- This appliance is designed to burn natural wood only.
Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result
when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared
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 trash or garbage, lawn clippings / waste,
rubber, waste petroleum products, paints or paint
thinners / solvents, plastic, materials containing asbestos,
construction debris, railroad ties or treated wood,
manure or animal remains, salt water driftwood or salted
materials, unseasoned wood, coal, charcoal, coloured
paper, cardboard, plywood or particleboard. Burning these
materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the
appliance ineffective and cause smoke.
- Do not let the appliance become hot enough for any part
to glow red.

2.3 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before beginning installation, consult with local building code agencies / fire officials and insurance
representatives to ensure compliance.
Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process. To help dissipate smoke, open windows or
doors near the appliance.
Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before firing the appliance, as the paint will become
soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on the appliance,
burn the appliance moderately hot during the first few fires.
To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, open the door every 5 to 10 minutes.
For the first 2 weeks, use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide open for
30 minutes as the appliance goes through the process of eliminating moisture in the steel and firebricks. The
initial heat output will be minimal while the moisture is being drawn from the appliance. For this reason, it will
be necessary to build several hot fires to remove the moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS, DO NOT OVER
FIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLIANCE IF IT OR THE
CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.
This appliance was specifically designed to meet the July 1990 particulate emission standards and has been
extensively tested in Canadian and US laboratories to be efficient, simple, and trouble free.
The appliance uses clean-burning technology found in all Napoleon EPA certified stoves equipped with a heat
circulating blower. External modifications have been made to allow its installation as a “functional insert” with a heat
circulating blower system, as well as a means of enclosing the solid fuel burning fireplace cavity for greater heating
efficiency.
The appliance must only be installed into a solid fuel burning fireplace that is at least 18” (45.7cm) deep, 27”
(68.6cm) wide, and 22” (55.9cm) high with an approved lined chimney at least 15’ (4.6m) high and a hearth at least
18” (45.7cm) wide for Canada and 16” (40.6cm) wide for USA. This minimum recess can only be achieved if the
opening height is sufficient enough to allow the connector to fit under the non-combustible facing. The appliance and
chimney must be constructed in accordance with all national and local building code standards.
2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION
4.7
ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
LOCAL CODES. IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, USE THE CURRENT CSA22.1 CANADIAN
ELECTRIC CODE IN CANADA OR THE CURRENT NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 IN
THE UNITED STATES.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH ANY VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO
REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR PREVENT INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL A VENTED OR UNVENTED GAS LOG
SET INTO THE APPLIANCE.
BURNING YOUR UNIT WITH THE ASH DUMP DOOR OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT
MAY RESULT IN DISCOLOURATION TO THE GOLD PLATED DOOR, INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE
APPLIANCE OR A HOUSE CHIMNEY FIRE.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
THIS APPLIANCE AND IT’S COMPONENTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED AND OPERATED AS A
SYSTEM. ANY ALTERATION TO OR SUBSTITUTION FOR ITEMS IN THIS SYSTEM, UNLESS ALLOWED
BY THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, WILL VOID THE LISTING AND MAY VOID THE PRODUCT
WARRANTY. IT MAY ALSO CREATE A HAZARDOUS INSTALLATION. READ THROUGH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING YOUR INSTALLATION AND FOLLOW THEM
CAREFULLY THROUGHOUT YOUR PROJECT.

2.5 E.P.A. COMPLIANCE
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
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.
If the appliance begins smoking, open a door or window, or
supply the appliance with combustion air in some other way.
We suggest that our woodburning hearth products
be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institute® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).
AIR INLET PATH
EXHAUST PATH
The chimney vent system used on this wood burning
appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the flow of exhaust products.
Chimney vent systems that are too short or too long can also
have an adverse affect on the flow of exhaust.
The wood burning appliance and chimney vent system
require a sufficient supply of combustion air, not only to
support the combustion in the combustion chamber, but to
replace the outbound exhaust.
Secondary air from the side intake openings travels up to
the secondary air housing, and then to the manifold located
across the top. Finally, it flows out laterally to oxidize the
gases below the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
refractory firebricks on the sides, back, and bottom. A
fibre baffle on top helps maintain a high temperature in
the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the
preheated air from the secondary air manifold tubes are
easily ignited and burned.
There are many other appliances in the home competing
with the appliance for air, such as kitchen range hoods,
forced air heating devices, and bathroom exhaust fans.
Therefore, in order to avoid fire hazards and/or injuries, be
sure to provide sufficient combustion air to the appliance.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation (i.e. vacation, warm weather season, etc.), the appliance may emit
a slight odour for a few hours as a result of dust particles in the firebox burning off. If this happens, open a
window to sufficiently ventilate the room.
Model EPI3 meets the 2015 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) Crib Wood Emission limits for
wood stoves sold after May 15, 2015, 40 C.F. R. Part 60. These appliances have been tested and listed by

With K values, the lower value is a better insulator. With R values, the higher number is better.
K-Value Example:
A wood stove may call for thermal protection which has a K factor of 1 or less. A product
such as Micore 300 Board from USG has a K-Value of approximately .43 per inch.
Therefore, a 1/2” (12.7mm) thickness of this board would have a K-Value of .86, which
meets the requirement of our example stove.
R-Value Example:
This fi replace calls for thermal protection with an R-Value of 0.59. This same board
above is rated as having an R-Value of 2.33 for a 1” (25.4mm) thickness. Therefore,
1/2” (12.7mm) of the Micore 300 Board would have a R-value of 1.165, which meets
the specifi cations for this fi replace.
3.2 HEARTH EXTENSION/FLOOR PROTECTION
Hearth extensions / floor protection must be made of non-combustible materials. They must meet the
following specifications:
• Minimum extension to the front of the insert:
- Canada: 18” (45.7cm)
- USA: 16” (40.6cm)
• Minimum 8” (203mm) extension to the sides of the insert
• Minimum 0.5” (13mm) thickness

A. Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it permanently open.
NOTE: It is recommended to follow the 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 (0.6mm) sheet metal
(flue cover). Cut a 6” (152.4mm) hole to lie directly below the fireplace flue opening. Allow 2” (50.8mm)
of material on all sides (to act as flanges) and cut to these measurements. Bend down the flanges.
TIP: If inexperienced in doing this, make and test a cardboard pattern first.
Fasten this flue cover in position as high as possible. Using 2 masonry screws per side, insert them
through the flanges into the fireplace.
C. Permanently seal any openings between the fireplace masonry and the facing masonry.
In Canada: This fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6” (152.4mm) diameter
extending from the fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3
requirements of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys
and Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys. It must be installed as
follows:
A. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner, and insert onto the flue collar.
B. Fasten with 3 screws.
C. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney flashing.
D. Cap the top of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.
This appliance can be installed using an
existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the
guidelines below.
If using a masonry chimney, ensure it is
built in compliance with local building code
specifications.
It is recommended to line the chimney with fire
clay bricks, or metal or clay tiles sealed together

4.2 INSTALLING THE EPI3
A. Flue collar orientation
Prior to installation, determine the type of orientation that works best with this appliance.
The flue collar’s orientation can be vertical. It can also be a 30° backwards angle by rotating the flue collar
180° at the top of the appliance.
It is recommended to clean the chimney from the top downwards. This will ensure that the centre bar of the
flue collar protects the inside baffle from any damages caused by the chimney brush. However, if cleaning
must be done from inside the home, use a reciprocating metal cutting saw or hack saw to cut the centre bar
inside the flue collar.
B. Installing a venting system
NOTE: It is recommended that the connector or flue liner be installed before continuing with the
installation. See Figure 1 for venting system components.
1. Remove the front air tube to gain access to the fiber baffle, and then remove the fiber baffle.
2. Remove the iron flue collar from the appliance. Ensure gasket is in place and in good condition.
3. Drill 3 holes into the adapter pipe or flue liner, using the holes in the iron collar as a guide. Secure
the adapter pipe (or flue liner) to the flue collar. Ensure the studs on the flue collar are properly
aligned to their respective holes on the insert.
4. Repeat Step 3 to secure the flexible pipe to the pipe adaptor.
5. The finished height measurements from the hearth surface to the center bar of the flue collar should
be 19” (482.6mm). See Figure 2 for details on the installation of the connector pipe or liner. This
allows for an easy connection once the appliance is in place.

In USA: Though not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner that is continuous from the insert to
the top of the chimney be installed, 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. The installed flue
cover must be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion products in the
chimney flue. This room heater must be connected to a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. Cap
the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.
The installation requirements that follow must be observed when installing solid fuel burning inserts into factory-
built fireplaces.

6.0 OPERATION
!
WARNING
ALWAYS OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED EXCEPT DURING
START UP AND RE-FUELING. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT INJURY. DO NOT LEAVE THE
FIRE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLATCHED AS UNSTABLE WOOD COULD FALL OUT OF
THE FIRE CHAMBER CREATING A FIRE HAZARD TO YOUR HOME.
NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHEN THERE IS A FIRE BURNING IN THE APPLIANCE.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,
OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR ‘FRESHEN UP’ A FIRE IN THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH
LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN USE.
OBJECTS PLACED IN FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE KEPT A MINIMUM OF 48”
FROM THE FRONT FACE.
ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE
TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED BREACHING CSA B365 (CANADA) AND ANSI NFPA 211 (USA).
OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS. WEAR GLOVES TO OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE.
BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD
THAT MAY RESULT IN A HOUSE AND OR CHIMNEY FIRE.
THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST
NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS
SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
This Napoleon EPA listed product is designed with the most advanced technology. The appliance is extremely airtight.
NOTE: The first fire(s) in this appliance will be difficult to get and keep going with minimal heat being
generated. This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fire brick. During the break-in period (i.e.
the first 2 or 3 fires), create only small fires using kindling, as this will allow the firebrick to cure.
WARNING: Creating a brisk fire during the break-in period could result in fire hazards, including explosions.
Use caution.
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 emit an odour for the first few fires as a result of the curing process. If this
happens, open a window or door to ensure adequate ventilation.
CREATING A BRISK FIRE (AFTER APPLIANCE HAS CURED)
A. Place loosely crumpled paper on the bottom of the appliance and cover with dry kindling.
B. Open the air control fully by sliding it all the way to the left.
C. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (no more than 1” (25.4mm)) until all kindling is burning.
NOTE: To maintain a brisk fire, a hot coal bed must be established and sustained.
D. Slowly add larger pieces of wood (i.e. 2x4” pieces). Lay them lengthwise in the hot coal bed with a shallow
trench between, as this will allow air to flow into the trench and ignite the fuel.
E. When the fire has reached its peak, begin adding medium-sized logs. When these logs have caught fire,
carefully close the door.
NOTE: Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the firebox temperature and result in an
unsatisfactory burn.

W415-1773 / A / 11.23.17
19
EN
TIP: It is more efficient to burn medium-sized wood briskly and to refuel frequently than to burn large logs and
refuel infrequently. Large logs create smoulding, inefficient fires that dirty the glass.
NOTE: As soon as the door is closed, a change will occur 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 is visible when
the door is opened is wastefully drawing heated room air up the chimney. Always operate with the door fully
closed once the medium-sized logs have caught fire. Operating the appliance with the door open for extended
periods of time may result in damages to the appliance.
E. Begin adding larger pieces of wood, as the appliance can operate normally at this point.
F. The firebox can be safely filled with wood to the top of the door opening if a 1/4” (6.4mm) space to
secondary air tubes is maintained.
NOTE: 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 baffles.
6.1 OPTIMUM BURN METHOD
A. Maintain a hot, glowing, red coal bed that is 2” (50.8mm) deep.
B. Burn dry seasoned wood.
TIP: To ensure the glass door remains clean, wood should have less than 20% moisture
content.
C. A minimal trace of smoke coming from the chimney is acceptable when the appliance is burning as
intended.
D. Inspect and replace all necessary components (i.e. gaskets, manifolds, glass, etc.) as they may affect
the appliance’s overall performance.
E. Adjust the air control for adequate draft. This will control the burn rate and temperature of the
appliance.
Refer to “OPERATION” and “MAINTENANCE” sections for detailed information.
Refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” section if encountering problems with operation.

W415-1773 / A / 11.23.17

EN
Draft is the force which moves air from the firebox up through the chimney. The amount of draft in the chimney
depends on the length and diameter of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, etc.
Adjusting the air control all the way to the right reduces the temperature. The draft can be adjusted from low
to high by moving the handle from right to left. 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 the appliance to become too hot. Glowing red appliance parts or chimney
connectors, as well as uncontrollable burns, can lead to chimney fires or permanent damage to the appliance.
Do not operate the appliance for longer than 30 minutes with the air control on “HIGH” (fully open).
