INTRODUCTION

WARNING

• The stove is an oil-fired stove. Do not burn wood or other materials in this stove.

• Adults and especially children should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay
away to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Supervise young children when they are in the same room as the stove.

• Due to high temperatures, the stove should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

• Clothing or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the stove.

• Do not allow anyone to operate this appliance unless they are thoroughly familiar with the operating instructions.

• The use of a firescreen is strongly recommended as a further safeguard.

• It is imperative that the controls, burner, its passageway in the stove and venting system are kept clean. The
stove and its venting system should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive soot build-up. The stove area must be kept clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

• Under no circumstances should this stove be modified.

• This stove must not be connected to a chimney flue pipe serving another appliance.

• Do not draw combustion air from a wall, floor or ceiling cavity or from an enclosed area such as an attic, a
basement or a garage.

• Do not use this stove if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the stove and to replace any part of the control system which has been under water.

• Do not operate the stove with the glass door opened, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be
done by a licensed or qualified service person.

• Do not strike or slam shut the stove glass door.

To determine the flow rate, disconnect the feed line from the carburetor to the burner. Place the container for measuring

CARE OF ENAMELLED P ARTS

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff lightly with a clean, dry cloth. Porcelain enamel compo­nents must be handled with care. The baked-on finish is "glasslike". If struck, it will chip. Touch-up paint is
available through your Napoleon dealer.

CARE OF GLASS

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and / or blemishes may result. Normally a hot burn will
clean the glass. The most common reason for dirty glass is running the unit at a low burning rate. If it is
necessary to clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive cleaner. Coarse cleaning materials may cause
scratches or otherwise damage the glass. Scratches can develop into cracks or breaking of the glass. DO NOT
CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT!
The glass is very strong and comes in strips for maximum performance. However, always close the door gently.
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 new borosilicate glass, available from your
Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. Check gaskets and seals regularly.

LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor, it must be placed
on a approved noncombustible hearth pad, that extends the full width
and depth of the unit - 24½" x 21½" (620 mm x 544 mm).

Maintain these minimum clearances to combustibles:
A (side wall to side of stove) 12 inches (300mm)
B (back wall to back of stove) 19 inches (483mm)

C (back wall to back of chimney connector) 12 inches (300mm)

If reduced clearances are needed, obtain requirements from your local building code authorities.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read the installation instructions carefully, prior to installing the oil stove.

Your Napoleon oil stove must be installed in accordance with all national and local building code standards.
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.

DRAFT AIR

Most of the heat generated by the oil stove is used to warm the room air. However, part of the generated heat
escapes as exhaust gas through the chimney, creating a ‘chimney draft’. To ensure proper operations of the
stove, it must be connected to a chimney having a sufficient draft capacity to operate the stove satisfactorily.
Flue draft, measured as negative pressure in the chimney, is created by the hot, rising combustion gas. The
draft, in turn, permits combustion air to enter the burner and emit the exhaust gases from the chimney to
complete the combustion cycle. A draft of 0.08" water column for maximum speed burn and 0.024" for mini­mum speed burn is rated best to obtain the utmost performance of the oil stove.
Basic criteria essential to create and maintain chimney draft are:

1. Availability of combustion air

2. Diameter and height of chimney.

3. Heat generated by the fire.
These segments work together to create the chimney draft. To alter one of them will affect the other two and
change the amount of draft in the chimney and ultimately the stove’s performance. To ensure that adequate
chimney draft is maintained, the chimney should be kept clean and without cracks. As soon as the oil stove has
been installed, the chimney draft should be checked with a draftmeter. In order to insert the draftmeter probe
into the chimney connector, drill a ¼” hole at the rear of the connector joint approximately 6” from the rear of the
flue collar. This may then be sealed with a screw once all testing has been completed. Flue draft is measured
when the oil stove is hot (after a minimum use of 30 minutes) to establish a true reading of the draft. For the
recommended operating draft level, see ‘General Information’ on page 4. Draft adjustment can be made through
use of the draft regulator located at the back of the oil stove (item 12, figure 9). In the event that the chimney
draft is excessive or irregular, a draft stabiliser should to be fitted to the chimney.

OUTSIDE AIR

The oil burning stove consumes about 4000 ft3 of air per US gallon of oil (30 m3 of air per litre of oil). This air is
introduced into the burner through air inlets and exits the chimney as combustion gas. For the oil stove to
function properly, an adequate supply of combustion air is required. There are many other appliances in your
home competing for air such as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices, clothes dryer or a bathroom
exhaust fan. Clothes dryers exhaust 400 CFM (cubic feet / minute); range hoods and exhaust fans can exhaust
up to 150 CFM. If there is insufficient combustion air, you may need to open a door or window to avoid adversely
affecting the performance of the oil stove.
The manufacturer of the stove and/or his agent is not responsible for any smoking or related problems or
damages resulting from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is the responsibility of the installation contractor
to ensure that adequate combustion air is available to the stove at all times.
