3.8 eFIRE Controller application

Napoleon’s eFIRE application will revolutionize the way you use your fireplace! We have cracked the code and
present to you the first fireplace to be controlled by Bluetooth™ technology, using an intuitive app on your mobile
device.

When fully equipped (if applicable), the eFIRE application allows you to select from a multitude of colours to suit
your mood or décor simply by scrolling through the colour wheel. Additionally, Napoleon’s eFIRE application allows
you to control many other functions of your fireplace, including on/off, flame height, light feature, blower, and a
timer to create a schedule for your fireplace that works for you.

Using the instructions on the eFIRE Controller application website http://napoleonfireplaces.com/efire, install
the application and enjoy the features the eFIRE Controller application has to offer. *

* Visit the website or contact your authorized dealer for appliance-specific information and/or frequently asked
questions regarding features and products available with the eFIRE Controller application.

note:

The remote control is considered the master control for the appliance and can always be used to turn the
appliance off (ex. the eFIRE Controller application user, in control of the appliance, leaves the home).

3.9 low battery

The life span of the remote batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries,
the number of ignitions, etc.

76

When the transmitter batteries are low, a battery icon will appear on the LCD display
before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced, this icon will disappear.

When the receiver batteries are low, no “beep” will be emitted from the receiver when
it receives an on/off command. This in an alert for the receiver that there’s low battery.
When the batteries are replaced the “beep” will be emitted from the receiver when the on/off key is pressed.

If the batteries of the receiver or transmitter are low, the appliance can be turned on manually by sliding the
three position slider switch on the receiver to the on position. This will bypass the remote control feature and the
appliance main burner will come on if the gas valve is in the on position.

3.10 battery holder / backup installation

A. The battery holder is located in the valve compartment,

accessible for programming the remote.

B. Install 4 AA batteries, Ensure that the positive and negative
ends correspond with those identified in the battery holder.

C. In the case of a power outage, the 3 position slider switch
needs to be in the “ON” position (left).

4.0 clearances around appliance

WARNING

!

• Your appliance, gas/electrical connections, venting and various key components are hidden behind the wall. It is
critical that no screws penetrate these components. Failure to follow instructions may cause improper operation,
damage, personal injury or fi re. Always use a stud fi nder and only screw into studs.

Without making adequate provisions to account for the heat, the temperatures above the appliance will be hot,
making it unsuitable for mounting a TV or other objects sensitive to heat without risk of damage.

Installing a mantel between this appliance and electronics or other materials that may be sensitive to heat will
reduce the effect of direct heat on them.

The size and material of the mantel will affect the allowable clearance above your appliance and incorrect
placement could become a fi re hazard. Consult your installation manual and/or authorized dealer for more
information before mounting a mantel, a shelf or any other object above your appliance.

Your appliance, gas/electrical connections and vent are hidden directly behind the fi nished wall. Great care should
be taken to avoid screwing or nailing into these components. Always use a stud fi nder to determine stud location
and only screw into studs.

Do not screw into the area around the appliance opening as some of your appliance may be hidden behind the
fi nished wall. Refer to your installation manual and/or contact your local dealer for more information.

temperatures (see TV manufacturer’s specifi cations).

• Mantel height and depth must conform to mantel clearance requirements specifi ed in this manual, see
“minimum clearance to combustible mantel” section in installation manual.

• Dimension “A” the gap between the top of the fi nishing fl ange and the bottom of the TV are taken from the
top of the appliance opening.

• TV temperatures may be further reduced by increasing the horizontal distance between the front of the TV
and the front edge of the mantel or by increasing dimension “A”. However, increasing the gap between the
top of the mantel and the bottom of the TV beyond the maximum recommended fi gure, typically results in
higher temperatures. Minimum clearance between the mantel and bottom of the TV should be maintained to
allow air circulation below and behind the TV.
