DRAFT CONTROL

ALWAYS OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED EXCEPT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other forces.
Adjusting the draft control regulates the temperature. The draft can be adjusted from a low burn rate with the
air control on the low setting to a fast burn rate with the air control on the high setting (far right position).
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffi ng into the room and may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much
draft may cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or an uncontrollable
burn which can all lead to a chimney fi re or a permanent damage to the appliance.
NOTE: Remove all source of gasoline or other fl ammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or
other appliances prior to lighting.
Roll up some newspaper, light it and place it near the ap-
pliance fl ue until the chimney begins to draw. When a fi re
is burning, open the door slowly to avoid drawing smoke
into the room.
A properly installed Napoleon appliance should not
smoke.
If yours does, check the following: Has the chimney had
time to get hot? Are the air intake hoods blocked closed?
Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appli-
ance or chimney? 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 short a chimney, or a chimney too close to
trees or a higher roof?
