TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Do not burn wood or other materials in this fireplace.

• Adults and especially children should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid

burns or clothing ignition. Supervise young children when they are in the same room as the fireplace.

• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the fireplace.

• Due to high temperatures, the fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

• Ensure you have incorporated adequate safety measure to protect infants/toddlers from touching hot surfaces.

• Even after the fireplace is out, the glass and/or screen will remain hot for an extended period of time.

• Check with your local hearth specialty dealer for safety screens and hearth guards to protect children from hot surfaces. These

screens and guards must be fastened to the floor.

• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing must be replaced prior to operating the fireplace.

• It is imperative that the control compartments, burners and circulating blower and its passageway in the fireplace and venting

system are kept clean. The fireplace and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified

service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. The fireplace

area must be kept clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

• Under no circumstances should this fireplace be modified.

• This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

• Do not use this fireplace if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fireplace

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 ﬁ restop assembly

. Dry ﬁ t the ﬁ restop assembly

before proceeding to ensure the brackets on the rear surface ﬁ t within

the horizontal framing.

As an alternative to framing, the vent pipe can be enclosed in the wall

using Napoleon® vent sleeve VS47KT.

NOTE: THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WITH

THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.

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 ﬁ restop assembly, ﬁ t the ﬁ restop 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 ﬁ nal position, apply high

temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) between the pipe,

and the ﬁ restop.

NOTE: DO NOT FILL THE CAVITY BETWEEN THE VENT PIPE

AND THE FIRESTOP SLEEVE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.

Before attaching elbows to the collars on the back of the ﬁ replace,

1½" will need to be trimmed off the 4" collar.

From inside the ﬁ rebox, insert the 4" ﬂ ue pipe / gasket assembly

(provided) through the rear of the ﬁ rebox.

Secure the gasket assembly to the rear and top of the unit using

4 #8 x 3/4" Hex Head Wildrill screws supplied.

WARNING

W415-0661 / C / 02.20.08

Apply a bead of caulking all around the edge of the opening and

place the ﬁ restop 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 ﬁ restop bottom against the ﬁ restop top and secure the

two together. Adjust the assembly to ensure it is tight to the vent.

Secure ﬁ

restop to wall. Ensure that both spacer and shield main-

tain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the vent pipe is

installed in its ﬁ nal position, apply sealant between the vent pipe

and the ﬁ restop spacer. This restricts cold air from being drawn

into the room or around the ﬁ replace. See Figures 49a-c.

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 ﬁ replace 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.

Apply a bead of caulking all

around and place a ﬁ restop

spacer over the vent shield to

restrict cold air from being drawn

into the room or around the ﬁ replace. Ensure that both spacer and

shield maintain the required clearance to combustibles. Once the

vent pipe is installed in its ﬁ nal

position, apply high temperature

sealant W573-0002 (not sup-

plied) between the vent pipe and

the ﬁ restop spacer.

3. 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 ﬁ lling up

the 1" air space around the pipe.

Where the opening in the outside wall has been cut 13" tall to

provide 2" clearance from the vent pipe, terminal extension plate

W500-0206 must be used to cover the opening.

caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal between the air

terminal and the collar is achieved.

8. If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the ﬁ replace, 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 a clearance to combustibles

of 1".

FIGURE 58

For safe and proper operation of the

ﬁ replace, follow the venting instruc-

tions exactly. All inner exhaust and

outer intake vent pipe joints may be

sealed using either high temperature

sealant W573-0002 or high tempera-

ture Mill Pac W573-0007 with the ex-

ception of the ﬁ replace exhaust ﬂ ue

collar which must be sealed using

Mill Pac (not supplied).

FIGURE 53

WARNING

Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on horizontal or vertical

runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. A 1 1/4" air gap between

the inner and outer ﬂ exible vent pipe all around is required for

safe operation. A spacer is required at the start, middle and end

of each elbow to ensure this gap is maintained. See Figure 53.

Spacers are attached to the inner ﬂ ex liner at predetermined

intervals to maintain a 1 1/4" air gap to the outer ﬂ ex liner. These

before. Trim the air intake coupler even

with the exhaust coupler end.

5. Thread the air terminal connector /

pipe assembly down through the roof

support and attach, ensuring that the

air terminal will penetrate the roof a

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 ﬂ ashing 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 ﬂ ashing, giving a

3/4" margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do NOT nail through the

lower portion of the ﬂ ashing. Make weather-tight by sealing with

caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the

ﬂ ashing with rooﬁ ng 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

ﬂ ashing. 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.

10. REAR VENT APPLICATION: (BGD36CF(G) ONLY: Before

attaching elbows to the collars on the back of the ﬁ replace,

1½" will need to be trimmed off the exhaust pipe collar.)

Run a bead of high temperature sealant

W573-0007 (not supplied) around the

outside of the exhaust collar. Attach

the exhaust elbow to the exhaust

collar and secure with 3 screws. Run

a bead of high temperature sealant

W573-0002 (not supplied) around

the outside of the air intake collar.

Attach the air intake elbow to

the air intake collar and secure

with 3 screws. Pull the exhaust

telescopic sleeve a minimum 2"

onto the elbow. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with the air intake

telescopic sleeve.

TOP VENT APPLICATION: Run a bead of high temperature seal-

ant W573-0007 (not supplied) around the outside of the exhaust

on the ﬁ replace. Pull the exhaust telescopic sleeve a minimum of

2" onto the collar. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with the air intake

telescopic sleeve.

11. In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open

end of the vent pipe shield and tighten. This will prevent any ma-

terials, such as insulation, from ﬁ lling up the 1" air space around

the pipe.

For safe and proper operation of the ﬁ replace, follow the venting

instructions exactly.

All inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joints may be

sealed using either high temperature sealant W573-0002 or

high temperature Mill Pac W573-0007 with the exception of the

ﬁ replace exhaust ﬂ ue collar which must be sealed using Mill

Pac (not supplied).

1. Move the ﬁ replace into position.

2. Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided.

FIGURE 56. The roof support is optional. In this case the venting is

to be adequately supported using either an alternate method suit-

able to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.

3. Apply high temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied) to

the outer edge of the inner end of the air terminal connector. Slip a

coupler a minimum of 2" over the exhaust collar and secure using

3 screws.

RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS

FIGURE 65

BGD42CF ONLY: Vertical terminations may display a very active

ﬂ ame. 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 ﬂ ame 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 ﬁ rebox. Install the plate as shown. Install the plate on the desired

set of holes then replace the screws.

Proceed once the vent installation is complete.

NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within the ﬁ re-

place when complete.

1. Move the ﬁ replace into position and secure to the ﬂ oor through

the 1/4" holes located at either side of the base.

2. The ﬁ replace is designed to accept 3/8" gas supply line. The

ﬁ replace is equipped with a 3/8" manual shut-off valve.

3. Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes. In the

absence thereof, install according to the National Installation Code.

4. When ﬂ exing any gas line, support the gas valve so that the

lines are not bent or kinked.

5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solu-

tion.

DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove removed.

Assure that a continuous gas ﬂ ow is at the burner before re-

installing the door.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this ﬁ replace sys-

tem. Objects placed in front of the ﬁ replace should be kept a minimum

of 48" away from the front face.

When roughing in the ﬁ replace, raise the ﬁ replace to accommodate

for the thickness of the ﬁ nished ﬂ oor 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 ﬂ ashing

accessories.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapor

barrier coming in contact with the ﬁ replace body, it is recommended

that the walls of the ﬁ replace enclosure be “ﬁ nished” (ie: drywall/

sheetrock), as you would ﬁ nish any other outside wall of a home.

This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within

the cavity.

Combustible materials may be installed ﬂ ush with the front of the ﬁ re-

place but must not cover any of the black face-areas of the ﬁ replace.

Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude

in these areas but must not restrict glass door removal.

INSTALLING STANDOFFS

Both the BGD36CF(G) and BGD42CF are supplied with two standoffs.

For convenience, the standoffs have been shipped ﬂ at and located on

the top at the front. Before framing ensure the standoffs are bent up and

screwed into place ensuring a height of 4.5".

DONE BY A QUALI-

FIED INSTALLER and

must be electrically con-

nected and grounded in

accordance with local

codes. In the absence

of local codes, use

the current CSA C22.1

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.

Because the blower is

thermally activated, when

turned on, it will automatically start approximately 10 minutes

after lighting the ﬁ replace and will run for approximately 30-45

minutes after the ﬁ replace has been turned off. Use of the fan

increases the output of heat.

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 ﬁ rebox 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.

To ease installation of the blower, remove the hinge screen and valve

control door (lower louvres) from the base of the ﬁ replace.

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 ﬁ replace base

or the ﬁ rebox.

5. Remove the 8 perimeter screws as illustrated in Fig. 112a and

lift out the burner base. (The gas line ﬂ ex-connector should pro-

vide sufﬁ cient move-

ment to permit shifting

After extended periods of non-operation such as following a

vacation or a warm weather season, the ﬁ replace 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 sufﬁ ciently ventilate the room.

Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the ﬁ replace removed

or opened. Assure that a continuous gas ﬂ ow is at the burner

before installing the door.

When lit for the ﬁ rst time, the ﬁ replace 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.

• Turn off all gas to the ﬁ replace.

• Open windows.

• 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 ﬁ re depart-

ment.

GAS KNOB

A. This ﬁ replace is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand

while following these instructions exactly.

B. Before operating smell all around the ﬁ replace area for gas and

next to the ﬂ oor because some gas is heavier than air and will

settle on the ﬂ oor.

position.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER 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 servicing. This ﬁ replace and its venting

system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a

qualiﬁ ed service person. The ﬁ replace area must be kept clear and

free of combustible materials, gasoline or other ﬂ ammable vapours

and liquids. The ﬂ ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be

obstructed.

1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove

the logs to expose both assemblies.

2. Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter

opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming 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 ﬂ ame is large enough to engulf the

thermocouple and thermopile and reaches toward the burner with

the third jet.

5. Replace the cleaned logs.

6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all open-

ings 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 / distributor.

7. Check that the gasketing on the sides, top and bottom of the door

is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

W415-0661 / C / 02.20.08

Both ﬁ replace models have air shutters that have been factory set

open according to the chart below:

These settings are for (maximum) horizontal termination. Adjust-

ment may be required depending on fuel type, vent conﬁ guration

and altitude.

Closing the air shutter will cause a more yellow ﬂ ame, but can lead

to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a more blue ﬂ ame,

but can cause ﬂ ame lifting from the burner ports. The ﬂ ame may not

appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the ﬁ nal ﬂ ame

colour to be established.

Air shutter adjustment must only be done by a qualiﬁ ed

installer!

The alternate access is to remove the glass, glass ember tray and

burner from the ﬁ replace and then adjust the air shutter.

The front of the ﬁ replace becomes very hot during operation.

Let the ﬁ replace cool completely before conducting service.

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 can be in cup surrounding

the oriﬁ ce. HINT: If glass falls into cup and surrounds the oriﬁ ce, insert

a clean bag into a vacuum cleaner and vacuum out glass embers or

replacement glass embers can be ordered from Wolf Steel Ltd.

Pilot will not light.

erify the "S" wire for the sensor and the "I" wire for the ignitor are connected

to the correct terminals (not reverse) on the module and pilot assembly.

Verify no loose connections, electrical shorts in the wiring or ground out to

any metal object.

Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the igniter wire "I"

from the module. Place the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. Hold a

grounded wire about 3/16" away from the "I" terminal on the module. If no

spark the "I" terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark the "I"

terminal is ﬁ ne. Inspect pilot assembly for a shorted wire or cracked insulator

around the electrode.

BGD36CFG TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TROUBLESHOOT, PURGE YOUR UNIT AND INITIALLY LIGHT THE PILOT AND THE MAIN BURNER WITH THE GLASS DOOR REMOVED.

SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION

Pilot will not light.

erify the transformer is installed and plugged into the module. Check volt-

age of the transformer under load at the spade connections on the module

with the ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position. Acceptable readings of a good

transformer are between 3.2 and 2.8 volts A.C.

Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs into the module. Remove

and verify continuity of each wire in wiring harness.

Troubleshoot the system with the simplest ON/OFF switch

Verify the value and pilot assemblies are properly grounded to the metal

chassis of the ﬁ replace or log set.

Turn the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position. Remove the igniter wire "I"

from the module. Place the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. Hold a

grounded wire about 3/16" away from the "I" terminal on the module. If no

spark the "I" terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark the "I"

terminal is ﬁ ne. Inspect pilot assembly for a shorted wire or cracked insulator

around the electrode.

Makes no noise with no

spark at pilot burner

Verify all connections. Verify the connections from the pilot assembly are tight;

also verify these connections are not grounding out to any metal.

Verify the ﬂ ame is engulﬁ ng the sensor rod. This will increase the ﬂ ame

rectiﬁ cation. Verify correct pilot orﬁ ce is installed and inlet gas speciﬁ cations

to manual. (Remember, the ﬂ ame carries the rectiﬁ cation current, not the

gas. If the ﬂ ame lifts from pilot hood, the circuit is broken. A wrong orﬁ ce or

too high of an inlet pressure can cause the pilot ﬂ ame to lift.) The sensor rod

may need cleaning.

Verify that the wire harness is ﬁ rmly connected to module

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

aged, or loose. Verify the connection from the sensor rod to the sensor wire.

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.

Continues to sparks

and pilot lights, but

main burner will not

light

Verify that the incoming gas line ball valve is "Open". Verify that the inlet

pressure reading is within acceptable limits, inlet pressures must not exceed

14" W.C.

Inspect all wires, ensure good tight connections. Verify that all wiring is

installed exactly as speciﬁ ed.

SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION

- Wiring harness

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.

- Module or Valve

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).

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

Exhaust fumes smelled in

room, headaches.

Check all seals.

- Fireplace is spilling.

Carbon is being deposited

on glass, logs or combus-

tion chamber surfaces.

- Flame is impinging on the

logs or combustion chamber.

Check that the logs are correctly positioned.

Open air shutter to increase the primary air.

Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and oriﬁ ce

size as speciﬁ ed 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.

- Air shutter has become blocked

Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other obstructions.
