INTRODUCTION

General information

The 1600C-1 was specifically designed over many months of research to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards and has been extensively tested in Canadian laboratories. This system is the most efficient, simple and trouble free we know and works as follows.

The 1600C-1 is designated as a continuous wood burning heating appliance having a combustion chamber enclosed with cast brick walls where all fuel is meant to be burnt on the grate supplied. It is a top and rear vented appliance capable of being installed near a wall. It has an adjustable air control for controlling the burning rate as well as a large ash-pan.

NOTE : The following items supplied with the unit must be removed from the firebox before attempting to operate the stove : door handle tool, ash fender and installation hardware.

After removing the unit from the pallet, use the securing screws to install the heat shield to the base of the unit.

Principal of operation

The 1600C-1 is designed to be operated with the door closed. The heat produced is mainly transmitted through the window and the body of the unit. Combustion occurs on the grate with a draft entry through the top of the combustion chamber. 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. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. 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 fireplace may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the firebox burning off. Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.

If the outside air feature of the stove is utilized, you will never experience a shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize outside air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door or Window.

WARNING: Burning your unit with the ashpan door open or ajar creates a fire hazard that may result in internal damage to the stove or a house and/or chimney fire.

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:

Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Care of glass

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and/or blemishes may result. Normally a hot fire will clean the glass. The most common reasons for dirty glass include : not using sufficient fuel to get the stove thoroughly hot, using green or wet wood, closing the air control so far that there is insufficient air for complete combustion. If it is necessary to clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive cleaner.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT !

The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest against it and always close the door gently. If the glass should ever crack while the fire is burning, do not open the door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again until the glass has been replaced with a new 4 mm thick plate of ceramic glass, available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

To remove the door glass, open the door, remove the screws and brackets holding the glass in place. Remove all broken glass. Replace the gasket, if necessary. Place the new glass in position and replace the brackets and screws.
