PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
QUESTIONS TO ASK THE LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL
5. In some states or municipalities, a licensed gas fitter or
plumber may be required to install this appliance. Check
with your local building official for requirements in your
area (i.e. Is a license required for installation of gas supply
line)?
Correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire
hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when gas appli-
ances function improperly. The appliance must be installed per
manufacturers’ instructions.
6. Maximum amount of gas pipe without a pressure test -
type of test required?
Gas appliance equipment and installations must conform to
appropriate local codes and applicable state and federal re-
quirements. Familiarity with these requirements before instal-
lation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with
local building officials include:
7. Are below grade penetrations of the gas line allowed?
8. Is concealed gas piping allowed?
1. Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or
Regional Gas Codes, National Fuel Gas Code)?
9. Specific requirements of concealed fittings?
10. Is rigid pipe to appliance required?
2. Local amendments?
11. Allowed piping materials?
3. Recognized testing lab: CSA / AGA.
4. Is a permit required - cost?
12. Shut-off valve required within 4 feet of the firebox?
13. May the shut-off valve be concealed?
14. Rooms where the installation is not allowed?
In the absence of local codes, installation should conform to
the National Fuel Gas Code, also known at ANSI Z223.1-
NFPA 54.

INSTALLATION
•
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure test-
ing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less
than *1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
GAS SUPPLY HOOKUP (ALL MODELS)
If using pipe other than black iron pipe see NFPA 54-National Fire Pro-
tection Association / ANSI Z223.1-American National Standards Institute;
and local code for specific requirements for the type of pipe used. Alter-
native gas piping systems such as CSST may be used subject to local
code and proper sizing.
Make the connection to the gas supply line using the correct
fitting required to the shut-off valve.
Install a drip leg where condensates might accumulate. Sedi-
ment traps, like drips and collection tees, are required to be
installed. Traps collect moisture and intercept and hold foreign
objects which might block orifices and valves. A drip leg should
be installed in vertical pipe runs to the appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a flexible gas line and fitting for
a gas supply line connection. Connection can be made using
either the 3/8” NPT male fitting or, by removing the fitting, to
the flex line 3/8” female flare. The flex line can be routed to the
gas supply through either the pedestal bottom or through the
rear pedestal cover depending upon the orientation of the sup-
ply line. Some areas may have certain restrictions against the
use of flexible gas lines. Check local codes. The gas appliance
control valve has a 3/8” NPT female type inlet for the gas supply
line, if hard plumbing is required.
Supply Line Size Requirements
The proper gas line diameter must be used to run from the sup-
ply regulator (at the gas company meter) to the appliance.
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to the table below
for suggested sizing of the gas supply line.
Suggested Sizing of
Schedule 40 Pipe Supply Line

A gas supply line must be run to the appliance by a qualified
professional. The plumbing of the gas line must comply with
National Standards; NFPA 54-National Fire Protection Associa-
tion / ANSI Z223.1-American National Standards Institute; and
local code.
Use an approved pipe sealant compound for NPT fittings. After
all pipe connections are made, apply normal gas line pressure:
7.0” W.C. for natural gas; 11.0” W.C. for LP gas (propane) and
use an approved leak detection solution to test for the tightness
of each pipe connection joint.
Gas piping must not run in or through air ducts, clothes chutes,
chimneys or gas vents, dumb waiters or elevator shafts.
Piping should be sloped 1/4” per 15 feet (6mm per 4.6m) up-
ward toward the meter from the appliance. The piping must be
supported at proper intervals every 8 to 10 ft. (2.4m to 3.1m)
using suitable hangers or straps.
The gas supply line must be purged of air before it is connected
to the appliance.
IMPORTANT: All connections must be checked for leaks with a leak detec-
tor or soapy water solution. Never check for gas leakage with an open
flame!
An accessible, approved shut-off valve must be installed up-
stream of any connector so that the appliance may be isolated
to allow service, removal, and replacement (within six feet of the
appliance per NFPA 54, or twelve inches in some codes). A
shut-off valve is provided with this appliance.
IMPORTANT: In case emergency shut-off is required, shut off
main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to appliance.
These devices should be properly labeled by the installer.
PRESSURE TESTING:
* Note: ½ psi = 14” WC (inches water column).

CARE AND OPERATION
ALL MODELS
CIRCULATION BLOWER OPERATION
The speed of the circulation blower is controlled using the
speed control rheostat (see following illustration) on the left
hand side of the control panel. The blower system is designed
with a variable speed control allowing an infinite range of
blower settings to meet the customer’s needs. With the rotary
switch turned fully CCW 4, the blower is off. Turning the
switch CW 3 will activate the blower at its maximum speed.
Further rotation of the switch in the CW direction will reduce
the speed of the blower. At approximately 270° of CW 3 rota-
tion, the switch provides a minimum setting for blower speed.
“BREAK-IN” PERIOD
The finish on this appliance is a high temperature paint that
requires time and temperature to completely cure. The curing
process will take 2 or 3 burns (heat up and cool down peri-
ods). We recommend that you ventilate the house during the
initial burns. The paint emits non-toxic odors during this proc-
ess.
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING THE CURING
PROCESS TO PREVENT ACTIVATION OF YOUR HOME SMOKE
DETECTOR.
Thermostatic feature: With the control switch in any “ON” po-
sition, the circulation blower is designed to automatically begin
operation approximately 12 minutes after lighting the main
burner. The blower will turn off approximately 15 minutes
after the main burner is shut-off.
Do not turn on a blower during the break-in process. Do not
place anything on the stove surface until the paint is com-
pletely cured. Do not attempt to repaint the stove until the
paint is completely cured. If the surface later becomes stained
or marred, it may be lightly sanded and touched up with spray

Qualified Service Technician:
(ALL MODELS)
(Model L20 DVF-2) If the vent-air intake system is disassembled
for any reason, the service technician should follow vent manu-
factures instructions for proper reassembly and sealing of the
vent-air intake system.
LOG SET
Removing & Cleaning Logs - Carefully remove the logs (remov-
ing top logs, then lifting front log out, then rear log). Use care
when handling the fiber logs, as they become quite fragile after
curing. Use a small soft-bristled brush (e.g., a nylon paint
brush) to remove soot, dust or debris that may have accumu-
lated on the burner or log set. Remove the logs and burner, and
clean them outside the home in a location with plenty of fresh
air ventilation. Avoid breathing fine particulates of dust that
may be generated. See page 14, Installing Log Set for instruc-
tions on reinstalling logs.
IMPORTANT – APPLIANCES INSTALLED USING SIMPSON DURA-VENT
BRAND PIPE MUST SEAL ALL JOINTS WITH MILL-PAC BLACK, HIGH
TEMPERATURE SEALANT.
CLEAN EXTERNAL SURFACES
External surfaces should be kept clean and dust removed form
air inlets to the appliance. The flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air must not be obstructed. The appliance must be kept
clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Replacing Logs - If logs become damaged by accident or im-
proper handling and need replacement, use only the proper re-
placement logs from manufacturer, which can be purchased
from your local dealer. See Page 25.
SMALL AREA PAINT TOUCH-UP
The stove body is painted with a quality high-temperature stove
paint. Use only model TSPK-C Stove Paint, Catalog # 19L92. Do
not touch-up this appliance with any other paint.
CLEANING BURNER
With the logs removed, vacuum out any foreign matter (lint,
carbon etc.) on the burner. Be sure the burner ports are “open.”
Using one small piece of 320 grit sand paper and lightly sand
the blemish so that the edges are “feathered” or smooth to the
touch between the painted and bare surfaces. Do not let the
sand paper gum up with paint, as this will cause scratches on
the metal surface. If there are any scratches, use 600 grit sand-
paper instead. Mask off surfaces you do not want painted. Paint
lightly over the bare surface first as this will act as an undercoat.
Then paint over a larger area in smooth even strokes to blend.
CLEANING VALVE / AIR VENTURI
Clean all lint and dust build-up around the control valve and air
shutter on the venturi. Inspect and clean with a brush or wire
the inlet of the venturi for any spider webs or lint accumulation.

webs, debris, etc.
CLEANING GLASS
The window on the gas appliance is made from a clear ceramic
material and may be cleaned when cool with any non-abrasive
product designed for use on glass windows. Do not use abra-
sive cleaners on glass. The viewing glass should be cleaned
periodically. Exterior glass may be cleaned with a glass cleaner
as desired. Interior glass - use soap and water, or commercial
glass cleaner recommended for stove glass.
INSPECT WIRING / CAUTIONS:
1) Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous op-
eration.
2) Verify proper operation after servicing.
3) Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure that there is
no melting or damage from rodents. Inspection should in-
clude:
Note: Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation
and fog on the glass. This condensation and fog will disappear
in a few minutes.
• Terminals at the valve
• On / Off switch
• Wall Thermostat / Remote Control (optional kits)
CLEANING BLOWER INTAKE
The blower air intake requires cleaning at least once a year to
remove lint, dust, etc. If there are pets in the dwelling, the intake
should be cleaned at least twice a year.
VENTING SYSTEM
A periodic examination of the venting system must be per-
formed to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air
is not obstructed (outlet and inlet is open and free from block-
age). We recommend that you have your gas appliance checked
yearly by your independent Lennox dealer.

Excessive impingement (contact of flame with logs)
should not occur.
Rear burner flames should have yellowish tips; no soot
should form at burner flame tips.
Flames should not raise off of burner (no “lifting” of
flame).
Air Shutter Adjustment
The flame can be adjusted to give the proper flame appearance
and to prevent sooting on the window or logs by adjusting the
position of the primary air shutter (located at the rear center
inlet to the burner). The air shutter should be positioned ap-
proximately 1/4 open for Natural Gas and approximately 1/2
open for LP Gas. . See page 15, Burner Air Shutter.
NOTE: During periods of high natural gas demand, the gas
supplier may add “make-up gases” to the pipeline. This addi-
tion will change the composition of the supply gas, and may
cause a change in burner flame appearance. You may also
notice soot formation on the logs and viewing windows.
Check with your gas supplier if you suspect a change in the
composition of your gas supply.

SPILL SWITCH
Draft Hood
This appliance is equipped with a “Spill Switch” which is a
safety device that will shut off gas to the burner in case of sus-
tained back draft or flue gas spillage from the draft hood. The
purpose of this safety device is to prevent potentially harmful
gases from entering your home in the event of a blockage in the
vent system. Once the switch has been activated, the burner
cannot be relit until the switch is reset manually (see Accessing
and Resetting Spill Switch on this page). Repeated tripping of
the switch may indicate there is an obstruction in the venting
system. Other possible causes for the spill switch tripping are
listed below (ordered from most likely to least likely). Note: En-
sure that appliance is cold before performing any checks.

Troubleshooting Check List (Qualified Technicians Only)
ꢂ Flue Blockage - Check venting system for blockage (e.g. bird
nest, damage, etc.).
ꢂ Down draft (Is a high wind termination cap installed?).
ꢂ Examine entire venting system for faults such as discon-
nected joints or damaged vent sections.
Spill Switch
Press In This
Red Reset Button
ꢂ Check the vent sizing according to specifications, and vent
configurations (correct venting system, if necessary).
ꢂ Inadequate make-up air supply in the dwelling, resulting in
negative pressure, inhibiting exhaust flow of the appliance.
(evaluate and determine ways to increase make-up air, if nec-
essary, within the area of the installation).
ꢂ Defective spill switch (very rare) - Disconnect wires from Spill
Switch. Set Multimeter on ohms and do an ohm check between
terminals on switch. A “O” ohms reading indicates a good switch.
An infinite ohms of “1” reading indicates a defective (or open)
switch.
Fig. 3
SPILLAGE TEST PROCEDURE
A flue spillage test is recommended as part of the installation
and periodically afterwards.
1. Remove Rear Access Panel, if necessary (Fig. 1).
2. Close all the doors and windows in the room. Turn ON all
exhaust fans in the home.
3. Light the appliance. Adjust burner flame to highest setting
and operate for approximately 10 minutes before checking
for spillage.
4. Use an open flame (preferably a wooden match) or smoke
(cigarette, burning rope) to determine if spillage is present.
To test for spillage, move the flame or smoke device across
the opening at the bottom of the draft hood as shown be-
low. If the flame or smoke is drawn into the opening, there
is no spillage. If the flame or smoke is blown out or away
from the opening, spillage is present and corrective action
should be taken before operating the appliance (see bullets
under Spill Switch on this page).
If spillage is suspected, a simple spillage test can be conducted
to confirm or out rule a spillage condition (see Spillage Test on
this page).
ACCESSING AND RESETTING SPILL SWITCH
1. UNPLUG BLOWER POWER CORD.
2. Using a ¼” nut driver, remove Rear Access Panel (see Fig. 1).
