MAINTENANCE
(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 26)
Refer to the maintenance schedule for main-
tenance 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 adé-
quatement une fois l'entretien terminé.
Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt
appliances) before cleaning. Before re-
lighting, refer to the lighting instructions
in this manual. Instructions are also found
on a pull-out panel located in the control
compartment.
Always keep the appliance area clear
and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
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
passage is 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
(see Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal and
Installation on Page 10)
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 a dry, soft towel as desired.
Take care not to scratch the glass surface.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive clean-
ers on glass. Never clean the glass when
it is hot.
The viewing glass should be cleaned periodi-
cally to remove any build-up caused from the
following:
• During start-up, it is normal for condensa-
tion 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 year, 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 Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when han-
dling 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.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Replacing Logs
If the logs become damaged by accident or
improper handling and need replacement,
use only the proper replacement logs from
manufacturer (see Page 29 for ordering
information).
Re-Install Embers, Logs and Vermiculite
Carefully follow placement instructions on
Pages 12 to 15). 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 17.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to discon-
nection when servicing controls. 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 fonc-
tionnement 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) Remote Control
or Remote Wall Switch Kit
Inspect Burner Flame and Pilot Flame
Appearance
Periodically do a visual check of the burner
flame and the pilot flame. Ensure that the
burner flame appearance resembles the flame
shown in Figure 15 and as described in flame
Appearance and Sooting on Page 15. Refer
to Figures 17 and 18 on Page 16 for more
information about the pilot flame appearance.
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 touch-
ups. Paint is available at your local 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
spray paint.
