SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING YOUR FIREPLACE MODEL ELITE ME43

WARNING: AN OUTSIDE AIR KIT MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE FIREPLACE MODEL ELITE ME43.

WARNING: THE FIREPLACE MUST BE OPERATED WITH THE DOORS FULLY OPENED OR FULLY CLOSED. IF THE DOORS ARE LEFT PARTLY OPENED, GAS AND FLAME MAY BE DRAWN OUT OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.

• Use only Lennox Fireplace glass doors, spe-

cifically designed for the model ELITE ME43 fireplace. (See Appendix for part number).

• Always keep the fire screen or the doors

closed and the damper opened when using the fireplace. Keep the damper closed when the fireplace is not in use.

• The ME43 fireplace is sold with a steel log

grate. If you have to replace it, we recommend for optimum efficiency, to replace it with an identical or similar Lennox model grate.

• A fireplace insert heating unit may be in-

stalled in the fireplace only if this unit has been certified with the ME43 fireplace.

• This fireplace must be installed with Secu-

rity Chimneys FTF8 (8" inside diameter) chimney System only. These systems are intended for use in any application where a traditional masonry type fireplace would apply. The chimney system must always vent to the outside of the building.

• This fireplace has been tested for installa-

tion in Canada to CAN/ULC S610-M87 and ANSI/UL 127-1996 under report number 192-5166. For installations in Canada,

the chimney clearance to combustibles must be 2 inches and the Cold Climate Kit must be installed.

• The minimum installed height of the com-

pleted fireplace system is 15' 0". The maximum height is 60' 0".

CAUTION: NEVER USE GASOLINE, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS FIREPLACE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE FIREPLACE AT ALL TIMES.

CAUTION: KEEP COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AT LEAST 48 INCHES AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING.

CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED WHEN THERE IS A FIRE BURNING IN THE FIREPLACE.

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH WOOD OR CERTIFIED PROCESSED SOLID FUEL FIRE LOGS. DO NOT POKE OR STIR THE LOGS WHILE THEY ARE BURNING. USE ONLY FIRE LOGS THAT HAVE BEEN EVALUATED FOR THE APPLICATION IN FIREPLACE AND REFER TO FIRE LOG WARNINGS AND CAUTION MARKINGS ON PACKAGING PRIOR TO USE.

WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT APPROVED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THIS FIREPLACE.

FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE

CREOSOTE

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called 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. If the creosote accumulation is large, a creosote fire in the chimney can damage the chimney and overheat the surrounding wood framing. Creosote formation in a chimney can be minimized by making small hot fires rather than slow burning, smouldering fires.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE

Door Frame Care

Glass Replacement

Regular chimney inspection and maintenance combined with proper operation will help prevent chimney fires. Keep your chimney clean. Do not allow more than a 1/16" (1.6 mm) buildup of creosote in your chimney. The amount of creosote will depend on variables such as frequency of use and type of fire. We recommend that you follow the instructions below:

1. Initially, inspect the chimney system weekly. By doing this, you will learn how often it will be necessary to clean your chimney.

2. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep. Chimney maintenance should only be conducted by a qualified technical or chimney sweep company.

3. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep your chimney clean.

The raincap can be removed for inspection and/or cleaning of the chimney. Unscrew the braces which attach the raincap to the chimney. Using gloves, firmly grip the upper portion of the rain cap. Turn the cap and lift it off the chimney.

CHIMNEY FIRES

If you are having a chimney fire, follow these steps:

1. Close the glass doors and the air inlet.

2. Close the chimney outside air register.

3. Alert your family of the possible danger.

4. If you require assistance, alert your fire department.

5. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the fire. Do not use water as it may cause dangerous steam explosions.

6. Watch for smouldering or fire on combustibles next to the fireplace and chimney. Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the roof.

7. Do not use the fireplace again until your chimney and fireplace have been inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or a fire department inspector.

Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish the frame. Do not use abrasives such as steel wool or steel pads for they may scratch the door frame finish.

Glass Cleaning

The ELITE ME43 is designed to keep the glass clean under normal operating conditions. To clean the glass there are a number of specially designed cleaners. Your authorized LHP Dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner. Regular household glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do not use abrasives such as steel pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.

Doors Adjustment

Glass doors may lose their adjustment during transportation or installation of the fireplace. A wrong adjustment may cause a loss in combustion’s efficiency and control. The glass doors must be parallel, at the same height and must almost touch each other when closed. Maximum spacing between the doors is one sixteenth of an inch (1/16’’).

The glass doors can be adjusted by loosening the three (3) screws of the hinges’ supports (see fastening screws in figure 1). If a minor angular adjustment is needed, you may loosen only two (2) of the three (3) screws using the other as a pivot point.

Fastening

Screws

The glass used for the ELITE ME43 doors is a high temperature ceramic glass. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with a ceramic glass such as Neoceram. Tempered or ordinary glass will not withstand the high temperatures of the ELITE ME43. Replacement glass should be purchased from your local LHP dealer. Do not operate the unit with cracked or broken glass. To remove the glass panel, unscrew the frame screws, remove the interior frame and the glass panel.

Removal Of Ashes

Remove ashes only when the fire is out and the ashes are cold. Lift the front of the log grate until it rests against the rear refractory; then remove the ashes. 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 cinders have thoroughly cooled. Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

OPERATING THE ELITE ME43

Fuel

The Elite ME43 is designed to work best when fueled with seasoned cordwood. Hardwoods are preferred to softwoods since the energy content of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer burning fire and less frequent refueling. A moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is preferred. Excessively wet wood will be difficult to burn and will result in lower efficiency and increased creosoting.

Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or wood such as driftwood from the ocean which has been exposed to salt or other chemicals. Salt or chemicals can corrode the firebox and chimney. Do not abuse the unit by burning large amounts of paper, cardboard, Christmas tree branches or building construction materials such as pressed wood, plywood or lumber. Intense firing with these may overheat the fireplace, causing damage to the unit, a fire, or even possibly igniting a chimney fire, if the chimney is creosoted.

HOW TO USE THE RETRACTABLE DOORS AND FIRESCREENS

The Lennox Fireplace Model ME43 features retractable doors and firescreens in order to allow a wider view of the fire and save space when the doors are opened. To retract the doors, simply open them at 90° and push them into the opening on the side of the firebox. The same procedure applies for the retractable firescreens. (

Note : Do not operate the fireplace with both fire-screen and doors closed at the same time.

see Figure 2

HOW TO USE THE OUTSIDE AIR REGISTER (FIREPLACE)

The outside air register is located on the upper part of the top louver. The outside air register supplies oxygen to the fire and allows control of the fire when the doors are closed. The fresh air must come from outside the house (the air intake must not draw air from inside the house). This will minimize negative pressure in the house. The more you slide the register to the left, the more fresh air into the firebox and the more accelerated combustion you will get (

see Figure 3

). When starting a

fire, the register should always be fully opened.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Please Read Before Installing:

1. Before beginning the installation of your fireplace, read these safety tips and installation instructions carefully to be sure you understand them completely. Failure to follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

First Fires

The first 5 or 6 fires should be small fires of short duration (about 30-60 minutes). The first fire should be especially short. This will help cure the refractory bricks. The first fires may produce slight smoking due to drying of the paint and steel and any dust accumulated on the fireplace will be burn off at this time. For this reason the room should be well ventilated during the first few fires.

Building A Fire

To start a fire, place several crumpled up balls of newspaper in the firebox. Place small dry pieces of kindling on top of the paper, crisscrossing the kindling so that there is airspaces in between. Place the larger pieces of kindling on top of the pile. Keep the fuel far back enough so that air can get underneath. Open the air control fully and light the newspaper. Once the kindling fire is well established, cordwood can be added.

The unit will burn best with a minimum of two pieces of cordwood spaced 1" to 2" apart and allowing air to get under the fuel. Crisscrossing or arranging the fuel so that air can get underneath, will help the fire to get started easily.

Hearth Extension Requirements

A non-combustible hearth extension must be built in front of the fireplace and extend out on both sides. Hearth extensions must be constructed according to the following guidelines:

1. A layer of sheet metal 0.018" (0.45 mm) thick or 3/8" (9 mm) thick milboard or any other material (tiles, marble, granite) with equivalent heat resistance may be used. Check with the local building authorities before installing to determine what other materials are acceptable in your area.

2. The hearth extension should be secured to the floor. The gap between the fireplace and the hearth extension must be sealed with non-combustible caulking or cement.

3. On a raised base or raised hearth, a “Z” shape piece of metal must be fabricated to join the bottom of the fireplace to the floor.

Outside Air Assembly

The outside air assembly is mandatory for the fireplace

Outside Air Installation

The outside air assembly must be installed according to the following guidelines:

1.The maximum length of 4" I.D.(100 mm)

insulated flexible duct is 20 ft (6.1 m ). If a longer duct is required, use a 6" I.D (150 mm) insulated flexible duct. The maximum length is 40 ft (12 m ). Refer to figures 8b and 8c for connections.

2.The duct and register may be installed above

or below floor level.

3.The outside air register must not be in-

stalled more than 7 feet (2.1 m) above the base of the fireplace.

4.The outside air assembly must draw air

from outside the house. It must not draw air from the attic, the basement or a garage.

5.Locate the outside register where it will be

well away from automobile exhaust fumes or other vents.

6.The outside air register should be installed

where it is not likely to be blocked by snow or exposed to extreme wind

7.It is recommended to install the outside air

register at floor level. However, if you must raise the air register above the fireplace level, you will have to make a loop to the floor with the flexible pipe to prevent from causing a draught in the outside air register (

see Figure 8 Detail A

During operation, the fireplace requires air for combustion and draws air out of the house. It may starve other fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil furnaces. As well, exhaust fans and fan driven appliances may compete for air, causing a negative pressure in the home, resulting in smoke entering the home from the fireplace. This situation is aggravated in modern airtight houses.

To overcome this potential problem, the in-

stallation of an outside air assembly is required to provide outside combustion air

to the fireplace.

INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Step 1. Before continuing, check the operation

of the damper.

Step 2. Using standard construction framing techniques, construct opening for chimney route up through the ceiling(s) and roof or through an outside chase.

Framing must maintain adequate minimum air space clearance at all times.

CAUTION: ALLOW MINIMUM 2" CHIMNEY AIR SPACE TO COMBUSTIBLE FRAMING MEMBERS THROUGHOUT VERTICAL OR OFFSET CHIMNEY INSTALLATION.

A minimum 2" air space must be reserved for all combustible materials extending for any continuous length surrounding the chimney.

Reference ing Dimensions for Ceiling and Roof, which specify minimum ceiling and roof dimensions.

and charts Fram-

Step 3. Position appropriate firestop spacer at ceiling and nail temporarily with two (2) 8d nails. Use flat firestop spacer, Model F8FS-2, if chimney penetrates ceiling vertically. If chimney penetrates ceiling at 30° angle (offset chimney), use 30° firestop spacer, Model F8FS30. Use one nail on opposite sides to hold firestop spacer in position. Nail permanently, using at least two (2) more 8d nails, after chimney sections have been assembled through the firestop spacer and after any necessary adjustments have been made. Firestop spacer must be secured by at least four (4) 8d nails when completely installed.

Note: If there is a room above ceiling level, firestop spacer must be installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If an attic is above ceiling level, firestop spacer must be installed on top side of ceiling joist (Figures 16 and 17 ).

Step 4.

Chimney sections are constructed with a unique locking tab design, which ensures an immediate, tight assembly between sections. Plan your chimney requirements carefully before assembly as chimney is difficult to disassemble after installation. If disassembled, the tabs might become damaged. Be certain tabs are properly formed to ensure locking tabs engage properly.

The Security Chimney's FTF8 chimney system is a two piece chimney, which snap together from the fireplace up. Start with the inner flue section with the lanced end up, snap lock it in to the matching collar on top of the fireplace. At all subsequent joints, the upper flue section fits into the preceding flue section. Each piece snaps together by means of locking tabs (9 locking tabs per joint). Check each piece by pulling up slightly from the top to ensure proper engagement before installing the next section. If the flue has been installed correctly, it will not separate when you test it. Also, the inner flue joint where each section is joined should be tight and flat without gaps (

Figure 21

Outer pipe section installs in just the opposite way; the lanced end goes down and each new section goes OVER the outside of the previous section installed (

Figure 22

Locking Tabs (Lances)

Note: Assemble one component of chimney at

a time (inner section first, then outer section last) before proceeding with the next complete section.

Continue to assemble the chimney up through framed opening. Assemble just enough to penetrate the roof flashing openings (

Figure 23

). Always maintain 2" minimum air space to combustible materials and always check each chimney joint (inner and outer) to ensure proper engagement. Check vertical alignment of chimney so that it projects from the roof in true vertical position.

Figure 23

Security's chimney sections do not need to be screwed together. Additional reinforcement is not necessary except in certain offset conditions (refer to page 17,

Figure 34

Step 5. The height of vertical chimney pipe supported only by the fireplace must not exceed 30'. Chimney heights above 30' must be supported by a Model FTF8-S4 stabilizer installed at 30' intervals.

Note: The Model FTF8-S4 adds 3" net effective height to the total chimney system.

Install the Model FTF8-S4 stabilizer by fitting inner section down into respective section of proceeding flue pipe and locking outer stabilizer section into place over the outer chimney pipe. Position for proper clearance through framed opening and nail straps securely (under tension in “shear”) into place on framing. Use 8d nails. Attach successive lengths of chimney pipe directly to stabilizer using same techniques as described in Step 4 (

see Figure 24

FTF8-S4 Stabilizer

Figure 24

Note: Do not apply excessive pressure to any

subsequent chimney sections following the stabilizer when installing. Ensure each subsequent chimney section is securely attached by testing as noted in Step 4.

Step 6. Select the proper Security Chimneys roof flashing based on pitch of roof. Use chart below for selection:

Roof Pitch Model

Flat to 6/12 F8F6

6/12 to 12/12 F8F12

Next, slide roof flashing over extended chimney section that previously has been installed above the roof opening in Step 4. Slide flashing all the way down until the flashing base rests flat on the roof (

Figure 25

). Again, check the vertical position of the chimney and the 2" minimum air space to combustibles.

Page 13

Step 7. Secure flashing by nailing along the perimeter into roof using 8d nails. If shingled roof, slide upper end and sides of roof flashing under shingles (trim if necessary), seal the top and both sides of the flashing to the roof with roof caulking. Cover nail heads with roof caulking (

see Figure 26

Step 9. Security Chimneys locking bands, Model FLB, may be required if the chimney extends too high above the roof flashing. As a general rule, if the chimney extends more than 6' above the roof flashing, the use of locking bands is advisable to strengthen the chimney assembly. Align the locking band at the chimney joint. Locking bands wrap around pipe joints equally covering the joints of both pipe sections. Use the nut provided and TIGHTEN snugly. Do not overtighten as this might damage the chimney section (

refer to Figure 27

Step 8. The standard Security FTF8 roof flash-

ing assemblies include a storm collar. Slide the storm collar over outer chimney, rest on flashing spacers and align with top surface of flashing. Insert tab in slot, pull tight and bend tab back over slot. Seal storm collar to outer chimney with roof caulking or mastic around entire circumference of pipe. Also add extra roof caulking to the tab/slot area to seal completely against water penetration (

Figure 27

Check all joints very carefully to ensure no water intrusion can take place.

Mastic

Note: If chimney extends more than 8' above

roof surface, guy wires are also recommended. Use three (3) guy wires, attach to locking band assembly, extend and secure to roof in a triangular pattern (see Figure 28 ). Guy wires are not supplied by the manufacturer.

To determine the number of chimney sections and chimney components required, follow these steps:

1. Determine total vertical height of the fireplace installation. This dimension is the distance from the surface the fireplace sets on to the point where smoke exits from the termination.

2. Determine the number of chimney components required, except chimney sections. This would include firestop spacers, stabilizers, roof flashing, etc.

3. The effective heights of the components are:

Figure 30

Note: It is recommended that all exterior ex-

posed metal fireplace components; such as terminations, flashings, storm collars and/or flue be painted with a premium quality, high temperature, rust preventative paint designed for metal. This is especially important when installations are made in abnormally adverse or corrosive environments; such as near lakes, oceans or in areas with consistently high humidity conditions. Consult the paint manufacturers instructions for proper preparation and application.

TEN FOOT RULE SUMMARY

The minimum chimney height above the roof and/or to adjacent walls and buildings is specified by all major building codes.

If the horizontal distance from the peak of the roof is less then 10', the top of the chimney must be at least 2' above the peak of the roof.

If the horizontal distance from the chimney edge to the peak of the roof is more than 10' a chimney height reference point is established on the roof surface 10' horizontally from the chimney edge. The top of the chimney must be at least 2' above this reference point. In all cases, the chimney cannot be less then 3' above the roof at the edge of the chimney.

The 2' in 10' rule is necessary in the interest of safety but does not ensure smoke-free operation. Trees, buildings, adjoining roof lines, adverse wind conditions, etc., may require a taller chimney should the fireplace not draft properly (

refer to Figure 30

MULTIPLE TERMINATIONS

If more than one termination is located in the same chase or within the same general proximity, we suggest they should be separated in distance at least 24" horizontally from flue center to flue center and stacked or staggered vertically at least 18" apart, from the termination of one smoke exit to the termination of another smoke exit (

This suggestion is provided in the interest of better operation. If the terminations are located too close to each other, smoke may migrate from one flue into the other.

FTF8 CHIMNEY COMPONENT CALCULATIONS

The minimum installed height of the completed fireplace system is 15' 0". The maximum height is 60' 0".

The Fireplace = 36 ¹⁄₄" FTF8-12 = 10 ¹⁄₄" FTF8-18 = 16 ¹⁄₄" FTF8-36 = 34 ¹⁄₄" FTF8-48 = 46 ¹⁄₄" FTF8-CTD Termination = 4" FTF8-CT1 Termination = 12" to 18" FTF8-CT2 Termination = 15" to 23" FTF8-CTDT Termination = 12" to 18" FTF8-S4 Stabilizer * = 3"*

* Required for every 30' of vertical chimney and/or 10' of offset chimney.

4. Determine amount of chimney height required by subtracting total combined height of all pre-selected components (fireplace and chimney components from total desired height.)

Reference Vertical Elevation Chart and determine the number of chimney sections (quantity and length) required.

SPECIAL OFFSET INSTRUCTIONS

To clear any overhead obstructions, you may offset your chimney system using Security Chimneys 30° offset and return elbows. Use two elbows - an offset elbow to initiate the offset and a return elbow to terminate it. A 30° offset elbow, angling in any direction, may be the first component used off the top of the fireplace flue collar.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

Page 15

The offset and return elbows may be attached together, or a section or sections of chimney may be used between, but do not exceed 20' in total length between elbows. If sections of pipe exceed 10' between elbows, a chimney stabilizer must be used at the midpoint (

Figure 32

The stabilizer support straps must be attached under tension (in shear) to structural framing members above. When two sets of elbows are used, the maximum combined length of chimney used between elbows cannot exceed 20' (

Figure 33

). Example: If C1 = 10' then C2 cannot

exceed 10'.

If an offset exceeds 6' in length, each chimney joint beyond the first 6' of offset to the return elbow, must be secured by a No. 8 x ¹⁄₂" sheet metal screw located at the underside of the joint (

Figure 34

A ¹⁄₈" diameter hole must be drilled in the chimney joint using a ¹⁄₈" diameter drill. Hole should be drilled in center of joint overlap (

Figure 35

). Be sure to drill only through the

outer chimney casting. Do not puncture the inner flue.

Maximum offset of chimney system is 30°. Two offsets must not be assembled to form a 60° offset. However, two sets of offset and return elbows may be used on a single flue system, provided the total height of the system exceeds 25'.

Return elbow support straps must be securely attached under tension (in shear) to structural framing members above. Do not substitute a FTF8-30 offset elbow in place of a FTF8-E30 return elbow.

OFFSET CALCULATIONS

Step 1. Use Offset Chart to determine amount

of horizontal offset (A) and height (B) for various chimney section assemblies.

Step 2. Use “Height of Chimney Only” column in The Vertical Elevation Chart to determine combinations of chimney used above return elbow to achieve desired heights. Reference Components Effective Height Chart in vertical elevation chart section.

Step 3. Use Elevation Chart as job estimator only. Add necessary firestop spacers and stabilizers as required. Firestop spacers must be used as shown in stabilizers as shown in

First, review the Offset Elevation Chart and

Figure 36

for reference.

Step 1. Determine the offset distance where chimney is to pass through the first ceilingdimension “A.” To find this point on your ceiling, first determine the center point for a vertical chimney following the instructions for vertical installation.

Measure height to the ceiling from the top of fireplace-dimension “B.” Use the appropriate Offset Elevation Chart to find dimension “A.” Mark point where you will drive your nail to show the center point for your offset ceiling cut.

Step 2. Proceed by using the Straight Up Installation Instructions for cutting and framing ceiling and roof openings.

Note: See Framing and Dimension Chart for the sizes of the ceiling and roof openings. The size of the roof opening varies with the degree of pitch of the roof.

Offset Elbow Assembly

Offset elbows install the same as chimney sections. First, snap the inner section INTO the preceding inner section of flue. Check connection by pulling up slightly to ensure a tight fit. Next, the outer sections snap lock OVER the preceding outer section of chimney. Again, check outer section by pulling up slightly to ensure proper connection is made.

Return elbows install the same way as round terminations and stabilizers:

Step 1. Hold return elbow over top of last chimney section.

Step 2. Center inner slip section into inner flue pipe-slip down.

Step 3. Center outer-locking section over outer chimney pipe. Push down until locking joint has firmly engaged.

Step 4. Pull up slightly on return elbow to ensure locking joint has firmly engaged.

Step 5. Secure support straps to framing members by nailing under tension in sheer
