Lighting Millivolt Appliances

To light millivolt appliances refer to the detailed lighting instructions found on page 13 (English) and page 14 (French). Millivolt appliance lighting instructions may also be found on the pull-out lighting instruction labels attached to the rear stove shield. Refer to Figure 3 on page 3 for the location of the piezo igniter.

Variable Flame Height Adjustment

All Millivolt appliances are equipped with a variable gas control valve. Flame height for these models may be adjusted through a range between fixed low and high settings by rotating the HI/LO knob on the valve (see Figure 3), alternately, while the appliance is in opera- tion. Adjust the flame height as desired after lighting the appliance by rotating the variable adjustment control (HI/LO) knob located on the front of the valve.

Burn-In Period:

During the first few burns of this appliance there will be some odor due to the “burn-in” of paints and lubricants (curing of the high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process).

Depending on your use, the burn-in period may take a few hours or a few days. The dwelling should be well ventilated during these initial burns.

KEEP YOUR HOUSE WELL VENTILATED DURING THE CURING PROCESS. THE ODOR AND HAZE EMITTED BY THE CURING PROCESS CAN BE QUITE NOTICEABLE AND MAY SET OFF A SMOKE DETECTOR.

If the optional Blower Kit (see page 11 for ordering information) is installed, do not turn on a blower during the Burn-In period. Do not place anything on the stove surface until the paint is completely cured.

(Model Serefina, Black Paint) 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 paint (See Small Area Paint Touch-Up, page 9). Paint is available at your local authorized Lennox Hearth Products dealer. Never attempt to paint a hot stove.

Maintenance

The appliance and venting system should be thoroughly inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualified service technician. However, more frequent periodic inspections and cleanings should be performed by the homeowner. Homeowner must contact a quali- fied service technician at once if any abnormal condition is observed.

Refer to the maintenance schedule on page 5 for maintenance tasks, procedures, periodic- ity and by whom they should be performed. Always verify proper operation of the appliance after servicing.

Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt appli- ances) before cleaning. Before re-lighting, refer to the lighting instructions in this manual. Instructions are also found on a pull-out panel located on the rear stove shield.

Keep lower 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 appliance be kept clean.

IMPORTANT: TURN OFF GAS AND ANY ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVIC- ING THE APPLIANCE.

VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.

Glass Cleaning

Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of opera- tion (after Burn-In period is over).

The viewing glass should be cleaned periodi- cally to remove any build-up caused from the following:

•During start-up, it is normal for condensa- tion to form on the inside of the glass (this condensation and fog will usually disappear in a few minutes). This can cause lint, dust and other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

•Initial curing of the high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants used in the manufacturing process may result in a film on the glass.

•A white coating may form on the glass as a result of impurities and minerals in the fuel.

It is recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times during each heating season, depending on the circumstances present.

Exterior glass may be cleaned with an non- ammonia based household cleaner and warm water as desired (a gas stove glass cleaner is recommended).

WARNING:DONOTUSEABRASIVECLEAN- ERS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS WHEN IT IS HOT.

CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOUCH THE FRONT ENCLOSURE GLASS WITH YOUR HANDS WHILE THE STOVE IS IN USE.

Models with Porcelain Enamel Finish

Crazing of Porcelain Enamel: Porcelain enamel, when heated to high temperatures, is subject to crazing (a very fine and random network of hairline cracks on the surface of the porcelain). Crazing is a normal occurrence when enamel is exposed to high temperatures. Your enamel finish will not be harmed nor will the function of the stove be impaired.

Repairing Chips: If the enamel finish on your stove becomes chipped, it can be touched up using enamel touch-up paint. For ordering information, see pages 16.

Cleaning Enamel Surfaces: To remove build-up of dust, dirt or crud from the enamel surfaces, combine baking soda and a little water to make a cleaning paste. Use a soft rag to rub the surface with the mix until the stains are removed.

IMPORTANT: ENSURE STOVE IS COM- PLETELY COLD PRIOR TO CLEANING OR USING ENAMEL TOUCH UP PAINT.
