IMPORTANT SAFETY AND WARNIING INFORMATION read THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY and understand these Rules to follow for safety. 1. When this room heater is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the installation instructions. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area. 2. Wear gloves during installation to avoid injury from sharp edges on the insert and/or its parts. 3.
Testing Information This manual describes the installation and operation of these non-catalytic wood heaters. These heaters meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions limits for wood heaters sold on or after July 1, 1990. This heater has been developed, tested and constructed in accordance with the requirements of UL 1482, ULC S628 and HUD standards and is listed by OMNI Test Laboratories, Portland, OR. It has been approved for residential and alcove installations.
Negative Pressure Warning Fuel This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure. In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace cold air returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in close proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure in the same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous back drafting of the fireplace insert and chimney joints, drawing combustion by-products into the home.
WARNING: IF THE BRICKS ARE NOT INSTALLED EXACTLY AS SHOWN THEY COULD FALL OUT OF PLACE DURING REFUELING OR BURNING OF THE INSERT CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. Brick Installation Brick Installation CAUTION: Wear gloves during brick installation in case of sharp edges inside the fireplace insert. Note: Installation of the baffle boards and baffle blanket is easier when you can still access the flue outlet, (before connecting the flue vent).
Required Clearances Maximum Mantel Depth = 9” (229mm) COMBUSTIBLE MANTEL WARNING: BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HEATER AND THE SURFACE OF ANY COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION IS NOT LESS THAN SHOWN ON THIS PAGE.
Using the r formula: Hearth Protection The hearth and/or floor protection must be a thermally rated noncombustible hearth/floor protector meeting or exceeding a thermal rating of k=.84 or equivalent with a listed thickness of listed thickness of 3/4" (19 mm) minimum in the USA and Canada. The covering must extend USA-16”/Canada-18” (C260) and 22” (E260) in front of the heater and 8” to the side (measured from door opening in the USA and measured from the side of the unit in Canada).
Chimney Requirements This appliance is approved for use in a masonry fireplace built to UBC Chapter 37 or equivalent with a minimum 30-1/2” (775mm) opening width at the front of the fireplace. This appliance may be installed using 6” chimney in vertical installations utilizing a 8” to 6” reducer (cat. # 71134) at the flue collar.
POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION A full chimney liner is recommended A positive flue connection is providing a seal between the vent pipe or liner and the existing fireplace chimney for the purpose of preventing room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. There are different approved methods to achieve this. See Direct Connect Positive Flue Connection on this page. When creating a positive flue connection, a positive flue connector ring kit is required (sold separately - see Figure 7).
Clearance to Combustibles See “Required Clearances” on Page 7. Fireplace Pre-Installation Preparation NOTE: LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS RECOMMENDS PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION BY A LICENSED AND BONDED INSTALLER. SEE YOUR DEALER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR MIS-USE WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. Remove any doors or screen materials from the fireplace opening. Remove the damper mechanism completely. Also remove grates or ember catches inside the fireplace hearth.
Operating Hints Starting and Maintaining a Fire 1. Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood for maximum heat output. In some states it is illegal to burn wet wood or anything other than clean, dry wood products. 2. Your fireplace insert is designed to operate with the door closed! Operate only with the door shut tightly at all times except when loading wood and possibly on start up to establish a draft. Never leave the unit unattended while the front door is slightly opened. 3.
BLOWER OPERATION Blower Operation The blower can be operated manually or automatically (blower will turn on when the insert is hot and turn off when the insert is cool). The rocker switch on the control panel allows you to select between manual operation or automatic operation as follows (see Figure 10): MANUAL OPERATION: Turn rocker switch to the manual position (up) and adjust rheostat knob to the desired speed.
Operating Techniques and Hints Recent developments in wood-burning technology have made woodburning a cleaner and more convenient way to heat your home. Overall efficiency in a wood-burning appliance is a combination of combustion efficiency and heat transfer efficiency. Whether heating your entire home or just a room or two, your understanding of how to best operate your stove or insert will enhance its overall efficiency and performance.
Maintenance CAUTION Door Hinges: If door hinges need lubricating, use an anti-seize compound (never use oil) available from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer. Door Latch: If your door latch fails to latch tightly and the gasket is in good condition, place a length of pipe (cheater bar) over the inside portion of the door handle and bend slightly toward the door until the proper adjustment is obtained. If the door handle does not close easily, apply high temperature anti-seize to the striker.
Troubleshooting Problem Solution POOR DRAFT: Extend chimney in length or have the chimney realigned to the proper size flue. Oversized chimneys normally have poor drafts. Remember, the fireplace inserts’ draft depend solely on the natural draft of the chimney (See Draft Requirements on Page 4). If your fireplace insert is not drafting properly, your chimney is the problem. All stoves and inserts are thoroughly tested to ensure proper draft with the correct size chimney flue.
Do’s and Don’t DO NOT: Install or operate this fireplace insert before reading this manual. DO NOT: Close the draft beyond the point at which the flames are completely extinguished. DO NOT: Open the fireplace insert door without fully opening the draft first. DO NOT: Burn driftwood or wood that has been in salt water. This includes some mill ends and scrap lumber that has been floated in salt water on the way to the mill. (This will void your warranty).
