Vent Configuration Requirements
A minimum of 5 feet vertical pipe is required to vent the appliance. Lengthy horizontal pipe runs require sufficient length
of vertical pipe to deliver adequate draft. Use the table above
as a guide in planning your installation. The use of multiple
45° or 90° elbows should be compensated by providing additional vertical pipe run.
The B-Vent unit has a 4” B-Vent flue collar and may be installed with listed B-Vent piping and components. Refer to
the pipe manufacturer’s installation instructions for specific
requirements for their product. Maintain proper clearances to
combustible materials as specified by the pipe manufacturer.
Whenever vent pipe is run horizontally, maintain a minimum
1/4” rise per foot. Exterior B-Vent exhaust systems should be
enclosed in a chase to avoid rapid cooling of exhaust gases in
the vent. Such cooling could produce condensation of flue
gases or exhaust gas spillage. The use of a chase is highly
recommended in colder climates.
Notes:
Maximum total offsets allowed: Not to exceed 180 de-
grees.
Also see pipe manufacturers instructions for additional
vent installation requirements.

GAS SUPPLY HOOKUP (ALL MODELS)
If using pipe other than black iron pipe see NFPA 54-National Fire Protection Association / ANSI Z223.1-American National Standards Institute;
and local code for specific requirements for the type of pipe used. Alternative gas piping systems such as CSST may be used subject to local
code and proper sizing.
This appliance is equipped with a flexible gas line and fitting for
a gas supply line connection. Connection can be made using
either the 3/8” NPT male fitting or, by removing the fitting, to
the flex line 3/8” female flare. The flex line can be routed to the
gas supply through either the pedestal bottom or through the
rear pedestal cover depending upon the orientation of the supply line. Some areas may have certain restrictions against the
use of flexible gas lines. Check local codes. The gas appliance
control valve has a 3/8” NPT female type inlet for the gas supply
line, if hard plumbing is required.
If the gas supply will be routed to the appliance from the rear,
the flexible gas line for hookup is readily accessible. If the gas
supply will be routed to the appliance through the flooring, remove the rear panel. Redirect the flexible gas line through the
large hole in the center of the pedestal base for gas supply connection.
A gas supply line must be run to the appliance by a qualified
professional. The plumbing of the gas line must comply with
National Standards; NFPA 54-National Fire Protection Association / ANSI Z223.1-American National Standards Institute; and
local code.
Gas piping must not run in or through air ducts, clothes chutes,
chimneys or gas vents, dumb waiters or elevator shafts.
Piping should be sloped 1/4” per 15 feet (6mm per 4.6m) upward toward the meter from the appliance. The piping must be
supported at proper intervals every 8 to 10 ft. (2.4m to 3.1m)
using suitable hangers or straps.
The gas supply line must be purged of air before it is connected
to the appliance.
An accessible, approved shut-off valve must be installed upstream of any connector so that the appliance may be isolated
to allow service, removal, and replacement (within six feet of the
appliance per NFPA 54, or twelve inches in some codes). A
shut-off valve is provided with this appliance.
IMPORTANT: In case emergency shut-off is required, shut off
main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to appliance.
These devices should be properly labeled by the installer.
PRESSURE TESTING:
• The appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of *1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• The 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 psi (3.5 kPa).
Make the connection to the gas supply line using the correct
fitting required to the shut-off valve.

LOG SET
Removing & Cleaning Logs - Carefully remove the logs (removing top logs, then lifting front log out, then rear log). Use care
when handling the fiber logs, as they become quite fragile after
curing. Use a small soft-bristled brush (e.g., a nylon paint
brush) to remove soot, dust or debris that may have accumulated on the burner or log set. Remove the logs and burner, and
clean them outside the home in a location with plenty of fresh
air ventilation. Avoid breathing fine particulates of dust that
may be generated. See page 14, Installing Log Set for instructions on reinstalling logs.
Replacing Logs - If logs become damaged by accident or improper handling and need replacement, use only the proper replacement logs from manufacturer, which can be purchased
from your local dealer. See Page 25.
CLEANING BURNER
With the logs removed, vacuum out any foreign matter (lint,
carbon etc.) on the burner. Be sure the burner ports are “open.”
CLEANING VALVE / AIR VENTURI
Clean all lint and dust build-up around the control valve and air
shutter on the venturi. Inspect and clean with a brush or wire
the inlet of the venturi for any spider webs or lint accumulation.
Burner Assembl
Air Shutter
Ensure opening is clear
from lint, dust, spider
webs, debris, etc.
INSPECT WIRING / CAUTIONS:
1) Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
2) Verify proper operation after servicing.
3) Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure that there is
no melting or damage from rodents. Inspection should include:
• Terminals at the valve
• On / Off switch
• Wall Thermostat / Remote Control (optional kits)
VENTING SYSTEM
A periodic examination of the venting system must be performed to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air
is not obstructed (outlet and inlet is open and free from blockage). We recommend that you have your gas appliance checked
yearly by your independent Lennox dealer.
(Model L20 DVF-2) If the vent-air intake system is disassembled
for any reason, the service technician should follow vent manufactures instructions for proper reassembly and sealing of the
vent-air intake system.
IMPORTANT – APPLIANCES INSTALLED USING SIMPSON DURA-VENT
BRAND PIPE MUST SEAL ALL JOINTS WITH MILL-PAC BLACK, HIGH
TEMPERATURE SEALANT.
CLEAN EXTERNAL SURFACES
External surfaces should be kept clean and dust removed form
air inlets to the appliance. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. The appliance must be kept
clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
SMALL AREA PAINT TOUCH-UP
The stove body is painted with a quality high-temperature stove
paint. Use only model TSPK-C Stove Paint, Catalog # 19L92. Do
not touch-up this appliance with any other paint.
Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly sand
the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or smooth to the
touch between the painted and bare surfaces. Do not let the
sand paper gum up with paint, as this will cause scratches on
the metal surface. If there are any scratches, use 600 grit sandpaper instead. Mask off surfaces you do not want painted. Paint
lightly over the bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat.
Then paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to blend.
See Break-In Period on page 17 for information on curing the
paint.
CLEANING GLASS
The window on the gas appliance is made from a clear ceramic
material and may be cleaned when cool with any non-abrasive
product designed for use on glass windows. Do not use abra-sive cleaners on glass. The viewing glass should be cleaned
periodically. Exterior glass may be cleaned with a glass cleaner
as desired. Interior glass - use soap and water, or commercial
glass cleaner recommended for stove glass.
Note: Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation
and fog on the glass. This condensation and fog will disappear
in a few minutes.
CLEANING BLOWER INTAKE
The blower air intake requires cleaning at least once a year to
remove lint, dust, etc. If there are pets in the dwelling, the intake
should be cleaned at least twice a year.

MAINTENANCE
Always Turn Off Gas Control Valve Before Cleaning. Annual Maintenance Should Only Be Performed By A
Qualified Service Technician:
(ALL MODELS)
PERIODIC CHECK OF PILOT AND BURNER FLAMES
Check the operation of the pilot and cycle the burner. Visually
check the flame of the burner making sure the flames are
steady; not lifting or floating. The flame color should be blue at
the burner with yellow body and tops.
Cycle unit a minimum of 2 times
• Watch for smooth burner ignition and shut down.
• Burner: Check flame patterns.Ensure that burner flame
appearance does not vary greatly from diagram shown on
this page.
• Pilot: Ensure pilot flame appearance does not vary greatly
from diagram shown below.
PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE
A proper pilot flame should consist of torch-like flame issuing
from the pilot hood as shown in illustration below.
Proper Pilot Appearance
BURNER FLAME APPEARANCE
A periodic visual check of the pilot and burner flames should
be performed. If either the pilot or burner flame do not show
proper appearance or behavior, as outlined here, consult a
qualified gas appliance technician.
A proper burner flame is shown above. The burner flame
should have the following characteristics after initial start-up
(let appliance burn 15 to 20 minutes prior to accessing flame
appearance):
• Excessive impingement (contact of flame with logs)
should not occur.
• Rear burner flames should have yellowish tips; no soot
should form at burner flame tips.
• Flames should not raise off of burner (no “lifting” of
flame).
Air Shutter Adjustment
The flame can be adjusted to give the proper flame appearance
and to prevent sooting on the window or logs by adjusting the
position of the primary air shutter (located at the rear center
inlet to the burner). The air shutter should be positioned approximately 1/4 open for Natural Gas and approximately 1/2
open for LP Gas. . See page 15, Burner Air Shutter.
NOTE: During periods of high natural gas demand, the gas
supplier may add “make-up gases” to the pipeline. This addition will change the composition of the supply gas, and may
cause a change in burner flame appearance. You may also
notice soot formation on the logs and viewing windows.
Check with your gas supplier if you suspect a change in the
composition of your gas supply.

SPILL SWITCH
This appliance is equipped with a “Spill Switch” which is a
safety device that will shut off gas to the burner in case of sustained back draft or flue gas spillage from the draft hood. The
purpose of this safety device is to prevent potentially harmful
gases from entering your home in the event of a blockage in the
vent system. Once the switch has been activated, the burner
cannot be relit until the switch is reset manually (see Accessing and Resetting Spill Switch on this page). Repeated tripping of
the switch may indicate there is an obstruction in the venting
system. Other possible causes for the spill switch tripping are
listed below (ordered from most likely to least likely). Note: Ensure that appliance is cold before performing any checks.
Troubleshooting Check List (Qualified Technicians Only)
Flue Blockage - Check venting system for blockage (e.g. bird
nest, damage, etc.).
Down draft (Is a high wind termination cap installed?).
Examine entire venting system for faults such as discon-
nected joints or damaged vent sections.
Check the vent sizing according to specifications, and vent
configurations (correct venting system, if necessary).
Inadequate make-up air supply in the dwelling, resulting in
negative pressure, inhibiting exhaust flow of the appliance.
(evaluate and determine ways to increase make-up air, if necessary, within the area of the installation).
Switch. Set Multimeter on ohms and do an ohm check between
terminals on switch. A “O” ohms reading indicates a good switch.
An infinite ohms of “1” reading indicates a defective (or open)
switch.
If spillage is suspected, a simple spillage test can be conducted
to confirm or out rule a spillage condition (see Spillage Test on
this page).
ACCESSING AND RESETTING SPILL SWITCH

SPILLAGE TEST PROCEDURE
A flue spillage test is recommended as part of the installation
and periodically afterwards.
1. Remove Rear Access Panel, if necessary (Fig. 1).
2. Close all the doors and windows in the room. Turn ON all
exhaust fans in the home.
3. Light the appliance. Adjust burner flame to highest setting
and operate for approximately 10 minutes before checking
for spillage.
4. Use an open flame (preferably a wooden match) or smoke
(cigarette, burning rope) to determine if spillage is present.
To test for spillage, move the flame or smoke device across
the opening at the bottom of the draft hood as shown below. If the flame or smoke is drawn into the opening, there
is no spillage. If the flame or smoke is blown out or away
from the opening, spillage is present and corrective action
should be taken before operating the appliance (see bullets
under Spill Switch on this page).

3. Locate Spill Switch and press the red button in the center of
the switch (press in firmly until button stays depressed). See
Fig. 2, 3 & 4.
4. Perform Spillage Test prior to reinstalling Rear Access Panel
(see Spillage Test Procedure on this page).
