This appliance is not designed to be operated in a negative pressure. 

In very airtight homes with large kitchen exhaust fans, furnace cold air 

returns, fresh air exchange systems and any other air system in close 

proximity to the heating appliance may create a negative pressure in the 

same room as the heating appliance. This can create dangerous back 

drafting of the stove and chimney joints, drawing combustion by-products 

into the home. Be sure your home has adequate makeup air to eliminate 

negative pressures caused by the above-mentioned sources. Outside air 

connected to the appliance probably will not resolve such a problem as 

the stove or fireplace insert is not the source of negative pressure. Lennox 

Hearth Products accepts no liability for damages resulting from negative 

pressures described here.

Ventilation Requirements 

- Provide adequate air for combustion. The 

fresh air requirements of this appliance must be met within the space 

where it will be installed. Ventilation is essential when using a Solid-Fuel-

Burning heater.  In well insulated and weather tight homes, it may be 

difficult to establish a good draft up the chimney (caused by a shortage 

of air in the home). The lack of air is caused by many common household 

appliances which exhaust air from the home (such as a furnace, heat 

pump, air conditioner, clothes dryer, exhaust fans, fireplaces, and other 

fuel burning appliances). Also, the combustion process of this heater 

uses oxygen from inside the dwelling.  If the available fresh air delivery 

in the dwelling is insufficient to support the demands of these appliances, 

problems can result (i.e. excessive negative pressure can develop in the 

dwelling which will affect the rate at which this appliance can draft thus 

resulting in performance problems.  To correct this problem it may help 

to open a window (preferably on the windward side of the house) or 

install an optional outside air kit.

This unit is designed and engineered to burn, dry, well-seasoned wood only. 

Dry, seasoned wood is that which has been cut, split and allowed to dry 

under a covered area where air is free to flow and circulate under and 

around the wood (not under a tarp or plastic). Make sure wood is not 

stacked directly on the ground, it may absorb moisture from the ground. 

It should be allowed to dry in these conditions for a minimum of six 

months, preferably one year or more.

 

IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD 

THAT WOOD CANNOT BE LEFT IN ANY KIND OF WET OR DAMP 

AREA OR IT WILL NEVER BECOME COMPLETELY SEASONED

Your stove will not operate at the level that it is meant to unless you use 

seasoned, dry wood. Do not burn driftwood or wood that has been in salt 

water, doing so will void your warranty. Do not burn treated wood, coal, 

garbage, cardboard, solvents, or colored paper. Burning treated wood, 

garbage, solvents, or colored paper may result in the release of toxic 

fumes. This type of burning will also void your warranty.

Do Not store fuel within space heater installation clearances or within 

the space required for refueling and ash removal.

NEGATIVE PRESSURE WARNING

Ashes should be scooped out of a cool stove with a small metal shovel. 

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid and moved 

outdoors immediately. Other waste shall not be placed in this container.  

The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible 

floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending 

final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise 

locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until 

all the cinders have thoroughly cooled. Ashes can ignite up to 72 hours 

after removal from the stove.

Creosote Formation and Need for Removal 

- When wood is burned 

slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with 

expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the 

relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote 

residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes 

an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney connector should be 

inspected at least once monthly during the heating season to determine 

if a creosote build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated (1/8” [3 

mm] or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

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 gold has 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 imbalance in the 

indoor air quality avoid the stove during the curing process.

Your new appliance 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 DAMAGE 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 moisture, 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 stovetop 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).

CREOSOTE

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

FUEL

BURN-IN PERIOD

PAINT CURING

Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique. 

Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often 

you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the 

less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary 

in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in 

the coldest months. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire 

authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a 

clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire.
