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 rebricks.
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 APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

general information

Your appliance was specifically designed to meet the 2020 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards for cord
wood and has been extensively tested in Canadian laboratories. This system is the most efficient, 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-certified
freestanding stoves. External modifications 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 fireplace cavity for greater heating
efficiency.
Your appliance must be installed only into a solid fuel
burning fireplace that is at least 14" (356mm) deep
25 7/8" (657mm) wide and 22" (559mm) high with an
approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and
a hearth of 18" (457mm). This minimum recess can only
be achieved if the opening height is sufficient enough
to allow the connector to fit 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 flow through it. Chimney vent systems that are
too short or too long can also have an adverse affect
on the flow of exhaust through it. The wood burning
appliance and chimney vent system also require a
sufficient supply of combustion air not only to support
the combustion in the combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can flow 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 rear intake opening travels up the back in the secondary air housing to the manifold located
across the top and flows out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The lower combustion chamber is lined with high temperature firebricks on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom,
with a layer of fibre baffles at the top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing
with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily ignited and burned. The appliance sides and back
are shielded to direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room.
Be sure to provide sufficient 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 blower.
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 firebox burning off. Open a
window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
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.
Please note that a metal tag (rating plate) has been provided with
your apliance, attached using screws or nails, in a location readily
visible should the fireplace insert by removed and/or if the fireplace
has been modified to accomodate a fireplace insert.
