GENERAL INFORMATION

Except for their different depths, models 1100, 1150, 1400, 1900 and the fireplace inserts 1101, 1401, and 1402 are identical and use the same burning principles. They were specifically designed over many months of research to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards and have been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is the most efficient, simple and trouble free we know and works as follows:

Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom covered by a single draft control. Air from the front hole goes up on either side of the door into a preheating airwash located across the top and then down the window to feed the fire and also to ensure that the glass remains clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly into the combustion cham- ber at hearth level. Secondary air from the rear hole travels up the back in the secondary air housing to the manifold located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.

The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature firebrick on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom, with a layer of fibre baffles at the top to maintain a high tempera- ture in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily ignited and burned. The stove sides and back are shielded to direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room.

PEDESTAL MODELS ONLY

If the outside air feature of the stove is utilized, you should 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 win- dow.

WARNING: Burning your unit with the ash dump door open or ajar creates a fire hazard that may result in discoloration to the gold plated door, in- ternal damage to the stove or a house and/ or chimney fire.

To ensure that the ash dump door is tightly closed, allow the door to snap shut dislodging anything (ashes or pieces of coal) that may be stuck in the opening.

LEG MODELS ONLY

If you experience smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a window or otherwise provide some method of supplying combustion air to the unit.

FIGURE 1

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 bath- room exhaust fan.

Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving an- other appliance.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool- ing 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 on the firebox burning off. Open a window to suf- ficiently ventilate the room.

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 ALL PLATED AND ENAMELED PARTS

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff lightly with a clean dry cloth.

Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may cause a permanent rainbowing effect on the lower edge of a gold plated door.

Porcelain enamel components must be handled with care. The baked-on finish is "glass". If struck, it will chip. Touch- up paint is available through your Napoleon dealer.

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, us- ing green or wet wood, closing the draft 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 5mm thick plate of ceramic glass, available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel Ltd. dealer.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

TO REMOVE THE GLASS: When the unit is cool, open the door and remove the screws and brackets holding the glass in place. Remove all broken glass. Wrap the edges of the new glass with a U-shaped strip of fiberglass gasket, covering 1/4" on each side. Place the glass with the fiberglass gasket in position and replace the brackets and screws. When finished, you should be able to move the glass slightly, horizontally and vertically.
