In the United States, continued:

If a continuous liner is not installed, a "direct flue con- nection" must be made. The direct flue connection re- quires a non-combustible connector that extends from the insert into the chimney flue liner and also that the installed flue cover be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion prod- ucts in the chimney flue with air from inside the house. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.

1401 INSERT MODEL

An optional low clearance flue connector is available to facilitate hook up into a tight fitting fireplace. Consult your local dealer for details.

INSTALLATION INTO A FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE.

The following installation requirements must be ob- served when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory built fireplaces.

1.The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.

2.Clearances to any combustible material surround- ing this insert as identified in Figure 10 must be fol- lowed. These clearance requirements supersede any pre-existing facing material clearances listed for the factory built fireplace.

3.Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting HT requirements (2100°F) per 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely at- tached to the insert flue collar and the chimney top.

4.Means must be provided to prevent room air pas- sage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the fireplace front.

5.The air flow within and around the fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e. no lou- vres or cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifically tested as such for each factory built fireplace manufacturer and model line. (Note - using a louvred face plate (surround) complies with this require- ment)

6.Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not per- mitted with the following exceptions;

a.external trim pieces which do not affect the opera- tion of the fireplace may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed.

b.the chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.

7.Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.

8.Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.

9.Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be supplied with appropriate support means.

10.A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of the fireplace stating that the fireplace must be restored to its original condition for safe use without the insert.

OPTIONAL FAN INSTALLATION

Drywall dust will penetrate into the fan bearings, causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with the fan or its compartment. Any damage re- sulting from this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.

Use of the fan increases the output of heat.

STOVE MODELS: Provisions have been made on the stove to install an optional blower kit (EP62-1) that comes complete with a variable speed switch to turn the blower on and off, as well as adjusting the blower speed. An optional thermostatic sensor control kit, EP36, to thermally activate the fan is also available.

LEG MODELS ONLY

Note: if the optional blower ( EP62-1) is installed, the blower guard (W320-0011) must be installed. This guard is available from your Napoleon dealer.

Attach the mounting bracket to the blower assembly. Then attach the mounting bracket to the back of your stove, push on the variable speed knob and plug into any grounded electrical outlet.

INSERT MODELS:

The 1401 insert comes equipped with two fans, while the 1101 has one fan. These fans are thermally acti- vated. Depending on the intensity of the fire, the fans will start 15-30 minutes after lighting. The heat sensor for the 1401 is located on the right hand side of the unit and the 1101 has a heat sensor located at the back on the blower access door. When first starting the fire, the sensor may be impeded by a large log or an unevenly burning fire, causing the fans to cycle on and off. To control this, either build your fire up evenly or turn down the fans until the right side of the firebox is hot.
