enclosure panel during the first few  
fires as part of the burn-in process.  
Gas Pressure Requirements  
(All Models)  
The first few times you use the  
fireplace, clean the glass after  
each use (AFTER THE GLASS HAS  
COMPLETELY COOLED); otherwise,  
the white film will bake onto the  
glass and become difficult to  
remove.  
Gas pressure requirements are listed in Tables  
2 and 3.  
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED  
DURING THE BURN-IN PROCESS. THE ODOR  
AND HAZE EMITTED DURING THE BURN-IN  
PROCESS CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND  
MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.  
Test gauge connections are provided on the  
front of the gas control valve, identified IN for  
the inlet and OUT for the manifold side (see  
Figures 3 and 4).  
Propane tanks are at pressures that will cause  
damage to valve components. Verify that the  
tanks have step-down regulators to reduce the  
pressure to safe levels.

place has a complete supplemental com-  
bustion air system, and do NOT operate  
the Outside Air Control Lever unless you  
have verified with your dealer or distribu-  
tor that a complete system is in place.  
Available ON/OFF control options for both  
MILLIVOLT and ELECTRONIC models include a  
unit-mounted ON/OFF switch (shown in Figure  
1), a wall switch, or a remote control system.  
See the “Accessory Components” section in  
this manual for details.  
Operation of millivolt and electronic gas  
control systems differs. Before lighting and  
operating your appliance, determine whether  
you have a millivolt or electronic appliance,  
and then familiarize yourself with the location of  
the Gas Control Valve and Gas Shut-Off Valve  
on your specific appliance.  
The hand-operated outside air control lever is  
located on the lower LEFT side of the fireplace  
opening. See Figure 5.  
Note: To prevent excessive resistance in  
burner circuit (which can cause burner op-  
eration problems), wire only one burner  
control switch to the valve.  
• For general control location, see Figure 1.  
• For MILLIVOLT appliances, see Figure 3  
for a detailed illustration of the SIT Millivolt  
Gas Control Valve.  
• For ELECTRONIC appliances, see Figure 4  
for a detailed illustration of the Dexen  
Electronic Gas Control Valve.  
To open the outside air shutter, open the bot-  
tom control access panel, reach into the control  
compartment, and pull the outside air control  
lever all the way out. The outside air shutter  
should be fully open when the fireplace is in use  
and completely closed when the fireplace is not  
being used. Closing itwhen notinuse will greatly  
reduce the amount of outside cold air entering  
the dwelling through the fireplace.  
Adjusting Flame Height  
After lighting the appliance, rotate the Flame  
Height Adjustment Knob to adjust the flame in  
a variable range from “LOW” to “HI” (manual  
adjustment only; no remote options).  
• For MILLIVOLT appliances, see Figure 3.  
• For ELECTRONIC appliances, see Figure 4.  
Lighting the Appliance  
• Detailed MILLIVOLT appliance lighting  
instructions are on Pages 22 and 23 and  
also on the label attached to the gas  
control valve.  
• Detailed ELECTRONIC appliance lighting  
instructions are on Pages 24 and 25  
and also on the label attached to the  
gas control valve. Also see “Lighting  
an Electronic Appliance During a Power  
Outage,” below.  
CONTROLS FOR OPTIONAL  
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR KIT  
Securing  
Screw  
Installed  
An optional outside combustion air system  
may be used with these appliances to provide  
supplemental combustion air from outside the  
home during appliance operation. If used, the  
outside combustion air kit must be installed  
before the fireplace is framed and enclosed in  
the finished wall.  
LIGHTING AN ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE  
DURING A POWER OUTAGE  
1. Install (2) “D” batteries in battery holder.  
2. Light the appliance according to the  
instructions on Page 24.  
3. Operate the appliance normally.  
4. After power is restored, remove the  
batteries.  
Note: To prevent batteries from draining  
prematurely, do NOT install batteries until  
needed (e.g., during a power outage or  
if operating the appliance solely with  
batteries).  
Outside Air Control  
Lever pushed UP  
The Outside Air Control Lever for this type of  
system is standard on all models (see Figure  
5); however, do NOT operate the Outside Air  
Control Lever if the complete system is NOT  
installed.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT move Air Control  
Lever if securing screw is installed  
(or if not sure it was removed).  
When a complete outside supplemental com-  
bustion air system is installed, the installer will  
remove the securing screw from the control  
lever on the LEFT side of the fireplace opening  
(see Figure 5).  
Securing

SUPERIOR® B-VENT GAS FIREPLACES • MODELS SLBV-35, SLBV-40 • CARE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Clean Glass Enclosure Panel  
(Refer to “Removing and Installaing the Glass  
Enclosure Panel” on Page 11).  
Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of  
operation (after burn-in period is over) and  
then only when necessary and ONLY WHEN  
THE APPLIANCE IS COOL. Wipe surface with  
clean, dampened, soft cloth. Follow with dry,  
soft towel as desired. Take care not to scratch  
the glass surface.  
Order Replacement Logs  
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
If the logs become damaged and need to be  
replaced, use only the proper replacement logs  
from the manufacturer (see Pages 13 and 14  
for ordering information).  
(See Maintenance Schedule, Page 26)  
Refertothemaintenancescheduleformaintenance  
tasks, procedures, frequency, and by whom they  
shouldbeperformed. Alwaysverifyproperopera-  
tion of the appliance after servicing.  
Reinstall Embers and Logs  
Carefully follow placement instructions on  
Pages 12–14. All logs should fit onto corre-  
sponding pins and/or log stoppers. This will  
ensure a proper flame and safe combustion.  
WARNING  
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive clean-  
ers on glass. Never clean the glass when  
it is hot.  
Clean the glass periodically, to remove any  
buildup caused by the following:  
• Filmy coating (during initial use after instal-  
lation). Initial curing of the high temperature  
paint and burning off of lubricants used in  
the manufacturing process may result in a  
filmy coating on the glass.  
• Dusty or dirty buildup. It is normal for con-  
densation and fog to form on the inside of  
the glass when first starting the appliance.  
This condensation and fog will usually  
disappear within a few minutes; however,  
over time the moisture can cause lint, dust,  
and other airborne particles to cling to the  
glass surface.  
• White coating. A white coating may form on  
the glass as a result of impurities and miner-  
als in the fuel.  
It is recommended that the glass be cleaned  
two or three times during each heating season,  
depending on the circumstances. The follow-  
ing cleaning solutions are approved for use to  
clean the glass:  
Turnoffgasandelectricalpower

Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt  
appliances) before cleaning.  
Inspect and clean all wire connections. Ensure  
that there is no melting or damage. Inspection  
should include:  
Before relighting the fireplace, refer to  
the lighting instructions in this manual.  
Instructions are also found on pull-out  
panelslocatedbelowtheglassenclosure  
panel, in the appliance control compart-  
ment.  
• Terminals at the Valve  
• Optional Control Switch (Wall ON/OFF  
Switch, Unit-Mounted ON/OFF Switch, or  
Remote ON/OFF Control System)  
• Non-ammonia based household cleaner  
• 50% white vinegar and 50% water  
• Gas fireplace/stove glass cleaner  
Inspect Venting System  
Inspect Burner Flame Appearance  
The appliance and venting system should be  
thoroughly inspected before initial use and  
at least annually by a qualified service techni-  
cian (inspection should include ensuring that  
exhaust or intake passages are unobstructed  
and vent components are properly assembled  
and not damaged). Homeowner must contact  
a qualified service technician at once if any  
abnormal condition is observed.  
Ensure that the burner flame appearance  
resembles the flame shown in Figures 11 and  
12 andasdescribedin“FlameAppearanceand  
Sooting” on Page q5. The Homeowner must  
contact a qualified service technician at once  
if any abnormal condition is observed.  
Clean Control Compartment  
Keep control compartment clean by vacuuming  
or brushing at least twice a year. More frequent  
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint  
from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is  
important that control compartments, burners  
and circulating air passageways of the appli-  
ance be kept clean.  
Small Area Paint Touch-up  
If the venting system is disassembled for any  
reason, a qualified service technician should  
follow vent installation instructions for proper  
reassembly and proper sealing of the venting  
system components. However, more frequent  
periodic inspections and cleanings should be  
performed by the homeowner.  
If the surface becomes stained or marred, it  
may be lightly sanded and touched-up with  
spraypaintavailablefromyourlocalauthorized  
Lennox Hearth Products dealer.  
Clean Logs and Burner  
Carefully remove the logs.  
NOTE:  
Note: Use care when handling the 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).  
• Only use factory-supplied paint for  
touch-ups.  
• Never attempt to paint a hot fireplace.  
Inspect Glass Gasket  
Visually inspect the gasket on the backside  
of the glass enclosure panels. The gasket  
surface must be clean, free of irregularities  
and seated firmly.  
Note: Improper positioning of logs can  
create carbon buildup and will alter the  
performance of the appliance.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in  
the flames and lack of combustion air entering  
the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm  
yellowish-orange flame with an orange body  
that does not soot, the shutter opening must be  
adjusted between these two extremes.  
Air Shutter Adjustment Guidelines  
• If there is smoke or soot present, first check  
the log set positioning to ensure that the  
flames are not impinging on any of the logs.  
If the log set is properly positioned and a
