VENTING
MODELS GD36 AND BGD36 MAY BE VENTED EITHER AS A TOP VENT OR A REAR VENT.
REFER TO THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR INSTALLATION.
For optimum performance it is recommended that all
horizontal runs have a 1 inch rise per foot when using
Napoleon flexible vent components.
VENTING LENGTHS
Use only Wolf Steel 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 Wolf Steel venting components, use only ap-
proved Wolf Steel rigid / flexible components with the fol-
lowing termination kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD222, or
1/12 TO 7/12 PITCH ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD110, 8/12 TO
12/12 ROOF TERMINAL KIT GD111, FLAT ROOF TERMI-
NAL KIT GD112 or PERISCOPE KIT GD201 (for wall pen-
etration below grade). With flexible venting, in conjunction
with the various terminations, use either the 5 foot vent kit
GD220 or the 10 foot vent kit GD330.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk
or paved driveway which is located between two sin-
gle family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local
codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or
vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1¼" air
gap all around between the inner liner and outer liner is
required for safe operation. Use a firestop when pen-
etrating interior walls, floor or ceiling.
Minimum clearance to combustible con-
struction from fireplace and vent surfaces:
sides, back, bottom and top of the unit
recessed depth
top, sides and bottom of the vent pipe*
top of the vent pipe - rear vent only*
0 inch
14 inches
1 inch
2 inches
Wolf Steel rigid and flexible venting systems must not
be combined.
Wolf Steel and Simpson Dura-Vent venting systems
must not be combined.
* REAR VENT - A clearance to combustibles of 1" at the
bottom of the vent and 2" at the top must be maintained
during the first 12" of venting when penetrating combusti-
ble walls. The firestop spacer (W615-044) supplied with
the unit should be used to maintain this clearance. There-
after a 1" clearance to combustibles may be maintained
using firestop spacer (W500-0096).
These vent kits allow for either horizontal or vertical venting
of the fireplace. FIGURES 3 & 5. The maximum allowable
horizontal run is 20 feet. The maximum allowable vertical
vent length is 40 feet. The maximum number of 4" vent
connections is two horizontally or three vertically (exclud-
ing the fireplace and the air terminal connections) when
using aluminum flexible venting.
For optimum flame appearance and fireplace perform-
ance, keep the vent length and number of elbows to a
minimum.
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.
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.
TOP VENT - Only a clearance to combustibles of 1" all
around the vent pipe is required.

This application occurs
1" at the bottom of the vent and 2" at the top must
be maintained during the first 12" of venting when
penetrating combustible walls. The firestop spacer
(W615-0044) supplied with the unit should be used
to maintain this clearance. Thereafter a 1" clearance
to combustibles may be maintained using firestop
spacer (W500-0096).
when venting through a

various roof pitches are
available from your Napo-
leon dealer. See Accesso-
ries to order the specific
kit required.
FIGURE 25
TOP EXIT - Only a clearance to combustibles of 1"
all around the vent pipe is required.
1. Determine the air ter-
minal location, cut and
frame 9½ inch openings in the ceiling and the roof to pro-
vide the minimum 1 inch clearance between the fireplace
pipe / liner and any combustible material. Try to center the
exhaust pipe location midway between two joist to prevent
having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center of
the openings. DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE
OF MATERIAL.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
This application occurs when
venting through an exterior wall.
Having determined the air termi-
nal location, cut and frame a hole
in an exterior wall with a minimum
opening as required. See Note
above. (As an alternative to fram-
ing, a vent pipe shield may be in-
stalled, ensuring a 1" clearance
to combustibles.)
A vent pipe shield
will prevent any ma-
terials such as insu-
lation, from filling up
FIGURE 26
the 1" air space
around the pipe. Nail
headers between
the joist for extra
support.
FIGURE 23
1. Mark and cut the vent pipe
shield to the determined depth of
the combustible wall. Apply a bead of caulking (not sup-
plied) 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 / liner. (See note above). Do not fill this cavity with any
type of material. 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 fireplace.
Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain the required
clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe / liner is
installed in its final position, apply sealant between the
pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
2. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the frame-
work or to the Wolf Steel vent pipe shield plate or equiva-
lent (in the case of a finished ceiling), and secure over the
opening in the ceiling. A firestop must be placed on the
bottom of each framed opening in a roof or ceiling that the
venting system passes through. 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 fireplace. Ensure that both spacer and shield maintain
the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe
/ liner is installed in its final position, apply sealant be-
tween the pipe / liner and the firestop spacer.
NOTE: Two methods to ensure the air terminal covers
the cut out in the wall are;
OR
1. Where the opening in the outside wall has been cut
10½" tall to provide the 2" clearance from the vent pipe,
terminal extension plate W500-0103 must be used to cover
the opening.
2. The first 12" of vent pipe must have a 2" clearance to
combustible material when the vent pipe exits off the back
of the fireplace. This applies to any finishing material or
insulation in the wall that the vent pipe passes through
within that 12". The clearance from the top of the vent pipe
to the combustible material on the outside surface of the
wall only requires a 1" clearance from the vent pipe.

required clearance to combustibles. Holding the air termi-
nal (lettering in an upright, readable position), secure to
the exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing with
caulking (not supplied).
For safe and proper operation of the fireplace, follow
the venting instructions exactly.
HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
1. Cut or frame a hole in an exterior wall with a minimum
round or square opening of 10½ inches. Secure the firestop
spacer over the opening to the interior wall.
5. Apply a heavy bead of the high temperature sealant to
the inside of the 4" liner approximately 1" from the end. Slip
the liner a minimum of 2" over the fireplace vent collar and
secure with 3 #8 screws.
2. Stretch the 4" diameter aluminum flexible liner to the
required length taking into account the additional length
needed for the finished wall surface. Slip the liner a mini-
mum of 2" over the inner sleeve of the air terminal and

temperature sealant.
6. Using the 7" diameter flexible aluminium liner, apply
sealant, slide a minimum of 2" over the fireplace combus-
tion air collar and secure with 3 #8 screws.
7. If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace,
couple them together as illustrated. The vent system must
be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical
and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible strapping to
maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
In Canada, mobile home installation may be vented hori-
zontally or vertically. In the United States, it may only be
installed vertically. See "Vertical Venting" or "Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation" for 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.
The fireplace is equipped with two 1/4" diameter holes lo-
cated in the front left and right corners of the base. For
mobile home installations, the fireplace must be fastened
in place. Use #10 hex head screws, inserted through the
holes in the base to secure. It is recommended that the
fireplace be secured in all installations.
2. Route a 3/8" N.P.T. black iron gas line, 1/2" type-L
copper tubing or equivalent to the fireplace.
3. For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch
or millivolt thermostat may be installed in a convenient
location. Route 2-strand (solid core) millivolt wire through
the electrical hole located at the bottom left side of the unit.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this
fireplace system. Objects placed in front of the fireplace
should be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face.
4. 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.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-

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.
Do not kink flex connector.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front
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.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water
solution.
Do not use open flame.
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or
gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
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.

LOG PLACEMENT
PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon Fire-
places, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect that is
different in every installation. Take the time to carefully po-
sition the glowing embers for a maximum glowing effect.
Log colours may vary. During the initial use of the fireplace,
the colours will become more uniform as colour pigments
burn in during the heat activated curing process.
FIGURE 46a-d

4. Position the notch located on the end of the center log
(#5) against the middle grate post with the other end of the
log resting in the pocket of the left crossover log.
#1
1. Place the back log (#1) onto the log support tray and in
front of the tabs. The tabs maintain an air space between
the log and firebox back to facilitate combustion air flow.
Ensure that the back of the log rests against the brackets
on the back wall of the firebox.
#6
5. Place the bottom of the right crossover log (#6) against
the right firebox side and pulled forward to the grate. The
top of the log should rest in the pocket provided on the
center log (#5).
CHARCOAL EMBERS
Randomly place the charcoal embers along the front and
sides of the log support tray in a realistic manner. Fine
dust found in the bottom of the bag should not be used.
VERMICULITE (MODEL GD36 ONLY)
#2
#3
Sprinkle vermiculite around the charcoal embers.
Note: Both charcoal embers and vermiculite are not to
be placed on the burner.
2. Move the two small logs (#2 & #3) into position, lining
up the studs located on the burner with the holes on the
bottom of the logs. Ensure that the small logs sit flat on the
burner.
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.

LOGO PLACEMENT
3. Place the bottom of the left crossover log (#4) against
the left firebox side and pulled forward to the grate.
The top of the log should rest in the pocket on the back log.

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 fire-
place has been turned off. Use of the fan increases
the output of heat.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the fireplace
removed. Assure that a continuous gas flow is at the
burner before installing the door.
After extended periods of non-operation such as fol-
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 in the heat exchanger burning
off. In both cases, open a window to sufficiently venti-
late the room.
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.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
A. This fireplace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit
by hand while following these instructions exactly.
• Turn off all gas to the fireplace.
• 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.
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.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• 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.
• 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 wa-
ter.
GAS KNOB
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: The gas valve has an interlock device which
will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocou-
ple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the
thermocouple to cool.
5. Turn gas knob counter-clockwise to pilot.
6. Depress slightly and hold gas knob while lighting the
pilot with the push button ignitor. Keep knob depressed
for one minute, then release. If pilot does not continue to
burn, repeat steps 3 through 5.
When lighting and re-lighting, the gas knob cannot be
turned from pilot to off unless the knob is depressed
slightly.
7. With pilot lit, depress and turn gas knob counter-clock-
wise to on.
1. Stop! Read the above safety information on this label.
2. Turn off all electric power to the fireplace.
3. Turn the gas knob clockwise to off.
8. If equipped with remote on-off switch/thermostat, main
burner may not come on when you turn valve to on. Remote
switch must be in the on position to ignite burner.
4. Wait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas including near the floor. Stop! Follow "B" in the above
safety information on this label. If you don't smell gas go
the next step.
9. Turn on all electric power to
the fireplace.

MAINTENANCE
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out
any of the ports which may not be burning or are not burn-
ing properly.
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER
BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when serv-
icing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dan-
gerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
This fireplace 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.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to
engulf the thermocouple and thermopile and reaches to-
ward the burner with the third jet.
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.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly,
remove the logs to expose both assemblies.
7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom
of the door is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.
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.
ADJUSTMENTS
These settings are for rear vented (maximum) horizontal
termination. Adjustment may be required depending on
fuel type, vent configuration and altitude.
PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the pilot screw to provide properly sized flame. Turn
in a clockwise direction to reduce the gas flow.
Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow flame, but
can lead to carboning. 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 minutes for the final flame colour to be estab-
lished.
