Using the remote control

Napoleon electric fireplaces can be turned on using a remote control. The remote control allows you to adjust the temperature, customize the flame settings, set schedules, and program timers.

To turn on your Napoleon electric fireplace using the remote control, ensure that the receiver box is located within the control cavity of your fireplace and that the wires are tightly secured to their terminals. Slide the slider switch on the receiver box to the "On" position. Your fireplace should turn on. If it doesn't, check the batteries in your remote control and receiver box, ensuring they are charged and not damaged by corrosion.

If you are still unable to get your Napoleon electric fireplace to turn on using the remote control, try troubleshooting by pressing the "On" button on your remote control and holding it down for one to two seconds. This should produce three beeps from the receiver box, confirming that it has captured the code from the remote control.

Napoleon also offers a Napoleon Home App that allows you to control your electric fireplace remotely using your smartphone. With the app, you can adjust the temperature, customize the flame settings, set schedules, and program timers. Additionally, you can create unlimited colour combinations for the flames, ember bed, and top lights.

The eFire Bluetooth Control feature allows you to connect to your Napoleon electric fireplace and control it using your mobile device. You can turn the fireplace on and off, set timers, and select any colour.

Wait for a few minutes, and then press down on any remaining control buttons to discharge any leftover electrical energy.

The Napoleon Premium Fire electric fireplaces offer a unique and efficient alternative to traditional fireplaces. They replicate the look of actual fire without producing real flames, as the LED lights reflect on moving light refractors. This means there are no burning embers, creosote, or noxious fumes. Napoleon electric fireplaces are also versatile, allowing for wall-mounted or recessed installations, and can be plugged in or hard-wired.

In addition to the soft-touch keyboard, Napoleon electric fireplaces can be controlled through various other methods. This includes a remote control, touch panels, and the Napoleon Home App, which allows for smart home integration and remote control.

Power source and installation

Napoleon Electric Fireplaces are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their style, efficiency, and cost savings. They are also lightweight and easy to install, requiring no more than an electrical outlet and offering design flexibility.

Power Source

Napoleon Premium Fire electric fireplaces require an earthed socket or a fixed power source of 220 or 240 volts. The power cord supplied with the fireplace should be plugged into a 120V, 15 Amp minimum grounded outlet. The power consumption of the fireplace is between 10 and 20 watts per hour at level 1 (flame image without heating function), resulting in low costs of around 0.02/0.03 cents per hour.

Installation

Before installing your Napoleon Electric Fireplace, carefully review the user manual, which will provide specific instructions and framing requirements. The manual will outline the dimensions you need to cut out to create a space for the fireplace, as well as any clearances and technical specifications.

For the Napoleon Alluravision, the junction box is located in the bottom left corner, and you will need to remove the front glass and plastic panel holders to facilitate installation. This step may vary depending on your specific model. Once the framing is complete, hold the appliance up to the framed section of the wall to ensure a proper fit, making any necessary corrections. Then, secure the trim pieces to each side of the unit with the included trim fasteners.

Finally, connect the electrical supply by hard-wiring the appliance into the household wiring, if desired. Napoleon recommends placing the fireplace so that the front panel covers the socket, and the cable is not visible. The cable cover system can be painted over to match any colour.
