Check all local building and safety codes before installation. The installation
instructions and appropriate code requirements must be followed exactly
and without compromise. In the absence of local codes the following
standards and codes must be followed.
The Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest
edition (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA-B149.1 installation code).
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded and wired
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 - latest edition.
• Must conform with all local, state and national installation codes. In
the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition, also known as NFPA 54
(In Canada, the current CAN/CSA B149.1 installation code). Refer to
the National Fuel Gas Code and local zoning and code authorities for
details on installation requirements.
• Mobile home installations must conform with the Mobile Home Con-
struction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (in Canada
CAN/CSA Z240 MH), or, when such a standard is not applicable, the
Standard for Mobile Home Installations, ANSI A225.1 - latest edi-

• Is not for use with solid fuels.
• Is approved for sitting rooms and/or bedrooms.
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M),the orifice
should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper
ratio of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing may result in damage and
unsafe conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a quali-
fied service technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for
proper orifice sizes.
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If
your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.
