Always turn off gas to the pilot 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.
Inspect Venting System
The appliance and venting system should
be thoroughly inspected before initial
use and at least annually by a qualifi ed
service technician (inspection should
include ensuring that exhaust or intake
passages are unobstructed and vent
components are properly assembled
and not damaged). Homeowner must
contact a qualifi ed service technician
at once if any abnormal condition is
observed.
If the venting system is disassembled
for any reason, a qualifi ed 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.
Glass Cleaning
(See Front Glass Enclosure Panel,
Removal and Installation on Page 10).
Note: Clean glass after fi rst two weeks of
operation (after Burn-In period is over)
and then only when necessary and when
the fi replace 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
cleaners on glass. Never clean the
glass when it is hot.
The viewing glass should be cleaned
® DLX DIRECT VENT GAS FIREPLACES (MDLX40/45) • CARE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
periodically to remove any build-up
caused from the following:
• During start-up, it is normal for
condensation 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 fi lm 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
heating season, 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 & water
• Gas fi replace/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 fi rmly.
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 handling the fi ber 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.
Replacing Logs
If the logs become damaged by
accident or improper handling and
need replacement, use only the proper
replacement logs from manufacturer
(see Pages 25 and 26 for ordering
information).
Reinstall Embers, Volcanic Stone

stoppers. This will ensure a proper fl ame
and safe combustion.
NOTE: If installing the Contemporary
Burner/Floor Kit, skip this step and
instead refer to the instructions provided
with the kit.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagram on Page 15.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to
disconnection 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 fi ls avant de les
débrancher. des erreurs de cáblage
peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement
inadéquat et dangereux.
Inspect and clean all wire connections.
Ensure that there is no melting or
damage. Inspection should include:
• Terminals at the Valve
• Wall OFF/ON Switch
Low Battery Power Detection
The life span of the remote control
system batteries depends on many
factors:
• the quality of the batteries used
• the number of appliance ignitions
• the number of changes to the room
thermostat set point
• etc.
When the batteries are low, the receiver
will emit two (2) "beeps" (low battery
alert) every time it receives a command
from the transmitter.
After the batteries are replaced it will
emit one (1) "beep" when a command
is sent by pressing any key on the
transmitter. See "Initialization of The
System" located in the Installation
Instructions (P/N 506023-15).
Inspect Burner Flame Appearance
Ensure that the burner fl ame appearance
resembles the fl ame shown in Figure 13
and Figure 14 on Page 14, and as
described in "Flame Appearance and
Sooting" on Page 13. The Homeowner
must contact a qualifi ed 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 fi replace.
If the surface later becomes stained
or marred, it can be lightly sanded
and touched up with spray paint
(see Page 16).
