optional remote switch kit (wall switch, remote
control, rocker switch, or wall thermostat) and
the pilot is lit, the appliance main burner may
be turned on and off using the optional switch.
Note: To prevent excessive resistance in burner
circuit (which can cause burner operation
problems), only one burner control switch
should be wired to valve.

MAINTENANCE
(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 24)
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 gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) before cleaning. Before relighting, refer to the lighting instructions
in this manual. Instructions are also found
on a pull-out panel located in the 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 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
(Also see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal
and Installation on Page 11.)
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 clean, dampened, soft cloth.
Follow with a 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.
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 Sub-Floor And Burner
Carefully remove the contemporary media
covering the firebox sub-floor. Place it in a
container for future use. Vacuum out any
foreign matter (lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner.
Ensure the burner ports are “open.” Remove
any carbon deposits from the burner outlet
using a vacuum cleaner, or a soft bristled
brush (i.e. paint brush).
Replacing Contemporary Media
Replace the contemporary media previously
removed. See Pages 12 and 13. Use only
the proper replacement materials from the
manufacturer (see Pages 19 and 27 for order-
ing information).
Note: Improper positioning of media can create
carbon build-up and will alter the performance
of the appliance.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 16.
CAUTION: When servicing controls, label
all wires prior to disconnection. 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
• 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 flame shown in Figures 6 and 7 on Pages 13 and 14 and as described in
Flame Appearance and Sooting on Page 14. The
Homeowner must 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 authorized
Lennox Hearth Products dealer. Never attempt
to paint a hot fireplace.
If the surface later becomes stained or marred,
it may be lightly sanded and touched up with

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.
After 15 minutes of operation, if the flame is
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 openings 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 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.
Figure 7 - Burner Flame Appearance Model MLDVTCD-35
(River Stone And Beach Sand With Porcelain Panels Shown)
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines
• If there is smoke or soot present, 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.
The following chart is provided to aid you in
achieving the correct air shutter adjustment
for your installation.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE MILLIVOLT CONTROL SYSTEM
Note: Before troubleshooting, be sure that the appliance main line gas shut-off valve, the gas control valve and the wall
switch are in the “ON” position.
Important: Valve system troubleshooting should only be accomplished by a qualified service technician.
SYMPTOMPOSSIBLE CAUSESCORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark igniter will not light pilot after
repeated triggering of igniter button.
WARNING: if the pilot will not light
after 1 minute of attempting, wait
for at least 5 minutes for gas to
clear before attempting again.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following the lighting
instructions.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to burner, Valve
knob “ON,” and the (standard) burner
OFF/ON switch is “ON." Read important note below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If an optional
*remote switch is used for burner
operation, the unit-mounted burner
OFF/ON switch (if installed) must be
in the "OFF" position.
*Optional remote switch kits - wall
switch, wall thermostat or remote
control.
4. Frequent pilot/burner outage prob-
lem.
A. Defective igniter
(no spark at electrode).
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 suf-
ficient millivolts.
C. Plugged burner orifice.Check burner orifice for blockage and remove.
D. OFF/ON Switch and *Remote Switch are
in the "ON" position resulting in excessive
resistance.
A. Pilot flame may be too low or blowing (high)
causing the pilot/valve safety to drop out.
Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and
electrode wire is properly connected, replace igniter.
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 – should be
1/8" to have a strong spark. If gap does not measure
1/8", replace pilot (see Figures 9 or 10 on Page 15).
as marked on the rating plate.
Check pilot flame, it must impinge on thermocouple
(see Figures 9 or 10 on Page 15). 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
“OFF.” 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 Figures 9 or 10
on Page 15).
