CONTROLS FOR OPTIONAL
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR KIT
An optional outside combustion air system
may be used with these appliances to provide
supplemental combustion air from outside the
home during appliance operation. If used, the
outside combustion air kit must be installed
before the fireplace is framed and enclosed in
the finished wall.
The Outside Air Control Lever for this type of
system is standard on all models (see Figure
5); however, do NOT operate the Outside Air
Control Lever if the complete system is NOT
installed.
When a complete outside supplemental com-
bustion air system is installed, the installer will
remove the securing screw from the control
lever on the LEFT side of the fireplace opening
(see Figure 5).
If the securing screw has NOT been removed,
and you have reason to believe your fireplace
has a complete outside supplemental combus-tion air system, contact your dealer or distributor to have your appliance inspected.

The hand-operated outside air control lever is
located on the lower LEFT side of the fireplace
opening. See Figure 5.
To open the outside air shutter, open the bottom control access panel, reach into the control
compartment, and pull the outside air control
lever all the way out. The outside air shutter
should be fully open when the fireplace is in use
and completely closed when the fireplace is not
being used. Closing it when not in use will greatly
reduce the amount of outside cold air entering

LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS • MERIT® SERIES B-VENT GAS FIREPLACES • MODELS MLBV-35, MLBV-40 • CARE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 26)
Refer to the maintenance schedule for maintenance
tasks, procedures, frequency, and by whom they
should be performed. Always verify proper operation of the appliance after servicing.
WARNING
Turn off gas and electrical power
to the fireplace and allow it to
cool before cleaning or servicing
the appliance.
CAUTION: Wear gloves and safety
glasses for protection while performing
required maintenance.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne adéquatement une fois l'entretien terminé.
Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) before cleaning.
Before relighting the fireplace, refer to
the lighting instructions in this manual.
Instructions are also found on pull-out
panels located below the glass enclosure
panel, in the appliance control compartment.
Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should be
thoroughly inspected before initial use and
at least annually by a qualified service technician (inspection should include ensuring that
exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed
and vent components are properly assembled
and not damaged). Homeowner must contact
a qualified service technician at once if any
abnormal condition is observed.
If the venting system is disassembled for any
reason, a qualied 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.
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 firmly.
Clean Glass Enclosure Panel
(Refer to “Removing and Installaing the Glass
Enclosure Panel” on Page 11).
Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of
operation (after burn-in period is over) and
then only when necessary and ONLY WHEN
THE APPLIANCE IS COOL. Wipe surface with
clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with dry,
soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch
the glass surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive cleaners on glass. Never clean the glass when
it is hot.
Clean the glass periodically, to remove any
buildup caused by the following:
• Filmy coating (during initial use after installation). Initial curing of the high temperature
paint and burning off of lubricants used in
the manufacturing process may result in a
filmy coating on the glass.
• Dusty or dirty buildup. It is normal for con-
densation and fog to form on the inside of
the glass when first starting the appliance.
This condensation and fog will usually
disappear within a few minutes; however,
over time the moisture can cause lint, dust,
and other airborne particles to cling to the
glass surface.
• White coating. 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. The following cleaning solutions are approved for use to
clean the glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50% white vinegar and 50% water
• Gas replace/stove glass cleaner
Clean Control Compartment
Keep 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 appli-
ance be kept clean.
Clean Logs and Burner
Carefully remove the logs.
Note: Use care when handling the 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 buildup and will alter the
performance of the appliance.
Order Replacement Logs
If the logs become damaged and need to be
replaced, use only the proper replacement logs
from the manufacturer (see Pages 13 and 14
for ordering information).
Reinstall Embers and Logs
Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 12–14. All logs should fit onto corresponding pins and/or log stoppers. This will
ensure a proper flame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Pages 18 and 19.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
ATTENTION: Au moment de l'entretien
des commandes, étiquetez tous les fils
avant de les débrancher. Des erreurs
de cáblage peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement inadéquat et dangereux.
Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure
that there is no melting or damage. Inspection
should include:
• Terminals at the Valve
• Optional Control Switch (Wall ON/OFF
Switch, Unit-Mounted ON/OFF Switch, or
Remote ON/OFF Control System)
Inspect Burner Flame Appearance
Ensure that the burner flame appearance
resembles the flame shown in Figures 11 and 12 and as described in “Flame Appearance
and Sooting” on Page 15. The Homeowner
must contact a qualified service technician at
once if any abnormal condition is observed.
Small Area Paint Touch-up
If the surface becomes stained or marred, it
may be lightly sanded and touched-up with
spray paint available from your local authorized
Lennox Hearth Products dealer.
NOTE:
•Only use factory-supplied paint for
touch-ups.
•Never attempt to paint a hot fireplace.

BURNER AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENTS
(QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY)
Flame Appearance and Sooting
Proper flame appearance is a flame which is
blue at the base and becomes yellowish-orange
in the body of the flame. When the appliance
is rst lit, the entire ame may be blue and will
gradually turn yellowish-orange during the first
15 minutes of operation. After 15 minutes of
operation, if the ame is blue, or if the ame is
orange with evidence of sooting (black tip), the
air shutter opening may need to be adjusted.
If the air shutter opening is closed too far, sooting
may develop. Sooting is indicated by black puffs
developing at the tips of very long orange flames.
Sooting results in black deposits forming on the
logs, appliance inside surfaces and on exterior
surfaces adjacent to the vent termination.
Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in
the ames and lack of combustion air entering
the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be
adjusted between these two extremes.
Figure 11: Burner Flame Appearance Model MLBV-35
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, rst check
the log set positioning to ensure that the
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.
If the log set is properly positioned and a
sooting condition still exists, then the air
shutter opening should be increased.
• The more offsets in the vent system, the
larger the air shutter opening will need to be.
• An appliance operated with the air shutter
opened too far, may have ames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit ames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present and
persists, adjust the air shutter to a more open
position, then operate the appliance for a few
more minutes to ensure that the flame normalizes and the flames do not appear sooty.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.

3. Allow the burner to operate for at least 15
minutes while observing the flame continuously to ensure that the proper flame appearance has been achieved (see Figures 11 and 12 on previous Page). If the following
conditions are present, adjust accordingly.
• If ame appears weak or sooty, adjust
the air shutter, incrementally, to a more
open position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
• If ame stays lowered blue, adjust the
air shutter, incrementally, to a more
closed position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
4. Leave the control knob (off/pilot/on) in the
ON position and the burner OFF/ON switch
OFF (and remote switches, if applicable).

following the lighting instructions.
3. Pilot burning; no gas to burner;
valve knob set to “ON”; and
burner OFF/ON switch (unit-mounted
switch, wall switch, or remote
control) is set to “ON.”
4. Frequent pilot/burner outage
problem.
A. Defective igniter (no spark at electrode).Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and
electrode wire is properly connected, replace igniter.
B. Defective or misaligned electrode at pilot
(spark at electrode).
C. Gas supply pressure errant.Check inlet gas pressure. It should be within the limits
D. Pilot orifice plugged.Clean or replace pilot orifice.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple).
A. Wall switch or wires defective.Check wall switch and wires for proper connections.
B. Thermopile may not be generating
sufficient millivolts.
C. Plugged burner orifice.Check burner orice for blockage; remove, if found.
D. OFF/ON Switch and *Remote Switch are
in the ON position, resulting in excessive
resistance.
A. Pilot ame may be too low or blowing (high),
causing the pilot/valve safety to drop out.
Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot
and trigger the igniter button again. If pilot lights, an
improper gas mixture caused the bad lighting and a
longer purge period is recommended. If pilot will not
light, check gap at electrode and pilot; it should be
1/8" to have a strong spark.
as marked on the rating plate.
Check pilot ame, it must impinge on thermocouple
(see Figure 14 on Page 16). Clean and/or adjust pilot
for maximum flame impingement on thermocouple.
Ensure that the connection between the valve and
thermocouple are tight and secure.
Jumper wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner
comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper
wires across wall switch wires at valve, if burner comes
on, wires are faulty or connections are bad.
Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at
thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 325
millivolts minimum with optional wall switch in the
“OFF” position. Replace faulty thermopile if reading
is below specified minimum.
When turning on the burner using a *remote switch,
ensure that the standard OFF/ON switch is in the “OFF”
position. If both switches are in the “ON” position,
it may result in excessive resistance (and millivolt
drainage) and the burner may not come on.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple (see Figure 14 on
Page 16).

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE – ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
Note: Before troubleshooting, make sure the appliance main line gas shut-off valve, gas control valve, and wall switch (if applicable) are in the
“ON” position.
Important: Valve system troubleshooting should only be performed by a qualified service technician.
SYMPTOMPOSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Nothing happens when
ON/OFF switch is turned
on (pilot does not spark).
2. Main burner does not
light and igniter is
sparking.
3. Main burner lights;
then shuts off
unexpectedly.
A. Low voltage/or bad lead
wires.
B. Damaged igniter wire.
C. Damaged pilot assembly.
D. Batteries Low
A. No fuel supply.
B. Loose sensor wire.
C. Loose wires to valve.
D. Loose wires to ignition
module.
E. Air in gas line.
F. Low voltage.
A. Gas supply is set to
“OFF.”
B. Loose wires to valve.
Check voltage on AC terminals of module an/or batteries. Voltage should be
between 2.7 and 3.2 VAC. Make sure wire connections are secure.
Check for visible cracked casing, cuts, etc.
Check pilot assembly for visibly broken spark electrode, etc.
Check voltage on DC terminal of batteries. The value should be around 3.0V.
Make sure gas supply is turned on.
Make sure sensor wire connection is securely connected.
Make sure black, green, and orange wires are securely connected to the valve.
Make sure black sensor wire and black igniter wire are securely connected to
ignition module.
Purge gas line of air.
Test voltage at AC terminals of module and/or batteries.
Voltage should be between 2.7 and 3.2 VAC.
Set gas supply to “ON.”
Make sure black, green, and orange wires are securely connected to the valve.

4. Soot on logs and/or
glass.
C. Loose wires to ignition
module.
D. Flame does not engulf
flame sensor.
E. Obstructed vent system.
A. Flame impingement on
the log.
B. Improper air shutter
opening.
Make sure black sensor wire (“S”) and black igniter wire (“I”) are securely
connected to ignition module.
Check location of sensor.
Check vent system for obstructions. Reset safety limit switch (see Page 17).
