2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION
• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fi re offi cials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.
• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.
• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before fi ring the appliance as the paint will be-
come soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your
appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the fi rst few fi res.
• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.
• For the fi rst two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and fi re-
bricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance and
it will be necessary to build several hot fi res to remove this moisture.
DURING THIS PROCESS DO
NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLI-
ANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.
Your 1402 insert must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fi replace that is at least 14 inches deep 26 inches wide
and 22 inches high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of 16”. This minimum
recess can only be achieved if the opening height is suffi cient enough to allow the connector to fi t under the noncom-
bustible 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.
Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom
covered by a single draft control. Air from the front hole
goes up on either side of the door into a preheating air-
wash located across the top and then down the window
to feed the fi re and also to ensure that the glass remains
clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly into the com-
bustion chamber at hearth level. Secondary air from the
rear hole travels up the back in the secondary air housing
to the manifold located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature fi rebrick on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom,

Your appliance was specifi cally designed to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards and has
been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is the most effi cient, simple and
trouble free we know and works as follows:
Your appliance is the exact duplication of the clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon EPA certifi ed freestand-
ing stoves and in particular that of the EPA 1400. 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.
