In the United States: While it is not required, it is rec-
ommended that a chimney liner be installed that is con-
tinuous from the insert to the top of the chimney, particu-
larly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this
type of connection, use the "In Canada" installation instruc-
tions above.
In the United States, continued:
If a continuous liner is not installed, a "direct flue connec-
tion" must be made. The direct flue connection requires 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 products 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.
The following installation requirements must be observed
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 surrounding
this insert as identified in Figure 10 must be followed.
These clearance requirements supersede any pre-exist-
ing 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 attached
to the insert flue collar and the chimney top.
4. Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to
the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may be accom-
plished 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 louvres or
cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifi-
cally tested as such for each factory built fireplace manu-
facturer and model line. (Note - using a louvred face plate
(surround) complies with this requirement)
6. Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted
with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect the operation
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 sup-
plied 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.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings,
causing irreparable damage. Care must be taken to pre-
vent drywall dust from coming into contact with the
blower or its compartment. Any damage resulting from
this condition is not covered by the warranty policy.
Use of the blower increases the output of heat.
Provisions have been made on the stove to install an op-
tional blower kit (EP62-1) that comes complete with a vari-
able speed switch to turn the blower on and off, as well as
adjusting the blower speed. An optional thermostatic sen-
sor control kit, EP36, to thermally activate the blower is
also available.
Note: if the optional blower ( EP62-1) is installed, the
blower guard (W320-0011) must
must must must 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.
The 1401 insert comes equipped with two blowers, while
the 1101 has one blower. These blowers are thermally ac-
tivated. Depending on the intensity of the fire, the blowers
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 blowers to cycle on and off. To control this,
either build your fire up evenly or turn down the blowers
until the right side of the firebox is hot.
