recommended for use as a
secondary heat source rather than as a primary source.
Gas combustion produces water vapour which could oc-
cur at the rate of approximately one ounce of water for
every 1,000 BTU/hr of gas input. During the cold weather
season, indoor humidity levels tend to be low. Conse-
quently, this water vapour can enhance the living space.
However if a problem should occur:
3. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.
4. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall
switch or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a con-
venient location. Route a 2 strand, solid core millivolt wire
through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of
the unit. The recommended maximum lead length de-
pends on wire size:
a) ensure sufficient combustion and circulation air
b) use a dehumidifier
c) do not use the unvented room heater as a primary
heat source

Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
FRAMING
of the fireplace but must not cover any of the black face-
areas of the fireplace. Non-combustible material (brick,
stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use
2x4's and frame to local building codes. FIGURE 5-7.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system.
FIGURE 5
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 accesso-
ries.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 4 feet away from the front face.
NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
To install the fireplace face
flush with the finished wall,
position the framework to
accommodate the thick-
ness of the finished wall.
Bend out the four nailing
tabs, attached on either side
of the fireplace and secure

PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon
Fireplaces, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect
that is different in every installation. Take the time to care-
fully position the glowing embers for a maximum glowing
effect.
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the fire-
place, the colours will become more uniform as colour
pigments burn in during the heat activated curing process.

dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
GLOWING EMBERS
Tear the 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. Use only certified "glowing
embers" and PHAZERTM logs available from your Napo-
leon dealer.

DOOR HINGE
NOTE: ORNAMENTAL INSETS CAN NOT BE USED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE CATALYTIC DOOR
This unique patented catalytic system was designed to
provide unparalleled safety and peace of mind. The top of
the door contains four catalytic tiles which are designed to
filter out combustion gases and limit the carbon monox-
ide output. It is likely that with the fireplace in operation, the
catalytic tiles will actually scrub the carbon monoxide nor-
mally found in the room and reduce it to a lower level. The
tiles must not be altered or removed. They are not field
serviceable and must be tested annually. The hood sup-
plied with the unit must be disgarded and replaced with
the hood designed for use with the catalytic door.

SLOTS
The three slots on the
blower mounting
bracket allow ease of
adjustment when
FIGURE 23
attaching the blower. For
a quiet running blower,
do not allow the assem-
bly to sit on the firebox
base.
The wire harness provided in this kit is a univer-
sal harness. When installed, ensure that any ex-
cess wire is contained, preventing it from making
contact with moving or hot objects.
FIGURE 20
Because the blower is thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approxi-
mately 10 minutes after lighting the fireplace and
will run for approximately 30-45 after the fireplace
has been turned off. Use of the fan increases the
output of heat.
If optional blower kit is to be installed, remove thermodisc
from the bracket supplied in the kit and disgard the bracket.
Install thermodisc in the bracket supplied with the fire-
place. It is recommended to attach the wires to the disc
and install the bracket before installing the blower. Attach
the black and white wires to the disc, then secure the
bracket to the stud at the bottom left on the unit using the
lock washer and wing nut. Ensure that the thermodisc
touches the firebox wall.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bear-
ings causing irreparable damage. Care must be
taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into
contact with the blower or its compartment. Any

GD65 FAN INSTALLATION
THERMOSTATIC SENSOR CONTROL
ELECTRICAL INSTALLA-
This optional kit is meant to be used only in conjunction
with the GD65 Fan Kit, which may be ordered from your
Wolf Steel /Napoleon dealer.
TION TO BE DONE BY A
QUALIFIED INSTALLER and
must be connected and
grounded in accordance with
local codes. In the absence
of local codes, use the cur-
rent ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE.
With the thermostatic sensor option, the fan, when turned
on, becomes thermally activated, and will automatically
run approximately 10 minutes after the fireplace has been
lit and for approximately 30-45 minutes after the fireplace
has been turned off.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
FIGURE 24
If optional thermostatic sensor kit is to be installed, re-
move thermodisc from the bracket supplied in the kit and
disgard the bracket. Install thermodisc in the bracket sup-
plied with the fireplace. It is recommended to attach the
wires to the disc and install the bracket before installing
the blower. Attach the black and white wires to the disc,
then secure the bracket to the stud at the bottom left on the
unit using the lock washer and wing nut. Ensure that the
thermodisc touches the firebox wall.
If the fireplace was not previously equipped with a
blower, route a grounded 2-wire, 60hz power cable to the
junction box. At this point, it must be strain relieved and
insulated.
The wire harness provided in this kit is a universal har-
ness. When installed, ensure that any excess wire is con-
tained, preventing it from making contact with moving or
hot objects.
Unplug the power cord from the receptacle. Connect all
wires as shown.
Position the vibration reducing pad into the clip and onto
the threaded stud at the other end, piercing a hole into the
pad. The fan assembly must be able to be positioned
entirely onto the pad.
Slide the fan assembly past the controls and into the clip.
Secure using the lock washer and nut provided. Plug the
harness cord into the receptacle.

lowing a vacation or a warm weather season, the fire-
place may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is
caused by dust particles 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 con-
dition caused by the curing of the logs and the "burn-
in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manu-
facturing process and will not occur again.

lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
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 touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbour's
phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.
C. Use only your hand to push in and turn the gas control
knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push in and
turn by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a qualified
service technician. Force or attempted repair may re-
sult in a fire or explosion.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire de-
partment.

CLEANING
MAINTENANCE
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER
This procedure must be performed by a qualified
service person!
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servic-
ing. This heater should be inspected and serviced before
use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
The fireplace area must be kept clear and free of combus-
tible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and
liquids. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must
not be obstructed.
Inspect the pilot for any visible contamination or debris
(usually lint, pet hair, spider webs, carpet fibre, etc.) and
remove.
Disconnect the pilot from the pilot tubing line. Using a 7/16”
wrench, remove the injector from the pilot housing. Blow
out the housing in the same direction as the gas flow.
Re-install the injector and the pilot tube, turn on the gas
and check for leaks.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and oxygen deple-
tion sensor system, remove the logs to expose both as-
semblies.
If this does not improve the performance, replace the pilot
with an exact replacement. The device is tamper resist-
ant with no field serviceable parts.
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
burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and promptly ig-
nites the main burner.
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.

VENTURI ADJUSTMENT
7. If using an optional catalytic door, check that the
gasketing on the sides, and top of the door is not broken
or missing. Replace if necessary.
Air shutter adjustment must only be done by a
qualified gas installer!
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning.
CATALYTIC TILE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Carbon can be distributed in surrounding
living area if the air shutter is improperly adjusted.
The catalytic tile is not field serviceable. It may only be
handled or replaced by a qualified service person familiar
with the specific characteristics of the appliance. Both room
values and output from the catalytic tiles must be checked.
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.
Check the room value with the heater off. Check the fire-
place value after 10 minutes of heater operation to allow
the tiles to come up to temperature.
Opening the air shutter will also reduce exhaust odours
smelled within the room. See Trouble Shooting Guide.
In both cases the value of CO should not exceed 9ppm.
Catalytic output must be checked annually at the
beginning of the heating season.
