Air Shutter Adjustment

The air shutter control lever is located on the bottom of the stove directly to the left of the gas valve. The lever is linked to the primary air shutter on the main burner. The air shutter regulates the amount of primary air the burner receives and therefore how clean the stove burns. The air shutter should only be adjusted by a qualified gas technician. The stove should burn for about 15 minutes with the logs installed before adjusting the air shutter. Moving the lever down will open the shutter and turn the flames more transparent and blue. Moving the lever up will close the shutter and turn the flames more orange.

CAUTION: The air shutter should never be set so as to make the tips of the flames sooty or create sooting on the viewing glass, logs, or firebox ceiling. If soot begins to form after burning, the air shutter should be opened gradually until the sooting condition stops. Gas quality and gas pressure may vary which can affect the burning characteristics of the stove.

If the optional blower is installed, the sound of rushing air may be heard when the blower is on. The blower sounds may be reduced by adjusting the speed control located on the blower assembly. Also, a slight clicking sound may be heard as the gas valve or blower switch come on and off.

Paint Curing

This stove has been painted with a high temperature metallic paint. It leaves the factory dry to the touch, but completes the curing process as the stove is used. To cure the paint, burn the appliance four successive times for ten minutes each time with a five minute cool down between each firing. Also some parts of the appliance may be lightly coated with machining oil. Ventilate the house during these first firings as the paint and oil give off carbon dioxide and unpleasant odors. It is recommended that persons sensitive to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the stove during the curing process.

Optional Wall Thermostat

If an optional wall thermostat is to be installed, install the thermostat per the manufacturers instructions (provided with the thermostat). Failure to follow manufacturers instructions could result in a malfunction. Pay special attention to the thermostat location requirements. If the loca- tion requirements are not adhered to the appliance, erratic operation or failure may occur.

Do not mount the thermostat where it may be affected by:

Radiant heat from this appliance, fireplaces, sun or other heat sources.

Drafts or dead spots behind doors or in corners.

Hot or cold air from ducts.

Quiet Operation

As the Vintage™ gas stove is burning, a number of normal operational sounds may be heard. The flow of gas through the gas valve and orifice may make a rushing or whistling noise. If this noise is objectionable, it can be reduced by turning down the flame. Turning down the flame can reduce total heat output by more than 30%.

Optional Blower

An optional blower (part # 75194) may be installed on your stove to maximize heat distribution. See your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for blower information. The optional blower is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
