TABLE OF CONTENTS CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PURCHASE OF YOUR NEW WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE INSERT MANUFACTURED BY LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS. Important Warnings ................................................ 2 Testing/Listing, EPA, Using this Manual.................. 3 Planning Your Installation .....................................
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacturers’ instructions. The installation of a wood burning appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements before installation is essential.
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION Raised Firebox CLEARANCES WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OBSERVE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES. DO NOT STORE FIREWOOD WITHIN THIS CLEARANCE SPACE. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO ALL COMBUSTIBLES MAY RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE. There are listed clearances for your fireplace insert which were determined in a Laboratory testing and must be maintained.
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES This appliance is approved for installation into a listed factory built solid fuel burning fireplace. The fireplace firebox must accept the insert without modification other than removing bolted or screwed together pieces such as smoke shelf/deflectors, ash lips, screen or door tracks and damper assemblies, that must be reinstalled to restore the fireplace to its original operating condition if the insert is removed and not replaced.
INSTALLATION FIREPLACE INSTALLATION CHIMNEY TERMINATION CAP ENSURE CHIMNEY IS SOUND CATALYTIC TEMPERATURE PROBE Install temperature probe prior to installing insert. To install the Catalytic Temperature Probe locate the plug on the top, right-hand side of the bypass control rod. Remove the plug, install the sleeve, and place probe in sleeve. It may be necessary to bend the flange on the plug so it won't interfere with the probe temperature indicator. MASONRY FIREPLACE: APPROVED LINER – 6” DIA.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION STEPS 1. Remove all ashes from the fireplace. 2. Remove all materials inside the insert and set them aside. 3. Remove the surround panel (face shield) and attach insulation material provided using a nonflammable adhesive (i.e. RTV High Temperature Silicone). 4. Use a large piece of cardboard or other protective material and place it in front of the fireplace to protect floor or carpet during installation. 5. Remove the insert from its wood pallet by removing the screws. 6.
INSTALLATION Heat Deflector Must Be Installed If There is a Mantel Mantel Heat Deflector 14. Push the insert to its desired position in the fireplace. The depth may vary as long as the starter pipe or other connecting pipe system can be effectively installed. SURROUND ASSEMBLY IMPORTANT: Do not face seal over chimney cooling air system on superior brand or any brand fireplace which is designed with the chimney cooling air system. 15.
INSTALLATION POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION FOR MASONRY FIREPLACE A Professional should inspect chimney prior to installation to determine if any repairs are necessary or if a chimney reline is necessary. The fireplace damper must be secured in the open position. If this is not possible, it will be necessary to remove the damper. Installation into a masonry fireplace requires as a minimum of a flue extension past the header.
PROCUCT FEATURES AND CONTROLS AIR AND DAMPER CONTROLS BLOWER SYSTEM The 500-CFM room air circulation blower system comes equipped with a variable speed control (rheostat). The blower system can be operated manually or set to operate automatically (so the blowers will turn on when the insert is hot and turn off when the insert is cool). See Care and Operation Section – Blower System on page 14.
CARE AND OPERATION FUEL DOOR CAUTION: When opening the door, do not extend it beyond its normal travel. Overextending the door to a further open position can put excessive stress on hinge area of door and hinge pins and may result in breakage. This unit is designed to provide a flow of air over the inside of the glass, where along with high heat helps keep it clean. When operating the fireplace insert on low for extended periods of time, the glass may get dirty.
CARE AND OPERATION BREAK-IN PERIOD Your fireplace insert finish is a high temperature paint that requires time and temperature to completely cure. We recommend that you ventilate the house during the initial burns. The paint emits non-toxic odors during this process. KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING THE CURING PROCESS TO PREVENT ACTIVATION OF YOUR HOME SMOKE DETECTOR. The paint manufacturer recommends three burn cycles to cure the paint. The first two burns should be low heat, approximately 250°F.
CARE AND OPERATION BLOWER SYSTEM The Blower System consists of a ON/OFF rocker switch, a variable speed blower speed control switch (rheostat), a thermally activated switch (fan disc) and 4 axial blowers. When starting a fire, leave the blower system off until the insert is thoroughly heated (approx. 30 minutes after start up).
MAINTENANCE BURN RECOMMENDED FUEL This appliance is approved for use with natural dry wood only. Burning materials other than natural wood will shorten the life of the catalytic combustor. Do not burn particleboard or pressed logs using bonding agents as they can produce conditions which will deteriorate metal or damage the catalyst. Green or uncured wood does not work well as fuel, and can cause increased creosote buildups and plugging of the catalytic combustor.
MAINTENANCE DOOR / GLASS GASKET AND ASH DUMP GASKET A 3/4" spun fiberglass gasket provides the seal around the fuel door and a flat spun fiberglass rope gasket (1/8” x 1”) provides the seal around the glass. If the optional ash drawer is installed, a cerawool pad (4 1/4” x 8 3/8” x 1/2”) provides the seal for the ash dump cover. Should these gaskets become frayed or damaged, they should be replaced with the same size and type as the original gasket. Contact your dealer for ordering.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING BLOWERS The blowers require inspection and cleaning annually to remove lint, dust, etc. If there are pets in the dwelling, the blowers should be cleaned at least twice a year To access, remove blower covers (remove the two ¼” hex head screws on each panel), then inspect propellers (replace if cracked or broken) and vacuum out lint, dust, and debris. CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR This appliance has been designed with a catalytic combustor, which will improve its overall performance.
TROUBLESHOOTING * SMOKES OUT FUEL DOOR WHEN OPEN 1. The primary air control is closed. 2. The chimney is too cool. Set the primary air control on "HIGH" with the bypass damper control "OPEN" for a few minutes before opening the fuel door. 3. Excess creosote will not only restrict your draft but it will create a risk of a creosote fire. Strictly adhere to maintenance requirements as outlined in this manual.
TROUBLESHOOTING OVERFIRING If any part of the appliance glows, it is overfiring. Other symptoms may include: Cracking, warping or burning out of components, catalytic combustor may deteriorate, gold doors may turn color, stove glass may develop a haze which will not come off with cleaning, firebox baffle plate (tunnel baffle) may warp, etc.
