Optimum Burn Method - Napoleon TIMBERWOLF EPI22 Instructions D'installation Et D'opération

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the fi rebox
and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top baffl es. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to the top of
the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250°F (120°C) and 450°F
(270°C). A surface thermometer will help regulate this.
Without an appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance.
Can't get the fi re going? Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and
there is suffi cient combustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb
size is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.
Can't get heat out of the appliance? One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have
been closed prematurely and the appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/
or draft control to re-establish a brisk fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is
sizzling wood and moisture being driven from the wood.

OPTIMUM BURN METHOD

For optimal emissions performance and effi ciency follow these simple guidelines when using your appliance:
A. Maintain a 2" (51mm) deep, hot, glowing red coal bed.
B. Burn dry seasoned wood with less than 20% moisture content and burn so that the glass door remains
clean.
C. A stove thermometer should indicate 350°F (176°C) as an average temperature.
D. Maintain a minimal trace of smoke coming from the chimney when the appliance is burning as
intended.
E. Inspect and replace all necessary components such as gaskets, manifolds, glass and other
components which may affect the overall appliance performance.
F. Ensure an adequate draft to control burn rate and temperature.
