2.4 GENERAL
INFORMATION
Your appliance was specifi cally designed to meet the July 1990 particulate emission standards and has been
extensively tested in Canadian and US laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple and trouble free
we know; it works as follows:
Your appliance uses clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon EPA certifi ed stoves equipped with an heat
circulating blower . External modifi cations have been made to allow its installation as a “functional insert” with a heat
circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fi replace cavity for greater heating effi ciency.
Your appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fi replace that is at least 18” (457.2mm) deep, 27”
(685.8mm) wide and 22” (558.8mm)high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of
18” (457.2mm) for Canada and 16” (406.4mm) for USA. This minimum recess can only be achieved if the opening
height is suffi cient enough to allow the connector to fi t under the noncombustible facing. The appliance and chimney
must be constructed in accordance with all national and local
building code standards.
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning
appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily fl ow
through it. Chimney vent systems that are too short or too long
can also have an adverse affect on the fl ow of exhaust through
it. The wood burning appliance and chimney vent system also
require a suffi cient supply of combustion air not only to support
the combustion in the combustion chamber but to replace
the exhaust leaving it so it can fl ow freely up through the vent
system and out into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance
of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure
the appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Secondary air from the side intake openings travels up to the
secondary air housing to the manifold located across the top
and fl ows out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke
exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
refractory fi rebricks on the sides, back and bottom with a fi bre
baffl e on top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion
chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the
secondary air manifold tubes are easily ignited and burned.
Be sure to provide suffi cient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air
such as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the fi rebox burning off. Open a
window to suffi ciently ventilate the room.

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.
If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a
door, a window or otherwise provide some method of supplying
combustion air to the appliance.
We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institue® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
