VENTING
THE BGD36CF(G) USES: 4" EXHAUST / 7" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE
THE BGD42CF USES: 5" EXHAUST / 8" AIR INTAKE VENT PIPE
MODEL BGD36CF MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT.
REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION.
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. Provide a means for visually checking the vent connection to the fireplace
after the fireplace is installed. Vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) should be insulated
with the insulation wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation.
VENTING LENGTHS
REQUIRED RISE ON HORIZONTAL VENTING
Use only Wolf Steel, Simpson Dura-Vent, Selkirk Direct Temp or

INSTALLATION
WALL AND CEILING PROTECTION
BGD36CF(G)
BGD36CF(G) ONLY
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum clearance of 1" at
the bottom and sides of the vent and 2" at the top on all horizontal
runs to combustibles is required. The firestop spacer (W010-1774)
supplied with the unit must be used to maintain this clearance.
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: - A minimum of 1" all around the vent
pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required except for clear-
ances in fireplace enclosures. See "MINIMUM ENCLOSURE CLEAR-
ANCES" section. Use firestop spacer W500-0096 (not supplied).
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.
Having determined the correct height for the air terminal location,
cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9 7/8" wide by 11 3/8" high
to accommodate the firestop assembly. Dry fit the firestop assembly
before proceeding to ensure the brackets on the rear surface fit within
the horizontal framing.
As an alternative to framing, the vent pipe can be enclosed in the wall
using Napoleon® vent sleeve VS47KT.
BGD42CF
NOTE: THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WITH
THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.
HORIZONTAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum clearance of 2" all
around the vent pipe on all horizontal runs to combustibles is required.
Use firestop spacer W010-1778 (supplied).
VERTICAL VENT SECTIONS: A minimum of 1" all around the vent
pipe on all vertical runs to combustibles is required. Use firestop spacer
W500-0028 (not supplied).
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for combustible walls
that are less than 8 1/2" thick but the vent shield must extend the full
depth of the combustible wall.
1. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the outer edge of
the inside surface of the firestop assembly, fit the firestop assembly
to the hole and secure using the 4 screws (W415-0026) supplied in
your manual baggy.
2. Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply high
temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) between the pipe,
and the firestop.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION
BGD42CF ONLY
1. Determine the air terminal location, cut and frame 9 3/4" for
the BGD36CF(G), or 10 3/4" for the BGD42CF square opening in
the ceiling and an opening in the roof to provide the minimum 1"
clearance between the fireplace vent pipe and any combustible
material. Try to center the exhaust pipe location midway between
two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line
up the center of the openings.
ADJUSTABLE FIRESTOP INSTALLATION
Apply a bead of caulking all around the edge of the opening and
place the firestop top, so that the vent shield covers the top of the
vent within the opening.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for combustible
walls that are less than 8 1/2" thick but the vent shield must extend
the full depth of the combustible wall.
Place the firestop bottom against the firestop top and secure the
two together. Adjust the assembly to ensure it is tight to the vent.
Secure firestop to wall. Ensure that both spacer and shield main-
tain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is
installed in its final position, apply sealant between the vent pipe
and the firestop spacer. This restricts cold air from being drawn
into the room or around the fireplace. See Figures 49a-c.
DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
A vent pipe shield will prevent
any materials such as insula-
tion, from filling up the 1" air

minimum 16" when fastened. If the attic
space is tight, we recommend threading
the Wolf Steel vent pipe collar or equiva-
lent loosely onto the air terminal assembly as it is passed
through the attic. The air terminal must be located vertically and
plumb.
6. Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of
the chimney. Place the flashing over the air terminal and slide it
underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that
the air terminal is properly centered 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
flashing with roofing material.
7. Align the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector,
place the terminal over the air terminal connector making sure the
inner pipe goes into the hole in the terminal. Secure with screws
provided.
8. Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2" above the
flashing. Note: Maintain a minimum of 2" space between the air
inlet base and the storm collar. Install the storm collar around the
air terminal and slide down to the caulking. Tighten to ensure that
a weather-tight seal between the air terminal and the collar is
achieved.
9. Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and securing
as above. Attach an exhaust telescopic sleeve to the last section
of rigid piping. Secure with screws and seal. Repeat using an air
intake telescopic sleeve.
2. Apply high temperature sealant W573-0007 (not supplied) to
the outer edge of the exhaust vent pipe of the fireplace. Attach
the first vent component and secure using 3 self tapping screws.
Repeat using air intake vent pipe and seal using high temperature

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS
BGD42CF ONLY: Vertical terminations may display a very active
flame. As this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be
restricted using restrictor plate, W500-0205. This reduces the
velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and
creating a more traditional appearance. The plate has a series of
holes to allow for adjustment.
Remove the two screws on either side of the exhaust collar inside
the firebox. Install the plate as shown. Install the plate on the desired
set of holes then replace the screws.

FIREPLACE AND VENT SURFACES:
Non-Combustible framing:
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to accommodate
for the thickness of the finished floor materials, 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.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapor
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 that clearance to combustibles is maintained within
the cavity.

GLASS BURNER INSTALLATION
NOTE: When removing the glass ember tray make sure the glass
embers are away from the center of the screen, exposing the burner,
before lifting glass ember tray out.
When replacing burner, absolutely no glass embers can be in cup
surrounding the orifice. HINT: If glass falls into cup and surrounds
the orifice, insert a clean bag into a vacuum cleaner and vacuum
out glass embers or replacement glass embers can be ordered from
Wolf Steel Ltd.
Spread the clear glass embers (W300-0102) onto the glass ember
tray evenly covering the burner tube (follow natural shape of tray).
FIGURE 109
Note: The distribution of clear glass embers over the burner tube
will influence the flame height.

If the fireplace was not
previously equipped with
a blower: route a grounded
2-wire, 60hz power cable
to the receptacle / junction
box. At this point, it must
be strain relieved and in-
sulated.
6. Reverse procedure
to re-assemble.
Because the blower is
thermally activated, when
turned on, it will automatically start approximately 10 minutes
after lighting the fireplace and will run for approximately 30-45
minutes after the fireplace has been turned off. Use of the fan
increases the output of heat.
BGD42CF ACCESSING THE BLOWER
1. Remove the main door using the instructions on Pg #29.
2. Carefully remove the logs.
3. Remove the grate by lifting it off of the two securing pins.
4. Remove the 6 screws illustrated in Fig. 112b and lift out the
log support. Be careful not to lose the spacers for the screws
indicated.
The three slots on the blower mounting bracket allow ease of adjust-
ment when attaching the blower. For a quiet running blower, do not
allow the assembly to sit on the firebox base.
Slide the vibration reducing pad (A) into the clip (C) and up against
the threaded stud (B) at the other end. The blower must be able to
be positioned entirely onto the pad.
FIGURE 113
To ease installation of the blower, remove the hinge screen and valve
control door (lower louvres) from the base of the fireplace.
Tilt the blower onto its side. Slide it past the controls and into the clip
(C). Secure to the threaded stud using the lock washer and wing nut
provided. Ensure that the blower does not touch the fireplace base
or the firebox.

OPERATION BGD36CF & BGD42CF
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace removed
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. In both cases, open a window
to sufficiently ventilate the room.
or opened. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before installing the door.
When lit for the first time, the fireplace will emit a slight odour
for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition caused
by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the
manufacturing process and will not occur again.

- Poor flame rectification
or contaminated
Verify the flame is engulfing the sensor rod. This will increase the flame
rectification. Verify correct pilot orfice is installed and inlet gas specifications
to manual. (Remember, the flame carries the rectification current, not the
gas. If the flame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orfice or
too high of an inlet pressure can cause the pilot flame to lift.) The sensor rod
may need cleaning.

Verify that the ceramic insulator around the sensor rod is not cracked, dam-

Clean sensor rod with an emery cloth to remove any contamination that may
have accumulated on the sensor rod. Verify continuity with multimeter with
ohms set at the lowest range.

SYMPTOM
PROBLEM
- Wiring / Connection
- Wiring harness
TEST SOLUTION
Inspect all wires, ensure good tight connections. Verify that all wiring is
installed exactly as specified.
Inspect the wiring harness, and verify the harness is tightly connected
to the module. Verify that you have 7 wires and they are connected in
the right order.
Conduct the following test to verify if the problem is the module or valve.
To measure voltages, turn multimeter to "DC" place the red lead from
multimeter on the screw on the terminal block for the wire you are check-
ing, touch black lead to ground (valve body).

- Module or Valve
Importantly, a "Zero" volts reading does not automatically indicate a bad
module, there may be too little resistance in the valve solenoid. Check
the Green wire disconnected from valve that the voltage output from the
module should be between 2 and 3 volts
Check all seals.
- Fireplace is spilling.
Exhaust fumes smelled in
room, headaches.
Carbon is being deposited
on glass, logs or combus-
tion chamber surfaces.
- Air shutter has become blocked
- Flame is impinging on the
logs or combustion chamber.
Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.
Check that the logs are correctly positioned.
Open air shutter to increase the primary air.
Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and orifice
size as specified by the rating plate values.
Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and
that the seal is tight.
Check that both vent liners are free of holes and well sealed
at all joints.
Check that minimum rise per foot has been adhered to for
any horizontal venting.
Flames are very aggres-
sive.
