General Information - Napoleon S25 Installation And Operation Manual

• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door every 5-10
minutes.
• For the first two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide open for
an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and firebricks. The initial
heat output will be reduced while the moisture is being drawn from the appliance and it will be necessary
to build several hot fires to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS DO NOT OVERFIRE THE
APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLIANCE IF THE APPLIANCE
OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.

WARNING
!
• Do not operate this appliance without the pedestal installed.
This appliance was specifically designed over many months of research to meet the 2020 U.S.A. EPA particulate
emission standards and has been extensively tested in Canadian laboratories. This sytem is the most efficient, simple
and trouble-free we know and works as follows:
Secondary air from the rear opening 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 lower combustion chamber is lined with high
temperature firebricks on 2 sides, the back and
across the bottom, with a layer of fibre baffles at the
top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion
chamber so that gases mixing with the preheated air
from the secondary air manifold tube are easily ignited
and burned. The appliance sides and back are shielded
to direct the heat upwards and forwards into the room.
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, clothes dryer or a bathroom exhaust blower.
After extended periods of non-operation such as
following a vacation or a warm weather season, the
appliance may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This
is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off.
Open a window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
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 appliance.
Do not use makeshift compromises during installation. Do not block or restrict air, grille, or louvre openings. Do
not add a hood. Burning your appliance with the door open or ajar creates a fire hazard that may result in a house
and/or chimney fire.
All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney manufacturer's installation instructions.
Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum requirements.
Your appliance must be installed in accordance with all national and local building code standards and the
standard of Chimney and Appliances, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances NFPA #211. Consult the authority
having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department,
fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc.) to determine the
need to obtain a permit. If you are in doubt about the proper
installation for your situation, contact your dealer or local
building or fire official. The manufacturer does not guarantee
that this appliance and its options will completely heat your
entire home.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and to be expected.
It is recommended that in all cases, including when using an outside air kit, the appliance be secured to the floor.
