DOOR INSTALLATION
The doors must be put in place only when the installation of the Montecito
Estate™ is completed. All you have to do is fit the male part of the hinge,
already on the door, to the female part, which is on the fireplace. To remove
the doors, simply pull them up from the hinges. The door adjustment
has been set at the factory. If the fit is still not perfect, you can adjust
the door using the hinge screws (See Figure 7-1)

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
The doors may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’
air-tightness can be adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the
right side of the fireplace facade (An Allen key #1/8 – not supplied - will
be necessary for this adjustment) (see Figure 7-2).
Checking Door Seal
A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity
of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in at least eight points. It
is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does
not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not
hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your fireplace.
WARNINGS
Use only a Lennox Hearth Products glass doors,
specifically designed for the Montecito Estate
fireplace.
The fireplace cannot be operated without a door.
Consult your dealer to select the correct door
model.
Important! To assure proper alignment of glass
doors: Install this fireplace in a square and
plumb condition, using shims as necessary at
sides and/or bottom.

GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the Montecito Estate is a high temperature ceramic
glass (1,400° F). If the glass breaks or cracks, it must be replaced with
an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not
withstand the high temperatures of the Montecito Estate . Replacement
glass should be purchased from a Security Chimneys International dealer
(see “Replacement Parts” on Page 22).
Do not operate the unit with cracked or broken glass.
Glass Cleaning
The Montecito Estate is designed to keep the glass clean under normal
operating conditions. If the Montecito Estate is operated continuously
with the combustion air controls closed, the glass will tend to get dirty
unless the fuel, firebox and glass are maintained at hot temperatures (see
section Refueling For Best Performance). To clean the glass, there are a
number of specially designed cleaners to remove creosote. Your authorized
Lennox Dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner. Regular household
glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do not use abrasives such as steel
pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.
Gasket Replacement
Remove the doors from the unit (see section Door Installation) and lay
them on a clean nonabrasive surface. To replace the gasket, first remove
all of the old gasket and gasket cement. Make sure that the surface is
totally clean before applying new cement (a high temperature silicone
caulking rated at 500° F (260° C), is suitable) or adhesion problems may
result. Apply gasket cement to the gasket channel and install the new
gasket. This replacement part is available from your Lennox Dealer in
the following dimensions:
