AVERTISSEMENT

Pour éviter le risque d’endommager les matériaux du foyer et d’augmenter le risque d’incendie, n’employez pas le foyer pour faire cuire ou réchauffer de la nourriture.

1.Before starting your fireplace installation, read these installation instructions carefully to be sure you understand them completely and in entirety. Failure to follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.

2.Always check your local building codes. The installation must comply with all lo- cal, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

3.This fireplace must be installed with Security Chimneys FTF8 [8" (203mm) inside diam- eter] Chimney System only. This fireplace is intended for indoor or outdoor installations. The chimney system must always vent to the outside of the building or structure.

4.To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent the build-up of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney prior to use and periodically during the heat- ing season.

5.Burn approved fuels only as defined in the Homeowner's Care and Operation Manual.

6.NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this fireplace. Keep any flammable liquids at safe distance from the fireplace.

7.NEVER leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace.

8.Always keep flue damper open when heat is present in the fireplace.

9.Before servicing, allow the fireplace to cool.

Always shut off any gas to the fireplace while working on it. This will prevent the possibility of burns.

10.This fireplace is not a heater. It is designed to ensure homeowner comfort by providing supplemental heat to its immediate area.

11.Keep screens closed after feeding fire to keep embers from flying out ot fireplace.

12.INDOOR INSTALLATIONS:

•Always ensure that an adequate supply of replacement combustion air from the outside of the house is accessible to the fire to support normal combustion. Fireplaces consume large volumes of air during the normal combustion process.

•In the event the home is tightly sealed with modern energy efficient features, the optional outside air kit may not provide all the air required to support combustion.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

•The manufacturer is not responsible for any smoking or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is the responsibility of the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate combustion air has been provided for the fireplace.

•An Outside Air Cover (provided) or an Out- side Air Kit Gate, model OAKG-OD(optional) must be installed to prevent significant cold air infiltration.

13.Always ensure that the air inlet to the fireplace is free from debris and any other obstructions that can block the entrance of air.

14.DO NOT use a fireplace insert or any other product not specified by Lennox for use with this fireplace. All gas log sets must be operated with the damper clamped open, including unlisted “vent free” log sets. Listed “vent-free” log sets may be operated with the damper closed.

15."Smoke free” operation is not warranteed nor are we responsible for inadequate system draft, general construction conditions, inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind conditions and/or unusual environmental factors or conditions beyond our control.

16.Never, under any circumstances, install a fireplace, chimney component or any acces- sories, that has visible or suspected physical damage as a result of handling or transporta- tion. These items should be inspected by your distributor or qualified factory representative to ensure safe condition. When in doubt, consult your distributor.

17.For additional safety considerations and complete operating instructions, refer to the Care and Operation Manual provided with the fireplace.
