(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 21)
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 doing required
maintenance.
Verify proper operation after servicing.
S'assurer que l'appareil fonctionne adéquatement une fois l'entretien terminé.
Always turn off the gas before cleaning.
Before re-lighting, refer to the lighting
instructions in this manual. Instructions
are also found on a pull-out panel located
in the control compartment.
Always keep the appliance area clear
and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable liquids.
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 qualified 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.
Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and
Installation on Page 12).
Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of opera-
tion (after Burn-In period is over) and then only
when necessary and when the fireplace is cool.
Wipe surface with a clean, dampened, soft cloth.
Follow with a dry, soft towel as desired. Take
care not to scratch the glass surface.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners
on glass. Never clean the glass when it
is hot.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodically to remove any build-up 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). 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 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. The
following cleaning solutions are approved for
use to clean glass:
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner
• 50%-50% mix of white vinegar and water
• Gas fireplace/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 firmly.
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 appliance
be kept clean.
Clean Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when handling the fiber 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.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Replacing Logs
If the logs become damaged by accident or
improper handling and need replacement,
use only the proper replacement logs from
manufacturer (see Pages 25 and 26 for order-
ing information).
Reinstall Embers and Logs
Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 13 through 15. 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 Page 18.
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
• CPI Switch (pilot mode)
Inspect Burner Flame and Pilot Flame
Appearance
Periodically do a visual check of the burner
flame and the pilot flame. Ensure that the
burner flame appearance resembles the flame
shown in Figures 13and 14 and as described
in Flame Appearance and Sooting on Page
16. Refer to Figure 16 on Page 17 for more
information about the pilot flame appearance.
Contact a qualified service technician at once
if any abnormal condition is observed.
Small Area Paint Touch-up
Only use a factory supplied paint kit for touchups. Paint is available at your local Lennox
Hearth Products dealer. Never attempt to
paint a hot fireplace.

Glowing Embers
INSTALL VOLCANIC STONE, GLOWING
EMBERS, AND LOGS
WARNINGS
• DO NOT attempt to install the
logs until the appliance installation has been completed, the
gas line connected and tested
for leaks and the initial burner
operation has been checked
out.
•
The size and position of the log
set was engineered to give the
appliance a safe, reliable and
attractive flame pattern. Any
attempt to use a different log
set in the fireplace will void
the warranty and will result in
incomplete combustion, sooting, and poor flame quality.
•
Logs get very hot and will
remain hot up to one hour after
gas supply is turned off. Handle
only when logs are cool. Turn
off all electricity to the appliance before you install grate,
volcanic stone, embers and
logs.
•
This appliance is not designed
to burn wood. Any attempt to
do so could cause irreparable
damage to the appliance and
prove hazardous to your safety.
•
If logs are not installed accord-
ing to the log installation
instructions, flame impingement and improper combustion could occur and result in
soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide (CO),
a colorless, odorless, toxic
gas.
Step 2. Install Volcanic Stone.
Sprinkle the volcanic stone in a pleasing pattern. The volcanic stone should be placed
directly on top of the firebox bottom, along the
front and to the back at the right and left sides
of the burner. Position any optional ceramic
fiber liners before placing the stone. Logs
should be positioned after the volcanic stone.
Note: This appliance is provided with enough
Glowing Embers for several applications, do
not feel compelled to use all that is in a new
bag. For best glowing effect, replace the ember
material annually. Replacement Glowing Embers are available (Catalog Number 88L53).
Glowing Embers
Separate into Quarter
Size (separate) Pieces
Bag of Glowing
Embers (rockwool)
Figure 9
Step 3. Separate the Glowing Embers into
pieces about the size of a quarter (Figure 9).
Keep the pieces fluffed up, not matted.
Distribute these pieces over the front surface
of the burner, as shown in Figure 10, but DO NOT PLACE OVER BURNER SLOTS.
Do not use more than is necessary. When
properly positioned, the Glowing Embers will
cover approximately 65% of the front burner
and with no appreciable gaps or openings.
Ensure that the main burner ports remain
uncovered by the ember material.
Step 4. Placement of Logs
All top logs that rest on lower logs, do so over
notches, indents or nubs. Proper log placement
is critical to prevent sooting. Logs should be
placed in the gaps between the flame peaks and
should be positioned so they do not impinge
the flames.
Step 5. Position the individual logs as shown
in Figures 11 and 12. Logs should be placed
in the order shown. All logs that have notches
to fit over the grate tines should be positioned
with these notches directly against the grate.
Handle logs carefully to prevent breakage.
Proper log placement is critical to encourage
outstanding flame appearance and prevent
sooting. When positioned properly as shown,
logs will be positioned between flame peaks
and will not impinge any flames.

BURNER 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 first lit, the entire flame
may be blue and will gradually turn yellowishorange during the first 15 minutes of operation.
If the flame remains blue, or if the flame 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 flames 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.
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, first 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 flames that appear
blue and transparent. These weak, blue and
transparent flames are termed anemic.
• Propane models may exhibit flames which
candle or appear stringy. If this is present
and persists, adjust the air shutter to a more
closed position, then operate the appliance
for a few more minutes to ensure that the
flame normalizes and the flames do not
appear sooty.

in Figure 15.
2. Light the appliance (follow lighting procedure
on lighting label in control compartment or
in this Care and Operation Instructions).
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. If the following
conditions are present, adjust accordingly.
• If flame appears weak or sooty, adjust
the air shutter, incrementally, to a more
open position until the proper flame
appearance is achieved.
• If flame remains blue, adjust the air
shutter, incrementally, to a more closed
position until the proper flame appearance is achieved.
4. Reinstall the lower control compartment
