unit on page 10.

1.Install two or three courses of brick on both sides of the unit. Install two courses on the back wall. Install the final course of bricks on the back wall. These bricks are held in place by a brick retainer. Before installing the bricks, loosen the screw holding the retainer and ensure that it has been moved forward. Insert the final two bricks behind the retainer and while still holding the bricks in place, slide the retainer snugly into place. Retighten the screw.

2.Carefully pivot fibre baffle up on to the top of the side brick. Slide it over onto the flange of the manifold. Ensure that the top baffles are pushed all the way to the rear of the firebox, leaving a minimum of a 1 inch gap along the front. This will allow the flue gases to escape the firebox.

3.Install the bottom bricks, working from the back of the unit.

4.Install the 2 bricks along the front.

ORNAMENTAL TRIVET INSTALLATION

PEDESTAL TRIM INSTALLATION

Ensure that the pedestal sur- faces are clean and dry; peel the protective backing from the trim adhesive. Insert one end of the brass trim into one of the slots located in the pedestal and pressing firmly, proceed around to the other slot. Cut trim to size. Attach the rear knockout plate (lo- cated inside the ash pan for shipping purposes).

WARNING: Remove all sources of gasoline

or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or other appliances before lighting.Your Napoleon EPA listed product is a Hi-Tech unit, designed with the most advanced technology. The unit is extremely airtight. It has an exclusive direct out- side air supply (optional kit), a safety feature designed to prevent spillage, and to keep your house free of car- bon monoxide, in case of a downdrafting chimney or an internal negative pressure.

The first fire(s) in your unit will be difficult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being gener- ated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fire brick. Allow 30 to 40 hours of hot fires ( tem- peratures in excess of 500°F - 600°F) before your unit will perform normally. During the break-in period (the first 2 or 3 fires) create only small, hot fires using kin- dling; this will allow the firebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in the firebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a little for the first few fires as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.

To start, a brisk fire is required. Place loosely crum- pled paper on the floor of the stove and cover with dry kindling. Open the draft control fully by pulling the lever forward. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed must be established and main- tained.

Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a shallow trench between, so that the primary air can flow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the fire seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fire, care- fully close the door. (Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the firebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.) Remember it is more effi- cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the fireplace with large logs that result in a smouldering, inefficient fire and dirty glass. As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the flame pattern. The flames will get smaller and lazier because less oxygen is getting into the combustion cham- ber. The flames, however, are more efficient. The flames will remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the firebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fire that you see when the door is opened is wastefully drawing heated room air up the chimney -- cer- tainly not desirable. Always operate with the door fully closed once the medium sized logs have caught fire.
