Removing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 6 )
1. Remove the top louver assembly or radiant 
panel by pulling it out and off.
2. Open the control compartment access panel
by actuating the spring-loaded magnetic 
catches securing the panel (gently depress the 
outer top corners of the louvered or radiant 
panel until the catches "pop" the door free, 
allowing it to swing out and down to the open 
position).
3. Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the
control compartment. To disengage the two 
latches from the bottom vee-fl ange of the 
glass enclosure panel, reach for the handles 
located towards the back of the latches and 
pull the handles down toward the front of 
the appliance.
4. Swing the bottom of the door out and raise
it slightly to lift the top fl ange of the door 
frame away from the appliance.
Installing Glass Enclosure Panels
(see Figure 6 )
1. Visually inspect the gasket on the backside of 
the panels. The gasket surface must be clean, 
free of irregularities and seated fi rmly.
2. Position the glass enclosure panel in front of
the fi rebox opening at a 45 degree angle and 
engage the top fl ange over the lip at the top 
of the fi rebox opening. See Figure 6.
3. Swing the glass enclosure panel down and
back. Ensure the gasket seats evenly as the 
panel draws shut. Engage the Vee-fl ange at 
the bottom of the panel with the latches and 
close the latches to secure the panel.
4. Close the bottom control compartment
access panel.
WARNING
Do not attempt to touch the front 
enclosure glass with your hands 
while the fi replace is in use.
WARNING
Do not operate appliance with the 
glass front removed, cracked or 
broken. Replacement of the glass 
should be done by a licensed or 
qualifi ed service technician.
WARNING
Handle this glass with extreme 
care! Tempered glass is suscep-
tible to damage – do not scratch 
or handle roughly while rein-
stalling the glass door frame.
WARNING
Do not attempt to substitute the 
materials used on this door, or 
replace cracked or broken glass 
with any materials other than 
those provided by the appliance 
manufacturer.
WARNING
The glass door of this appli-
ance must only be replaced as a 
complete unit as provided by the 
manufacturer. Do not attempt to 
replace broken, cracked or chipped 
glass separately.
These fi replaces are designed to operate only 
with the glass enclosure panels properly 
installed. Generally the glass enclosure panels 
should not be removed except to gain access 
to the components within the fi rebox, and the 
appliance may only be operated without the 
front glass enclosure panel in place for very 
brief periods of time during initial appliance 
checkout and adjustment. 
During this appliance checkout and adjust-
ment period, a potential safety hazard exists 
- EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION to prevent 
the occurrence of any burn injuries from the 
exposed fl ames or hot surfaces. Also note, that 
while the front glass enclosure panel (or any of 
the panels) is removed, the fl ame appearance 
will appear to be smaller than normal.
Cleaning Logs And Burner
Carefully remove the logs (use care when han-
dling 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 manufac-
turer (see Page 23 for ordering information).
Re-Install Embers, Logs and Vermiculite 
- Carefully follow placement instructions on 
Pages 9 to 12 ). All logs should fi t onto cor-
responding pins and/or log stoppers. This will 
ensure a proper fl ame and safe combustion.
Inspect Wiring
Refer to wiring diagrams on Page 14.
Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure 
that there is no melting or damage. Inspection 
should include:
• Terminals at the Valve
• OFF/ON 
Switch
• (Optional Control Switch) Remote Control
or Remote Wall Switch Kit
Inspect Burner Flame Appearance
Ensure that the burner flame appearance 
resembles the fl ame shown in Figure 15 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
The fi nish of the appliance is a high qual-
ity powdercoat. Only use factory supplied 
powdercoat paint kit for touch-ups. Paint is 
available at your local authorized Lennox Hearth 
Products dealer (cat. no. 90L74). Never attempt 
to paint a hot fi replace.
Do not attempt to repaint the appliance until the 
fi nish is completely cured (see Burn-In Period 
on Page 3 ). If the surface later becomes stained 
or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched 
up with spray paint.
WARNING
Label all wires prior to discon-
nection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause 
improper and dangerous opera-
tion. Verify proper operation 
after servicing.
