Extended Fire; Smoking; Maintenance - Napoleon W415-1467 / A Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

7.5.2 EXTENDED FIRE

Load your larger pieces of wood so they are tightly packed, close enough to prevent the fl ames from
penetrating it completely. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft
control completely making sure that the fi re is not extinguished.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!
Overfi ring can occur by:
A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood;
B. Vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open) for long periods of
time (one or two hours).
C. Operating the appliance with the ash dump door blocked open or a poor gasket seal on the main door.

SMOKING

A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:
• Has the chimney had time to get hot?
• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?
• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.
• Is the smoke fl ow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of a
chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
• Is the moisture content of the wood greater than 20%?
• If equipped, has the catalyst bypass been closed or closed prematurely?

8.0 MAINTENANCE

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.
Check your chimney and chimney connector for creosote and soot buildup weekly until a safe frequency for
cleaning is established.
If accumulation is excessive, disconnect the appliance and clean both the chimney and the appliance. You
may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to be cleaned at least once a year
or as often as necessary.
Remove fi bre baffl es and clean above them once a year. Replace any broken bricks.
!
TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
