THIS GAS FIREPLACE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED
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,
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.
In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN/CGA -B149
Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States.
Mobile home installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, install to the current standard for gas
equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or
the manufactured home construction and safety standard, Title 24
CFR, part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for manufactured home
installations, Sites and Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 5OIA in the
United States
.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
open. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the burner
before closing the door.
Under extreme vent configurations, allow several min-
utes (5-15) for the flame to stabilize after ignition.
The fireplace and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess 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).
When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or
other combustible material other than wood flooring, the fireplace
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth.
If the optional heat circulating blower is installed, the blower must
be electrically 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/NFPA 70
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
Minimum clearance to combustible construction from
fireplace and vent surfaces:
sides, back, bottom, and top 0 inches
vent pipe 1 inch
recessed depth (corner installation) 25¼ inches
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum
of 48" away from the glass front faces of the unit.
FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, ALL BURNER ASSEMBLIES HAVE
BEEN TEST-FIRED TO ASSURE THEIR OPERATIONS AND
QUALITY! Maximum input is 30,000 BTU/h for natural gas and
propane. When the fireplace is installed at elevations above 4,500ft,
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.
Maximum output for natural gas is 20,400 BTU/hr at an efficiency
of 68% with the fan on.
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.
This fireplace is approved for bathroom, bedroom and bed-sitting
room installations and is suitable for mobile home installation
NO EXTERNAL ELECTRICITY (110 VOLTS OR 24 VOLTS) IS
REQUIRED FOR THE GAS SYSTEM OPERATION. Expansion /
contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are
normal and are to be expected.
If utilizing one of Wolf Steel's trim or surround kits, follow the
framing instructions on page 14 and the finishing instructions on
page 23, for removal of the top extension.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth. The glass is 3/16" tempered glass available
from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
Do not substitute materials.
If the door glass should crack or break, do not operate the fireplace.
Replace only with a door assembly certified with the fireplace.
See DOOR, LOUVRE AND TRIM INSTALLATION for removal and
replacement details. 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.
Provide adequate ventilation air. Provide adequate
accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the
fireplace. Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
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.
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 enclo-
sure 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.
