WARNING

!

• Wear gloves, protective footwear and safety glasses for protection.

• Carefully follow the instructions for assembly of the pipe and other parts needed to install the appliance.
Failure to do so may result in a fi re, especially if combustibles are too close to the appliance or chimney and air
spacers are blocked, preventing the free movement of cooling air.

• Do not draw outside air from garage spaces. Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous. Do not
install outside air ducts such that the air may be drawn from attic spaces, basements or above the roofi ng
where other heating appliances or fans and chimneys exhaust or utilize air. These precautions will reduce the
possibility of appliance smoking or air fl ow reversal. The outside air inlet must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice
and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while appliance is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause
smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fi re. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.

• Negative pressure within your home may inadvertently affect your appliance.

• To prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation, the appliance must not be installed against vapour barriers
or exposed insulation. Localized overheating could occur and a fi re could result.

• Do not use makeshift compromises during installation. Do not block or restrict air, grille or louvre openings. Do
not add a hood.

• To prevent personal injury, keep hand tools in good condition, sharpen cutting edges and make sure tool
handles are secure.

• Always maintain the minimum air space required in the enclosure to prevent fi res.

• Check with local building offi cials for any permits required for installation of this appliance and notify your
insurance company prior to proceeding.

!

WARNING

• Do not install into any area having a height less than 7 feet (2.1m) (ceiling of enclosure to appliance
bottom, excluding hearth height).

The appliance is shipped with a set-up face that is 1/8" (3.2mm) larger on the top,
bottom and each side than the faceplate. Leave the set-up face in place to act as a
template when installing the fi nishing face.

important:

This appliance, fully dressed, weighs 850lbs (386kg). Ensure there is
adequate fl oor support for the appliance, chimney, and facing material.
Some material could weigh thousands of pounds.

4.1 location and clearances

We recommend that the appliance be secured to the fl oor in
all cases.

Using the door opening as a datum, level the appliance by
shimming underneath the appliance. Remove and discard the
lifting handles. Bend the tabs down and secure the appliance to
the fl oor.

10

W415-1501 / E / 12.17.18

4.2 ventilation openings

note:

In order to avoid fi re hazards and/or injuries, the appliance enclosure must be provided with suffi cient air
circulation.

Install ventilation grilles (minimum openings of 40 sq. inches (0.03 sq. meters)) at both fl oor and ceiling levels of the
enclosure. These grilles must not restrict the fl ow of heat by more than 25%. Do not install into any area having
a height less than 7 ft (2m) (ceiling of enclosure to appliance bottom, excluding hearth height). The location of
windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room where the stove is to be located should be considered. If possible,
you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting a fl oor or roof joist.

For more information on ventillation grilles and openings, see "when using a solid pack chimney" section.

4.3 outside combustion air

note:

Incorporate a vertical loop or trap into air liners to reduce air fl ow when appliance is not in use.

Insulating the intake liners is recommended in colder
climates to prevent condensation from occurring.

The Napoleon Model NZ6000-1 takes outside air
directly into the appliance through the openings in the
left and right hand sides.

installation planning

10' (3m) MIN. TO

CHIMNEY CAP.

EN

Decide on the most convenient location for the fresh air
inlet ducts and hoods which may be installed above or
below fl oor level.

The fresh air inlet ducts and hoods must be installed.
Secure and seal the intake liners to the collars using 3
sheet metal screws, and high temperature sealant.

Vertical rise is between:

6' (1.8m) & 10' (3m) max
3' (0.9m) & 6' (1.8m)
1' (0.3m) & 3' (0.9m)
0' (0m) & 1' (0.3m)

Horizontal run may be:

5' (1.5m)
15' (4.6m)
20' (6.1m)
25' (7.6m)

Included with the appliance are:

- Two 10' (3m) lengths of vent. Use a connector
and seal if adding more length.

- Two of intake hoods.

The vertical height of the air intake liner must not be greater than
2/3 the height of the chimney. If additional liner length is required, it may

be doubled by increasing the size from 6" (152mm) diameter to 8" (203mm)
diameter. Use a 6" (152mm) to 8" (203mm) increaser at the hood and a
decreaser at the appliance. Values in brackets represent 8" (203mm) diameter
intake liners.

The duct terminations must be located so they can not be blocked (i.e.
snowdrifts). 4' (1.2m) above grade is recommended. Make a 6 ½" (165mm)
inch hole to suit in an outside wall of the house. From outside, place the fresh
air hood into the hole, open side down. Seal with caulking and secure.

4.4 fl oor protection

4.4.1 ember strip and hearth extensions

!

WARNING

• Hearth extensions are to be installed only as described to prevent high temperatures from occurring on
concealed combustible materials. Hearth ember strips prevent burning or hot particles from inadvertently falling
directly on combustible surfaces in the event the building should settle and disturb the original construction.

An acceptable 61 ½" (156.2cm) x 20" (50.8cm) non-combustible (ie:
brick, stone or ceramic tile) hearth extension must be installed. Hearth
must extend 20" (50.8cm) in front of the faceplate when it is not elevated
(see local building codes). Hearth must extend a minimum of 6" (152mm) to
both sides of the appliance [61 ½" (156.2cm)].

The hearth must extend a minimum 20" (50.8cm) in front of the appliance
although if raised a minimum of 6 1/2" (165mm), the 20" (50.8cm) may be
reduced to a minimum of 18" (45.7cm).

The hearth must extend a minimum of 6" (152mm) to both sides of the
appliance [61 ½" (156.2cm)]

The hearth must be a minimum of 1" (25mm) thick cement board (or
equivalent) plus ¼" (6.4mm) ceramic tile.

Ensure that the gap between the appliance and a non-combustible
hearth extension is sealed with sand/cement grout or covered with
an ember strip (or both) to prevent sparks and embers from falling
into this area.

Raised hearths must be constructed of non-combustible materials such as cement blocks or bricks.

While the appliance can be installed directly on the fl oor, a non-combustible hearth extension is required in front
of the appliance, that must not be built higher than the bottom of the appliance faceplate. It may therefore be
advisable to build the appliance on a raised platform.

A raised hearth together with the appliance built on a raised platform is recommended for easier wood loading and fi re
viewing.

WARNING

• Never install a single wall slip section or smoke pipe in a chase structure. The higher temperature of this single
wall pipe may radiate suffi cient heat to combustible chase materials to cause a fi re.

• To avoid danger of fi re, all instructions must be strictly followed, incluidng the provision of air space clearance
between chimney system and enclosure. To protect against the effects of erosion on those parts exposed to
the weather, we recommend that the chase top be painted with a rust-resistant paint.

• Maintain a minimum 2" (51mm) air clearance to all parts of the chimney system at all times. Failure to maintain
this 2" (51mm) air clearance will cause a structure fi re.

• Detailed instructions for installation of the chase top, storm collar, and termination cap are packaged with these
parts.

• Firestop spacers must be used whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/fl oor area.

• The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Clean your chimney a minimum of twice a year, and as
required.

A raised hearth, together with the appliance built on a raised platform, is recommended for easier wood loading
and fi re viewing.

5.4 offset chimney installation

WARNING

!

• Chimney sections installed between an offset and return require structural support to reduce off-center
loading and to prevent chimney sections from separating at the chimney joists.

• The chimney should not be built with an offset angle in excess of 45° in Canada and 30° in USA. Do not
combine offset chimney components to exceed these angles.

The first flue offset closest to the top of the
appliance must be a minimum distance of
12" (30.5cm) from the top of the appliance.

Attach an elbow to the chimney section, angled
toward the offset. Secure according to chimney
manufacturer’s instructions. Chimney sections must
be adequately secured one to the other to ensure
they do not separate. To achieve the minimum
offset, attach and secure a second elbow. To
achieve longer offsets, you may install any available
length of chimney pipe between the elbows.
Supports must be used on the first vertical chimney
section after a return elbow.

5.5 installing fl ashing and storm collar

The following are generic installation instructions for installing the flashing around a chimney. Installation of all
types of factory-built chimney systems is to be in accordance with the chimney manufacturer’s installation
instructions. Remove the nails from the shingles above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over
the chimney pipe and slide underneath the sides and upper edge
of the shingles. Ensure that the chimney pipe is properly
centered within the flashing, giving a 3/4” (19.1mm) margin all
around. Fasten to the roof on the top and sides. DO NOT NAIL
through the lower portion of the flashing. Make weather-tight by
sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top
edges of the flashing with roofing material. Apply waterproof
caulking, provided with the flashing, around the chimney, 1”
(25.4mm) above the top of the flashing and push the storm collar
down into the caulking. Insert a rain cap onto the top of the last
chimney section.

5.6 connection to a masonry chimney

The appliance may be connect­ed to either a lined or unlined
masonry chimney.

IF THE CHIMNEY IS LINED:

The fl ues must be made of
vitrifi ed clay and be in sizes
of 8” (203.2mm) square or
8” (203.2mm) round (inside

WARNING

• In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the appliance
body, it is recommended that the walls of the appliance enclosure be "fi nished" (i.e. drywall/sheetrock), as you
would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained
within the cavity.

• A minimum of 6" (152mm) to combustible materials is required to both sides of the appliance (see "minimum
clearance to combustibles" section).

• Do not pack required air spaces with insulation or other materials.

• Do not build shelves or cupboards into the area above the appliance.

• Objects placed in front of the appliance must be kept a minimum of 48" (121.9cm) away from the front face of
the appliance.

7.8 fi rebrick and baffl e installation

!

WARNING

• Operation of the appliance without the baffl es can result in excessive temperatures that could damage the
appliance, chimney, and the surrounding enclosure.

The by-pass damper should be in the "OPEN" position when using the spark screen, during start-up, when load­ing fuel and in warmer months where less heat is preferred.

The by-pass damper should be in the "CLOSED" position when the doors are closed and proper chimney draw is
established.

Place the by-pass damper
on the supports at the rear
and sides of the firebox.

Place the side and rear firebricks against the wall.

For easy start up open the by-pass damper.
