General Vent Pipe Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually. Recommended
areas to inspect are as follows:
1. Check areas of the venting system which are exposed to the ele-
ments for corrosion. These will appear as rust spots or streaks and
in extreme cases, holes. These component should immediately be
replaced.
2. Remove the cap and shine a flashlight down the vent. Remove any
bird nests or other foreign material.
3. Check for evidence of excessive condensate, such as water droplets
forming in the inner liner and subsequently dripping out at joints.
Continuous condensate can cause corrosion of caps, pipe and fit-
tings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold
weather.
4. Inspect joints to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been
disturbed and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical sup-
ports such as wall straps or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
Opening and Removing Glass Door
The doors on the stove may be opened to provide an unobstructed view
of the fire or to provide greater access to the firebox. To open the doors,
when the stove is cool, simply pull on the right door and it will swing
open. The left door can then also be swung open.
CAUTION: Do not open the glass door when the stove is burning.
Let the unit cool before opening the door.
Lift off the stove top to access the glass door. At the top of the glass door
are two spring-loaded "I" (looped) bolts. Pull each loop forward while
rotating at 90 degrees, releasing the top of the glass door. To remove
the door, grasp it firmly with both hands and lift it up. The glass door is
fragile so it is important to place it in a secure spot until reinstalled. To
reinstall the door, the bottom of the door must be inserted in the slot at
the bottom of the firebox. The loops on the spring loaded "I" bolts must
be pulled forward and down into the receiving bracket on the door to
apply pressure against the door. The latches need pulled forward and
rotated at 90 degrees. Once the loops are in the receiving bracket you
will then rotate them back 90 degrees so they are at the angle shown
in Figure 36.

Glass/Door Maintenance
Cleaning:
cloth and a household glass cleaner. For cleaning white condensation
from the interior glass use a gas stove glass cleaner available from your
stove dealer. Use of caustic or abrasive cleaners may damage glass. Gold
or nickel plated trim must be cleaned with a household glass cleaner or
denatured alcohol and a soft cloth before firing or fingerprints and stains
will remain permanently. Never use abrasive polish to clean the gold or
nickel as it will ruin the finish. DO NOT operate stove with broken glass.
DO NOT clean door or glass when hot. DO NOT abuse glass door by
striking or slamming shut. DO NOT use substitute materials if replacing
glass. DO NOT spray commercial glass cleaner with ammonia on the
door and glass gasket as it may dissolve the gasket glue.
WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass panel
removed, cracked, or broken. Do not remove glass door while
the stove is hot. Replacement of the glass door should be done
by a qualified service technician.
Glass Replacement:
and the gasket should be replaced. The replacement glass and gasket
are available from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer. The glass is
neo-ceramic and alternative types must not be used. To install the new
glass and gasket: Remove the old glass and gasket. The glass is held
in place by two metal tabs located on the sides of the glass door frame.
Using a flat-bladed screwdriver or pliers, bend the tabs up to release the
old glass from the frame. Should the old glass be broken, care should be
used in removing and discarding the glass so as not to injure yourself.
Install the new glass and gasket by positioning the frame with the bent
lips up and set the glass on the frame. (The glass is square so there is
no top or bottom). Slide the glass so the gasket is down against the 1/8"
lip. Using pliers, bend the metal tabs firmly down onto the gasket on the
glass. The tabs must be bent into the gasket to ensure a tight seal of the
glass to the stove. Install the glass frame on the stove. See instructions
on this page for removing and replacing the glass door.
