IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNIING
INFORMATION
READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY AND UNDERSTAND THESE RULES TO FOLLOW FOR SAFETY.
1. When this room heater is not properly installed, a house fire may
result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions
and installation inspection requirements in your area.
2. Wear gloves during installation to avoid injury from sharp
edges on the fireplace insert and/or its parts.
3. This unit is designed and engineered to burn only dry, wellseasoned wood. Burning wet wood will greatly reduce your
fireplace inserts efficiency, produce excessive amounts of
smoke and can cause dangerous chimney fires due to creosote
build-up.
4. Before opening the door, the draft control must be fully open to avoid possible combustion flash (ignition of hot volatile
gases as the door is opened).
5. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ’freshenup’
a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the
heater while it is in use.
6. While burning, fuel utilizes oxygen from the air in the room.
Be sure to allow an adequate amount of fresh air into the
room where the fireplace insert is burning.
7. The outside surface of the fireplace insert will be hot while
burning properly and can set items like clothing and curtains
on fire. Keep furnishings and other combustible materials away
from the fireplace insert. Using the heat from the fireplace
insert to dry wet clothing can be hazardous if clothes are
placed too near the surface of the fireplace insert.
8. Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing furnishings and
combustible material a considerable distance away. Contact
may cause skin burns. Do not allow children to play near the
fireplace insert without close supervision. Do not touch the
fireplace insert while it is burning. Use extreme caution while
the unit is in use. Surface temperatures become dangerously
hot and can cause serious burns.
9. Do not allow anyone to operate the fireplace insert who is not
familiar with the operating instructions.
10. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed fireplace
insert design specifications can result in permanent damage to the fireplace insert. Never leave your fireplace insert
unattended on high burn rates. This may cause overfiring.
Overfiring the fireplace insert may cause a house fire. If the
fireplace insert glows, you are overfiring.
11. Keep a water hose or hand-operated fire extinguisher close
for safety.
12. Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several potential
sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke
detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway
adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional
false activation from the heat produced by the insert). If your
local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the
same room, you must follow the requirements of your local
code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.
13. Inspect your chimney at least once a month during the burn
ing season to check for soot and creosote accumulations.
Any accumulations over 1/4” thick should be removed by a
professional chimney sweep. Do not attempt to burn out heavy
creosote accumulations with a hot fire. If large accumulations
are occurring, review your burning procedures.
14. If a creosote fire should develop, the fire department should
be called immediately and then attempts should be made to
control the fire until assistance arrives. If a “runaway” fire
should develop causing over-heating of the fireplace insert,
the door and draft regulators should be closed immediately.
The fire should die down once deprived of oxygen. After a
severe chimney fire, the complete chimney system should
be checked before further use.
15. Do Not Use Grate Or Elevate Fire - Build Wood Fire Directly
On Hearth (firebrick). Do not use andirons or other methods
of supporting the fuel.
16. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your
new room heater. Failure to follow instructions may result in
property damage, bodily injury, or even death.
17. Check all local building and safety codes before installation.
The installation instructions and appropriate code requirements must be followed exactly and without compromise.
In the absence of local codes the following standards and
codes must be followed.
18. In the U.S.A, install in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association’s Code, NFPA 211, Standards for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances, or similar regulations, may apply to the installation of
a Solid-Fuel-Burning appliance in your area. In Canada, the
guideline is established by the CSA Standard, CAN/CSA-B365M93, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment.
19. Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, WHICH
MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
21. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – early signs of carbon monox-
ide poisoning resemble the flu with headaches, dizziness, or
nausea. If you have these signs, get fresh air at once! Have
the heater inspected by a qualified service technician. Some
people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and
those at high altitudes.
22. Failure to use manufacturer provided parts, variations in
techniques and construction materials or practices other than
those described in this manual may create a fire hazard and
void the limited warranty.
23. Do not make any make-shift compromises during installation.
Any modification or alteration may result in damage to the
appliance or dwelling and will void the warranty, certification
and listings of this unit.
24. These appliances are designed as supplemental heaters.
Therefore, it is advisable to have an alternate heat source
when installed in a dwelling.
25. Do Not Overfire – If Heater or Chimney Connector Glows,
You Are Overfiring.
26. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING
ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

This manual describes the installation and operation of the Canyon™ C310
non-catalytic wood heaters. These heaters meet the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s emissions limits for wood heaters sold on or after
July 1, 1990. This heater has been developed, tested and constructed
in accordance with the requirements of UL 1482, ULC S628 and HUD
standards and is listed by OMNI Test Laboratories, Portland, OR. It has
been approved for residential and alcove installations.
DRAFT REQUIREMENTS
read greater than .04’ W.C. (inches water column) and less than .08”
W.C. As per NFPA-211 standard (see paragraph below), the installer
must take into account all variables within the installation and install the
appliance in such a manner that satisfies the draft requirements of the
appliance. See Chimney Guidelines below to assist you in selecting the
proper venting system for your installation.
American National Standards Institute ANSI/NFPA 211, Standard for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances
- See Draft Section: A chimney or vent shall be so designed and con-
structed to develop a flow sufficient to completely remove all flue and
vent gases to the outside atmosphere. The venting system shall satisfy
the draft requirements of the connected appliance in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Your wood fireplace insert is dependent upon a properly functioning
chimney for optimum performance. It is a high efficiency appliance that
loses much less heat up the chimney than older appliances and fireplaces.
For this reason it is important to match the fireplace insert to the chimney.
The chimney has two functions:
1. It draws combustion air into the appliance (without air, no fuel will
burn) and
2. It exhausts combustion by-products. Your new Country™ Collection
fireplace insert is what is known as a “natural draft” appliance.
The appliance depends solely on the natural draft of the chimney system
to draw combustion air into the unit. Draft is the force that moves air from
the appliance up into the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance (overfiring). Slow or inadequate draft equals poor combustion
and possible smoking problems. The following are some conditions that
may contribute to poor chimney draft:
1. A chimney too large for your appliance.
2. A chimney with not enough height to produce adequate draft.
3. A chimney with excessive height (this may allow exhaust to cool too
much before exiting, which will stall the rate the exhaust exits).
4. Offsets in the venting system are too restrictive (see Chimney Guide-lines).
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through the fireplace insert and the chimney connector joints.
Excessive draft may cause an uncontrollable burn or a glowing red fireplace insert or chimney part.
Chimney Guidelines:
• This appliance requires approximately 12 feet minimum of “effective
draw” provided by the venting system. As a rule of thumb, every 90
degree total direction change in the venting will result in a loss of
approximately 5 feet of “effective draw.” Example: If two 45 degree
offsets are used, subtract 5 feet from the actual vertical vent height
to determine your “effective draw.” In this case if you had 14 feet of
vertical vent, the effective draw would only be approximately 9 feet
(14 ft. - 5 ft. = 9 ft.), therefore it may be necessary to add additional
height to the venting system.
• If the venting system is all vertical and the total vent length above the
flue outlet exceeds 14 feet, it is recommended that the 8” to 6” pipe
reducer is used (cat. no. 71134) and a 6” venting system be installed.
At higher elevations, this may not be necessary.
• In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be difficult to establish
a good draft up your chimney. The poor draft is caused by a shortage
of air in the house (seeNegative Pressure Warning on Page 5).
Chimney Height Requirements
The chimney must extend 3’ (.92m) above the level of roof penetration
and a minimum of 2’ (.61m) higher than any roof surface within 10’
(3m) (see below). Check with your local building officials for additional
requirements for your area.
Overfiring Damage - If the heater or chimney connector glows, you are
overfiring. Other symptoms may include: Cracking, warping or burning
out of components, plated doors may turn color, stove glass may develop
a haze, which will not come off with cleaning.
Overfiring of a fireplace insert is a condition where excessive temperatures
are reached, beyond the design capabilities of the appliance. The damage that occurs from overfiring is not covered under the manufacturer’s
limited warranty.
Also see Troubleshooting on Page 16.
SELECTING THE PROPER VENTING SYSTEM
The appliance is merely one component of a larger system. The other
equally important component is the venting system. This is necessary for
achieving the required flow of combustion air to the fire chamber and for
safely removing unwanted combustion by-products from the appliance.
If the venting system’s design does not promote these ends, the system
may not function properly. Poorly functioning venting systems may create
performance problems as well as be a safety hazard. A draft test should

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Figure 1 - Chimney Height Requirements
To pass inspection in nearly any jurisdiction, the chimney must meet both
safety and exhaust flow requirements. The (3’ by) 2’ by 10’ rule applies
to both masonry and factory-built chimneys.
* Ref. USA - National Standard, NFPA 211-latest edition and Canada
National Standard CSA B365-01-latest edition. Vents installed with a
listed cap shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the cap’s
listings.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING
This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure.
In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace cold air
returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in close
proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure in the
same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous back
drafting of the stove and chimney joints, drawing combustion by-products
into the home. Be sure your home has adequate makeup air to eliminate
negative pressures caused by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air
connected to the appliance probably will not resolve such a problem as
the stove or fireplace insert is not the source of negative pressure. Lennox
Hearth Products accepts no liability for damages resulting from negative
pressures described above.
Dry, seasoned wood is that which has been cut, split and allowed to dry
under a covered area where air is free to flow and circulate under and
around the wood (not under a tarp or plastic). Make sure wood is not
stacked directly on the ground, it may absorb moisture from the ground.
It should be allowed to dry in these conditions for a minimum of six
months, preferably one year or more. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT
WOOD CANNOT BE LEFT IN ANY KIND OF WET OR DAMP AREA OR IT
WILL NEVER BECOME COMPLETELY SEASONED. Your fireplace insert
will not operate at the level that it is meant to unless you use seasoned,
dry wood. Do not burn driftwood or wood that has been in salt water,
doing so will void your warranty. Do not burn treated wood, coal, garbage,
cardboard, solvents, or colored paper. Burning treated wood, garbage,
solvents, or colored paper may result in the release of toxic fumes. This
type of burning will also void your warranty.
Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for combustion. The
fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space
where it will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a Solid-FuelBurning heater. In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be
difficult to establish a good draft up the chimney (caused by a shortage
of air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household
appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat
pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and other
fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater
uses oxygen from inside the dwelling. If the available fresh air delivery
in the dwelling is insufficient to support the demands of these appliances,
problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure can develop in the
dwelling which will affect the rate at which this appliance can draft thus
resulting in performance problems. To correct this problem it may help to
open a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or install
an optional outside air kit.
CREOSOTE, FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors,
which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney and
chimney connector should be inspected at least once monthly during
the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If
creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.
PAINT CURING
If your fireplace insert has a Gold or Nickel-Plated Door, be sure to clean
it with household type glass cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove
any fingerprints and residues prior to the first fire and before any fire
if the gold has been handled or soiled. Do not close the door tightly
during the “Burn-In Period.” Also, open the door frequently (every
5-10 minutes) to keep the gasket from adhering to the curing paint.
Ventilate the house well during these first firings as the paint gives off
carbon dioxide and unpleasant odors. It is recommended that persons
sensitive to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the fireplace
insert during the curing process.
Your new Canyon™ C310 is painted with a high temperature paint that
cures during the first few firings. We recommend that you put your stove
through a regimen of three burns. The first two should last for 20 minutes
each at 250 degrees (the stove should be allowed to cool completely
between each burn). The third should be a burn of at least 450 degrees
F. for 45-60 minutes. The paint will become soft, gummy and emit nontoxic smoke during these burns. After the stove cools down for the third
time, the paint will harden. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE
UNTIL THIS CURING EFFECT IS COMPLETE OR YOU MAY DAMAGE
THE FINISH OF YOUR STOVE. Spray can touch-ups should be done only
with a high temperature stove paint (cat. no. 70K99), available from all
Lennox Hearth Products dealers.
BURN-IN PERIOD
ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes should be scooped out of a cool stove with a small metal shovel.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor
or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until
all the cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes can ignite up to 72 hours
after removal from the stove.
FUEL
This unit is designed and engineered to burn, dry, well-seasoned wood
only.
Please be patient with the heat output of your fireplace insert for the first
few weeks. The steel will go through a curing process that eliminates
moisture, which is deep in the steel and firebrick. This moisture will
reduce initial heat output of your fireplace insert and may make it difficult to start. After you have broken in the paint on the fireplace insert
it will be necessary to build hot fires to thoroughly remove the moisture
from the appliance. Running the fireplace insert with the draft fully open
for 1 to 1-1/2 hours after starting and adding generous amounts of fuel
during the first week or two should complete the curing process. We
recommend the use of a thermometer attached to the fireplace insert
top or chimney. Temperatures on the connector pipe should run in the
250-600 degree range. (DO NOT OVER FIRE THE STOVE DURING THIS
PROCESS. IF THE STOVE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED, REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF AIR ENTERING THE STOVE IMMEDIATELY).

baffle boards.
1. Install bricks #1-34 in the numbered sequence as shown in Figure
2 (Note: Bricks 22-25 lean up against the lower air channel and butt
against bricks 17-21 on the bottom of the stove).
2. Next, you will install the baffle boards. All 4 baffle boards included
are the same size (15-1/2” X 6-3/16”). You will start by installing the
boards in the center part of the unit on top of the secondary tubes
to each side of the baffle support with the 15-1/2” side of the baffle
board going from the front to back of the unit. Once you have the
first two boards installed slide the board to the left side of the baffle
support all the way to the left and rear of the unit. You will slide the
board to the right side of the secondary support to the right and rear
of the unit. Next you will install the two remaining boards where you
originally installed the first two boards on each side of the baffle
support and pushed against the rear of the unit. The stainless steel
support hanger should be centered left to right between the sets of
baffle boards and placed as shown in Figure 4.
3. Also included with the unit are two 17” x 12-7/16” x 1” thick baffle
blankets. Install each blanket above the baffle board to each side of
the secondary support with the 17” side of the blanket from front
to rear of the unit. Make sure that the baffle blankets are to the full
rear of the unit.

HEARTH PROTECTION
The hearth and/or floor protection must be a thermally rated non-combustible hearth/floor protector meeting or exceeding a thermal rating of
k=.84 or equivalent with a listed thickness of 3/4" (19mm) minimum in
USA and Canada. The covering must extend 24” (610mm) in front of the
heater and 8” (200mm) to either side (measured from door opening in
the USA and measured from the side of the unit in Canada).
Using Alternate Material As Floor / Hearth Protection
The hearth extension or alternate material used as a floor/hearth protector must be constructed of a durable noncombustible material having
an equal or better thermal conductivity value (lower k value) of k =.84
BTU/IN FT2 HR °F or a thermal resistance that equals or exceeds r = 1.19
HR °F FT2 IN/BTU with a minimum thickness of 3/4”. With these values,
determine the minimum thickness of the alternate material required using
the formula(s) and shown in Table 2.
Note:
Any noncombustible material having a minimum thickness of
3/4”(19 mm) whose k value is less than .84 or whose r value is more
than 1.19 is acceptable. If the alternate material used has a higher k value
or lower r value will require a greater thickness of the material used. In
some cases, if the k value is less or the r value higher, a thinner material
may be used.
Methods of determining floor protection equivalents:
To determine the thickness required for the alternate material when
either the "k" value or "r" value is known, use either the k formula or r
formula.
Example: If Micore 160 Mineral Fiber Board is to be used for the floor
protection, how thick must this material be?
kM = k value per inch of alternate material
rM = r value per inch of alternate material
TM = minimum thickness required for alternate material
TS = standard thickness of the alternate material
kL = k value per inch of listed material
rL = r value per inch of listed material
TL = minimum thickness of listed material
Note: An asterisk "*" indicates, it is a value taken from Table 2.

insert. Approved with or without positive flue connection. Approved
with minimum 6” (152 mm) diameter stainless steel listed reline system.
Country Collection inserts are tested to UL 1482 / ULC S628 and listed
by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc.; Portland, OR.
IMPORTANT NOTE: See Draft Requirements and Selecting a Proper
Venting System on Page 4 to assist you in choosing the proper venting
system for your installation.
Remove and clean behind unit frequently, as creosote build up may
occur rapidly.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES - MASONRY CHIMNEY
Note: Although not required, a full-length stainless steel liner is recommended for optimum safety and performance. See your Lennox Hearth
Products dealer for details.
4. Open or remove the existing fireplace damper. Make sure the damper
cannot fall closed.
5. Install the two 1/2” x 3” (13 mm x 76 mm) leveling bolts -heads up- a
few turns in the leveling nuts on each side of the outer chamber of the

POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION
A full chimney liner
is recommended
A positive flue connection is providing a seal between the vent pipe or
liner and the existing fireplace chimney for the purpose of preventing
room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. There are different approved methods to achieve this. See Direct Connect Positive Flue Connection on this page.
When creating a positive flue connection, a positive flue connector ring
kit is required (sold separately - see Figure 7). The connector ring kits
(listed below) provide a means to directly attach rigid pipe or an flex
pipe adaptor to the flue outlet.

Figure 7 - Connector Ring Kit
Direct Connect Positive Flue Connection
Required in Canada
See the following instructions for approved methods of achieving a
positive flue connection - See Figure 8.
A qualified installer should evaluate the existing fireplace to determine
the best method for achieving a positive flue connection between the
vent pipe or liner and the existing fireplace chimney. The most common
method for achieving a positive flue connection in masonry fireplaces
is to secure a seal-off plate (i.e. 22-gage sheet steel) in the fireplace
throat using masonry screws. Other acceptable methods include packing
noncombustible material (i.e. high temp fiberglass or ceramic insulation)
around the vent pipe or using a flue adapter. Whatever “seal off” method
is used, it must effectively seal the area to prevent room air passage to
the chimney cavity of the fireplace.
Offset Boxes
Offsets can be handled using an offset box (it aligns flue outlet of insert
with the fireplace flue (see Figure 9). Care should be used to ensure
that this adjustable offset box is oriented so it does not angle down when
positioned on the insert flue outlet (level or slightly up at the outbound
end is recommended).

INSERT PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Install the two 3” (76 mm) long bolts (with the head up) through the
nuts attached to the insert on the lower rear corner of each side. This will
allow you to level the insert when placed into the fireplace. Measure from
the front of the top surround mount to the center of the flue. Determine
if there is an alignment problem in connecting a liner from the chimney
to the insert’s flue. If there is an alignment problem, connection can be
made using a short piece of stainless flex or a stainless steel offset box
(available from your dealer). Before installing the liner, make any attachment brackets or drill any holes in the liner, offset box, or insert. Once
installed, it may be difficult or impossible to drill additional holes.
If additional support is necessary, factory punched holes in the front
corners of the bottom air chamber will accept leveling legs. Carefully
measure the distance from the hearth protection to the bottom of the
stove. Use 3/8” diameter bolts that are 1/2” (13 mm) longer that the
distance just measured. Thread a nut onto the the bolt approximately 1”
(25 mm). Lift the stove slightly and insert a bolt into each hole and then
thread the nut up the bolt until the front is securely supported. Install
another nut onto the bolt through the air space in the stove and tighten
securely. If desired an insert front support, Cat. No. H5296, is available
to fill the space between the insert and the hearth protection.
Install the brick and baffle as per Page 6.
CHIMNEY LINER INSTALLATION
Remove the existing chimney cap and install a stainless steel liner into
the chimney (if a special section has been used or drilled to attach to the
insert, it must be the bottom piece). The next piece should be a dripless
slip joint; followed by the rest of the chimney liner. Fasten the chimney
at the top when it is positioned so that the slip joint will allow the lowest
piece to slide up enough to clear the insert during installation. Insulate
the top four to six feet between the liner and the chimney to prevent heat
loss. Install the cap and flash if necessary to prevent water or creosote
from entering the chimney’s venting system.
From inside the fireplace firebox, attach any adapters or flue offsets and
slide the liner up as far as necessary for the bottom piece to clear the
insert during installation.
INSTALLING THE INSERT
Place the insert into the fireplace, making sure to center it side to side.
Slide the insert in until the surround mounts are approximately 1/2” (13
mm) from the face of the fireplace where the surround panels cover.
Lower the chimney and make attachment to the insert. Level the stove
by using a 3/4” socket and a long extension and adjusting the bolts on
either side of the insert.
POST INSTALLATION CHECKS
1. Check that all chimney pipe joints are securely fastened.
2. Check that the heater is securely fastened to the floor (if ap
plicable).
3. Make sure the intake vent has clear access to outside air (if ap
plicable).
4. Make sure the outside air vent has been sealed properly to keep
rodents out (if applicable).
5. Be sure all roof flashings are watertight (if applicable).
6. Be sure the stove is properly grounded (if applicable).
FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION AND INSURANCE PURPOSES,
HAVE YOUR CHIMNEY AND CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
INSPECTED BY YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODE AUTHORITY OR
FIRE MARSHAL BEFORE STARTING A FIRE IN YOUR STOVE.
NOTIFY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY.
-
-
Install the side surround panels with the screws supplied. Push the insert
in until there is approximately a 1/4” (6 mm) gap between the back of the
surround panels and the face of the fireplace. Before installing the top
surround panel, make sure all connections are tight and that no part of
the insert or chimney is touching the firebox or chimney in the fireplace.
There must be a minimum of 1” (25 mm) clearance between the stove
and the zero clearance fireplace. Install the top surround panel.

OPERATING HINTS
OK
STARTING AND MAINTAINING A FIRE
1. Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood for maximum heat output. In some
states it is illegal to burn wet wood or anything other than clean, dry
wood products.
2.
Your fireplace insert is designed to operate with the door closed!
Operate only with the door shut tightly at all times except when loading wood and possibly on start up to establish a draft. Never leave
the unit unattended while the front door is slightly opened.
3.
DO NOT hit or move the baffle board while loading wood. Occasionally
check the baffle. Make sure the baffle blankets are always flush with
the front of the baffle boards. Loading oversized logs may dislodge
the baffle boards.
4.
CAUTION: THE DRAFT CONTROL MUST BE FULLY OPEN
BEFORE OPENING THE DOOR TO AVOID POSSIBLE COMBUSTION FLASH!! (Ignition of hot volatile gases as the door is
opened).
5. Feeding excessive amounts of fuel to the stove should be avoided.
It is important to supply it with sufficient draft and fuel to maintain
a moderately hot fire. If, during overnight burns, heavy creosote
deposits develop inside your stove and on the door, the draft is set
too low - review your burning habits!
Be sure to clean the Nickel or Gold Plated door with a household
type glass cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove any fingerprints
and residues prior to the first fire.
1. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS TO START OR REKINDLE
A SOLID FUEL FIRE!!
2. Fully open the primary draft control by pulling the 1” plastic knob
out on the left side (lower front corner) until it stops (away from the
stove). This control determines the amount of air entering the stove.
Pushing it toward the stove reduces the burn rate in the firebox. For
your convenience, the rod on this control is marked with four grooves
to assist you in obtaining repeatable burn rates.
3. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in front of the firebox and
cover it with a few pieces of kindling.
4. Light the paper and allow sufficient time for the kindling to become
fully engulfed in flames. You will now close the wood units front door.
(Your wood units front door may or may not need to be left slightly
open during this start up process, this depends on the stove model
and the amount of draft present. Do not leave the unit unattended
while the front door is slightly open) Once kindling is burning well,
larger pieces of wood may be added, then the door should be fully
closed if there was the need to keep it slightly open during start
up.
Do not operate the stove with the door open or ajar other than
possibly during start up to create a draft (Do not leave the
unit unattended while the front door is slightly open during
start up). Operating the stove with the door open other then
in initial start up if needed will produce extreme temperatures within the stove. Damage caused from over-firing is
not covered under the manufacturers limited warranty.
5. For best results, use smaller pieces of wood to get the insert temperature very high before loading larger wood for sustained burns.
If necessary, crack the door to allow ignition of the fuel charge. Do not leave the unit unattended while the front door is slightly open.
Now you can add larger pieces of wood and after several minutes of
high burn, set the left control for the desired heat output. Check the
exhaust in about 15 to 20 minutes. Large amounts of smoke indicate
an improper burn setting (either too high or too low). Adjust and
recheck in 5 to 10 minutes.

Blower Operation
The blower can be operated manually or automatically (blower will
turn on when the insert is hot and turn off when the insert is cool).
The rocker switch on the control panel allows you to select between
manual operation or automatic operation as follows (see Figure 10):
MANUAL OPERATION: Turn rocker switch to the manual position (up)
and adjust rheostat knob to the desired speed. The blower will have to
be manually turned “OFF” by rotating the rheostat knob counterclockwise until it clicks.
AUTO OPERATION: Turn rocker switch to the “AUTO” position and
the rheostat to the ON position (rotate rheostat knob clockwise until it
clicks). When the insert warms up, the blower will automatically turn
on (adjust rheostat knob to the desired speed setting). When the insert
cools down, the blower will automatically turn off.
Rheostat Operation - The highest blower speed is obtained by turning
the rheostat knob clockwise until it clicks “ON”, then rotate towards
“HIGH” to increase blower speed. Rotate the knob clockwise for a
lower speed. To turn off, continue to rotate the knob counterclockwise
until it clicks “OFF.”
Blower Operation Guidelines
While in auto operation mode, the blower will turn off and on based on the
temperature of the stove. Auto operation ensures there is sufficient heat
build-up to warm the air being moved by the blower before the blower is
turned on. Likewise, when the stove cools off, the blower is turned off
to prevent circulating cool air. Depending on the size and intensity of the
fire it may be necessary to adjust the fan speed accordingly to ensure uninterrupted fan operation. For example a small fire may require a slower
fan speed to keep the heat output by the fan consistent. If the blower is
operated in manual mode, it may be necessary to adjust the blower speed
as the fire begins to burn down and the stove is no longer hot enough to
effectively heat the air moved by the blower. If the air coming from the
blower feels cool, one should either decrease the blower speed or stoke
the fire to build up more heat.

OPERATING TECHNIQUES AND HINTS
ACHIEVING CLEAN, LONG BURNS
Recent developments in wood-burning technology have made wood-burning a cleaner and more convenient way to heat your home. Overall efficiency
in a wood-burning appliance is a combination of combustion efficiency
and heat transfer efficiency. Whether heating your entire home, or just a
room or two, your understanding of how to best operate your stove or
insert will enhance its overall efficiency and performance. What this can
mean to you is longer, cleaner burns, less wood use and more heat.
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR STOVE
The following sections will outline techniques you can use to “get the
most out of your stove.” Please read them carefully.
MAXIMIZING YOUR STOVE’S OVERALL EFFICIENCY
It is important to know that for high, combustion efficient, clean burns,
you will need to have sufficient temperatures inside the firebox for
thorough combustion. The best method for determining if you have suf-
ficient temperatures is to watch the brick lining in your firebox. When
you first light your stove, the bricks will turn a dark brown or black.
After 20 to 30 minutes of a hot fire, most of the bricks should return
to near their original light brown or yellow color. This means the bricks
have reached a high enough temperature for your stove to achieve high
combustion efficiency.
Second and just as important, is achieving a high level of heat transfer
efficiency. Slowing the rate of flow through the stove or insert enhances
heat transfer, thus allowing more time for heat to be transferred into your
home. To do this, be sure to thoroughly preheat your stove and then
reduce the amount of primary air by closing the draft control (lower left)
to about 1/2 to 3/4 open. This will decrease the excess oxygen in your
flue, which carries heat up your chimney, but should still be enough air
to allow the stove to produce its maximum heat output. (More air may
produce a lightly greater amount of heat, but will greatly increase wood
consumption). When the area being heated reaches a comfortable temperature, slow the burn rate by closing the control to further improve
heat transfer.
To get the most out of your stove, you will need to combine good combustion efficiency with good heat transfer practices. The following are
some tips on how to operate your stove to achieve the highest overall
efficiency.
1. Thoroughly preheat your stove before slowing the burn rate by closing
the draft control.
2. Measure the stove temperature at the hottest point on the stove top
or face. Use this information to repeat burn rates.
3. Once preheated, add wood (if needed) and partially close the draft
control (lower left).
4. Operate your stove as much as possible in the low to medium burn
ranges.
5. Do not lower the draft setting so low as to completely extinguish the
flames in the firebox. Check for at least some small flames twenty
minutes after setting the draft control.
6. Do not continually operate your stove in the high (wide open) setting.
This wastes wood by carrying a great deal of heat up the chimney
and can damage your stove and chimney.
7. Go outside and check your chimney. More than a very small amount
of smoke indicates wasted heat, creosote build up and pollution.
To achieve long burn times, after having thoroughly preheated the
stove, let the stovetop cool down to 275 to 400 degrees (on Elites,
locate thermometer on the face of the insert just above the door).
Now load the firebox and set the draft control. At this point, you may
need to burn the stove with the draft open for a few minutes to ignite
the wood. All Country™ Collection stoves are EPA tested for emissions
at low burn with the air control completely closed. Whether or not you
should burn your stove with the air control completely closed will depend
on the following factors.
* How you load your wood.
* Your chimney type, height and draft.
* Your wood type and its moisture content.
* The temperature of the stove.
* Which model Country Collection stove
or insert you have.
Experiment with different loading configurations to achieve longer
burns. Try loading the wood from side to side and nesting it in the ashes
to prevent airflow under and around the wood. Fresh wood should be
loaded to the back of the firebox or to the sides. Hot coals or half burned
wood should be brought towards the front of the firebox. The way you
load your wood can seriously affect burn times. If the new load does
not ignite within a few minutes, try crisscrossing the load to allow more
airflow around the fire, or try a slightly hotter stove temperature.
Determining the lowest setting for efficient low burns. This will require
some experimentation on your part. Try closing the air control all the way
with the stove temperature at 325 degrees to 350 degrees. If the flames
are completely extinguished, open the air control halfway and then slowly
close it until there is only a small amount of flame. It is important to check
the stove about 20 minutes after setting the draft control as it takes this
long for the stove temperature to stabilize. There should still be some
small flames on or above the wood load.
Use 325 degrees as a starting point
25 degrees higher or lower to achieve desired burn times, start 25 degrees
lower if the stove burns the wood too quickly or 25 degrees higher if there
are no flames in the firebox for more than a few minutes after loading the
wood. You may or may not need to burn the stove with the air control
open for a few minutes prior to setting the draft for a low burn, this will
depend on the factors mentioned above. Be sure not to smolder a fire
overnight. Check your chimney for large amounts of smoke as this
indicates very poor combustion.
It is important to realize that stove technology has changed. Stoves
have changed a great deal in the last few years. This has led to substantial
changes in the methods of operation in new stoves as compared to older
stoves. In old stoves without full brick linings and ceramic insulation, the
rule was “get the stove as hot as possible before setting the draft on low
for overnight burns.” On newer, high technology Country™ Collection
stoves, this is not necessary. Although it is still important to have the
stove hot enough to burn efficiently, it will require less preheating. Once
you have determined your optimum operating temperatures for various
burn rates, we believe you will find your stove an extremely convenient
way to achieve your heating needs.
Do not reload the stove for long burns when the stainless secondary
tubes or baffles are glowing red, or when the stove is uncomfortably
hot to load. This indicates the stove is too hot to load for a long burn.
Also, do not load wood for a long burn on a deep bed of hot coals. Try
stirring the coals a few minutes before loading the stove for a low burn
to allow some of the unburned coals time to burn.

DOOR HINGES: If door hinges need lubricating, use an anti-seize compound
(never use oil) available from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer.
DOOR LATCH:
in good condition, place a length of pipe (cheater bar) over the inside
portion of the door handle and bend slightly toward the door until the
proper adjustment is obtained. If the door handle does not close easily,
apply high temperature anti-seize to the striker.
DOOR GASKET:

(Don’t try substituting rope, only use special Lennox Hearth Products
door rope).
GOLD OR NICKEL PLATED DOOR:
cleaner and a very soft cotton cloth. Other products may damage brass,
paint and gaskets.
BAFFLE BLANKETS: Your baffle blankets should be inspected during
every chimney cleaning. If the blanket is compressed or heavily stained,
it should be replaced. Heavy creosote stains or matting is an indication
of improper use and your burning habits should be reviewed.
GLASS CLEANING:
use on wood stoves. Other products could damage gaskets and paint.
Never scrape glass with a razor blade. This can pit the glass and make it
impossible to clean in the future.
WINDOW GASKET: The window gasket can be checked by running the
flame of a match near the gasket and around the door. If the flame is
drawn in around the window, the gasket should be replaced.
DOOR HANDLE: Door handle may become tight as you use the stove.
Free the handle up by using dry graphite supplied with the stove. The
directions are included with the graphite.

SEE MAINTENANCE ON FOR GLASS CLEANING TIPS
The operator plays an important part in keeping the glass clean and free
of build-ups. The first and most important part the operator plays is making sure to burn only well-seasoned firewood. Wet wood = Dirty glass.
Keeping your glass door clean is partly accomplished by the air wash
system of the stove, which sends clean, fresh air for combustion, over
the window before it enters the fire. The high temperatures inside the
firebox also keep the glass clean. No stove door stays perfectly clean. The
following are methods for keeping build-up on your glass to a minimum.
When properly installed and operated by a knowledgeable operator, your
glass door should require very little maintenance. Do not expect to get
extremely long burn times and keep the window perfectly clean. Cool
temperatures cause condensation of unburned volatiles on the glass. If
your glass gets very dirty during overnight burning, try preheating the
stove a little longer before damping it down for an overnight burn. Also,
don’t damper your stove down as low because you’ll get more heat for
your money by burning a little hotter for a slightly shorter time.
The air wash system will perform at its best at medium burn rates. Some
stove models will self clean by burning very hot fires but be sure not to
over-fire the stove. If it glows red it is over-fired. Over-firing a stove also
causes the window to soot up. Extremely hot fires with fresh wood may
cause the flow rate to exceed one foot per second, which is as fast as a
flame can burn. This is why a candle goes out when you blow on it. Blow
on it gently and it burns brightly. Blow on it hard and it goes out. This will
cause excessive exhaust emissions and your window to soot up, as the
stove is unable to burn the gases emitted from the wood. Try slowing the
stove down a little by closing the damper somewhat as it warms up.
Keeping freshly loaded wood away from the window will also help. Load
fresh logs in the rear of the firebox. Build up tends to occur first on the right
side of the window. This is caused by the swirling motion of the exhaust
gases similar to water running down a drain. Keep fresh logs further back
on the right side of the firebox to help prevent this problem.
WARNINGS
Inspect and clean chimney and connector frequently.
Under certain conditions of use, creosote buildup
may occur rapidly.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Understanding how your Country™ Collection stove works should help
you keep your glass door very clean, but as stated: no glass door stays perfectly clean. We hope this information is helpful in keeping your
glass door clean so that you may enjoy many hours viewing your high
efficiency stove. For more information, contact your Lennox Hearth
Products dealer.
CAUTION
Cleaning Glass: Ensure appliance is cold prior
to cleaning glass. A commercial glass cleaner
designed for stoves is recommended. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. Do not clean with any materials,
which may scratch or otherwise damage the glass.
Scratches on the glass can develop into cracks or
break. Inspect the glass regularly. If you detect a
crack, extinguish the fire and contact your dealer
for a replacement.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Solution
POOR DRAFT: Extend chimney in length or have the chimney realigned to the proper size flue. Oversized chimneys nor-
mally have poor drafts. Remember, the stoves’ draft depend solely on the natural draft of the chimney (See
Drafting section on Page 4). If your stove is not drafting properly, your chimney is the problem. All stoves
are thoroughly tested to ensure proper draft with the correct size chimney flue.
EXCESSIVE DRAFT:With better chimneys being more common, excessive draft can be an issue. Alleviate excessive draft by
slowing the burn rate of the stove once it has reached proper operating temperature (See Maximizing Your
Stoves Overall Efficiency on Page 14).
DIRTY GLASS:1) Burn smaller, hotter fires and check to make sure you are not setting the draft down too far with the draft
control.
2) Make sure your wood is well-seasoned and dry (not open to rain - see Creosote and Fuel sections on
Page 5).
3) See Poor Draft section (above) and Clean Glass (above).
SMOKES WHEN 1) If smoke is entering the room, check to make sure your baffle boards are properly installed
DOOR IS OPEN: and that the baffle blankets are pushed back flush with the front of the baffle boards.
2) Check the chimney for blockage due to creosote (See Creosote section on Page 5).
3) Check draft (See POOR DRAFT section above).
WOOD BURNS 1) The draft control must be closed further.
TOO FAST: 2) Add fuel at lower firebox temperatures.
3) Load wood side to side and reduce the flow of air under wood.
4) The door seal may need replacing, check for leakage.
5) See “Excessive Draft.”
POOR HEAT 1) Check your wood. Wet, moist, unseasoned wood will not produce heat.
OUTPUT: 2) Your stove needs to be seasoned (moisture removed from the steel and brick). Continue to burn a fire.
It normally takes from one to three weeks of burning to season your stove (See Burn-In Procedures on
