OUTSIDE AIR

Connection from the stove's air intake to the outside is mandatory in mobile homes only, either through a hole in the wall to line up with the knockout in the pedestal back, or through a hole in the floor to line up with the hole in the pedestal base. Use a fresh air kit. Secure the 4 inch diameter aluminum liner by flaring the end once it is inserted through the 4-1/2 inch diameter hole

Do NOT remove bricks or mortar from the fireplace. In case of an outside air inlet or ash dump, fill with fiberglass insulation. Adhere to minimum clearances as shown in

FIGURE 10.

Do NOT place any combustible materi- als (furniture, fire- wood, etc.) within 48

in either the back or base of the pedestal. If the air in- take is through the floor, the hole in the pedestal back must be covered with sheet metal to avoid cold air spill- age into the room. A cover plate is available from your

inches in front or 36 inches at the side of the insert.

Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer. Avoid cutting away floor joists, wall studs, electrical wires or plumbing. Seal around the outside pipe with insulation to prevent drafts.

If room air starvation occurs because the fresh air intake is blocked with ice, leaves, etc., or because the stove door was left open, or due to a strong exhaust fan operating etc., dangerous fumes and smoke from the operating stove could be drawn into the room.

FIREPLACE INSERT

INSTALLATION

Your EPI 1101 and 1401 insert firebox is the exact du- plication of the clean-burning technology found in all Na- poleon EPA certified freestanding stoves and in particu- lar that of the EPA 1100 and 1400. External modifica- tions have been made to allow its installation as a "func- tional fireplace insert" with a heat circulating blower sys- tem and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fire- place cavity for greater heating efficiency.

The EPI 1101 insert must be installed into a solid fuel burn- ing fireplace that is at least 16 1/2 to 21 inches deep, 28 1/ 2 inches wide and 21 1/2 inches high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m).

Your EPI 1401 fireplace insert must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 14 inches deep 26 inches wide and 22 inches high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m). This minimum re- cess can only be achieved if the opening height is suffi- cient enough to allow the connector to fit under the non- combustible facing. The fireplace and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national and local build- ing code standards.

HINT FOR INSTALLING PORCELAIN ENAMEL INSERTS:

Ensure the base of the porcelain side pan- els are protected from rubbing against the hearth when sliding your insert into the masonry fireplace.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Clean all ashes out of the inside of the fireplace. Make sure that the chimney and fireplace are free of cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits, blockage or other signs of deterioration. If necessary, have any repair work done by a qualified professional before installing the insert.

Combustible material must not protrude more that 1" to the side of the insert or between the mantle and the top of the insert.

INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE

1.Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it perma- nently open.

2.Measure the throat of the fireplace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (flue cover); cut a six-inch (150mm) hole to lie directly below the fireplace flue opening. Allow two inches of material for a flange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the flanges. If you have never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it first. Fasten this flue cover in posi- tion as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the flanges into the fireplace. FIGURE 11.

INSTALLATION

FIGURE 11

MODEL 1401 Illustrated

In Canada: Install a listed 6 inch diameter flexible stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney to the insert flue collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connec- tor or elbow to the liner and insert onto the flue collar. Fasten with three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney flashing. Cap the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.

In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is continuous from the insert to the top of the chimney, particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this type of connection, use the "In Canada" instal- lation instructions above.
