INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HI-TECH LISTED FIREPLACE
MODEL NZ25
WARNING: If this fireplace is not properly installed, a house fire may result.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Follow the installation directions. This fireplace can be very hot when burning. Combustible materials such as firewood, wet clothing, etc. placed too close can catch fire. Children and pets must be kept from touching the fireplace when it is hot. The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Before installing this unit, contact the local building or fire authority and follow their guidelines.
Operate only with the door tightly closed. Burn wood behind the log retainer directly on the firebricks. Do not use an elevated grate or otherwise raise the fire. This fireplace is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. Do not start a fire with chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, engine oil, etc. Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper, cardboard, solvents or garbage. Do not let the fireplace become hot enough for any part to glow red.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
FIGURES1
This is the most efficient, simple and trouble free woodburning system we know
of and works as follows:
Primary combustion air enters
through the air control inlet box
regulated by a draft control, travels up the side through a duct and enters the top center of the combustion chamber
into a preheating airwash lo-
cated across the top and then
down the window to feed the
fire and also to ensure that the
glass remains clean.
Secondary air feeds directly into the combustion chamber at hearth level through the log retainer and also through inlets located at the bottom back corner of the combustion chamber. This air travels up the riser to the four secondary air tubes located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases rising to the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high-temperature firebrick on all sides, and across the bottom to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air tubes are easily ignited and burned. Indeed, it is fascinating to watch flames flickering much of the time from the secondary air tubes. The fireplace sides and back permit a zero clearance installation and direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room. Be sure to provide sufficient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such as a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
If the outside air feature is utilized, you will never experience a shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door or window.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the firebox burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use makeshift compromises during installation.
All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manufacturers installation instructions.
Do not block or restrict air, grille or louvre openings!
Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum requirements.
Your Napoleon fireplace must be installed in accordance with all national and local building code standards and the standard of Chimney and Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances NFPA #211. Consult the authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc.) to determine the need to obtain a permit. If you are in doubt about the proper installation for your situation, contact your dealer or local building or fire official. The manufacturer does not guarantee that this fireplace and its options will completely heat your entire home. Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
It is recommended that the fireplace to be secured to the floor. Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish this.

Burning your unit with the ash dump door open or ajar creates a fire hazard that may result in discoloration to the gold plated door, internal damage to the fireplace or a house and/or chimney fire.
WS-415-71 / 09.07.00
CARE OF GLASS AND PLATED PARTS
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result. Normally a hot fire will clean the glass. The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using sufficient fuel to get the stove thoroughly hot, using green or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insufficient air for complete combustion. If it is necessary to clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive cleaner. DO NOT CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN HOT!
The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and always close the door gently. NEVER FORCE IT SHUT! If the glass should ever crack while the fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again until the glass has been replaced with a new 5mm thick piece of ceramic glass, available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. To remove the door, open and lift out; remove the screws and brackets holding the glass in place. Remove all broken glass. Wrap the edges of the new glass with a U-shaped strip of fiberglass gasket, covering 1/4" on each side. Place this gasketed glass in position and replace the brackets and screws. When finished, you should be able to move the glass slightly, horizontally and vertically.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth.
Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause a permanent rainbowing effect on the lower edge of a gold plated door.
HI-EFFICIENCY HEATING
FOUR OPTIONS
For a basic hi-efficiency fireplace, blowers are not needed, however, they are recommended for extra heat output and efficient air circulation. This can be especially important if the fireplace is to be used as a major source of heat. Without the use of blowers, the Napoleon Model NZ25 will operate as a regular hi-efficiency fireplace.
A BLOWER KIT (NZ62) may be purchased with the option of adding up to one additional blower. These blowers are installed in the rear of the unit and are used to direct the heat into the room where the fireplace is located. The blowers are controlled, by a variable speed switch, located inside the fireplace.
A THERMOSTATIC AIR CONTROL (NZ690KT), may
be used for constant heat, complete with automatic damper and thermostat, wall mounted in the room containing the fireplace, and at least 10 feet (minimum) from the fireplace. This option allows your room temperature to be kept as evenly controlled as it would with other fuels while still enjoying the comfort of wood heat.
THE HOT AIR GRAVITY VENT SYSTEM (NZ220)5
may be used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either above, or beside the room containing the fireplace) by way of vents, eliminating the need of an additional blower. While this system may be used in conjunction with the optional blowers, it could reduce the flow of hot air being distributed to additional rooms. It must be experimented with and the dampers adjusted manually to suit your requirements. This may take a few attempts; thereafter adjustments should no longer be required as is normally experienced with your central heating system registers. The hot air vent must be installed in an upward direction! NEVER install in a downward direction.
Figures 4c, 4d & 4e. The hot air gravity vent system is not be connected to a central heating system (for this application use the NZ62CH). No more than two hot air gravity vents can be installed to fireplace. Individual vent runs are not to exceed 10 feet.
All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.
A CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM (NZ62CH) may be
used to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the unit. A wall mounted thermostat located in the room to be heated controls the blower supplying warm air from the room containing the fireplace. If a hot air duct system exists, the central heat blower may safely be tied into this system to reduce the amount of new ducting required. Consult with a heating specialist to ensure a proper duct layout for your home.
