Frequently Asked Questions
Napoleon display shows garbled symbols — cause?
Garbled or incorrect symbols on the display indicate a failing display board or a corrupted firmware state. A power cycle may clear this. If garbled symbols persist, the display board needs replacement.
Napoleon fireplace display dim and hard to read — normal?
Display brightness can reduce at room temperature extremes on some models. If the display has become significantly harder to read compared to when new, the display backlight is failing. Contact Napoleon support.
Napoleon display went off after a power outage and will not come back — cause?
A power surge during restoration of mains power after an outage can damage the display control board. Unplug the fireplace, wait 5 minutes, and plug back in. If the display does not restore, the board has been damaged by the surge.
