2.4 night light™ installation

The HD81-1 comes equipped with two “Night Lights™”. The lights have been pre-wired and are controlled from
the remote control.

If in the event the lamps or lens need replacing, follow the instructions below:

A. Shut off breaker at main power supply
B. Remove the four screws that secure the lens frame to the firebox sides. This frame retains the glass lens.
C. The lamp can now be accessed.

note:

Do not handle the lamp (bulb) with bare fingers, protect with a clean, dry cloth.

The lamp will pull straight out of the socket. Replace with Wolf Steel parts only, as lamp and lens are special “high
temperature” products. When re-installing, ensure integrity of gasket seal.

THE FIREBOX MUST BE SEALED.

Over tightening the screws could break the lens. “Light Leakage” from the holes in the housing lamp may be
observed. The holes in the lamp housing are necessary for ventilation and must not be covered.

WARNING

2.5 hearth panel installation

Hearth panels are shipped separate from unit and are included with the burner assembly and the logs. Due to the
brittle material of the panels, care must be taken not to bend or force them into place.
When shipped, the hearth panels range in varying shades of Sandstone. During initial use, the panels will darken
temporarily. The appearance of the panels will permanently lighten in color with use.

INSTALL HEARTH PANELS IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

note:

Burner assembly must be installed first.

A. Side brick panels or porcelain panels must be installed prior to

hearth panels. For brick panel and porcelain panel installation
see leaflets supplied with kits.

B. Install the left and right hearth panels on both sides.

2.6 log placement

• Failure to position the logs in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only logs specifi cally approved
with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.

• Logs must be placed in their exact location in the appliance. Do not modify the proper log positions, since
appliance may not function properly and delayed ignition may occur.

• The logs are fragile and should be handled with care.

PHAZERTM logs and glowing embers exclusive to Napoleon, provide a unique and realistic glowing effect that is dif-

ferent in every installation. Take the time to carefully position the glowing embers for a maximum glowing effect. Log
colours may vary. During the initial use of the appliance, the colours will become more uniform as colour pigments
burn in during the heat activated curing process.

note:

Logs C, D , E , F and G are included twice. Install these logs on the opposite side. Logs H and I are only
included once, to give it a different appearance to each side. Install logs H and I on the side that you prefer. If
desired, a second set of H and I logs are available in an upgrade kit (GL81L2) and can be purchased to make

both sides identical.

A. Place the rear left log (W135-0366) onto the

locating stud on the middle log support. Ensure the
hollow underside of the log is over the bend tab.

W415-0713 / E / 05.10.18

B. Slide the rear right log (W135-0367) from right to

left on the middle log support creating a tight fit
between logs A & B. Ensure the hollow underside
of the log is over the bend tab.

Tear the embers into pieces and loosely layer above the burner ports covering the burner area. Care should be
taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges of the fi bre hairs will glow.

The ember material will only glow when exposed to direct fl ame; however, care should be taken to not
block off the burner ports.

Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect fl ame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition.
logs glow when exposed to direct fl ame. Use only certifi ed “glowing embers” and
your local authorized dealer / distributor.
