In the United States, continued:
If a continuous liner is not installed, a "direct flue con-
nection" must be made. The direct flue connection re-
quires a non-combustible connector that extends from
the insert into the chimney flue liner and also that the
installed flue cover be sealed below the entry point of
the connector to prevent dilution of combustion prod-
ucts in the chimney flue with air from inside the house.
Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.
1401 INSERT MODEL
An optional low clearance flue connector is available
to facilitate hook up into a tight fitting fireplace. Consult
your local dealer for details.
INSTALLATION INTO A FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE.
The following installation requirements must be ob-
served when installing solid fuel burning inserts into
factory built fireplaces.
1. The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL 127
or ULC S610.
2. Clearances to any combustible material surround-
ing this insert as identified in Figure 10 must be fol-
lowed. These clearance requirements supersede any
pre-existing facing material clearances listed for the
factory built fireplace.
3. Installation must include a full height listed chimney
liner meeting HT requirements (2100°F) per 1777 (U.S.)
or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely at-
tached to the insert flue collar and the chimney top.
4. Means must be provided to prevent room air pas-
sage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may
be accomplished by sealing the damper area around
the chimney liner, or sealing the fireplace front.
5. The air flow within and around the fireplace shall not
be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e. no lou-
vres or cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked),
unless specifically tested as such for each factory built
fireplace manufacturer and model line. (Note - using a
louvred face plate (surround) complies with this require-
ment)
6. Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not per-
mitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect the opera-
tion of the fireplace may be removed providing they
can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly
if the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to install
the chimney liner.
7. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner
or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
8. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to
clean the chimney flue.
9. Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be
supplied with appropriate support means.
10. A permanent metal warning label must be attached
to the back of the fireplace stating that the fireplace
must be restored to its original condition for safe use
without the insert.
OPTIONAL FAN
INSTALLATION
Drywall dust will penetrate into the fan bearings,
causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken
to prevent drywall dust from coming into contact
with the fan or its compartment. Any damage re-
sulting from this condition is not covered by the
warranty policy.
Use of the fan increases the output of heat.
STOVE MODELS: Provisions have been made on
the stove to install an optional blower kit (EP62-1) that
comes complete with a variable speed switch to turn
the blower on and off, as well as adjusting the blower
speed. An optional thermostatic sensor control kit,
EP36, to thermally activate the fan is also available.
LEG MODELS ONLY
Note: if the optional blower ( EP62-1) is installed,
the blower guard (W320-0011) must be installed.
This guard is available from your Napoleon dealer.
Attach the mounting bracket to the
blower assembly. Then attach the
mounting bracket to the back of your
stove, push on the variable speed
knob and plug into any grounded
electrical outlet.
INSERT MODELS:
The 1401 insert comes equipped with two fans, while
the 1101 has one fan. These fans are thermally acti-
vated. Depending on the intensity of the fire, the fans
will start 15-30 minutes after lighting. The heat sensor
for the 1401 is located on the right hand side of the unit
and the 1101 has a heat sensor located at the back on
the blower access door. When first starting the fire, the
sensor may be impeded by a large log or an unevenly
burning fire, causing the fans to cycle on and off. To
control this, either build your fire up evenly or turn down
the fans until the right side of the firebox is hot.
