ENW415-1468 / A / 09.30.16237.0 OPERATIONYour Napoleon EPA listed product is a Hi-Tech appliance, designed with the most advanced technology. Theappliance is extremely airtight. It has an exclusive direct outside air supply (optional kit), a safety featuredesigned to prevent spillage, and to help keep your house free of carbon monoxide, in case of a downdrafting chimney or an internal negative pressure. This appliance requires periodic inspection and repair forproper operation. It is against federal regulations in the United States to operate this appliance in a mannerinconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.The first fire(s) in your appliance will be difficult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat beinggenerated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fire brick. During the break-in period (the first2 or 3 fires) create only small, fires using kindling; this will allow the firebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if smallhairline cracks develop in the firebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. Thepaint may also smell a little for the first few fires as it cures and it is recommended to open a door or window toalleviate the smell.To start, a brisk fire is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the floor of the appliance and cover withdry kindling. Open the air control fully by pulling the lever forward. Light the paper and leave the door slightlyajar (one inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed must be established andmaintained.During the refueling and rekindling of a cool fire, or a fire that has been burned down to the charcoal phase,operate the appliance at a medium to high firing rate for about 10 minutes to ensure the temperature reaches600°F (315°C).Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed witha 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 refuelling will reduce the firebox temperature andresult in an unsatisfactory burn.) Remember it is more efficient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuelfrequently than to load the appliance with large logs that result in a smouldering, inefficient fire and dirty glass.!
