Napoleon Fireplaces EPI 1402 Optional Blower, Installation Into a Factory Built Fireplace

8

In the United States: While it is not required, it is rec- ommended that a chimney liner be installed that is con- tinuous from the insert to the top of the chimney, particu- larly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this type of connection, use the "In Canada" installation instruc- tions above.

In the United States, continued:

If a continuous liner is not installed, a "direct flue connec- tion" must be made. The direct flue connection requires 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 products in the chimney flue with air from inside the house. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.

1401/1402 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.

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

INSTALLATION INTO A FACTORY

BUILT FIREPLACE

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

2.Clearances to any combustible material surrounding this insert as identified in Figure 10 must be followed. These clearance requirements supersede any pre-exist- ing 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 attached to the insert flue collar and the chimney top.

4.Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may be accom- plished 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 louvres or cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifi- cally tested as such for each factory built fireplace manu- facturer and model line. (Note - using a louvred face plate (surround) complies with this requirement)

6.Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted with the following exceptions;

a.external trim pieces which do not affect the operation 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 sup- plied 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 BLOWER

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

Use of the blower increases the output of heat.

STOVE MODELS

Provisions have been made on the stove to install an op- tional blower kit (EP62-1) that comes complete with a vari- able speed switch to turn the blower on and off, as well as adjusting the blower speed. An optional thermostatic sen- sor control kit, EP36, to thermally activate the blower 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.MOUNTING

INSERT MODELS

The 1401/1402 inserts comes equipped with two blowers, while the 1101 has one blower. These blowers are ther- mally activated. Depending on the intensity of the fire, the blowers will start 15-30 minutes after lighting. The heat sensor for the 1401/1402 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 blowers to cycle on and off. To control this, either build your fire up evenly or turn down the blowers until the right side of the firebox is hot.

1101 BLOWER SERVICE OR REPLACEMENT

1. Turn off all electrical power to the
insert. Remove the glass door and	GASKET
set aside in a safe place.
2. Remove the top right side bricks
from inside the firebox, 4-#7's and
2-#2's. Then remove the rest of the
side and back bricks from the right	THERMAL
side of the 1101 insert. It is not nec-	SWITCH
essary to remove the bottom bricks.
