GENERAL INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the Napoleon® Pellet Heater.
This heater is designed for use with Pelletized Wood Only.
Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning room heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This Pellet Heater, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes, use
the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code in the United States.
This heater will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system.
PELLET QUALITY
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your Napoleon® Pellet Heater has been designed to burn premium hard or soft wood pellets only. Do not use any other type of
fuel such as fi re logs or fi re starting pellet, as this will void the warranties stated in this manual.
The performance and heat output of the pellet heater is directly related to the quality and moisture of the pellets.
Store pellets in a cool dry area to prevent moisture absorption.
CAUTION: It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt content. Dirty fuel
will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer
for a recommended pellet type.
P.F.I. PELLET STANDARDS:
Fines (fi ne particles) 1% maximum through a 1/8" screen
Bulk Density 40 pound per cubic foot minimum
Size 1/4" to 5/16" diameter, 1/2" - 1 1/2" long maximum
Ash Content 1% maximum (Premium grade)
3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content 8% maximum
Heat Content Approximately 8200 BTU per pound minimum
If the fuel does not comply to this standard the unit may not operate as designed.
We recommend the use of premium grade (1% ash content) for longer stove life and less frequent cleaning.
SPECIFICATIONS
Approximate Maximum Heating Capacity (in square feet)* 800 to 2000 Sq. Feet
Burn Rate (Pounds per Hour)** 1.0 to 5.0

GENERAL INSTALLATION
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
!
WARNING
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS HEATER. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
Check with local building offi cials for any permits required for
installation of this pellet heater and notify your insurance company
before proceeding with installation.
Before installing we recommend placing the heater outside and
load 5 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the heater in and
let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint
and burn off the oils on the steel, there by minimizing any smell
inside the home.
HEATER PLACEMENT
Have an authorized Napoleon® dealer install the heater. If you
install the heater yourself, have your dealer review your installation
plans and/or installation.
Draw out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions
and verify the dimensions with the requirements listed in this
manual.
For built-in enclosures, when determining the location of the
heater, locate the wall studs (for horizontal penetrations). You may
wish to adjust the heater position slightly to ensure the vent does
not intersect with a framing member.
Heater must be positioned so that no combustibles are within, or
can swing within (e.g. drapes, doors), 48" of the front of the heater.
If the heater is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less
than 7' above the base of the heater, the installation must follow
the requirements in the section "Alcove Installations Requirements"
W415-0616 / B / 02.18.08
NPS40:
To install in a Residential or Mobile Home see the section "Mobile
Home Requirements".
For alcove installations see the section "Alcove Installation
Requirements".
For horizontal vent or vertical vent see the section "General Venting".
See the section "Outside Air" for this option.
NPI40:
The insert can be adapted to vent out the rear or vertically.
To install as an insert into an existing masonry fi replace factory
built fi replace or a built in combustible enclosure see Insert Installation.
FLOOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
NPS40:
The heater must be installed on a non-combustible fl oor protector
extending the full depth of the heater and extending a minimum 6"
in front and on either side (minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge).
The fl oor protector must extend under and 2" beyond each side
and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

SAFETY FEATURES
HIGH LIMIT SWITCH:
Your heater is equipped with a high limit switch. In the event that
the temperature of the heater approaches an unsafe operating
temperature, this switch will shut down the pellet feed, which will
eventually shut down the unit. If this happens, it is important to fi nd
out why the unit overheated. Contact your local dealer.
LOW LIMIT SWITCH:
This switch will automatically shut down the heater if the fi re goes
out.
BLOWER OVER-RIDE SWITCH:
Your heater is equipped with a convection blower that circulates
hot air into your room. This switch will automatically turn the blower
on, when the temperature at the back of the fi re box reaches a certain temperature. The blower can cycle from your desired setting
to maximum speed depending on the feed rate. When the heater
cools back down, the blower will return to the initial setting.
VACUUM SWITCH:
This switch will sense lack of air fl ow through the heater and
shut down the pellet feed. This lack of fl ow could be caused by a
blocked vent.
POWER FAILURE:
In the event of a power failure, the heater will shut down. Once
power is restored, the heater will re-start, unless the convection
air temperature has gone above the high limit switch setting. If this
happens, contact your local dealer.
The heater must be grounded to
the steel chassis of the mobile
home (Some states do not require
this; check with your local building
department).
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN
A SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY OF THE MANUFACTURED HOME FLOOR, WALL,
AND CEILING ROOF MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
Figure 5
OUTSIDE AIR
Available from your Napoleon Dealer (114KT)
Outside air must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage,
unventilated crawl space).
NOTE: Napoleon® strongly suggests using outside air for all residential installations, especially for those that are energy effi cient,
air-tight homes.
Outside air supply must not be over 15' long.
Outside air vents must be made with 1 3/4" diameter or larger
metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen attached to the end to
keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other materials may not be used).
The outside air inlet must not be above or within 12" of the chimney termination, must have a rain cap or down-turned elbow to
prevent the water from entering and be located so that it will not
become plugged by snow or other material.
Outside air is mandatory for a combustible built-in enclosure install
for the NPI40.
MOBILE HOME
Installation into a manufactured home or mobile home should be
installed in accordance with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, in the United
States or the Mobile Home Standard, CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series,
in Canada.
W415-0616 / B / 02.18.08

GENERAL VENTING
PELLET VENT MUST MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 3" CLEARANCE
TO ANY COMBUSTIBLE (install vent at clearances specifi ed by
the vent manufacturer).
DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT OR CHIMNEY SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR HEATER.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
TYPE OF VENT
Must be an approved 3" or 4" Diameter Type "L" or "PL" vent,
vented to the outside or connect the vent to a factory built type "A"
chimney using an adaptor; and/or stainless steel chimney liner for
masonry fi replace installations. Use 4" diameter vent if vent or liner
height is over 15' or if installation is over 4,000' above sea level.
INSTALLING THE PELLET VENT
The vent must have a support bracket every 5' when on the exterior wall.
To achieve optimum performance, keep vent runs as short as possible, especially on horizontal installations.
MAXIMUM VENTING:
Maximum venting height is 33'. Maximum horizontal offset is 10'.
Use no more than 180° of elbows (two 90' elbows, or two 45'
elbows and one 90' elbow, etc), plus termination.
VENT INSTALLATION:
Termination must exhaust above the air inlet elevation, and parallel
or above the exhaust output of the pellet appliance. It is recommended that at least 3' of vertical pipe be installed to create some
natural draft. This is to help prevent the possibility of smoke or
odour during the appliance shut down or in the event of a power
outage.
Horizontal sections must
have a 1/4" rise every 12"
of travel if longer than 3'.
VENTING THE PELLET HEATER
Use an approved wall thimble when passing the vent through
walls and a ceiling support/fi re stop spacer when passing the vent
through ceilings (maintain a 3" clearance to any combustibles).
PELLET VENT TERMINATION
The vent termination must have an approved cap (to prevent water
from entering) or a 45° downturn.
If the termination is located on a windy side of the house, a shield
is recommended to prevent soot from building up on the side of the
house.
Horizontal terminations must protrude 12" from the wall, vertical
terminations require a minimum 24" above the highest point that it
penetrates through the roof.
Depending on pellet quality, vent confi guration and air settings,
black soot may occur on the terminal wall.
ALCOVE INSTALLATION (NPS40 ONLY)
The pellet vent connections must be sealed with
HI-Temp RTV Silicone and
screwed together with at
least 3 3/8" long stainless
steel screws. Seal each
vent section by injecting
a liberal amount of 500°F
(260°C) RTV silicone
sealant into the gap. We
recommend sealing the
outside of the vent connections to permit easier
access when
servicing.
