quiet operation
As the Vintage™ gas stove is burning, a number of normal
operational sounds may be heard. The flow of gas through
the gas valve and orifice may make a rushing or whistling
noise. If this noise is objectionable, it can be reduced by
turning down the flame. Turning down the flame can reduce
total heat output by more than 30%. If the optional blower
is installed, the sound of rushing air may be heard when
the blower is on. The blower sounds may be reduced by
adjusting the speed control located on the blower assembly.
Also, a slight clicking sound may be heard as the gas valve
or blower switch come on and off.
paint Curing
This stove has been painted with StoveBright high tempera-
ture metallic paint. It leaves the factory dry to the touch, but
completes the curing process as the stove is used. To cure
the paint, burn the appliance four successive times for ten
minutes each time with a five minute cool down between
each firing. Also some parts of the appliance may be lightly
coated with machining oil. Ventilate the house during these
first firings as the paint and oil give off carbon dioxide and
unpleasant odors. It is recommended that persons sensi
-
tive to an imbalance in the indoor air quality avoid the stove
during the curing process.
optional blower
An optional blower (part # 75194) may be installed on your
stove to maximize heat distribution. See your Lennox Hearth
Products dealer for blower information. The optional blower
is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
air shutter adjustment
The air shutter control lever is located on the bottom of the
stove directly to the left of the gas valve. The lever is linked
to the primary air shutter on the main burner. The air shutter
regulates the amount of primary air the burner receives and
therefore how clean the stove burns. The air shutter should
only be adjusted by a qualified gas technician. The stove
should burn for about 15 minutes with the logs installed
before adjusting the air shutter. Moving the lever down will
open the shutter and turn the flames more transparent and
blue. Moving the lever up will close the shutter and turn the
flames more orange.
Caution: The air shutter should never be set so as to
make the tips of the flames sooty or create sooting on
the viewing glass, logs, or firebox ceiling. If soot begins
to form after burning, the air shutter should be opened
gradually until the sooting condition stops. Gas quality
and gas pressure may vary which can affect the burning
characteristics of the stove.
