2.0 INSTALLATION

!WARNING

RISK OF FIRE, MAINTAIN SPECIFIED AIR SPACE CLEARANCES TO VENT PIPE AND APPLIANCE.

Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning appliance. Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning appliance are in a clean and sound condition and constructed of non-combustible materials. If necessary have any repair work done by a qualified person before installing the insert. Remove the existing appliance damper or lock into an open position.

Using screws, attach the appliance warning tag (W385-0199) to the inside of the firebox of the ap- pliance into which the insert is being installed.

The sheet-metal parts of the appliance, in which the gas appliance insert is to be installed, must not be cut.

If the wood-burning factory-built appliance has

no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the appliance in a proper workman like manner. This access hole must be plugged with non-combus- tible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.

Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fit properly.

The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates may be removed from the appliance before installing the gas appliance insert.

Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.

The ventilation openings in the appliance may be obstructed by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but these parts are not to be applied so as to have an airtight seal.

2.1INSERT LEVELLING

Move the insert close to its final position inside the wood-burning appliance. This appliance is equipped with 4 levelling screws located in the four inside corners beneath the log support. Level using the levelling screws to eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Once the appliance is level, move it partially into place within the appliance to allow for all connections to be made. It is not practical to level the insert once it has been installed. Determine the required depth prior to installing the appliance and adjust the four levelling screws accordingly.

2.2CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The chimney must be lined with one 2" or 3" diameter liner for intake and one 3" diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum and maximum vent lengths are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recommended Napoleon kits come in 3 lengths:
