W415-0872 / B / 12.02.10
2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION
• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fire officials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.
• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.
• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before firing the appliance as the paint will be-
come soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your
appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the first few fires.
• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.
• For the first two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and fire-
bricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is bring drawn from the appliance and
it will be necessary to build several hot fires to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS DO
NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLI-
ANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.
Your 1402 insert must be installed only into a solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 14 inches deep 26 inches wide
and 22 inches high with an approved lined chimney at least 15 feet high (4.6m) and a hearth of 16”. This minimum
recess can only be achieved if the opening height is sufficient enough to allow the connector to fit under the noncom-
bustible facing. The appliance and chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national and local building code
standards.
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily flow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the
flow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a sufficient supply
of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it
so it can flow freely up through the vent system and out into
the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air
and the chimney vent system that will ensure the appliance
provides you with its optimum performance.
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 air-
wash 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 com-
bustion chamber 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,

Your appliance was specifically designed to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA particulate emission standards and has
been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is the most efficient, simple and
trouble free we know and works as follows:
Your appliance is the exact duplication of the clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon EPAcertified freestand-
ing stoves and in particular that of the EPA1400. External modifications have been made to allow its installation as a
“functional insert” with a heat circulating blower system and a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fireplace cavity
for greater heating efficiency.

W415-0872 / B / 12.02.10
We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institue® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).
with a layer of fibre baffles at the top to maintain a high temperature in the combustion chamber so that gases
mixing with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold tube are easily ignited and burned. The appli-
ance 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 bathroom exhaust fan.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling 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 appliance
may emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off. Open a
window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
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 appliance.
HINT FOR INSTALLING PORCELAIN ENAMEL INSERTS:
Ensure the base of the porcelain side panels are protected from rubbing against the hearth when sliding your
insert into the masonry fireplace.

3.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING
Clean all ashes out of the inside of the existing fireplace opening. Make sure that the chimney and fireplace are
free of cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits, blockage or other signs of deterioration. If necessary, have any
repair work done by a qualified professional before installing the insert.
Do NOT remove bricks or mortar from the fireplace. In case of an outside air inlet or ash dump, fill with fiber-
glass insulation. Adhere to minimum clearances as illustrated.
Do NOT place any combustible materials (furniture, firewood, etc.) within 48” in front of 36” at the sides of the insert.
Combustible material must not protrude more than 1” to the side of the insert or between the mantel and the
top of the insert.

WARNING
WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES FOR PROTECTION.
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY OF THE PIPE AND OTHER PARTS
NEEDED TO INSTALL THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, ESPECIALLY IF
COMBUSTIBLES ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES ARE
BLOCKED, PREVENTING THE FREE MOVEMENT OF COOLING AIR.
DO NOT DRAW OUTSIDE AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS OF GASOLINE ENGINES ARE
HAZARDOUS.
DO NOT INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS SUCH THAT THE AIR MAY BE DRAWN FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASEMENTS
OR ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER HEATING APPLIANCES OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST OR UTILIZE
AIR. THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLIANCE SMOKING OR AIR FLOW REVERSAL.
THE OUTSIDE AIR INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR OF LEAVES, DEBRIS ICE AND/OR SNOW. IT MUST BE UNRE-
STRICTED WHILE APPLIANCE IS IN USE TO PREVENT ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILL-
AGE AND AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO SET OFF SMOKE ALARMS.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY INADVERTENTLY AFFECT YOUR APPLIANCE.
TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED
AGAINST VAPOUR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE
COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION. DO NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT AIR, GRILLE OR
LOUVRE OPENINGS. DO NOT ADD A HOOD.
KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION, SHARPEN CUTTING EDGES AND MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE
SECURE.
ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT FIRES.
Chimney and liner must be in good condition and kept clean.

You can install your appliance using your existing masonry chimney. To do
so, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a masonry chimney, it
is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the
Building Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fire clay
bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. (Round
flues are the most efficient).

A. Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it permanently open.
* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner.
B. * Measure the throat of the fireplace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (flue cov-
er); cut a six-inch (6.75”) hole to lie directly below the fireplace flue opening.Allow two inches of material
for a flange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the flanges. If you have never done
this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it first. Fasten this flue cover in
position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the flanges into the fireplace.
In Canada: Install a listed 6 inch diameter flexible stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney to the insert
flue collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and insert onto the flue collar. Fasten with
three screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney flashing. Cap the
top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.
In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is continu-
ous from the insert to the top of the chimney, particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this type
of connection, use the “In Canada” installation instructions above.
If a continuous liner is not installed, a “direct flue connection” 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.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO
NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

An optional low clearance flue connector is available to facilitate hook up into a tight fitting fireplace. Consult your
local dealer for details.
NOTE: This kit should be used in conjunction with a dripless connector between the flue collar and flex
liner.
A. Having ensured that the chimney is thoroughly
clean, install the flex liner. Insert a dripless
connector into the flue collar. Attach the flex liner
to other end of the adapter. Secure using 6 - #8
screws.
B. Coil the rope gasket around the insert flue collar
sealing the gap between the collar and the insert
top. Using 4 - #8 screws, attach the collar flange,
squeezing the gasket tightly into place.
C. Move the insert into place in the fireplace.
Maneuver the insert clips into the two slots
located on the insert top by reaching through the
insert flue collar from inside the insert.
D. Thread the #10 - 24 screw through the slot
located on the insert top and into the threaded
hole on the flue connector, allowing the flue connector to be drawn forward into place.
NOTE: Check for a good seal between the insert top and the flue connector (by holding a flashlight up
through the insert collar, etc.).
The following installation requirements must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory
built fireplaces.
A. The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.
B. Clearances to any combustible material surrounding this insert as identified must be followed. These
clearance requirements supersede any pre-existing facing material clearances listed for the factory
built fireplace.
C. Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting HT requirements (2100°F) as re-
quired in UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue
collar and the chimney top.
D. Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may
be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the appliance front.
E. The air flow within and around the appliance shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e.
no louvres 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 louvered face plate (surround)
complies with this requirement.
F. Alteration of the appliance in any manner is not permitted with the following exceptions;
A. External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the appliance 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.
G. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
H. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.
I. Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be supplied with appropriate support means.
J. 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. 80.2A

5.0 FINISHING
A. Install six (A) bricks along both sides of the appliance. Before installing the back bricks, loosen the
screw holding the retainer and ensure that it has been moved forward. Install the four (A) bricks and
two (D) bricks along the back wall by pivoting the bricks up under the brick retainer. Retighten the
screw. NOTE: Center (D) bricks have been cut.
B. Carefully pivot fibre baffle (H) up onto the top of the side brick. Slide it over onto the flange of the
manifold. Ensure that the top baffles are pushed all the way to the rear of the firebox, leaving a
minimum of a 1” gap along the front. This will allow the flue gases to escape the firebox.
C. Install the bottom six (A) bricks and two (B) bricks, working from the back of the appliance forward.
D. Install the two (B) bricks, one (E) brick and one (F) brick along the front.
NOTE: Do not operate if baffle and manifold shield are not in position.

WARNING
Your appliance is designed with the most advanced technology. The appliance is extremely airtight. It has an
exclusive direct outside air supply (optional kit), a safety feature designed to prevent spillage, and to keep your
house free of carbon monoxide, in case of a down drafting chimney or an internal negative pressure.
The first fire(s) in your appliance will be difficult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being
generated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fire brick.Allow 30 to 40 hours of hot fires
(temperatures in excess of 500°F - 600°F) before your appliance will perform normally. During the break-in
period (the first 2 or 3 fires) create only small, hot fires using kindling; this will allow the firebrick to cure. Do
not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in the firebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose
a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a little for the first few fires as it cures and you may wish to open a
door or window to alleviate the smell.
To start, a brisk fire is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the floor of the appliance and cover with dry
kindling. Open the draft control fully by pulling the lever forward. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar
(one inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed must be established and main-
tained.
Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with
a 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 and
result in an unsatisfactory burn.) Remember it is more efficient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel
frequently than to load the appliance with large logs that result in a smouldering, inefficient fire and dirty glass.
As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the flame pattern. The flames will get smaller and
lazier because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The flames, however, are more efficient.
The flames will remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the firebricks have been heated thoroughly
and the chimney becomes heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fire that you see when
the door is opened is wastefully drawing heated room air up the chimney -- certainly not desirable. Always
operate with the door fully closed once the medium sized logs have caught fire.

WARNING
6.1 BLOWER
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.
The 1402 inserts comes equipped with two blowers. These blowers are thermally activated. Depending on the
intensity of the fire, the blowers will start 15-30 minutes after lighting. The heat sensor is located on the right
hand side of the unit. 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.
You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot,
it will burn very efficiently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of orange coals in the firebox
and secondary flames flickering just below the top firebrick. You can safely fill the firebox with wood to the top
of the door and will get best burns if you keep the appliance pipe temperatures between 250 degrees Fahren-
heit (120 degrees Celsius) and 450 degrees Fahrenheit (270 degrees Celsius). A surface thermometer will help
regulate this.
Without a appliance thermometer, you are working blindly and have no idea of how the appliance is operat-
ing! An appliance thermometer offers a guide to performance and should be located 14” above the flue collar.
Install the thermometer according to manufacturers instructions.
Can’t get the fire going?
Use more kindling and paper. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is sufficient com-
bustion air, the lack of sufficiently dry quantities of small kindling is the problem. Thumb size is a good gauge
for small kindling diameter.
Can’t get heat out of the appliance?
One of two things may have happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and the appli-
ance itself has not reached optimum temperature. Reopen the door and/or draft control to re-establish a brisk
fire. The other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisture being
driven from the wood.
RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THIS APPLIANCE.
USE ONLY WOLF STEEL APPROVED OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH
THIS APPLIANCE. USING NON-LISTED ACCESSORIES (BLOWERS, DOORS, LOUVRES, TRIMS, ETC.)
COULD RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATION.
ENSURE THAT THE BLOWER’S POWER CORD IS NOT IN CONTACT WITH ANY SURFACE OF THE
APPLIANCE TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT RUN THE POWER
CORD BENEATH THE APPLIANCE.

6.2 AIR CONTROL
ASH LIP
6.3 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS / SMOKE DETECTORS
Draft is the force which moves air from the firebox up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length and diameter of chimney, local ge-
ography, nearby obstructions and other factors including the
amount of heat generated by the fire which can be meas-
ured by an appliance thermometer.
Adjusting the air control regulates the temperature. The draft
can be adjusted from a low burn rate with the handle in fully,
to a fast burn rate with the handle fully out.
Inadequate draft may cause back-puffing into the room
through the appliance and chimney connector points and
may cause plugging of the chimney. Too much draft may
cause an excessive temperature in the appliance, glowing red appliance parts or chimney connectors or an
uncontrollable burn which can lead to a chimney fire or permanent damage to the appliance.
Do not operate your appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open).
91.1
A
ll homes with a solid fuel burning appliance should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location,
known to all, and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the appliance. If it sounds an alarm,
correct the cause but do not de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.

6.4 FUEL
87.1A
When loading the appliance, ensure that the upper fibre baffles are not forced out of position. For maximum efficiency, when the
appliance is thoroughly hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at a medium low setting. The whiteness of the
bricks and the cleanliness of the glass are good indicators of your operating efficiency. Not enough heat is produced when only a
few pieces of wood are burned or the wood may not burn completely.
Fuel for the appliance must not be stored closer than the required clearances to combustibles (heat sensitive material).
NEVER STORE WOOD IN THE ASH PAN COMPARTMENT (if applicable).
NOTE: When loading the appliance, ensure to keep fuel back from the glass. If coals are to accumulate on the front lip,
there is a chance they will fall out when the door is opened.
Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been seasoned. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Freshly cut
wood contains about 50% moisture while after proper seasoning only about 20% of the water remains. As wood is burned, this
water boils off consuming energy that should be used in heating. The wetter the wood, the less heat is given off and the more
creosote is produced. Dry firewood has cracks in the end of the grain.
Both hardwood and softwood burn equally well in
this appliance but hardwood is denser, will weigh
more per cord and burn a little slower and longer.
Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner
that air can get to all parts of it and covered in
early spring to be ready for burning that fall. Dry
firewood has cracks in the end grain.
Cut the wood so that it will fit horizontally, front
to back, making for easier loading and less of a likelihood that the wood will roll
onto the glass.
DO’S
• Build a hot fire.
• Use only dry wood.
• Several pieces of medium sized wood are better
than a few big pieces.
• Clean chimney regularly.
• Refuel frequently using medium sized wood.
• “Fine Tune” the air settings for optimum perfor-
mance.
DONT’S
• Take ash out immediately. Let it accumulate to a
depth of at least one inch. Agood ash layer provides
for a longer lasting and better burning fire.
• Burn wet wood.
• Close the door too soon or damper down too quickly.
• Burn one large log rather than two or three smaller,
more reasonably sized logs.
• Burn at continually “low setting”, if glass door is
constantly blackened. This means the firebox
temperature is too low.
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN TREATED
WOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLOURED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR GARBAGE. THIS
APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE
OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.
HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS GENERALLY RESULT WHEN BURNING AIR DRIED
SEASONED HARDWOODS, AS COMPARED TO SOFTWOODS OR TOO GREEN OR FRESHLY CUT
HARDWOODS.
BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN
IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES, OR IN THE SPACE REQUIRED
FOR RE-FUELING AND ASH REMOVAL.
BURNING WET, UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE ACCUMULATION. WHEN
IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

W415-0872 / B / 12.02.10
93.1
A flash fire is a small fire burned quickly when you don't need much
heat. After your kindling has "caught", load at least 3 pieces of wood,
stacked loosely. Burn with the draft control fully open or closed only
slightly.
82.1
Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough to prevent the flames from penetrating it
completely. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load, close the draft control complete
-
ly making sure that the fire is not extinguished.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE!
Overfiring can occur by:
A. Burning large amounts of smaller wood pieces such as furniture scraps, skids or treated wood;
B. Vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on “HIGH” (fully open) for long periods of
time (one or two hours).
C. Operating the appliance with the ash dump door blocked open or a poor gasket seal on the main door.
• Has a direct flue connection been used rather than a chimney liner continuous from cap to appliance
flue collar.
83.1
A properly installed appliance should not smoke. If yours does, check the following:
• Has the chimney had time to get hot?
• Is the smoke passage blocked anywhere in the appliance, chimney connector or chimney?
• Is the room too airtight and the air intake not connected to the outside? Try with a window partly open.
• Is the smoke flow impeded by too long a horizontal pipe or too many bends?
• Is it a weak draft perhaps caused by a leaky chimney, a cold outside chimney, too large a diameter of a
chimney, too short a chimney, or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
