This is the most ef-
ficient, simple and
trouble free wood-
burning system we
know of and works
as follows:
Primary combustion air enters through the air control inlet box
regulated by a draft control, travels up the side through a duct
and enters the top centre of the combustion chamber into a
preheating airwash located across the top and then down
thewindowtofeedthereandalsotoensurethattheglass
remains clean.
Secondary air feeds directly into the combustion chamber at
hearth level through the log retainer and also through inlets lo-
cated at the bottom back corners of the combustion chamber.
This air travels up the riser to the four secondary air tubes
located at the top and shoots out laterally to oxidize the gases
rising to the smoke exit.
Thecombustionchamberislinedwithhigh-temperaturerebrick
on all sides, and across the bottom to maintain a high tempera-
ture in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing with the
preheated air from the secondary air tubes are easily ignited
andburned.Thereplacesidesandbackpermitazeroclear-
ance installation and direct the heat upwards and forwards
intotheroom.Besuretoprovidesufcient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.
If the outside air feature is utilized, you will 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 window.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a
vacation or a warmweatherseason,thereplacemayemit
a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust parti-
clesonthereboxburningoff.Openawindowtosufciently
ventilate the room.
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause can-
cer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Do not use makeshift compromises during
installation.Do not block or restrict air, grille or
louvre openings! Do not add a hood.
Burning your unit with the ash dump door open or
ajar creates a re hazard that may result in discol-
oration to the gold plated door, internal damage to
the replace or a house and/or chimney re.
All venting connections must be in compliance with the chimney
manufacturers installation instructions.
Clearances referred to throughout this manual are the minimum
requirements.
YourNapoleonreplacemustbeinstalledinaccordancewith
all national and local building code standards and the standard
of Chimney and Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appli-
ances NFPA #211. Consult the authority having jurisdiction (such
asmunicipalbuildingdepartment,redepartment,reprevention
bureau, etc.) to determine the need to obtain a permit. If you are
in doubt about the proper installation for your situation, contact
yourdealerorlocalbuildingorreofcial.Themanufacturerdoes
notguaranteethatthisreplaceanditsoptionswillcompletely
heat your entire home.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
down cycles are normal and to be expected.
Mobile home installation (NZ-26 ONLY) requires that
thereplacebesecuredtotheoor.Itisrecommendedthat
inallcases,thereplace be secured totheoor. Usethe
pallet packing brackets to accomplish this.
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and
/ or blemishes may result. Normallyahotrewillcleanthe
glass. The most common reasons for dirty glass include:
notusingsufcientfueltogetthestovethoroughlyhot,us-
ing green or wet wood, closing the draft so far that there is
insufcientairforcompletecombustion.Ifitisnecessaryto
clean the glass, use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner.
Do not clean the glass when hot!
The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall
against it and always close the door gently. Never force it
shut!
Iftheglassshouldevercrackwhilethereisburning,donot
openthedooruntilthereisoutanddonotoperatethestove
again until the glass has been replaced with a new 5mm thick
piece of ceramic glass, available from your Napoleon / Wolf Steel
Ltd. dealer. Do not substitute materials.
For information on glass removal and replacement, see
Maintenance.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean plated 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.

Tooperatethishi-efciencyreplaceasabasicsystem,the
blowerisnotrequired,however,toenhanceitsefciencya
blower is recommended.
A blower kit (NZ62) may be purchased with the op-
tion of adding up to one additional blower. These blowers
are installed in the bottom of the unit and are used to direct
theheatintotheroomwherethereplaceislocated.The
blowers are controlled, by a variable speed switch, located

used for constant heat, complete with automatic damper and
thermostat,wallmountedintheroomcontainingthereplace,
and at least 10 feet (minimum) from the replace.
A hot Air grAvity veNt system (NZ220) may be
used to distribute heat to an adjoining room (located either
above,orbesidetheroomcontainingthereplace)byway
of vents, eliminating the need of an additional blower. While
this system may be used in conjunction with the optional
blowers,itcouldreducetheowofhotairbeingdistributed
to additional rooms. It must be experimented with and the
dampers adjusted manually to suit your requirements. This
may take a few attempts; thereafter adjustments should no
longer be required as is normally experienced with your
central heating system registers.
The heat shield cover plate must be removed before
installing the gravity vent. The hot air vent must be in-
stalled in an upward direction! NEVER install in a down-
ward direction. Figure 6. The hot air gravity vent system
is not to be connected to a central heating system (for
this application use the NZ62CH). This option may not
be used in mobile homes.
No more than two hot air gravity vents can be installed to
replace.Individualventrunsarenottoexceed10feet.
All hot air gravity vents must be insulated.
A ceNtrAl heAtiNg system (NZ62ch) may be
used to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the unit.A wall mounted
thermostat located in the room to be heated controls the
blowersupplyingwarmairfromtheroomcontainingthere-
place. If a hot air duct system exists, the central heat blower
may safely be tied into this system to reduce the amount of
new ducting required. Consult with a heating specialist to
ensure a proper duct layout for your home. If the NZ62CH
is installed at the bottom of the unit, it could introduce a cool
draftintotheroomthatthereplaceisinstalledin.
Ahot Air distributioN kit (gA-566) may be used
todistributewarmairfromthereplacebase(only)intoa
separate location in the home.
These options may be incorporated with one another. If the
optional blowers are to be installed, make provision during
framingtoroutea110voltpowerlinetothereplace.Detailed
installation instructions are included with each venting kit.

the attic or garage. It may only come from outside the house.
The maximum length of the 4 inch air duct is 20 feet; thereafter
enlarge the duct to a 6 inch diameter.
Decide on the most convenient location for the fresh air inlet
ductandhoodwhichmaybeinstalledaboveorbelowoor

If the chimney system is enclosed within the attic area,
a rafter radiation shield is required.
The chimney should not be built with an offset angle in
excess of 45° in Canada and 30° in USA.
ChIMNEY INSTALLATION
The chimney must extend at least 3 feet above its point
of contact with the roof and at least 2 feet higher than
any wall, roof or building within 10 feet.
If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof,
it must be secured using a roof brace or guide wires.
Ensure that minimum clearances are maintained
Portions of the chimney that extend through accessible
spaces must always be encased to avoid personal
contact with the chimney and thereby avoid damage
to the chimney.
A raincap must be installed to avoid internal damage
and corrosion.
The chimney must be supported at a maximum of 20
foot intervals (approx. 200 lbs/20 ft).
The NZ-26 & NZ-26WI were tested to CAN/ULC S610 and UL 127 Factory Built Fireplace Standards. These Fireplaces have
metthetestcriteriaforZeroClearanceInstallationtoCombustibleSurfacesandCertiedtoburnFirewoodonly.
Any 6" diameter chimney listed to these standards may be installed. In accordance with these standards, the unit may also
be connected to any chimney listed to ULC-S629 for Canada or UL-103HT for the United States.
Installation of all types of factory-built chimney systems is to be in accordance with the chimney manufacturers installation
instructions. An appropriate chimney manufacturers anchor base plate and anchor base plate gasket is required in order
to initiate the twist lock mechanism. Use the high temperature gasket, supplied, to seal between the anchor plate and the
replacetop.
FIGURE 10
An acceptable 16" x 50" non-combustible (ie: brick, stone

thatthegapbetweenthereplaceandafactory-builthearth
extension is sealed with sand/cement grout or covered with a
metal strip (or both) to prevent sparks and embers from fall-
ingintothisarea.Araisedhearthtogetherwiththereplace

3. Slidetherstblowertothebackofthereplacetak-
ing care not to damage the terminals. Position the blower
onto the studs and secure using the lock washers and wing
nuts provided. Pull the leads to the front and right side of the
ashpan housing.
4. Slide the second blower into place, position onto the
studs and secure as before.
5. Remove the junction box cover located on the lower
right outside of the unit. Use a nut connector to attach the
black wire of the variable speed switch to the black power
wire.
6. Pass the four blower leads and both thermodisc leads
through the junction box bushing. Connect one blower lead
from each blower and one of the thermodisc leads using a
nut connector and connect the other two blower leads to the
white power supply wire using a nut connector.
7. Connect the other thermodisc lead to the black wire
of the variable speed switch using a nut connector. Secure
ground wire (green) to the threaded weld stud located on the
junction box wall. Re-install the junction box. Ensure that the
wires will not interfere with the blower.
Because the blower is thermally activated, when turned
on, it will automatically start approximately 15-45 minutes
after lighting the replace. Use of the blower increases
the output of heat.
Drywall dust will penetrate into the blower bearings
causing irreparable damage and must be prevented from
coming into contact with the blower or its compartment.
Any damage resulting from this condition is not covered
by the warranty policy.

If the outside combustion air kit is not used, air may still be
drawndirectlyintothereplace throughthelowerlouvres.
Outside and inside air may be combined by pulling the outside
air lever out as far as possible, and turning the lever 90° to
its locking position.

FEATURES
Draftistheforcewhichmovesairfromthereplaceupthrough
the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on
the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstruc-
tions and other forces. Adjusting the draft control regulates
the temperature. The draft can be adjusted from a low burn
rate with the handle at the bottom setting to a fast burn rate
with the handle at the top setting. Inadequate draft may
causeback-pufngintotheroomandmaycauseplugging
of the chimney. Too much draft may cause an excessive
temperatureinthereplace,glowing redreplacepartsor
anuncontrollableburnwhichcanallleadtoachimneyre
or a permanent damage to the unit. Do not operate your
replace for longer than 30 minutes with the draft control
on 'HIGH' (fully open).

For maximum efciency, when the replace is thoroughly
hot, load it fully to the top of the door opening and burn at a
medium low setting. The bricks will be nearly all white and
the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the
cleanness of the glass are good indicators of your operating
efciency.
Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of
wood are burned. A minimum of three pieces are needed to
encaseabedofcoalsthatsustainsthere.Looselystacked
wood burns quicker than a tightly packed load.
Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady output of
heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your household
routine so that only enough coals are left to start the next
load.Intheevening,loadyourreplace,atleast,ahalf-hour
beforebedtoensurethereishotenoughtoclosethedraft
control for an overnight burn.
Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and
less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood. Its
salt content can produce a metal eating acid. When refueling
open the door slowly to prevent smoke spillage. Use a pair
oflongreplacegloveswhenfeedingthere.Keepasmall
steel shovel nearby to use as a poker and to remove ashes.
Donotstorewoodwithin3feet(1m)ofthereplace.
FLASH FIRES: Aashreisasmallre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.
EXTENDED FIRE: Load your larger pieces of wood com-
pactly, packed close enough to prevent the ames from
penetrating it completely. After approximately 30 minutes,
depending on the size of the load, close the draft control
completelymakingsurethatthereisnotextinguished.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE FIREPLACE!Overring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).
FUEL LOADING AND BURN CYCLE
Remove all source of gasoline or other ammable
vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or other
appliances prior to lighting. Ensure that the top
rebricks and bre bafes are in place and not
lifted up.
Whenrstinstalled,thereplaceandthesteelarecoldand
mustbecomehotbeforethereplacewillfunctionwell.During
thebreak-inperiod(therst2or3res)createonlysmall,hot
resusingkindling;thiswillallowtherebricktocure.Donot
bealarmedifsmallhairlinecracksdevelopintherebrick.
This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety
hazard.Thepaintmayalsosmellalittlefortherstfewres
as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to
alleviate the smell.
Tostart,abriskreisrequired.Placelooselycrumpledpaper
ontheoorofthereplacebehindthelogretainerandcover
with dry kindling. Open the draft control fully by moving the
lever to "HIGH". Light the paper and leave the door slightly
ajar (one inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk
re,ahotcoalbedmustbeestablishedandmaintained.
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owdirectlyinto
thistrenchandignitethefuelabove.Whenthereseemsto
be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these
logshavecaughtre,carefullyclosethedoor.
Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce
the rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory
burn.
Rememberitismoreefcienttoburnmediumsizedwood,
briskly,andrefuelfrequentlythantoloadthereplacewith
large logs that result in a smouldering, inefcient re and
dirty glass.
As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the
amepattern.Theameswillgetsmallerandlazierbecause
less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The
ames,however,aremoreefcient.Theameswillremain
lazybutbecomelargeragainassoonastherebrickshave
been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes heated
andprovidesagooddraft.Atthispoint,theroaringrethat
you see when the door is opened is wastefully drawing heated
room air up the chimney -- certainly not desirable. So always
operate with the door fully closed once the medium sized logs
havecaughtre.
Youcannowaddlargerpiecesofwoodandoperatethere-
placenormally.Oncethereplaceisentirelyhot,itwillburn
veryefcientlywithlittlesmokefromthechimney.Therewill
beabedoforangecoalsinthereboxandsecondaryames
ickeringjustbelowthetopoftherebox.Youcansafelyll
thereboxwithwoodtothetopofthedoor.
Can't get the stove operating? Use more kindling and pa-
per. Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and
thereissufcientcombustionair,thelackofsufciently
quantities of kindling is the problem.  is a
good gauge for small kindling diameter.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Can't get heat out of the stove? One of two things may
havehappened.Thereplacedoormayhavebeenclosed
prematurelyandthereplaceitselfhasnotreachedoptimum
temperature. Re-open the door and/or draft control to re-
establishabriskre.Theotherproblemmayhavebeenwet
wood. The typical symptom is sizzling wood and moisture
being driven from the wood.

A bed of ashes approximately 1 inch deep should be left on the
reboxbottomtohelpmaintainahotcharcoalbed.Whenthe
rehasburneddownandcooled,removeanyexcessashes.
To use your ash pan, pull the ash dump handle forward to an
open position. Rake the excess ashes over the grate and into
the ash pan. Close the ash well.
3. Burningyourreplacewiththeashdumpdooropen.
4. Improperly installed or worn gaskets.
SOLUTIONS:
1. Do not burn treated or processed wood, coal, charcoal,
coloured paper or cardboard.
2. Becarefulnottooverretheunitbyleavingthedooropen
too long after the initial start-up.
3. Alwaysoperatethereplacewiththeashwellinaclosed
position.
4. Replaceworn,driedout(inexible)gaskets.
WHAT TO DO IF A RUN-AWAY OR CHIMNEY FIRE
STARTS:
1. Close the draft fully (lowest position).
2. Callthelocalredepartment.
3. Examine the chimney, attic and roof of the house, to see if
anyparthasbecomehotenoughtocatchre.Ifnecessary
spraywithareextinguisherorwaterfromagardenhose.
4. Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the
chimney has not been damaged.
Allhomeswithasolidfuelburningreplaceshouldhaveat
leastonereextinguisherinacentrallocation,known to all,
and at least one smoke detector in the room containing the
replace.Ifitsoundsanalarm,correctthecausebutdonot
de-activate or relocate the smoke detector.
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 season-
ing 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.
Bothhardwoodandsoftwoodburnequallywellinthisre-
place but hardwood, which 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
rewoodhascracksintheendgrain.
Attheendofeachburningseasoninspectthebafelocated
above the secondary air tubes for deterioration. Replace if nec-
essary. At this time also check that the door gasket is not worn
orloose.Replacewith1/2"breglassropeifnecessary.
To remove the door, open and lift out; 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ber-
glass gasket, covering 1/4" on each side. Place this gasketed
glass in position and replace the brackets and screws. When
nished,youshouldbeabletomovetheglassslightly,horizon-
tally and vertically.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic
vapours which combine with expelled moisture to form creo-
sote. These vapours condense in the relatively cooler chimney
ueofaslowburningreandwhenignited,makeanextremely
hotre.So,thechimneyshouldbeinspectedmonthlyduring
the heating season to determine if a build-up has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce
theriskofachimneyre.
Run-awayrescanbetheresultofFOUR major factors:
1. Using incorrect fuel, or small fuel pieces which would nor-
mally be used as kindling.
2. Leaving the door ajar too long and creating extreme tem-
peratures as the air rushes in the open door.
ASh REMOVAL PROCEDURES
MAINTENANCE
Never operate your replace with the ash well in an open
position!
Thiscreatesarehazardthatmayresultinahouse/chim-
ney re, internal damage to the stove or discoloration to
thegoldplateddoor(platednishesarenotcoveredbythe
warranty). To ensure that the ash well is fully closed, allow
the door to snap shut, dislodging anything that may be stuck
at the opening.
Flip the cover up onto the ash pan when transporting the
ashestoaclosedcontainerwithatightttinglidforstorage.
Carry the ash pan using the front and back handles. Keep
theclosedcontaineronanon-combustibleoororground,
well away from all combustible materials. The ashes should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled. Cold wood ashes can be used on the
garden or compost.

BUILD YOUR FIRE ON THE FLOOR OF THE FIRE-
BOX AND BEHIND THE LOG RETAINER ONLY.
Do not block or restrict the hot air outlets or air
inlets. This will cause the replace to overheat.
Keep res away from the door.
1. Build a hot re.
2. Use only dry wood
3. Several pieces of medium sized wood are better
than a few big pieces.
4. Clean the chimney regularly.
5. Refuel frequently using medium sized wood.
6. "Fine Tune" the air settings for optimum
performance.
1. Take ash out immediately. Let it accumulate to
a depth of at least one inch. A good ash layer
provides for a longer lasting and better burning
re.
2. Burn wet wood.
3. Close the door too soon or damper down too
quickly.
4. Burn one large log rather than two or three
smaller, more reasonably sized logs.
5. Burn at continually 'low setting', if the glass door
is constantly blackened. This means the rebox
temperature is too low.
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling
downcyclesarenormalandtobeexpected.Whenrstlight-
ingare,ifthesmokeisnotquicklydrawnintothechimney,
there may be a downdraft or cold air in the chimney. Roll up
somenewspaper,lightitandplaceitnearthereplaceue
untilthechimneybeginstodraw.Duringaring,openthe
draftcontrolbeforeopeningthereplacedoor.Openthedoor
slowly to avoid drawing smoke into the room.
AproperlyinstalledNapoleonreplace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
replaceorchimney?Istheroomtooairtightandtheairintake
not connected to the outside? Check with a window partly
open.Isthesmokeow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 short a chimney,
or a chimney too close to trees or a higher roof?
Check your chimney for creosote and soot build-up monthly
