Door
Do not operate the appliance with the door open or ajar other
than possibly during start up to create a draft (Do not leave the
unit unattended while the front door is slightly open during start
up). Operating the appliance with the door open other then in
initial start up if needed will produce extreme temperatures
within the appliance. Damage caused from over-firing is not
covered under the manufacturers limited warranty.
DOOR OPERATION

Figure 22

1. Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood for maximum heat output. In some
states it is illegal to burn wet wood or anything other than clean, dry
wood products.
2. Your stove is designed to operate with the door closed! Operate only
with the door shut tightly at all times except when loading wood and
possibly on start up to establish a draft. Never leave the unit unat-
tended while the front door is slightly opened.
3. DO NOT contact or move the baffle boards while loading wood. Oc-
casionally check the baffle to assure that the boards are in there correct
location.
CAUTION

Be careful not to abuse door assembly by striking or

slamming it. If the door assembly or glass is broken or

damaged, they must be replaced with factory original

parts before heater can be safely operated. Use only

components provided by the manufacturer as replace-

ment parts.

OPERATING HINTS
If your stove has plated accessories, be sure to clean it with a household
type glass cleaner and a very soft cloth to remove any fingerprints and
residues prior to the first fire and before any fire if the plated surfaces
have been handled or soiled. Do not close the door tightly during the
“Burn-In Period.” Also, open the door frequently (every 5-10 minutes)
to keep the gasket from adhering to the curing paint. Ventilate the house
well during these first firings as the paint gives off carbon dioxide and
unpleasant odors. It is recommended that persons sensitive to an imbal-
ance in the indoor air quality avoid the stove during the curing process.
Your new Grandview™ 230 is painted with a high temperature paint that
cures during the first few firings. We recommend that you put your stove
through a regimen of three burns. The first two should last for 20 minutes
each at 250 degrees (the stove should be allowed to cool completely
between each burn). The third should be a burn of at least 450 degrees
F. for 45-60 minutes. The paint will become soft, gummy and emit non-
toxic smoke during these burns. After the stove cools down for the third
time, the paint will harden. DO NOT BUILD A LARGE ROARING FIRE
UNTIL THIS CURING EFFECT IS COMPLETE OR YOU MAY DAM-
AGE THE FINISH OF YOUR STOVE. Spray can touch-ups should be
done only with a high temperature stove paint (cat. no. H8159), available
from all Lennox Hearth Products dealers.
Please be patient with the heat output of your stove for the first few
weeks. The steel will go through a curing process that eliminates mois-
ture, which is deep in the steel and firebrick. This moisture will reduce
initial heat output of your stove and may make it difficult to start. After
you have broken in the paint on the stove it will be necessary to build
hot fires to thoroughly remove the moisture from the appliance. Running
the stove with the draft fully open for 1 to 1-1/2 hours after starting and
adding generous amounts of fuel during the first week or two should
complete the curing process. We recommend the use of a thermometer
attached to the stove top or chimney. Temperatures on the connector
pipe should run in the 250-600 degree range. (DO NOT OVERFIRE THE
STOVE DURING THIS PROCESS. IF THE STOVE OR CHIMNEY
BECOMES RED, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR ENTERING THE
STOVE IMMEDIATELY).
BURN-IN PERIOD
PAINT CURING 4. CAUTION: THE DRAFT CONTROL MUST BE FULLY OPEN BE-
FORE OPENING THE DOOR TO AVOID POSSIBLE COMBUSTION
FLASH!! (Ignition of hot volatile gases as the door is opened).
5. Feeding excessive amounts of fuel to the stove should be avoided.
It is important to supply it with sufficient draft and fuel to maintain
a moderately hot fire. If, during overnight burns, heavy creosote
deposits develop inside your stove and on the door, the draft is set
too low - review your burning habits!
