  • Page 1: Operation Instructions

    RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WARNINGS • Hot! Do not touch! The glass and surfaces of this appliance will be hot during operation and will retain heat for a while after shutting off the appli- ance. Severe burns may result. •...
  • Page 2: Safety Rules

    IMPORTANT! GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE SAFETY RULES BEFORE YOUR FIRST FIRE. WARNING Never leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace. IMPORTANT When burning wood, use SOLID NATURAL DRY WELL-SEASONED WOOD ONLY. Hardwoods are recommended (soft woods tend to burn very quickly).
  • Page 3: Table Of Contents

    CONGRATULATIONS! In selecting this LENNOX wood-burning appliance you have chosen one of the finest fireplaces available. The Montecito Estate™ is a clean burning EPA certified fireplace that is designed to provide you dependable service as well as warmth and enjoyment for many years to come.
  • Page 4: Combustion Control

    COMBUSTION CONTROLS Primary Air & Air Boost Controls There is no flue damper in the Montecito Es- tate™. As is common with air tight appliance, the combustion air control sets the flow of air entering the firebox. This allows for a more precise control of the fire.
  • Page 5: Refueling For Best Performance

    Slow Combustion When the air combustion control is completely closed, the fireplace is in a slow combustion phase. If the hearth is hot enough, slow com- bustion will not extinguish the fire, but there will be a noticeable change in the flame pattern. The flames will be slow and may appear dirty if the wood is too wet (moisture content of 20% and more).
  • Page 6: Important Cautions

    IMPORTANT CAUTIONS A. Do not block the hot air vents to the fire- place as this will cause the fireplace to overheat. B. Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or rekindle a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the fireplace at all times.
  • Page 7: Door Installation

    DOOR INSTALLATION The doors must be put in place only when the installation of the Montecito Estate™ is completed. All you have to do is fit the male part of the hinge, already on the door, to the female part, which is on the fireplace. To remove the doors, simply pull them up from the hinges.
  • Page 8: Fireplace Installation

    FIREPLACE INSTALLATION Locating The Montecito Estate™ The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the fireplace is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth extension and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and chimney.

  • Page 10: Hot Air Ducting Installation

    FACING IMPORTANT The facade must be removable once installed. The facade is designed to overlap any facing material installed on the front of the fireplace. If thicker material is installed, use the facade as a template and make sure it can be easily removed for servicing.
  • Page 11 Frame Grill Figure 16 When installing the double outlet system, the hot air outlets can be installed in the same room as the fireplace, or one or both of the outlets can be installed in adjacent or upper rooms. Installing the ducts at dif- ferent elevations will tend to exhaust more heat out of the higher outlet (Figure 17).
  • Page 12: Outside Air Kit

    OUTSIDE AIR KIT It is mandatory to install an outside air connection to the Montecito Estate™. The following components are required and are included with the fireplace: - Outside air kit (includes 40 inch flex that goes up to ten (10) feet long) - 4”...
  • Page 13: Chimney System

    THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM Chimney Installation Notes 1. If possible, install an interior chimney as it will provide better per- formance. In areas with continuous temperatures below 18°C (0°F), the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up characteristics.
  • Page 14: Chimney Installation Instructions

    CHIMNEY INSTALLATION INSTRUC- TIONS 1. Cut and frame the holes in the ceiling, floor and roof where the chimney will pass (see Figure 22). Use a plumb bob to line up the center of the holes. The sizes are indicated in Table 2 for the floor and ceiling holes and Table 3 (Page 15) for the roof holes.
