With stove and chimney installation completed, move the
bricks into place by working as illustrated for your unit on
page 10.
1.
Install two or three courses of brick on both sides of the
unit. Install two courses on the back wall. Install the fi nal
course of bricks on the back wall. These bricks are held in
place by a brick retainer. Before installing the bricks, loosen
the screw holding the retainer and ensure that it has been
moved forward. Insert the fi nal two bricks behind the retainer
and while still holding the bricks in place, slide the retainer
snugly into place. Retighten the screw.
2.
1900 only:
Place the stainless steel support onto the top row of the
bricks as illustrated on page 10.
Pivot the 2 piece baffl e up and onto the support, then
slide them over and onto the fl ange of the manifold.
Ensure that the overlaps are interlocked to close the
gap. Push the baffl es to the rear of the fi rebox. Repeat
for the opposite side.
3.
Carefully pivot fi bre baffl e up onto the top of the side brick.
Slide it over onto the fl ange of the manifold.
Ensure that the top baffl es are pushed all the way to the rear
of the fi rebox, leaving a minimum of a 1 inch gap along the
front. This will allow the fl ue gases to escape the fi rebox
.
4.
Install the bottom bricks, working from the back of the
unit.
5.
Install the 2 bricks along the front.
NOTE: DO NOTE OPERATE IF BAFFLE AND MANIFOLD SHEILD
ARE NOT IN POSITION
Insert the ornamental trivet into the space on the stove top.
Hang the door using the hinge pins supplied. Twist the large
wire handle over the end of the handle rod.
Twist the smaller wire
handle over the end of
the air damper rod below
the door. Install ash pan
pull handle using screws
and washers.
See
FIGURE 26.
Ensure that the pedestal surfaces
are clean and dry; peel the protective
backing from the trim adhesive. Insert
one end of the brass trim into one of
the slots located in the pedestal and
pressing fi rmly, proceed around to the
other slot. Cut trim to size. Attach the
rear knockout plate (located inside the
ash pan for shipping purposes).
TRIVET
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such
liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48” from the front face.
Your Napoleon EPA listed product is a Hi-Tech unit, designed
with the most advanced technology. The unit is extremely
airtight. It has an exclusive direct outside air supply (optional
kit), a safety feature designed to prevent spillage, and to keep
your house free of carbon monoxide, in case of a downdrafting
chimney or an internal negative pressure.
The fi rst fi re(s) in your unit 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 - 600°F) before your unit 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 stove and cover with dry kindling. Open the
draft control fully by pulling the lever forward. Light the paper
and leave the door slightly ajar (one inch) until all kindling
is burning. To maintain a brisk fi re, a hot coal bed must be
established and maintained.
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. (Clos-
ing 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 fi replace with large logs that
result in a smouldering, 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.

Models 1100L / 1400L Only: Provisions have been made on
the stove to install an optional ash drawer kit. The EPAD-KT
kit allows for convenient removal of excess ash. This kit can
be purchased through your Napoleon Dealer.
