THE FIREPLACE
INTRODUCTION
The Montecito wood-burning fireplace is an
energy efficient, heat circulating, closed com-
bustion fireplace. You will receive a lifetime
of comfort and enjoyment from your fireplace
provided it is installed, maintained and oper-
ated properly.
•
Please read these instructions and retain
this manual for future reference.
•
Before beginning the fireplace installation,
consult the local authorities to obtain your
building permit and check your local building
codes. Install the fireplace only as described
in these instructions and using only Lennox
Hearth Products components.
• This fireplace has been tested for CAN/ULC
S610-M87 and ANSI/UL 127 under report
number 307-4084. It has also been tested
for EPA 40 C.F.R Part 60, section 60.532(b).
Certificate number 537.
•
The Montecito fireplace is NOT intended
for use with a gas log set. Do not use a
fireplace insert or any other product with
this fireplace unless it is specified by Lennox
for use with this appliance. Failure to follow
these instructions will void the certification

OPERATING THE FIREPLACE
Fuel
USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY. The
Montecito fireplace is designed to work best
when fueled with dry seasoned natural wood
only. Hardwoods are preferred to softwoods
since the energy content of wood is relative to
its density. Hardwoods will result in a longer
burning fire and less frequent refueling. A
moisture content of 15% to 20% (seasoned)
is recommended. Wood that has been cut and
split and let to dry under a cover for a period
of one year will usually meet that criteria. The
required drying time will vary depending on the
climate. Wood that is packed tight together will
take longer to dry. Seasoned wood is darker in
color than wet wood and will have visible cracks
in the grain on the ends. Excessively wet wood
will be difficult to burn and will result in lower
efficiency, increased creosoting and deposits on
the glass and in the chimney. Excessively dry
wood will burn well but will also have higher
emissions and shorter burning time.
Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or
wood such as driftwood from the ocean which
has been exposed to salt or other chemicals.
Salt or chemicals can corrode the firebox and
chimney. Do not burn large amounts of paper,
cardboard, Christmas tree branches or building
construction materials. Intense firing with these
materials may overheat the fireplace, causing
damage to the unit, a fire or even possibly ignit-
ing a chimney fire if the chimney is creosoted.
Burning unapproved fuel, resulting in excessive
pollutants being emitted, may be prohibited and
subject to a fine or other penalty by the authority
having jurisdiction in your area.
Processed firelogs can be used. Use only fire-
logs that have been evaluated for the application
of fireplace and refer to firelog warnings and
caution markings on packaging prior to use.
First Fires
Before using the fireplace make sure to remove
the plastic wrapping and EPA label on plated
door. Remove any glue residue left by the
label using mild soap.
The first five or six fires should be small fires of
short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes). This
will help cure the refractory bricks. During the
first few fires of this appliance there may be
some odor and smoke due to the curing of the
paint, dust accumulation and burning off of
lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
It may set off a smoke alarm located in the same
room. For this reason the room should be well
ventilated for the first few fires.
