REAR BURNER CONTROL

The purpose of the rear burner is to increase heat output or BTUs of the unit and will
only operate when the main burner is functioning. To turn the rear burner on, simply
depress the burner control knob (located in the valve compartment at the left hand
side below the piezo ignitor) and rotate the knob counter-clockwise to 'high'.
In order to achieve maximum turn down rate, the rear burner must be turned off.

5.0 MAINTENANCE

TURN OFF THE GAS AND UNPLUG ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE FIREPLACE INSERT!
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This insert and its venting system should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualifi ed service person. The fi replace area must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline or other fl ammable vapours and liquids. The fl ow of combustion and ventilation air
must not be obstructed.
5.0.1 In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs exposing both assemblies.
5.0.2 Keep the control compartment, logs, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs clean by
vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
5.0.3 Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or are not
burning properly.
5.0.4 Check to see that the pilot fl ame is large enough to engulf the thermocouple on one leg and reaches toward the
burner on the other leg.
5.0.5 Replace the cleaned logs.
5.0.6 Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when the gas knob for the burner is turned on.
A 5-10 second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your Authorized dealer/distributor.
5.0.7 Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing. Replace if necessary.

6.0 REPLACEMENT BLOWER INSTALLATION

The Napoleon® gas fi replace insert comes standard with a blower, a heat sensor, variable on/off speed control
and a power cord. Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned on, it will automatically start approxi-
mately 15 minutes after lighting the fi replace and will run for approximately 30 minutes after the fi replace has
been turned off. Use of the fan increases the output of heat. Air, drawn in through the lower slot, is driven up
the back of the fi rebox, and exhausted as hot air through the upper slot.
6.0.1 Turn off the electrical power and the gas supply to the fi replace insert.
6.0.2 Remove the fi re viewing door. Remove the logs,
log support and back wall.
6.0.3 Remove the blower
access door held on
with 10 screws.
Replace the blower
access door gasket
when changing the
blower.
