INTRODUCTION
The Insert model covered in this manual is
a B-Vent gas heater designed for residential
application for installation into an existing
masonry or factory built solid-fuel fireplace
using 4" diameter, UL1777 listed aluminum
liner for the exhaust.
The vent must be routed through the existing
fireplace flue system to the vent termination.
This millavolt appliance is designed to operate
on either natural or propane gas. A millivolt
gas control valve with piezo ignition system
provides safe, efficient operation. External
electrical power is required to operate the air
circulation blower.
This appliance complies with National Safety
Standards and is tested and listed by OMNITest Laboratories Inc.; Beaverton, Oregon
(Report No. 116-F-15-5) to ANSI Z21.88
(in Canada, CSA-2.33), and CAN/CGA-2.17M91 in both USA and Canada, as vented
gas heaters.
Installation must conform to local codes.
In the absence of local codes, installation
must comply with the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 - latest
edition. (In Canada, the current CAN-1 B149
installation code). Electrical wiring must
comply with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/ NFPA 70 - latest edition. In Canada,
the current CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical
Code - latest edition.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Installation, repair and annual service inspection should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
It is imperative that the control compart-
ment, burners and circulating air passage
ways of the appliance be kept clean.
S'assurer que le brùleur et le compartiment
des commandes sont propres. Voir les
instructions d'installation et d'utilisation
qui accompagnent l'appareil.

This appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system (by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve) during
any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
This appliance and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at pressures greater
than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
GAS CONTROLS
These millivolt appliances are fitted with a burner
Off/On Switch, located on the side surround
panel as shown in Figure 4 on Page 4. Once the
pilot is lit, and valve knob is in the ON position,
the Off/On switch will control the appliance
Off/On operation. To operate, toggle the switch
between its ON and OFF positions.
Variable Flame Height Adjustment
These millivolt appliances are equipped with
variable gas control valves. Flame height may
be adjusted through a range between fixed low
and high settings by rotating the HI/LO knob on
the valve (see Figures 1 & 2) while the appliance
is in operation.
CONTROL COMPARTMENT ACCESS
Pull down hinged door to access control
compartment (see Figure 3).

This appliance must not be connected to a
chimney or flue serving a separate solid-fuel
appliance.
Burn-in Period
During the first few burns of these appliances
there will be some odor due to the curing of the
high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Depending on your use, the burn-in period may
take a few hours or a few days. Do not turn on
blower during Burn-In period.
IMPORTANT
Keep your house well ventilated
during the curing process. The
odor and haze emitted by the
curing process can be quite
noticeable and may set off a
smoke detector.
Lighting Millivolt Appliances
To light millivolt appliances refer to the detailed
lighting instructions found on Page 15 (English) and Page 16 (French). Millivolt appliance
lighting instructions may also be found on the
pull-out lighting instruction labels located in the
control compartment (below glass door).

OPERATIO N AND CAR E OF YOUR
APPLIANCE
WARNING
IMPORTANT
Appliance operation may be controlled
through a remotely located optional wall
thermostat or remote control.
In lieu of remote control or remote wall thermostat operation, the appliance must be operated
directly through the off/on switch located on the
side surround panel (see Figure 4).
If your millivolt appliance is equipped with an
optional wall thermostat kit or remote control
kit and the pilot is lit (and valve is in the On
position), the appliance main burner may be
turned on and off with the wall thermostat
or remote control.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable liquids.
Remember, millivolt appliances have a
continuous burning pilot flame. Exercise
caution when using products with combustible vapors.
MAINTENANCE
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and at
least annually by a qualified service technician.
However, more frequent periodic inspections
and cleanings should be performed by the
homeowner. Homeowner must contact a qualified service technician at once if any abnormal
condition is observed.
Refer to the maintenance schedule on Page
7 for maintenance tasks, procedures, recommended frequency and by whom they should
be performed. Always verify proper operation
of the appliance after servicing.
Always turn off the gas and unplug the power
cord to the appliance before cleaning. Before
re-lighting, refer to the lighting instructions
in this manual. Instructions are also found on
pull-out panels located below the glass door in
the control compartment.
Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials,
etc. It is important that control compartments,
burners and circulating air passageways of the
appliance be kept clean.
Turn off gas and electrical power
before servicing the appliance.
CAUTION
Wear gloves and safety glasses
for protection while doing
required maintenance.
IMPORTANT
Always verify proper operation
after servicing.
Check Burner Flame Appearance
Visually check the flame of the burner periodically making sure the flames are steady and not
lifting or floating (see Figure 13 on Page 8).
Glass Cleaning
Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of operation (after Burn-In period is over).
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically to remove any build-ups caused from the
following:
• During start-up, it is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass (this
condensation and fog will usually disappear
in a few minutes). This can cause lint, dust
and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface.
• Initial curing of the high temperature paint
and burning off of lubricants used in the
manufacturing process may result in a film
on the glass.
• A white coating may form on the glass as a
result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.
It is recommended that the glass be cleaned
two or three times during each heating season,
depending on the circumstances present.
Use one of the following to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar & water
• gas stove glass cleaner
Do not use abrasive cleaners
on glass. Never clean the glass
when it is hot.
WARNING
Do not attempt to touch the front
enclosure glass with your hands
while the fireplace is in use.
Servicing Blower
To access the blower assembly for maintenance, adjustment or replacement, see the
following procedure:
1. Unplug 120-volt A.C. power supply to
insert.
2. Shut off gas supply to insert.
3. Remove Glass Door (see Procedure
For Removing Standard Glass Door
Assembly on Page 8).
4. Remove log set, burner and grate.
5. Remove blower access panel and
gasket (see Figure 5 for model EBVI25
and Figure 6 for model EBVI30). Be
careful not to damage the gasket.

Small Area Paint Touch-up
The finish of the insert body and surround
(optional) is a high-quality powdercoat. Only
use factory supplied powdercoat paint kit for
touch-ups, cat. no. 90L74.
Do not attempt to repaint the insert until the
finish is completely cured (see Burn-In Period
on Page 4). If the surface later becomes stained
or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched
up with spray paint.
Paint is available at your local authorized Lennox
Hearth Products dealer. Never attempt to paint
a hot insert.
Inspect Wiring
Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure
that there is no melting or damage. Inspection
should include:
• Terminals at the valve
• Off/On switch
• Wall thermostat, remote control, or control
kit (optional parts)
• Spill switch
Refer to wiring diagrams on Pages 12 & 13.
