Installation of these appliances are approved for installation in New York
City in the US state of New York.
• Must conform with all local, state and national installation codes. In
the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition, also known as NFPA 54
(In Canada, the current CAN/CSA B149.1 installation code). Refer to
the National Fuel Gas Code and local zoning and code authorities for
details on installation requirements.
• Must be vented directly to the outside in accordance with the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code and must never be attached to
a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
• Uses room air for combustion. It is imperative that provisions for
adequate combustion and ventilation air be made. This appliance is
NOT designed to and will not operate in a negative pressure. Contact
your dealer if you suspect such a situation exists.
• Has been certified for use with either natural gas or propane.
• Is not for use with solid fuels.
• Is approved for sitting rooms and/or bedrooms.
Fireplace Requirements
These heaters are designed to be installed into an existing masonry
fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards) or factory built solid
fuel, wood burning fireplace (listed to UL 127 or ULC S610) only. All
exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure. Combustion air
is drawn from outside the structure. When installing in a factory built
fireplace, the fireplace grate must be removed and the damper must be
removed or secured open.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access
hole of 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) or less may be drilled through the lower
sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This
access hole must be plugged with a non-combustible insulation after the
gas supply line has been installed.
The installer must mechanically attach the marking supplied with the gas
fireplace insert to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the
gas fireplace insert is installed.
IMPORTANT: When installing these appliances into a factory
built fireplace or heat-form, the air flow within and around the
fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert
(i.e. DO NOT BLOCK louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports,
circulating air chambers in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat
circulator).
ORIFICE SIZE/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M),the orifice
should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper ratio
of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing may result in damage and unsafe
conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a qualified service
technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for proper orifice
sizes. (see Page 15 for more information)
THE DESIGNER™ INSERT
SMOKE DETECTORS
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If
your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.
CODES AND APPROVALS
Certification
Gas appliances must be tested and certified by a nationally recognized
testing and certification laboratory to ANSI (American National Standard
Institute) gas appliance safety standards.

CAUTIONS
•Trim panels or surrounds must not seal ventila-
tion openings in the existing fireplace that the
appliance is installed in.
•The fireplace in which this gas insert is to be
installed must be thoroughly cleaned if it has
been used to burn wood or synthetic logs. Have
the chimney and all inside surfaces of the fire-
place brushed and vacuumed so that no soot,
embers, or loose combustion deposits can be
drawn into the heat circulation blower and blown
into the living area.
•If any portion of the chimney system shows signs
of structural or mechanical weaknesses, such
as: cracks, leaky joints, corroded or warped
surfaces, the faulty portion must be repaired
or replaced prior to installing this appliance.
•The factory built firebox must accept the insert
without modification other than removing bolted
or screwed together pieces such as baffles /
smoke shelf / deflectors, ash lips, glass door,
screen or door tracks, log grates, refractory or
masonry lining and damper assemblies. Any
fireplace component, which is removed, must be
retained so they can be reinstalled to restore the
fireplace to its original operating condition. The
removal of any part must not alter the integrity
of the outer shell of the pre-engineered fireplace
cabinet in any way. Any parts removed must be
replaceable. If any components are removed
from (or altered) from the existing fireplace,
a Warning Label (see Page 4) must be affixed
inside the fireplace firebox, so that it shall be

WARNING
B-Vent appliances are not designed to operate
in negatively pressured environments (pressure
within the home is less than pressures outside).
Significant negatively pressured environments
caused by weather, home design, or other devices
may impact the operation of these appliances.
Negative pressures may result in poor flame
appearance, sooting, damage to property and/or
severe personal injury. Do not operate these
appliances in negatively pressured environments.
Providing adequate ventilation to the appliance for
combustion air will eliminate a negative pressure
environment.

8NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Insert Venting
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a safety control
system designed to protect against improper venting of combus-
tion products. Operation of this heater when not connected to
a properly installed and maintained venting system or tamper-
ing with the blocked vent shut-off system can result in carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
Insert must be vented to the outside in accordance with the current edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI-Z223.1-latest edition, also known
as NFPA 54 (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA B149.1 installation code).
The insert must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate
solid fuel burning appliance.
This gas insert requires a 4” diameter B-vent or listed flex aluminum
or stainless chimney liner extending the entire length of the chimney to
ensure proper operation. The vent should terminate with a chimney cap
or rain cap. Chimney should be sealed around cap to prevent air and rain
from entering chimney. Adhere to vent manufacturer's instructions for
installation and vent termination.
The insert must be installed so the
draft hood is in the same atmospheric
pressure zone as the combustion air
inlet to the appliance.
Flue Collar Connection
This insert has a detachable flue col-
lar to ease installation. To detach flue
collar, unscrew the draft tube retaining
screw and slide draft tube and flue
collar to the rear. Attach flue collar
(with 3 sheet metal screws or a B-vent
connector) to vent pipe previously

INSTALLATION

9
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Zero Clearance Fireplace Installation
This insert may be installed in a masonry or factory built / zero clearance
(ZC) fireplace. When installing in a ZC fireplace the ZC grate must be
removed and the ZC damper must be removed or secured open. The ZC
doors, screen, refractory or masonry lining, baffles and smoke shelf may
be removed if necessary to install the gas insert. However, do not cut
or alter the fireplace components. The removal of any parts to facilitate
installation must not alter the integrity of the inner or outer shells of the
fireplace cabinet. Any parts removed must be replaceable if the insert is
taken out of the fireplace or the fireplace clearly marked with a paint stick
that "This fireplace has been altered and is no longer safe to operate."
The insert is designed to fit into a ZC fireplace with a minimum firebox
height of 19-1/2 inches (495 mm). To facilitate this installation the flue
collar is removable (See "Flue Collar Connection").
Glass Door Removal
See Page 19 for Glass Door Removal Instructions.
Brick Liner Installation
The brick panels are extremely fragile so handle them with care.
1. Remove the panels from their packing material.
2. The long rectangular panel goes in the rear of the firebox - the thin
layer of bricks should be down. The brick panel rests on the air control
panel. The rear brick panel is held in place by the side panels.
3. The rounded edge of the side panels goes to the front. Install the side
panels by sliding them along the side of the firebox. They are held in
place by two screws protruding from the top of the firebox.
Log Set and Ember Installation
If logs are not installed according to the log installation instruc-
tions, flame impingement and improper combustion could occur
and result in soot and/or excessive production of carbon monoxide
(CO), a colorless, odorless, toxic gas.
The size and position of the log set is critical to achieve a safe,
reliable and attractive flame pattern. Any attempt to use a different
log set in the appliance will void the warranty and will result in
incomplete combustion, sooting and poor flame quality.
Parts list: rear log, left front log, right front log, left top log, right top
log and small straight twig
1) Remove the logs from the box and carefully unwrap them. The logs
are fragile so handle them with care.
2) At the rear of the firebox is a log retainer (the circled area in Figure
10). This retainer can be rotated forward to increase the size of the
flames in front of the rear log. Rotate the retainer by loosening screw
A. For inserts burning propane the retainer may be rotated half the
way forward. For inserts burning natural gas, the retainer may be
rotated all the way forward. It may be necessary to try various setting
to find the optimum one. Never rotate the retainer to such an extent
as to cause sooting.
3) Align the holes in the bottom of the rear log (the longest log in the set)
with the two pegs just to the rear of the rear burner tube and slide the
log down onto the pegs. See Figure 10. The charred black surface of
the log should face the front. (Continued on the following page).

holes in its bottom surface slide onto the two pegs on the right side
of the air control panel. See Figure 11.
5) Rotate the left front log (3017 is cast into its bottom surface) so the
black charred surface is toward the front and place it on the pegs
protruding from the left side of the air control panel as shown in
Figure 11.
6) The small straight top twig (3021) should be turned so the black flat
end is turned to the rear. Slide the holes in the bottom of this twig
over the right peg on the left front log and the hole on the right front
log. See Figure 12.
7) The left top log (3019) should be positioned as shown in Figure 12.
