Installation and finishing

WARNING

  • Risk of fire! The power cord must not be pinched against a sharp edge. Secure cord to avoid tripping or snagging to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock, or personal injury. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar items. Arrange cord away from traffi c areas and where it will not be tripped over.
  • Risk of fire! To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces where openings may become blocked.
  • Risk of fire! Do not blow or place insulation against the appliance.
  • This electric appliance is tested and listed for use only with the approved optional accessories. Use of optional accessories not specifically tested for this electric appliance could void the warranty and/or result in a safety hazard.
  • If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or death. Do not store or use gasoline or other fl ammable vapors in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
  • This appliance is heavy. It is highly recommended that two people install this appliance.
  • If your appliance is equipped with a heater, ensure the heater vents cannot, in any way, be covered as it may create a fire hazard.
  • Do not run the power cord horizontally, directly below the appliance.

Your NEFB36H/42H-BS-1 is a recessed appliance. Select a suitable location that is not susceptible to moisture and is away from drapes, furniture and high trafficareas.
Note: Follow all national and local electrical codes.

3.1 minimum clearance to combustibles

Measurements are taken from the glass front.

Bottom 0″ Top 2″ to mantel
Sides 0″ Top 2″ to ceiling
Back 0″

Note:
The power switch is located on the upper right hand side of the appliance. Ensure to maintain access to this switch at all times.

3.2 minimum mantel clearances

WARNING

  • When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, the paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent discolouration.

NAPOLEON NEFB36H-BS-1 Element Electric Fireplace - mantel
clearances

3.3 rough framing

WARNING

  • Select a location that is not prone to moisture and is located at least 36″ (91.4cm) away from combustible materials such as curtains, drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.

Note:
It is recommended to complete finishing of the wall before fully securing the appliance.
Once the rough framing and the finishing materials have been prepared and the power has been routed to the right side of the recess, the appliance may be installed.
The electrical connection must be made prior to placing the appliance into position (see “electrical information” section).
Have two people lift the appliance into position.
In order to avoid the possibility to exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the appliance body, it is recommended that the walls of the appliance enclosure be “finished” (i.e. drywall / sheet rock, etc.) as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the enclosure.
