      If your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace is over-fired or underfired, check the pressure readings: Inlet pressure can be checked by turning screw (A) counter-clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then placing pressure gauge tubing over the test point. Check that the main burner is operating on "HI". After taking pressure readings, be sure to turn screws clockwise firmly to reseal. Do not overtorque.

    What to do if pilot light is burning but no gas to main burner in my Napoleon BGD48N?

      If the pilot light is burning, but there's no gas going to the main burner on your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace, and the gas knob and wall switch/thermostat are on, here's what you can check: First, the thermopile connection to the valve may have shorted; clean the thermopile connection to the valve and reconnect it. The remote wall switch wire might be too long, causing too much resistance; shorten the wire to the correct length or wire gauge. As a last resort, replace the thermopile/valve.
