Napoleon 1100C, Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

11

W415-0512 / B / 11.15.05

With stove and chimney installation completed, move the

bricks into place by working as illustrated for your unit on

page 10.

1.

 Install two or three courses of brick on both sides  of the

unit. Install two courses on the back wall. Install the final

course of bricks on the back wall. These bricks are held in

place by a brick retainer. Before installing the bricks, loosen

the screw holding the retainer and ensure that it has been

moved forward. Insert the final two bricks behind the re-

tainer and while still holding the bricks in place, slide the

retainer snugly into place. Retighten the screw.

2.

 1900 only:

Place the stainless steel support onto the top row of the

bricks as illustrated on page 10.

Pivot the 2 piece baffle up and onto the support, then

slide them over and onto the flange of the manifold. En-

sure that the overlaps are interlocked to close the gap.

Push the baffles to the rear of the firebox. Repeat for

the opposite side.

3.

 Carefully pivot fibre baffle up onto the top of the side

brick. Slide it over onto the flange of the manifold.

Ensure that the top baffles are pushed all the way to the

rear of the firebox, leaving a minimum of a 1 inch gap

along the front. This will allow the flue gases to escape the

firebox

.

4.

 Install the bottom bricks, working from the back of the

unit.

5.

 Install the 2 bricks along the front.

NOTE: DO NOTE OPERATE IF BAFFLE AND MANIFOLD SHEILD

ARE NOT IN POSITION

Insert the ornamental trivet into the space on the stove top.

Hang the door using the hinge pins supplied. Twist the

large wire handle over the end of the handle rod.

Twist the smaller wire

handle over the end of

the air damper rod be-

low the door. Install ash

pan pull handle using

screws and washers.

See 

FIGURE 26.

Ensure that the pedestal surfaces are

clean and dry; peel the protective

backing from the trim adhesive. In-

sert one end of the brass trim into

one of the slots located in the ped-

estal and pressing firmly, proceed

around to the other slot. Cut trim to

size. Attach the rear knockout plate

(located inside the ash pan for ship-

ping purposes).

TRIVET

CAUTION:  

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern

fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such
liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of  5” from the front face.

Your Napoleon EPA listed product is a Hi-Tech unit, de-

signed with the most advanced technology. The unit is ex-

tremely airtight. It has an exclusive direct outside air supply

(optional kit), a safety feature designed to prevent spillage,

and to keep your house free of carbon monoxide, in case of

a downdrafting chimney or an internal negative pressure.

The first fire(s) in your unit will be difficult to get going and

keep going with little amount of heat being generated. This

is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fire brick.

Allow 30 to 40 hours of hot fires ( temperatures in excess of

500°F - 600°F) before your unit will perform normally. Dur-

ing the break-in period (the first 2 or 3 fires) create only

small, hot fires using kindling; this will allow the firebrick to

cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in

the firebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not

pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a little for

the first few fires as it cures and you may wish to open a

door or window to alleviate the smell.

To start, a brisk fire is required. Place loosely crumpled

paper on the floor of the stove and cover with dry kindling.

Open the draft control fully by pulling the lever forward. Light

the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one inch) until all

kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed

must be established and maintained.

Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces

lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a

shallow trench between, so that the primary air can flow

directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the

fire seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be

added. Once these logs have caught fire, carefully close

the door. (Closing the door too quickly after refueling will

reduce the firebox temperature and result in an unsatisfac-

tory burn.) Remember it is more efficient to burn medium

sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the

fireplace with large logs that result in a smouldering, inef-

ficient fire and dirty glass.

As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in

the flame pattern. The flames will get smaller and lazier be-

cause less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber.

The flames, however, are more efficient. The flames will re-

main lazy but become larger again as soon as the firebricks

have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes

heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fire

that you see when the door is opened is wastefully drawing

heated room air up the chimney -- certainly not desirable.

Always operate with the door fully closed once the medium

sized logs have caught fire.
