ORIFICE SIZE/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
THE VINTAGE™ STOVE
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M),the orifice should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper ratio of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing may result in damage and unsafe conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a quali fied service technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for proper orifice sizes.
SMOKE DETECTORS
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.

Residential Vented vertical and horizontal Manufactured (mobile) home Natural gas (NG) or propane (LP) Bedrooms Optional wall-mounted or remote thermostat
Venting
This stove can be vented with Security™ Secure Vent™ pipe*. Coaxial pipe diameters are 6-5/8” outer and 4” inner. The combustion air for this stove is drawn from outside the house through the outer DV (direct vent) pipe. Room air is not required for combustion.
When planning your installation, select the correct length of vent pipe for your particular requirements. Determine the minimum clearance to combustibles from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also important to note the thickness of the wall. Before cutting the vent hole through the wall make sure that ALL vent and termination clearances (see Page
15) will be met.
Electrical
The standard fan motor requires 120 Volts AC for operation. The stove is not dependent on the fan or an outside electrical supply to operate.
WARNING - Electrical Grounding Instructions - This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protec­tion against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Millivolt Valve
This stove is operated with a millivolt valve and therefore burns even during a power outage.
Fuel
This stove comes from the factory equipped to burn natural gas at a specified elevation. The stove can be converted to burn LP gas (liquid propane) by changing the cassette (valve and pilot assembly) or installing a conversion kit. Only Lennox Hearth Products conversion kits can be used to convert from NG to LP or LP to NG. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for details.

Corner Installation
The minimum width between alcove side walls is 30-1/2” (775mm). The glass door lifts up to access the firebox on the stove. Therefore, if the stove is to be installed in an alcove, the alcove needs to be constructed to allow for removal of the glass door. Option 1: The maximum alcove
depth is 15” (381mm) (maintaining a 4” [102mm] rear clearance
the stove will be positioned partly into the room) and the remaining minimum dimensions to combustibles are as shown in the Option 1 drawing below. Option 2: The alcove is 43” (1092mm) high to provide sufficient space to remove the door. The maximum depth of the alcove is 24” (610mm). Option 3: Should an alcove depth from 2 feet (.61M) to 4 feet (1.22M)be desired then the minimum alcove height is 54” (1372mm). Access to the stove’s controls should be considered when determining the alcove size.

Log Installation Instructions
If logs are not installed according 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.
Figure 10
Figure 11
The size and position of the log set is critical to achieve 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.
Parts list: rear log, left front log, right front log and straight twig
1) Remove the logs from the box and carefully unwrap them. The logs are fragile so handle them with care.
2) Align the holes in the bottom of the rear log (the longest log in the set) with the two pegs just to the rear of the rear burner tube and slide the log down onto the pegs log should face the front.
3) The left front log has two pegs protruding from the top surface
11). The charred black with white highlights surface of the log should be facing forward. Slide this log down onto the left front and center front pegs.
4) The right front log (positioned with the black charred surface towards the front) should be placed on the peg protruding from the right end of the left front log and the remaining peg at the right end of the metal log support panel
5) The remaining straight twig has two holes in the bottom. Position the twig so the black and white charring is to the front and slide the holes over the peg in the left front log and the peg in the rear log (Figure
12). It may be necessary to roll the top of the rear log slightly forward to put this twig on the pegs.
6) Figure 13 shows the entire log set assembled. The embers provided may be placed one high in front of the front burner tube using care not to cover all the burner ports. Any extra embers may be placed at the ends of the front log, off the burner. Place small pinches of rockwool on top of the embers.

Side-Insert Installation
Follow these steps to install the cast iron inserts or your own custom stone inserts in the Vintage™ gas stove:
Upper Cast Piece
1. Remove the cast iron top and set it aside.
2. Remove the cast iron upper piece A - see Figure 14. Complete this step by unscrewing the (2) 5/32 hex-head screws labeled B in Figure 17. Lift out the upper cast piece A with the retaining bracket D attached.
3. Slide the cast iron or stone side inserts (size 15.5”x 10.5”) (with the desired surface facing out) in behind the lower retaining bracket E. See Figures 15, 16 and 17. Note that the cast iron inserts are reversible
- both sides have different designs.
4. Slide the heatshield (with the bent edges toward the cast or stone inserts - Figure 15) in between the cast or stone insert and the lower retaining bracket E.
5. Put the cast iron upper piece A back in its original location while making sure that the upper retaining bracket D is to the inside of the heatshield pushing it up firmly against the cast or stone insert - Figure
16. Reinstall the 2 screws B.
6. Reinstall the top.

Tile Inserts
Should a Vintage owner prefer, tile can be used as the top and side inserts. The top inserts are 10-3/4” x 4-3/8” and the side inserts are 15-1/2” x 10-1/2”. The stove can accommodate tile up to 1/2” thick. If 12” x 12” tile are used to make the side inserts, a seam will result. The tile and the heatshield should be positioned so the seam between the two pieces of tile is located between the two bends on the heatshield (see Figure 18 Also note that the seam and the heatshield can be rotated 180 degrees so the seam and the heatshield bends are on the bottom.
