GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

5

1. Combustion and dilution air is brought into the unit
through the fresh air intake collars located on the top
rear of the unit.

2. The combustion air is brought into the firebox through
many small holes in the airwash located at the top and
sides of the opening.

3. The dilution air is introduced high in the firebox above
the baffle to cool the chimney.

4. A single air control regulates the burn rate.

5. Inside the firebox combustion takes place and ex-

hausts out the chimney.

6. The optional blower can be installed to draw fresh
outside air into the home (not recommended in colder
climates), then either the NZ150-KT kit or the NZ64 blower
can be installed inside and will circulate the air into your
home.

EP A COMPLIANCE

This heater has been certified epa exempt.

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.

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

Burning your unit with door open or ajar creates a
fire hazard that may result in a house and/or chimney
fire.

All venting connections must be in compliance with

the chimney manufacturers installation instructions.
Clearances referred to throughout this manual are

the minimum requirements.
Your Napoleon fireplace must be installed in accord-

ance 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 in all cases, the fireplace
be secured to the floor. Use the pallet packing brack­ets to accomplish this.

CARE OF GLASS, AND PLA TED P ARTS

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 non-abrasive 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.
For information on glass removal and replacement, see
Maintenance.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated parts. Buff lightly
with a clean dry cloth.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

HI-EFFICIENCY HEA TING

A HOT AIR GRAVITY VENT SYSTEM (NZ221) may be

used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either
above, or beside the room containing the fireplace) by way of
vents. Air flow through this vent must be experimented with
and the dampers of the grill 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.

vent system is not to be connected to a central heating
system.

No more than two hot air gravity vents may be connected to
the fireplace. Individual vent runs are not to exceed 10 feet.

All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body , it
is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure
be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any
other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clear­ance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

IMPORTANT

This unit, fully dressed, weighs 850 lbs
(385.6kg)

Ensure there is adequate floor support for the
unit, chimney and facing material. Some ma­terial could weigh thousands of pounds.

We recommend that the
fireplace be secured to
the floor in all cases.

Using the door
opening as a datum,
level the fireplaceby
shimming under­neath the fireplace.

Remove and dis­card the lifting han­dles. Bend the tabs
down and secure
the unit to the floor.

The fireplace enclosure must be provided with sufficient
air circulation to avoid a fire hazard. Install ventilation grilles
(minimum openings of 40 sq. inches) at both floor and
ceiling levels of the enclosure. These grilles must not re­strict the flow of heat by more than 25%.
Do not install into any area having a height less than 7 feet
(ceiling of enclosure to fireplace bottom, excluding hearth
height).
The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow 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 floor
or roof joist.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

WHEN USING A SOLID P ACK CHIMNEY

9

The fireplace face and
enclosure ceiling must be
framed using 2x4 metal
studs.
The minimum enclosure
ceiling height is 7 feet.
Non-combustible
materials (cement board
and metal studs) must be
used.

OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR

Note: Incorporate a vertical loop or trap
into air liners to reduce air flow when
unit is not in use.

Insulating the in­take liners is
recommended
in colder

climates to pre­vent condensa­tion from
occuring.

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

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

Secure and seal the intake liners to the collars using 3
sheet metal screws, and high temperature sealant.

The duct terminations must be located so they can not be
blocked (i.e. snowdrifts). 4' above grade is recommended.

Make a 6 ½" 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.

MANTLE CLEARANCES

An optional combustible mantle must be a minimum of
12" above the top of the faceplate and not to extend more
than 2" from the surface. See chart below for further
information.

Vertical Horizontal

rise is run may be:

between:

6' & 10' max 5'

3' & 6' 15'
1' & 3' 20'
0' & 1' 25'

Included with the fireplace
are:

- two 10' lengths of vent. Use
a connector and seal if add-

ing 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" diameter to 8" diameter. Use a 6" to 8"
increaser at the hood and a decreaser at the fireplace.
Values in brackets represent 8" diameter intake liners.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

HEARTH EXTENSION

11

An acceptable 61½" x 20" non-combustible (ie: brick, stone
or ceramic tile) hearth extension must be installed.
Hearth must extend 20" in front of the faceplate when it is
not elevated (see local building codes).
Hearth must extend a minimum of 6" to both sides of the
unit (61 ½").
Hearth must be a minimum of 1" thick cement board (or
equivalent) plus ¼" ceramic tile.

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

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

CHIMNEY INST ALLATION

A raised hearth together with the fireplace built on a raised
platform is recommended for easier wood loading and fire
viewing.

The diameter of the chimney is 8".
A chimney venting the fireplace shall not vent any other

appliance.
The minimum overall chimney height from the top of

the fireplace is 15 feet.
The maximum overall chimney height from the top of

the fireplace is 34 feet.
Factory-built chimney systems for use in dwellings

constructed for three or more families must be enclosed
above the room in which the fireplace is located. This
enclosure must have a fire resistance rating equal to or
greater than that of the floor or roof assembly through
which they pass.

If the chimney system is enclosed within the attic area,
a rafter radiation shield is required.

The chimney should not be built with an offset angle in
excess of 45° in Canada and 30° in USA.

The chimney must extend at least 3 feet above its point
of contact with the roof and at least 2 feet higher than
any wall, roof or building within 10 feet.

If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof,
it must be secured using a roof brace or guide wires.

Ensure that minimum clearances are maintained.
Portions of the chimney that extend through accessible

spaces must always be encased to avoid personal
contact with the chimney and thereby avoid damage to
the chimney.

A raincap must be installed to avoid internal damage
and corrosion.

The chimney must be supported at a maximum of 20
foot intervals (approx. 200 lbs/20 ft).

This fireplace was tested to CAN /ULC S610 Standard for
Factory Built Fireplaces, and to UL 127 Factory Built
Fireplaces. This Factory Built Fireplace is certified to burn
Fire Wood. The Factory Built Fireplace model: NZ6000
has met test criteria for Zero Clearance Installation to
Combustible Surfaces.

Any 8" diameter chimney listed to these standards may be
installed. In accordance with these standards, the unit may
also be connected to any chimney listed to CAN/ULC-S604
and CAN/ULC-S629 for Canada or UL-103HT for the United
States.

Installation of all types of factory-built chimney systems is
to be in accordance with the chimney manufacturers in­stallation instructions. An appropriate chimney manufac­turers anchor base plate and anchor base plate gasket is
required in order to initiate their system. Use the high tem­perature gasket, supplied, to seal between the anchor plate
and the fireplace top. Air cooled chimney systems are not
recommended in colder climates.

1. Move the fireplace into position. Try to center the ex­haust flue of the fireplace, midpoint between two joists to
prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the
centre.

2. Cut and frame an opening in the ceiling to provide a
minimum clearance of 2" between the outside of the chim­ney and any combustible material. DO NOT FILL THIS
SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL! Nail headers
between the joists for extra support. Firestop spacers must
be placed on each framed opening in any floor or ceiling
that the chimney passes through.

3. Hold a plumb bob from the underside of the roof to
determine where the opening in the roof should be. Cut
and frame the roof opening maintaining proper 2" clear­ances.

NOTE: 30° or 45° offsets may be installed back to

back.

ADDING CHIMNEY SECTIONS

Add chimney sections, securely , to the required height. Use
a rafter radiation shield whenever the chimney system is
enclosed within an attic area.

- Chimney must extend 3' above the roof.

- Chimney must extend 2' above any portion of the roof
within 10' of the chimney.

OFFSET CHIMNEY INST ALLATION INST ALLING FLASHING AND STORM

The first flue offset closest to the top of the unit
must be a minimum distance of 12" from the top
of the fireplace.

Attach an elbow to the chimney section, angled toward the
offset. Secure with 3 - #8X1/2" sheet metal screws. 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 to a
maximum length of 4'.

Supports must be used on the first vertical chimney sec­tion after a return elbow.

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" 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" 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.

OPERA TING INSTR UCTIONS

j

-

r

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool­ing down cycles are normal and to be be expected.

OPERA TING SOUNDS AND SMELLS

A slight humming sound may be heard depending on the
location of the blower. This sound may be minimized by
turning down the blower.

When first installed, the fireplace and the steel are cold
and must become hot before the fireplace will function
well. During the break-in period (the first 2 or 3 fires) create
only small, hot fires using kindling; this will allow the fire­brick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks
develop in the firebrick. This is a normal occurrence and
does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a
little for the first few fires as it cures and you may wish to
open a door or window to alleviate the smell.

There are many different ways to start a fire, review the
hints and warnings in this section to ensure the fire is
started properly.

ST ARTING A FIRE

Make sure the air control is on high (far right position). You
may also open the doors 1" to 2" during the first five minutes
of start-up, if additional air is needed.

Opening the by-pass damper will help heat up the chimney
more quickly. If desired close after draft is established.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or freshen­up a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away
from the fireplace while it is in use.

If using a firestarter, use only product s specifically designed
for fireplaces - follow the manufacturer's instructions
carefully.

Use plenty of newspaper and kindling to ensure the
fireplace reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling
is burning rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto
the fire.

Tip: When first lighting a fire, if the smoke is not quickly
drawn into the chimney, there may be a downdraft or cold
air in the chimney.

23

Roll up some newspaper, light it and place it near the fire­place flue until the chimney begins to draw. When a fire is
burning, open the door slowly to avoid drawing smoke into
the room.

A properly installed Napoleon fireplace should not smoke.
If yours does, check the following: Has the chimney had
time to get hot? Are the air int ake hoods blocked closed? Is
the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the fireplace or
chimney? Is the smoke flow 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 short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a
higher roof?

DRAFT CONTROL

Draft is the force which moves air from the fireplace up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other forces. Adjusting the draft
control regulates the temperature. The draft can be ad-

usted from a low burn rate with the air control on the low

setting to a fast burn rate with the air control on the high

setting (far right position).
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the room

and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft
may cause an excessive temperature in the fireplace, glow­ing red fireplace parts or an uncontrollable burn which can
all lead to a chimney fire or a permanent damage to the
unit.

Remove all source of gasoline or other flamma
ble vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this o
other appliances prior to lighting.

1. To start, a brisk fire is required. Place loosely crumpled
paper on the floor of the fireplace behind the log retainer.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

24

2. Cover with dry kindling.

3.Open the draft control fully by moving the lever to the right
(HIGH setting).

5. To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed must be estab­lished and maintained.

6. 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 flow
directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above.

4. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one to
two inches) until all kindling is burning.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

7. When the fire seems to be at its peak, medium sized
logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fire,
carefully close the door.

Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce
the firebox temperature and may result in an
unsatisfactory burn.

25

As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change
in the flame pattern. The flames will get smaller and lazier
because less oxygen is getting into the combustion cham­ber. The flames, however, are more efficient. The flames
will remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the
firebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney
becomes heated and provides a good draft.

Can't get the fireplace operating? Use more kindling and
paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly
and there is sufficient combustion air, the lack of suf ficiently
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 fireplace? One of two things may
have happened. The fireplace door may have been closed
prematurely and the fireplace itself has not reached opti­mum temperature. Re-open the door and/or draft control to
re-establish a brisk fire. The other problem may have been
wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and mois­ture being driven from the wood.

FUEL LOADING AND B URN CYCLE

The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly
clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanness of the
glass are good indicators of your operating efficiency.

At this point, the roaring fire that you see when the door is
opened is wastefully drawing heated room air up the
chimney -- certainly not desirable.

So always operate with the door fully closed once the me­dium sized logs have caught fire.

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the
fireplace normally. Once the fireplace is entirely hot, it will
burn very efficiently with little smoke from the chimney . There
will be a bed of hot coals in the firebox so you can safely fill
the firebox with wood to the top of the andirons.

Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces
of wood are burned.

A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of
coals that sustains the fire. 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 start the next
load. In the evening, load your fireplace, at least, a half­hour before bed to ensure the fire is 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.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

26

RE-LOADING THE FIREPLA CE

When refueling open the door slowly to prevent smoke
spillage. Use a pair of long fireplace gloves when feeding
the fire. Keep a small steel shovel nearby to use as a
poker and to remove ashes. Do not store wood within 4
feet (1m) of the fireplace.

Follow the directions below to minimize smoke spillage
while re-loading the fireplace.

1. Move the air control to high.

2. Open the door slightly. Allow the airflow inside the firebox
to stabilize before opening the doors fully.

3. Load wood to the top of the cast retainers and burn at a
medium low setting.

FLASH FIRES

A flash fire is a small fire 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.

3. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of
the load, close the draft control completely making sure
that the fire is not extinguished.

4.In the morning the fireplace should still be hot, with
embers in the coal bed. Stir the coals and load small pieces
of wood to re-ignite the fire, if desired.

Note: Differences in chimney height and draft may lower
overall burn times.

DO NOT OVERFIRE THE FIREPLACE! Overfiring can occur
by: a) burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces. b)
vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control
on "HIGH" (fully open) for long periods of time (one or two
hours).

ASH REMOV AL PROCEDURES

A bed of ashes approximately 1 inch deep should be left on
the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
When the fire has burned down and cooled, remove any
excess ashes. To remove the ash, follow the directions
below.

1. After the last coal has extinguished, let the fireplace cool
at least two hours.

2. Open the fireplace doors.

3. Scoop the ash from the firebox into a metal, airtight, con­tainer with a lid. Cover the container with the lid and move
the container away from the fireplace to ensure the ashes
cool. Dispose of the ashes.

Warning: Improper disposal of ashes result in fires. Do
not discard ashes in cardboard boxes, dump in back yards,
or store in garages.

Note: 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.

OVERNIGHT BURN

This fireplace is large enough to accomodate overnight,
14 hour burns. Follow these steps below to achieve an
overnight burn.

1. Get the fireplace hot by moving the air control to high
and letting the fireplace burn for 15 minutes.

2. Load your larger pieces of wood compactly , packed close
enough to prevent the flames from penetrating it completely.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

TIPS FOR BURNING

• Create a large fire to heat up the fireplace before adjusting to a slower burn.

• To create a large, quick burning fire, use small pieces of wood.

• For a lower, but extended burn, stack larger pieces of wood close together.

• For long burns, leave a 1-2" bed of ashes.

• Burn dry wood only.

• With the exception of overnight burns, create large, quick burning fires whenever possible. Smaller,
slow burning fires, using large logs, cause the glass to become dirty. Larger, quick burning fires
using medium sized wood to refuel frequently are much more efficient.

MAINTENANCE

RUN-AWA Y OR CHIMNEY FIRE

Run-away fires can be the result of FOUR major factors:

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

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

3. Improperly installed or worn gaskets.
SOLUTIONS:

1. Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal,

coloured paper or cardboard.

2. Be careful not to overfire the unit by leaving the door
open too long after the initial start-up.

3. Replace worn, dried out (inflexible) gaskets.
WHA T TO DO IF A RUN-A WA Y OR CHIMNEY FIRE ST ARTS:

1. Close the draft fully (lowest position).

2. Call the local fire department.

3. Examine the chimney, attic and roof of the house, to see

if any part has become hot enough to catch fire. If neces­sary spray with a fire extinguisher or water from a garden
hose.

4. Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the
chimney has not been damaged.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND SMOKE

DETECTORS

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

27

GLASS & GASKET REPLACEMENT

At the end of each burning season inspect the door gasket
ensuring that it is not worn or loose. Replace with proper
fibreglass rope. The purpose of door gasketing is to seal
the firebox. If the doors are not sealed, air leaks into the
firebox, creating a quick burning fire. This situation is not
desireable for overnight or extended burns.
Replace cracked or broken glass immediately. When re­installing the glass, be sure that the glass and gasket
create a solid seal around door frame. Follow the instruc­tions below for glass removal. You many require a flat tool
to gently press the gasket between the glass and the door.
WARNING: Make sure that the glass and gasket are fully
installed down into the glass retainer . If the glass protrudes
too far out of the retainer, the glass will shatter when the
door is closed.

W415-0594 / A / 02.15.07

28

CREOSOTE FORMA TION AND REMOVAL SELECTING WOOD

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. These vapours condense in the relatively
cooler chimney flue of a slow burning fire and when ig­nited, make an extremely hot fire. Check your chimney for
creosote and soot build-up monthly until a safe frequency
for cleaning is established (minimum once a year). If ac­cumulation is excessive, clean the chimney. You may want
to call a professional chimney sweep to clean it. Both the
chimney and the fireplace have to be cleaned at least once
a year or as often as necessary.

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
firewood has cracks in the end grain.

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

Firewood should be split and 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.
