THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST
NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS
SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH
Your Napoleon EPA listed product is a Hi-Tech appliance, designed with the most advanced technology.
The appliance is extremely airtight. It has an exclusive direct outside air supply (optional kit), a safety
feature designed to prevent spillage, and to keep your house free of carbon monoxide, in case of a down
drafting chimney or an internal negative pressure. This appliance requires periodic inspection and repair for
proper operation. It is against federal regulations in the United States to operate this appliance in a manner
inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
The first fire(s) in your appliance will be difficult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being
generated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fire brick. During the break-in period (the
first 2 or 3 fires) create only small, fires using kindling; this will allow the firebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed
if small hairline cracks develop in the firebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety
hazard. The paint may also smell a little for the first few fires as it cures and it is recommended to open a
door or window to alleviate the smell.
To start, a brisk fire is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the floor of the appliance and cover with dry
kindling. Open the draft control fully by pulling the lever forward. Light the paper and leave the door slightly
ajar (one inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed must be established and
maintained.
During the refueling and rekindling of a cool fire, or a fire that has been burned down to the charcoal phase,
operate the appliance at a medium to high firing rate for about 10 minutes to ensure the temperature reaches
600°F (315°C).
Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed
with a shallow trench between, so that the primary air can flow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel
above. When the fire seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have
caught fire, carefully close the door. (Closing the door too quickly after refuelling will reduce the firebox
temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.) Remember it is more efficient to burn medium sized
wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the appliance with large logs that result in a smouldering,
inefficient fire and dirty glass.
