Cleaning: When cooled, the glass may be cleaned with a
clean, soft cloth and Windex. For cleaning white condensa-
tion from the interior glass use KEL KEM 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 Windex 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: Should the glass be damaged, both the
glass 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 gas-
ket: 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.

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 elements 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 fittings. 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 supports such as wall straps or
plumbers’ tape for rigidity.

The doors on the stove may be opened to provide an unob-
structed 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 and up, 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.
