Napoleon EPI 1101 Instructions D'installation Et D'utilisation page 7

The 1101 insert must be installed into a solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 16 1/2" (419mm) deep, 28 1/2" (724mm)
wide and 22" (559mm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15' (4.6m) high and a hearth of 16" (406mm).
Your 1402 insert must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 14" (356mm) deep, 26" (660mm)
wide and 22" (559mm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15' (4.6m) high and a hearth of 16" (406mm). This
minimum recess can only be achieved if the opening height is sufficient enough to allow the connector to fit under the
non-combustible 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.
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
airwash located across the top and then down the
window to feed the fire and also to ensure that the glass
remains clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly into
the combustion 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
firebrick 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 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 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.
HINT FOR INSTALLING PORCELAIN ENAMEL INSERTS:
Ensure the base of the porcelain side panels are protected from rubbing against the hearth when sliding your
insert into the masonry fireplace.
