WARNING:  
Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new room heater. Failure to  
follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death.  
If this unit is not properly installed, a house fire may result.  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Follow the installation directions. This unit can be very hot when burning. Combustible mate-  
rials such as firewood, wet clothing, etc. placed too close can catch fire. Adults and especially  
children should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away  
to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Keep young children and animals away when the fireplace  
is hot. The chimney must be sound and free of cracks. Before installing your unit, contact the  
local building or fire authority and follow their guidelines.  
The door must be kept closed during operation to prevent smoke, embers from entering the  
room. Burn wood directly on firebricks. Do not use a grate or elevate the fire. At least 14 square  
inches (90 sq.cm.) of outside air must be admitted to the room or directly to the unit through a  
4 inch (10cm.) diameter pipe. This unit is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies  
and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as com-  
pared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. Do not start a fire with chemicals or  
fluids such as gasoline, engine oil, etc. Do not burn treated wood, coal, charcoal, coloured  
paper, cardboard, solvents or garbage which tend to produce more pollution than wood. Do  
not let the unit become hot enough for any part to glow red.  
KEEP THE STOVE TOP TEMPERATURE BELOW 700°F (371°C). Attempts to achieve heat output  
rates that exceed design specifications can result in steel distortion and damage.

PEDESTAL MODELS ONLY  
GENERAL INFORMATION  
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.  
Except for their different depths, models 1100, 1150, 1400,  
1900 and the fireplace inserts 1101, 1401, and 1402 are  
identical and use the same burning principles. They were  
specifically 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  
laboratories. 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.  
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.  
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.  
CARE OF ALL PLATED AND ENAMELED PARTS  
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.  
CARE OF GLASS  
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.  
FIGURE 1  
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.  
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.  
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.  
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.  
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:  
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.  
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.

to the legs.  
CHIMNEY CONNECTION  
A 6” diameter single wall stove pipe, used to connect the  
stove to the chimney, must be installed with the crimped  
end toward the stove. This will ensure that the moisture  
which condenses from the burning wood will flow back into  
the fire chamber. Each joint in the stove pipe must be se-  
cured with at least three sheet metal screws.  
ALCOVE INSTALLATION  
This room heater must be connected to:  
Model 1100 only may be installed, using a listed double  
wall connector, such as Security DL6 in Canada, the

nector manufacturer for any spe-  
cific requirements.  
DO NOT USE ANY MAKESHIFT MATERIALS DUR-  
ING INSTALLATION.  
1. Move the stove into position with the flue centered, mid-  
point between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use  
a plumb bob to line up the centre.  
2. Cut and frame an opening in the roof to provide a 2"  
clearance between the outside of the chimney and any  
combustible material.  
DO NOT FILL THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF  
MATERIAL.
