Napoleon 1100C, Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

W415-0512 / B / 11.15.05

Except for their different depths, models 1100, 1150, 1400,

1900 and the fireplace inserts 1101 and 1401 are identical

and use the same burning principles. They were specifi-

cally designed over many months of research to meet the

1990 U.S.A. EPA  particulate emission standards and have

been extensively tested in Canadian and American labora-

tories. This system is the most efficient, simple and trouble

free we know and works as follows:

Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom

covered by a single draft control. Air from the front hole

goes up on either side of the door into a preheating airwash

located across the top and then down the window to feed

the fire and also to ensure that the glass remains clean. Air

from this hole also feeds directly into the combustion cham-

ber at hearth level. Secondary air from the rear hole 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 combustion chamber is lined with high temperature

firebrick on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom, with a

layer of fibre baffles at the top to maintain a high tempera-

ture in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with

the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are

easily ignited and burned. The stove 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 or a bath-

room exhaust fan.

Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving an-
other appliance.

Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cool-

ing down cycles are normal and to be expected.

After extended periods of non-operation such as following

a vacation or a warm weather season, the fireplace may

emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust

particles on the firebox burning off. Open a window to suf-

ficiently ventilate the room.

CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which
contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.

PEDESTAL MODELS ONLY

If the outside air feature of the stove is utilized, you should

never experience a shortage of combustion air. If you

choose not to utilize outside air and experience draft or

smoking problems, you may need to open a door or win-

dow.

WARNING:  Burning your unit with the ash dump
door open or ajar creates a fire hazard that may
result in discoloration to the gold plated door, in-
ternal damage to the stove or a house and/
or chimney fire.

To ensure that the ash dump door is tightly closed, allow

the door to snap shut dislodging anything (ashes or pieces

of coal) that may be stuck in the opening.

LEG MODELS ONLY

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 unit.

Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean these parts. Buff

lightly with a clean dry cloth.

Prolonged high temperature burning with the door ajar may

cause a permanent rainbowing effect on  the lower edge of

a gold plated door.

Porcelain enamel components must be handled with care.

The baked-on finish is "glass". If struck, it will chip. Touch-

up paint is available through your Napoleon dealer.

If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and
/ or blemishes may result. Normally a hot fire will clean the
glass. The most common reasons for dirty glass include;
not using sufficient fuel to get the stove thoroughly hot, us-
ing green or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is
insufficient air for complete combustion. If it is necessary
to clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive
cleaner.

DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT!

The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest
against it and always close the door gently. If the glass

should ever crack while the fire is burning, do not open the

door until the fire is out and do not operate the stove again

until the glass has been replaced with a new 5mm thick

plate of ceramic glass, available from your Napoleon / Wolf

Steel Ltd. dealer.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.

TO REMOVE THE GLASS:

 When the unit is cool, open the

door and remove the screws and brackets holding the
glass in place. Remove all broken glass. Wrap the edges
of the new glass with a U-shaped strip of fiberglass
gasket, covering 1/4" on each side. Place the glass with
the fiberglass gasket in position and replace the brackets
and screws. When finished, you should be able to move
the glass slightly, horizontally and vertically.
