Burn-in Period
During the fi rst few fi res of this appliance there
will be some odor due to the curing of the
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.
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED
DURING THE CURING PROCESS. THE ODOR
AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE CURING
PROCESS CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND
MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.
If an optional blower is installed, Do not turn it
on during the Burn-In period.
A white fi lm may develop on the glass front
during the fi rst few fi res as part of the curing
process. The glass should be kept clean during
the fi rst two weeks of use to prevent the fi lm from
baking on (making it very diffi cult to remove).

Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and at
least annually by a qualifi ed service technician
(inspection should include ensuring that exhaust
or intake passages are unobstructed and vent
components are properly assembled and not
damaged). If the venting system is disassembled
for any reason, a qualifi ed service technician
should follow vent installation instructions for
proper reassembly and proper sealing of the
venting system components. However, more
frequent periodic inspections and cleanings
should be performed by the homeowner.
Clean Lower Control Compartment
Keep lower control compartment clean by
vacuuming or brushing it out at least twice a
year (also clean the air venturi with a brush or
wire). More frequent cleaning may be required
due to accumulation of lint from carpeting,
bedding materials, pet hair, spider webs, etc. It
is very important that control compartments,
burners, circulating air passageways and air
venturi on the appliance are NOT obstructed
in any way.
IMPORTANT
It is imperative that the control
compartment, burners and circulating air passage ways of the
appliance be kept clean.
Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal
and Installation on Page 7). Note: Clean glass
after fi rst two weeks of operation (after Burn-In
period is over) and then only when necessary
and when the fi replace is cool. Wipe surface
with clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with
dry, soft towel as desired. Take care not to
scratch the glass surface.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically to remove any build-up caused from the
following:
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
5
IMPORTANT
Do not use abrasive cleaners
on glass. Never clean the glass
when it is hot.
• 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). The moisture 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 fi lm
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. The
following cleaning solutions are approved for
use to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar & water
• gas fi replace/stove glass cleaner
Inspect Glass Gasket - Visually inspect the
gasket on the backside of the glass enclosure
panels. The gasket surface must be clean, free
of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
Clean Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when handling the fi ber logs, as they become quite fragile
after curing). Vacuum out any foreign matter
(lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner. Ensure the
burner ports are “open.” Remove any carbon
deposits from the under side of the logs using
a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristled brush (i.e.
paint brush). Note: Improper positioning of
logs can create carbon build-up and will alter
the performance of the appliance.
Replacing Logs -
If the logs become damaged by accident or
improper handling and need replacement, use
only the proper replacement logs from manufacturer (see Page 24 for ordering information).
Re-Install Embers, Logs and Vermiculite
- Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 8 to 10). All logs should fi t onto corresponding pins and/or log stoppers. This will
ensure a proper fl ame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 12.
WARNING
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation
after servicing.
Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure
that there is no melting or damage. Inspection
should include:
• Terminals at the Valve
• OFF/ON Switch
• (Optional Control Switch) Wall Thermostat,
Remote Control or Remote Wall Switch Kit
Inspect Burner Flame Appearance
Ensure that the burner flame appearance
resembles the fl ame shown in Figure 13 and
as described in Flame Appearance and Sooting
on Page 10. The Homeowner must contact
a qualifi ed service technician at once if any
abnormal condition is observed.
Small Area Paint Touch-up
The fi nish of the appliance is a high quality powdercoat. Only use factory supplied
powdercoat paint kit for touch-ups. Paint is
available at your local authorized Lennox Hearth
Products dealer , cat. no. 90L74. Never attempt
to paint a hot fi replace.
