Blower - Napoleon EPI 1101 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely
hot, it will burn very effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the
fi rebox and secondary fl ames fl ickering just below the top fi rebrick. You can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood to
the top of the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250 degrees
Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) and 450 degrees Fahrenheit (270 degrees Celsius). A surface thermometer
will help regulate this.
Without a appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operating!
An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance and should be located 14" above the fl ue collar.
Install the thermometer according to manufacturers instructions.
Can't get the fi re going?
Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is suffi cient
combustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb size is a good
gauge for small kindling diameter.
Can't get heat out of the appliance?
One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and the
appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/or draft control to re-establish a
brisk fi re. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisture
being driven from the wood.

BLOWER

TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.
USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH
THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES (BLOWERS, DOORS, LOUVRES, TRIMS, ETC.)
COULD RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATION.
ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER'S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE
APPLIANCE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings, causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to
prevent drywall dust from coming into contact with the blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from
this condition is not covered by the warranty policy. Use of the blower increases the output of heat.
The 1402 inserts comes equipped with two blowers, while the 1101 has one blower. These blowers are
thermally activated. Depending on the intensity of the fi re, the blowers will start 15-30 minutes after lighting.
The heat sensor for the 1402 is located on the right hand side of the unit and the 1101 has a heat sensor
located at the back on the blower access door. When fi rst starting the fi re, the sensor may be impeded by a
large log or an unevenly burning fi re, causing the blowers to cycle on and off. To control this, either build your
fi re up evenly or turn down the blowers until the right side of the fi rebox is hot.
