      The spark gap should be 0.150” to 0.175” (approximately 5/32” to 11/64”) from the electrode tip and the pilot burner. To ensure proper electrode location, tighten the securing nut (finger tight plus 1/4 turn).

    Why does the pilot light go out while standing, even when the main burner is off on my Napoleon GDI-44P?
    • M
      Michael HernandezSep 4, 2025
      If the pilot goes out while standing and the main burner is in the ‘OFF’ position, connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals. If the main burner lights, replace the switch or thermostat.

    What to do if both the main burner and pilot light go out on my Napoleon GDI-44P?
    • N
      Natalie EvansSep 8, 2025
      The gas valve has an interlock device which will not allow the pilot burner to be lit until the thermocouple has cooled. Allow approximately 60 seconds for the thermocouple to cool before attempting to relight the pilot on your Napoleon Indoor Fireplace.
