GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION

THIS GAS STOVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER to conform with local codes. Installation practices vary from region to region and it is important to know the specifics that apply to your area,

for example: in Massachusetts State:

•The stove damper must be removed or welded in the open position prior to installation of a stove insert or gas log.

•A carbon monoxide detector is required in all rooms containing gas fired appliances.

•The appliance off valve must be a “T” handle gas cock.

•The flexible connector must not be longer than 36 inches.

•The appliance is not approved for installation in a bedroom or bathroom unless the unit is a direct vent sealed combustion product.

•WARNING: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In absence of local codes, install to the current CAN1-B149 Installation Code in Canada or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and NFPA 54 in the United States. Mobile home installation must conform with local codes. In the absence of local codes, install to the current standard for gas equipped mobile housing CAN/CSA Z240 MH Series in Canada or the manufactured home construction and safety standard, Title 24 CFR, part 3280, or the Fire Safety Criteria for manufactured home installations, Sites and Community Standard ANSI/NFPA 501A in the United States.

Objects placed in front of the stove must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa). The stove must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).

The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/ NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.

FOR YOUR SATISFACTION, THIS STOVE HAS BEEN TEST- FIRED TO ASSURE ITS OPERATION AND QUALITY! Minimum inlet gas supply pressure is 4.5 inches water column for natural gas and 11 inches water column for propane. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 7 inches water column for natural gas and 13 inches water column for propane. When the valve is set to "HI", the manifold pressure under flow conditions is 3.5 inches water column for natural gas and 10 inches water column for propane. When the stove is installed at elevations above 4,500ft, and in the absence of specific recommendations from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each additional 1,000ft.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.

This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.

Maximum input is 25,000 BTU/hr for natural gas and propane. Maximum output is 20,500 BTU/hr at an efficiency of 82%.

Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing and operating the stove.

Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.

Provided that the clearance to combustibles are achieved, the most desirable and beneficial location for a Napoleon® stove is in the centre of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the stove is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.

Rating Label Location: The rating label is located behind the control door and is chained to the stove.

DO NOT REMOVE.
