2.3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

EN

!

WARNING

ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH

LOCAL CODES. IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, USE THE CURRENT CSA22.1 CANADIAN

ELECTRIC CODE IN CANADA OR THE CURRENT NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 IN

THE UNITED STATES.

THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH ANY VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO

REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR PREVENT INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL A VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG

SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.

BURNING YOUR UNIT WITH THE ASH DUMP DOOR OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT

MAY RESULT IN DISCOLOURATION TO THE GOLD PLATED DOOR, INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE

APPLIANCE OR A HOUSE CHIMNEY FIRE.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

THIS APPLIANCE AND IT’S COMPONENTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED AND OPERATED AS A

SYSTEM. ANY ALTERATION TO OR SUBSTITUTION FOR ITEMS IN THIS SYSTEM, UNLESS ALLOWED

BY THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, WILL VOID THE LISTING AND MAY VOID THE PRODUCT

WARRANTY. IT MAY ALSO CREATE A HAZARDOUS INSTALLATION. READ THROUGH THESE

INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION AND FOLLOW THEM

CAREFULLY THROUGHOUT YOUR PROJECT.

4.7

• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.

• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.

• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will
become soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on
your appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.

• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.

• For the fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and
fi rebricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance
and it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS

DO NOT OVER FIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE
APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION

We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institue® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).

Your appliance was specifi cally designed to meet the July 1990 particulate emission standards and has been
extensively tested in Canadian and US laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple and trouble free
we know; it works as follows:

Y our appliance uses clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon EPA certifi ed stoves equipped with an heat
circulating blower . External modifi cations have been made to allow its installation as a “functional insert” with a heat
circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fi replace cavity for greater heating effi ciency.

Y our appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fi replace that is at least 18” (457.2mm) deep, 27”
(685.8mm) wide and 22” (558.8mm)high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of
18” (457.2mm) for Canada and 16” (406.4mm) for USA. This minimum recess can only be achieved if the opening
height is suffi cient enough to allow the connector to fi t under the noncombustible facing. The appliance and chimney
must be constructed in accordance with all national and local
building code standards.

EN

AIR INLET PATH

The chimney vent system used on your wood burning

EXHAUST PATH

appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow
through it. Chimney vent systems that are too short or too long
can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through
it. The wood burning appliance and chimney vent system also
require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support
the combustion in the combustion chamber but to replace
the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely up through the vent
system and out into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance
of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure
the appliance provides you with its optimum performance.

Secondary air from the side intake openings travels up to the
secondary air housing to the manifold located across the top
and fl ows out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke
exit.

The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
refractory fi rebricks on the sides, back and bottom with a fi bre
baffl e on top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion
chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the
secondary air manifold tubes are easily ignited and burned.

Be sure to provide suffi cient 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.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance

may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning off. Open a
window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

2.5 E.P.A. COMPLIANCE

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:

Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a
door, a window or otherwise provide some method of supplying
combustion air to the appliance.

CONVERTING MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS TO R OR K VALUES

R = Thickness / K-Value
K = Thickness / R-Value

COMMON K and R VALUES CHART

MATERIAL K-VALUE R-VALUE

Per inch Per inch
Micore 300 0.43 2.33
Wonderboard (cement board) 1.92 0.52
Common Brick 5.00 0.20

With K values, the lower value is a better insulator. With R values, the higher number is better.

K-Value Example:

A wood stove may call for thermal protection which has a K factor of 1 or less. A product
such as Micore 300 Board from USG has a K-Value of approximately .43 per inch.
Therefore, a 1/2” (12.7mm) thickness of this board would have a K-Value of .86, which
meets the requirement of our example stove.

R-Value Example:

This fi replace calls for thermal protection with an R-Value of 0.59. This same board
above is rated as having an R-Value of 2.33 for a 1” (25.4mm) thickness. Therefore,
1/2” (12.7mm) of the Micore 300 Board would have a R-value of 1.165, which meets

It is extremely important that your appliance be installed according to the manufacturer's specifi cations. The
manufacturer's installation instructions and specifi ed clearances should always be followed in accordance with
local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed.
In the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.

Chimney and liner must be in good condition and kept clean.

4.1 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY

You can install your appliance using your existing masonry chimney. To do

EN

so, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a masonry chimney, it
is important that it be built in compliance with the specifi cations of the
Building Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fi re clay
bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fi re cement. (Round
fl ues are the most effi cient).

A.Remove the fi replace damper or fasten it permanently open.

* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner.
B.* Measure the throat of the fi replace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge (0.6mm) sheet metal
(fl ue cover); cut a six-inch [6.75” (171.5mm)] hole to lie directly below the fi replace fl ue opening. Allow
two inches (50.8mm) of material for a fl ange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the

fl anges. If you have never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it
fi rst. Fasten this fl ue cover in position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the fl anges into
the fi replace.

C. Permanently seal any opening between the masonry of the fi replace and the facing masonry.
In Canada: This fi replace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6” (152.4mm) diameter extending

from the fi replace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of
CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/
ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow
to the liner and insert onto the fl ue collar. Fasten with three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using
a liner support and chimney fl ashing. Cap the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.

In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is continuous
from the insert to the top of the chimney , particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this type of
connection, use the “In Canada” installation instructions above.
If a continuous liner is not installed, a “direct fl ue connection” must be made. The direct fl ue connection requires a
non-combustible connector that extends from the insert into the chimney fl ue liner and also that the installed fl ue cover
be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion products in the chimney fl ue with
air from inside the house. This room heater must be connected to a code-approved masonry chimney with a fl ue liner.
Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory built
fi replaces.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

4.2 INSTALLING THE EPI3

13

A. Flue collar orientation

Prior to installation, if possible, determine the type of orientation that works best with your appliance.
The orientation of the fl ue collar can be in a vertical position, or you may also choose to allow for a 30 degree

backwards angle by rotating the fl ue collar 180 degrees, at the top of the appliance.
When deciding on the cleaning method for your chimney we recommend cleaning from the top, chimney

cap, downwards. This way the centre bar of the fl ue collar protects the baffl e inside the appliance from any
damages the chimney brush may cause. However, if cleaning must be done from inside the home, cutting the
centre bar inside the fl ue collar can be done using a reciprocating metal cutting saw or hack saw.

B. Installing a venting system

We recommend that the installation of the connector or fl ue liner be completed prior to continuing, however
this may differ depending on your application. See Figure 1 for venting system components.

1. Remove the front air tube to gain access to the fi ber baffl e, and then also remove the fi ber baffl e.

2. Remove the iron fl ue collar from the appliance. Ensure gasket is in place, and in good condition.

3. Drill three holes into the adapter pipe or fl ue liner using the holes in the iron collar as a guide. Secure
the adapter pipe, or fl ue liner to the fl ue collar. Take care to ensure the studs on the fl ue collar are
properly aligned to their respective holes on the insert.

4. Using the previously outlined method secure the fl exible pipe to the pipe adaptor.

5. The fi nished height measurements from the hearth surface to the center bar of the fl ue collar should
be 19” (482.6mm), see Figure 2 for details on the installation of the connector pipe or liner. This
allows for an easy connection, once the appliance is in place.

4.3 FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE

EN

The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory
built fi replaces.

A. The factory built fi replace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.
B. Clearances to any combustible material surrounding this insert as identifi ed must be followed. These

clearance requirements supersede any pre-existing facing material clearances listed for the factory
built fi replace.

C. Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting HT requirements (2100°F/1149°C)

as required in UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely attached to the insert
fl ue collar and the chimney top.

D. Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fi replace. This may

be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the appliance front.

E. The air fl ow within and around the appliance shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e.

no louvres or cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifi cally tested as such for each
factory built fi replace manufacturer and model line. NOTE: Using a louvered face plate (surround)

complies with this requirement.

F. Alteration of the appliance in any manner is not permitted with the following exceptions;

A. External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the appliance may be removed providing

they can be stored on or within the fi replace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

B. The chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.

G. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fi replace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
H. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney fl ue.
I. Inserts that project in front of the fi replace must be supplied with appropriate support means.
J. A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of the fi replace stating that the fi replace

must be restored to its original condition for safe use without the insert.

FIRE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLATCHED AS UNSTABLE WOOD COULD FALL OUT OF

THE FIRE CHAMBER CREATING A FIRE HAZARD TO YOUR HOME.

NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHEN THERE IS A FIRE BURNING IN THE APPLIANCE.

NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER

FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE IN THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL

SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN USE.

OBJECTS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE KEPT A MINIMUM OF 48”

(1219.2MM) FROM THE FRONT FACE.

ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE

TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED BREACHING CSA B365 (CANADA) AND ANSI NFPA 211

(USA).

OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.

HOT WHILE IN OPERATION, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY

CAUSE SKIN BURNS. WEAR GLOVES TO OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE.

BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT

MAY RESULT IN A HOUSE AND OR CHIMNEY FIRE.

Y our Napoleon EPA listed product is designed with the most advanced technology. The appliance is extremely airtight.
The fi rst fi re(s) in your appliance will be diffi cult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being generated.

This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fi re brick. Allow 30 to 40 hours of hot fi res (temperatures in
excess of 500°F / 932°C - 600°F / 1 12°C) before your appliance will perform normally. During the break-in period (the
fi rst 2 or 3 fi res) create only small, hot fi res using kindling; this will allow the fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small
hairline cracks develop in the fi rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may
also smell a little for the fi rst few fi res as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.

To start, a brisk fi re is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the fl oor of the appliance and cover with dry kindling.
Open the air control fully by sliding control all the way to the right. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (not
more than one inch (25.4mm)) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fi re, a hot coal bed must be established
and sustained.

Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a
shallow trench between, so that the primary air can fl ow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the fi re
seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fi re, carefully close the door.
(Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the fi rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.)
Remember it is more effi cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the appliance with
large logs that result in a smoldering, ineffi cient fi re and dirty glass.

As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the fl ame pattern. The fl ames will get smaller and lazier
because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The fl ames, however , are more effi cient. The fl ames will
remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the fi rebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes
heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fi re that you see when the door is opened is wastefully
drawing heated room air up the chimney , certainly not desirable. Always operate with the door fully closed once the
medium sized logs have caught fi re. Operating the appliance with the door open for extended periods of time may
result in damages to the appliance.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,

A

it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fi rebox
and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top baffl es. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to the top
of the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance surface temperatures between 500°F (260°C) and
600°F (315°C).

Without an appliance thermometer, you are working blind and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance.

Can’t get the fi re going? Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly
and there is suffi cient combustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem.
Thumb size is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.

Can’t get heat out of the appliance? One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have
been closed prematurely and the appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/
or draft control to re-establish a brisk fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is
sizzling wood and moisture being driven from the wood.

6.1 AIR CONTROL

Draft is the force which moves air from the fi rebox up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length and diameter of chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other
factors. Adjusting the air control all the way to the right reduces the
temperature. The draft can be adjusted from low to high by moving the
handle from right to left. Inadequate draft may cause back-puffi ng into
the room through the appliance and chimney connector points and may
cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may cause an excessive
temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or chimney
connectors or an uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney fi re or
permanent damage to the appliance. Do not operate your appliance for
longer than 30 minutes with the air control on “HIGH” (fully open).

19

EN

AIR CONTROL

6.2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS

ll homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fi re extinguisher in a central location,
known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm,
correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.

91.1

6.3 FUEL

!

WARNING

DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED

FOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.

BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN

IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

For maximum effi ciency, when the appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and
burn at a medium low setting. Maximum heat for minimum fuel (optimum burn) occurs when the appliance top
temperature is between 500°F (260°C) and 600°F (315°C). The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass
mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating
effi ciency. Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not
burn completely . A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fi re.

NOTE: When loading the appliance, keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate on the front
lip, there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

20

Loosely stacked wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load. Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady
output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household routine so that only enough coals are left to

EN

start the next load. In the evening, load your appliance, at least, a half-hour before bed to ensure a good fi re, hot
enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.

Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood.
Its salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage.
Use a pair of long gloves (barbecue gloves) when feeding the fi re. Because these appliances burn at the front,
they are clean and effi cient, but they are also very hot and gloves are useful. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to
use as a poker and to remove ashes. Do not store the wood within 3 feet (1m) of the appliance.

6.4 LIGHTING A FIRE

NOTE: During initial start-up the appliance may smoke, this is more likely to occur when there is poor draft. To
prevent the appliance from smoking slightly open the door, approximately 1 - 2 inches (25.4mm - 50.8mm).

6.4.1 FLASH FIRE

A fl ash fi re is a small fi re burned quickly when you don't need much
heat. After your kindling has "caught", load at least 3 pieces of wood,
stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed only
slightly.

93.1

6.4.2 EXTENDED FIRE

Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to prevent the fl ames from penetrating
it completely. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft control
completely making sure that the fi re is not extinguished.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!

Overfi ring can occur by:
A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood;

B. Vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open) for long periods of

time (one or two hours).

C. Operating the appliance with the ash dump door blocked open or a poor gasket seal on the main door.

82.1

6.5 SMOKING

A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:

• Has the chimney had time to get hot?

• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?

• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.

• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?

• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of a
chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?

RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.

USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH

THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES (BLOWERS, DOORS, LOUVRES,

TRIMS, ETC.) COULD RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND

CERTIFICATION.

ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER’S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE

APPLIANCE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER

CORD BENEATH THE APPLIANCE.

Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings, causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to
prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from
this condition is not covered by the warranty policy. Use of the blower increases the output of heat.

Keep the blower opening free from ash build-up.
This appliance is equipped with a micro (pressure) switch, the micro switch shuts off the blower when the

door is open. This helps to reduce smoke from being blown into the room, and a thermally activated switch.
The blower will only operate when the door is closed and the thermally activated switch reaches temperature
(approximately 15-30 minutes depending on the intensity of the fi re.

A. Open the door and adjust the variable speed switch to desired speed. (It is necessary to depress the
micro switch when making this adjustment.

NOTE: For highest effi ciency, do not operate the blower when the air control is set to its lowest setting.
Furthermore, operate the blower on a slower speed when the air control is not more than 3/8” (9.5mm)
open from its lowest setting, and operate on any speed when air control is on any other setting.
When the appliance is cool, vacuum ash out from the blower area, for improved performance and an
increased longevity.

7.0 MAINTENANCE

EN

TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly until a safe frequency for
cleaning is established.

If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and the appliance. You
may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to be cleaned at least once a year or
as often as necessary.

Remove the baffl e and clean above it once a year. Replace any broken bricks.

7.1 ASH REMOVAL PROCEDURES

!

WARNING

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

!

WARNING

IMPROPER DISPOSAL OF ASHES RESULT IN FIRES. DO NOT DISCARD ASHES IN CARDBOARD

BOXES, DUMP IN BACK YARDS, OR STORE IN GARAGES.

IF USING A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP ASHES, BE SURE THE ASHES ARE ENTIRELY COOLED. USING

A VACUUM TO CLEAN UP WARM ASHES COULD CAUSE A FIRE INSIDE THE VACUUM.

Allow the ashes in your fi rebox to accumulate to a depth of two or three inches (50.8 - 76.2mm); they tend to
burn themselves up. When the fi re has burned down and cooled, remove any excess ashes but leave an ash
bed approximately 1” (25.4mm) deep on the fi rebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.

NOTE: Keep ash depth to a minimum to prevent hot embers from overfl owing.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fi tting lid. The closed

container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

7.2 CREOSOTE FORMATION AND REMOVAL

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cooler chimney fl ue of a slow-burning fi re. As
a result, creosote residue accumulates on the fl ue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an extremely hot
fi re.

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating
season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.

If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fi re.

7.3 RUNAWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE

A CHIMNEY FIRE CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR CHIMNEY SYSTEM. THIS DAMAGE CAN

ONLY BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE DAMAGED COMPONENT PARTS. CHIMNEY FIRES ARE

NOT COVERED BY THE LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY.

CAUSES:

• Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which would normally be used as kindling.

• Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme temperatures as the air rushes in the open door.

• Improperly installed or worn gaskets.

• Creosote build up in chimney.

SOLUTIONS:

• Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper or cardboard.

• Be careful not to overfi re the appliance by leaving the door open too long after the initial start-up. A
thermometer on the chimney connector and/or appliance top helps.

23

EN

• Replace worn, dried out (infl exible) gaskets.

• Have chimney regularly cleaned.

IN CASE OF A CHIMNEY FIRE:

• Have a well understood plan for evacuation and a place outside for everyone to meet. Prepare to
evacuate to ensure everyone’s safety.

• Close air control on appliance.

• Call local fi re department. Have a fi re extinguisher handy. Contact local authorities for further informa-
tion on how to handle a chimney fi re.

• After the chimney fi re is out, clean and inspect the chimney or chimney liner for stress and cracks prior
to lighting another fi re. Also check combustibles around the chimney and the roof.

Both the chimney and the appliance must be inspected and cleaned if necessary at least once a year.

EN

7.5 DOOR REMOVAL

For serious wood burners, chimney cleaning must be done as needed to avoid chimney fi res; the venting
systems for controlled combustion appliances may need cleaning as often as once a month. These rates,
however, depend on the burning habits of the individual operating the appliance. For example, it is possible to
clog a solid fuel appliance chimney in a few days if slow, smoldering fi res are burned and the chimney is cold.

NOTE: Appliances burned consistently without hot fi res may result in signifi cant creosote
accumulations in the chimney.

Certain items and considerations are important in chimney cleaning:

• Proper tools should be used, including a brush specifi cally designed for chimney cleaning.

• The chimney connector and dampers as well as the chimney should be cleaned.

• The appliance’s fi rebox and baffl e system should be cleaned if needed.

• The chimney should be inspected and repairs made if needed, preferably by a qualifi ed chimney
sweep or mason.

W415-1087 / A / 06.06.13

7.8 CARE OF GLASS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or
blemishes may result. Normally a hot fi re will clean the glass.
The most common reasons for dirty glass include: not using
suffi cient fuel to get the appliance thoroughly hot, using green
or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is insuffi cient air
for complete combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry
cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT! Clean the glass after the fi rst 10 hours of operation with a
recommended appliance glass cleaner. Thereafter clean as required.

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 or break while the fi re is burning, do not open the door until the fi re is out and do
not operate the appliance again until the glass has been replaced, available from your Authorized dealer. DO

NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

7.9 CARE OF PLATED PARTS

!

WARNING

HOT GLASS WILL

CAUSE BURNS.

DO NOT TOUCH GLASS

EN

If the appliance is equipped with plated parts, you must clean fi ngerprints or other marks from the plated
surfaces before operating the appliance for the fi rst time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to clean.
If not cleaned properly before operating for the fi rst time, the marks can cause permanent blemishes on
the plating. After the plating is cured, the fi ngerprints and oils will not affect the fi nish and little maintenance
is required, just wipe clean as needed. Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause
discolouration on plated parts.

NOTE: The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room
temperature but this can be improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat
source.

7.11 WOOD

THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN TREATED

WOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLOURED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR GARBAGE. THIS

APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE

OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.

HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS GENERALLY RESULT WHEN BURNING AIR DRIED

SEASONED HARDWOODS, AS COMPARED TO SOFTWOODS OR TOO GREEN OR FRESHLY CUT

HARDWOODS.

BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN

IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED

FOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.

When loading the appliance, ensure that the upper fi bre baffl es are not forced out of position. For maximum effi ciency, when the
appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at a medium low setting. The whiteness of the
bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating effi ciency. Not enough heat is produced when only a
few pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely .

Fuel for the appliance must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive material).NEVER

STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT (if applicable).
NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate on the front lip,

there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.

Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been seasoned. It produces more
heat and less soot or creosote. Freshly cut wood contains about 50% moisture
while after proper seasoning only about 20% of the
water remains. As wood is burned, this water boils
off consuming energy that should be used in heating.
The wetter the wood, the less heat is given off and
the more creosote is produced. Dry fi rewood has
cracks in the end of the grain.

Both hardwood and softwood burn equally well in this
appliance but hardwood is denser, will weigh more
per cord and burn a little slower and longer.

Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts of it and covered in early spring to be ready for
burning that fall. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end grain.

Cut the wood so that it will fi t horizontally, front to back, making for easier loading and less of a likelihood that the wood will roll
onto the glass.

Manufactured fi relogs made by compressing 100% natural wood fi bre can be safely used as fuel. Do not use manufactured
fi relogs if they contain additives such as paraffi n, wax, binders etc. Never burn more than two manufactured fi relogs at a time.

DO’S

• Build a hot fi re.

• Use only dry wood.

• Several pieces of medium sized wood are better
than a few big pieces.

• Clean chimney regularly.

• Refuel frequently using medium sized wood.

• “Fine Tune” the air settings for optimum
performance.

DONT’S

• Take ash out immediately. Let it accumulate to a
depth of at least one inch. A good ash layer provides
for a longer lasting and better burning fi re.

• Burn wet wood.

• Close the door too soon or damper down too quickly.

• Burn one large log rather than two or three smaller,
more reasonably sized logs.

• Burn at continually “low setting”, if glass door is
constantly blackened. This means the fi rebox
temperature is too low.

Certifi cate.

NAPOLEON® products are designed with superior components and materials, assembled by trained craftsmen who take great

pride in their work. The complete appliance is again thoroughly inspected by a qualifi ed technician before packaging to ensure

that you, the customer, receives the quality product that you expect from NAPOLEON®.

NAPOLEON® WOOD APPLIANCE PRESIDENT’S LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY

The following materials and workmanship in your new NAPOLEON® wood appliance are warranted against defects for as long as
you own the appliance. This covers: combustion chamber, heat exchanger, ceramic glass (thermal breakage only), gold plated parts

Electrical (110V) components and wearable parts such as blowers, thermal switch, switches, wiring, fi rebrick, stainless steel baffl e
retainer, secondary air tubes, and gasketing are covered and NAPOLEON® will provide replacement parts free of charge during the
fi rst year of the limited warranty. *

Labour related to warranty repair is covered free of charge during the fi rst year. Repair work, however, requires the prior approval of
an authorized company offi cial. Labour costs to the account of NAPOLEON® are based on a predetermined rate schedule and any
repair work must be done through an authorized NAPOLEON® dealer.
Parts such as fi rebricks and baffl es should routinely be removed by the operator as part of the regular service and therefore, any
warranty replacement of these parts does not qualify for any labour allowances.
* Construction of models vary. Warranty applies only to components included with your specifi c appliance.

CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS

chipping on porcelain enamel parts, nor any venting components used in the installation of the appliance.
This warranty extends to the repair or replacement of warranted parts which are defective in material or workmanship provided that the product has been
operated in accordance with the operation instructions and under normal conditions.
After the fi rst year, with respect to the President’s Lifetime Limited Warranty, NAPOLEON® may, at its discretion, fully discharge all obligations with respect
to this warranty by refunding to the original warranted purchaser the wholesale price of any warranted but defective part(s).
After the fi rst year, NAPOLEON® will not be responsible for installation, labour or any other costs or expenses related to the reinstallation of a warranted
part, and such expenses are not covered by this warranty.
Notwithstanding any provisions contained in the President’s Lifetime Limited Warranty, NAPOLEON’s responsibility under this warranty is defi ned as
above and it shall not in any event extend to any incidental, consequential or indirect damages.
This warranty defi nes the obligations and liability of NAPOLEON® with respect to the NAPOLEON® wood appliance and any other warranties expressed
or implied with respect to this product, its components or accessories are excluded.

hills, mountains, inadequate vents or ventilation, excessive venting confi gurations, insuffi cient makeup air, or negative air pressures which may or may not
be caused by mechanical systems such as exhaust fans, furnaces, clothes dryers, etc.
Any damages to appliance, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, plated trim or other component due to water, weather damage, long periods of
dampness, condensation, damaging chemicals or cleaners will not be the responsibility of NAPOLEON®.

authorization will be refused and returned to sender.
