FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Locating The Solana Fireplace
A. The best location to install your fireplace is
determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the
room where the fireplace is located, allow-
ing space in front of the unit for the hearth
extension and the mantel, and taking into
consideration the location of the outside air
kit and chimney.
GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the Solana™ fireplace is a
high temperature ceramic glass (1,400° F / 760°
C). If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with
an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass
or ordinary glass will not withstand the high
temperatures of the Solana fireplace. Replace-
ment glass should be purchased from a Lennox
Hearth Products dealer (see “Replacement
Parts”, Pages 24 and 25). DO NOT OPERATE
THE UNIT WITH CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS.
To remove the glass, unscrew the frame fasten-
ing screws (see figure 5), remove the interior
frame and the glass.
Glass Cleaning
The Solana™ fireplace is designed to keep the
glass clean under normal operating condi-
tions. To clean the glass there are a number of
specially designed cleaners. Your authorized
Lennox Hearth Products 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.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL GLASS CLEANERS
ON PAINTED SURFACES AS IT MAY CAUSE
THE PAINT TO PEEL.
CAUTION : DO NOT ALLOW WINDOW CLEANER
TO GET IN CONTACT WITH DOOR GASKET OR
PAINT ON FACADE OR DOOR. ONCE CLOSED,
CONTACT OF GLASS CLEANER WITH THE
FIREPLACE FACADE CAN PROVOKE PAINT
PEELING OFF.
Gasket Replacement
Remove the doors from the unit (see Page 6)
and lay each door on a clean unabrasive 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.

If possible, you should choose a location
where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting floor or roof joists
(see fireplace dimensions Page 10).
B. Usually, no additional floor support is needed
for the fireplace. The adequacy of the floor
can be checked by first estimating the weight
of the fireplace system. Weights are given
in the appendix. Note the floor construc-
tion and consult your local building code to
determine if additional support is needed.
C. The Solana fireplace may be installed di-
rectly on the floor or on a raised base (for
proper guidelines, refer to “Hearth Extension
Requirements”) and a minimum of 7 ft (2.1
m) measured from the base of the appliance
to the ceiling is required.
When selecting the location, the chimney outlet
position and the direction of the wind are impor-
tant factor affecting the chimney performance.
To allow a maximum draft and to reduce wind
turbulence, the chimney must:

• Beinstalledasfaraspossibleofroofoffsets,
trees or any other obstructions that may
cause wind turbulence and back drafts in
the chimney.
