INTRODUCTION
The Fireplace models covered in this manual
are Direct-Vent sealed combustion gas fireplace
heaters designed for residential application.
Direct-Vent appliances operate with the combustion chamber completely isolated from the
indoor environment. All air for combustion is
brought in from the outside and exhaust gases
are vented through the same direct vent, co-axial
(intake/exhaust) vent system.
The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with piezo ignition system provides
safe, efficient operation. If any optional accessories which require electrical power are being
installed, the electrical power must be provided
at the time of appliance installation.
The Electronic appliances have an electronic
intermittent pilot system provides safe, efficient
operation. External electrical power is required
to operate these appliances.
These appliances comply with National Safety
Standards and are tested and listed by Omni-Test
Laboratories (Report No. 116-F-29-5) to ANSI
Z21.88 (in Canada, CSA-2.33), and CAN/CGA-
2.17-M91 in both USA and Canada, as vented
gas fireplace heaters.
The Installation must conform to local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54-latest edition, or the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1-latest
edition. The appliance, when installed, must
be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
the latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1 - latest editions.

Burn-in Period
During the first few fires 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 film may develop on the glass front
during the first few fires as part of the curing
process. The glass should be kept clean during
the first two weeks of use to prevent the film from
baking on (making it very difficult to remove).
See Cleaning Glass on Page 5.

variable gas control valve. Flame height for
these models may be adjusted through a
range between fixed low and high settings
while the appliance is in operation.
Adjust the flame height as desired after lighting
the appliance by rotating the variable adjustment
control knob (HI/LO) located on the front of the
valve (refer to Figures 4 & 5).
2. During the first initial burns of these appli-
ances, there will be some odor emitted (see
Burn-In Period on Page 3 ).
3. Keep the lower 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, pet hair, etc. It is very important
that the control compartments, burners
and circulating air passageways of the
appliance are kept clean.
4. Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) and let the appliance cool down
before cleaning. Before re-lighting, refer to
the lighting instructions in this manual. Lighting instructions may also be found on the
pull out lighting instruction labels attached
to the gas control valve.
5. Always keep the appliance area clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable liquids.
6. Remember, Millivolt appliances have a continu-
ous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution when

Cleaning Glass
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and
Installation on Pages 6).
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.
Replacing Logs -
WARNING
Turn off gas and electrical power
before servicing the appliance.
CAUTION
Wear gloves and safety Glasses
for protection while doing
required maintenance.
IMPORTANT
Always verify proper operation
after servicing.
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). 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.
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.
Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of operation (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 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:
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 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 & 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.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
If the logs become damaged by accident or improper handling and need replacement, use only
the proper replacement logs from manufacturer
(see Page 23 for ordering information).
Re-Install Embers, Logs and Volcanic Stone
- Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 7 to 9 ). All logs should fit onto cor-
responding pins and/or log stoppers. This will
ensure a proper flame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 11.
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 flame shown in Figure 9 and
as described in Flame Appearance and Soot-
ing on Page 9. The Homeowner must contact
a qualified service technician at once if any
abnormal condition is observed.
Small Area Paint Touch-up
The finish 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 LHP dealer,
cat. no. 90L74. Never attempt to paint a hot
fireplace.
5
Do not attempt to repaint the appliance until the
finish is completely cured (see Burn-In Period
on Page 3). If the surface later becomes stained
or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched
up with spray paint.
