draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other forces.
Adjusting the draft control regulates the temperature. The draft can be adjusted via the thermostat from a low
burn rate with the air control on the low setting to a fast burn rate with the air control on the high setting.
The hmf100 is also equipped with a manual air control lever located on the right side of the front top furnace
panel. The damper has a neutral position approximately 1/3 of the maximum opening position (see diagram
below). To the left of the neutral position the air
control lever adjusts the intensity of the low burn
only (even with a call from the thermostat for heat
the furnace will remain a low fire burn). moving the
air control lever to the right of the neutral position will
adjust the intensity level of the high fire burn when the
thermostat calls for heat.
inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the
room and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too
much draft may cause an excessive temperature in
the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or an un-
controllable burn which can all lead to a chimney fire
or a permanent damage to the appliance.
roll up some newspaper, light it and place it near the appliance flue until the chimney begins to draw. When a
fire is burning, open the door slowly to avoid drawing smoke into the room.
A properly installed napoleon appliance should not smoke.
if yours does, check the following: has the chimney had time to get hot? Are the air intake hoods blocked
closed? is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance or chimney? is the smoke flow impeded by
too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends? is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold
outside chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
NOTE
Differences in the chimney height
and draft may lower overall burn
times.
