Install Contemporary Media - Lennox Merit Series Care And Operation Instructions Manual

LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS • MERIT
INSTALLING CONTEMPORARY MEDIA
NOTE: Turn off all electricity to the appliance
before you install contemporary floor media.
WARNING
• DO NOT attempt to install the
contemporary media until the
appliance installation has been
completed, the gas line con-
nected and tested for leaks and
the initial burner operation has
been checked out.
• The size and position of the
contemporary media was engi-
neered to give the appliance
a safe, reliable and attractive
flame pattern. Any attempt to
use a different media in the
fireplace will void the warranty
and will result in incomplete
combustion, sooting, and poor
flame quality.
• Contemporary media get very
hot and will remain hot up to
one hour after gas supply is
turned off. Handle only when
contemporary media are cool.
• This appliance is not designed
to burn wood. Any attempt to
do so could cause irreparable
damage to the appliance and
prove hazardous to your safety.
• If contemporary media are
not installed according to the
installation instructions, flame
impingement and improper
combustion could occur and
result in soot and/or excessive
production of carbon monoxide
(CO), a colorless, odorless,
toxic gas.
• Only use materials listed here.
Only contemporary media
authorized have been tested
for use within the firebox and
its environment. Do not attempt
to use any different materials
in the fireplace. Doing so may
be dangerous and will void
the warranty and will result in
incomplete combustion, soot-
ing, and poor flame quality.
