THE FIREPLACE
INTRODUCTION
The Brentwood wood-burning fireplace is an
energy efficient, heat circulating, closed com-
bustion fireplace. You will receive a lifetime
of comfort and enjoyment from your fireplace
provided it is installed, maintained and oper-
ated properly.
•
Please read these instructions and retain
this manual for future reference.
•
Before beginning the fireplace installation,
consult the local authorities to obtain your
building permit and check your local building
codes. Install the fireplace only as described
in these instructions and using only Lennox
Hearth Products components.
•
The Brentwood is not intended for use with a
gas log set. Do not use a fireplace insert or
any other product with this fireplace unless it is
specified by Lennox for use with this appliance.
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
certification and the warranty of the fireplace
and may result in an unsafe installation.
• Lennox™ wood fireplaces are designed for
use as a supplemental heater. They are not
intended for continuous use as a primary
heat source.
• These appliances are not approved for
Manufactured Home installations.

OPERATING THE BRENTWOOD
Fuel
USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL ONLY.
The Brentwood is designed to work best when
fueled with dry seasoned natural wood only.
Hardwoods are preferred to softwoods since the
energy content of wood is relative to its density.
Hardwoods will result in a longer burning fire
and less frequent refueling. A moisture content
of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is recommended.
Wood that has been cut and split and let to dry
under a cover for a period of one year will usu-
ally meet that criteria. Excessively wet wood
will be difficult to burn and will result in lower
efficiency, increased creosoting and deposits on
the glass and in the chimney. Excessively dry
wood will burn well but will also have higher
emissions and shorter burning time.
Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or
wood such as driftwood from the ocean which
has been exposed to salt or other chemicals.
Salt or chemicals can corrode the firebox and
chimney. Do not burn large amounts of paper,
cardboard, Christmas tree branches or build-
ing construction materials. Intense firing with
these materials may overheat the fireplace,
causing damage to the unit, a fire or even
possibly igniting a chimney fire if the chimney
is creosoted.
First Fires
Before using the fireplace make sure to re-
move the plastic wrapping and EPA label on
the door. Remove any glue residue left by the
label using mild soap.
The first five or six fires should be small fires of
short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes). This
will help cure the refractory bricks. The first
fires may produce slight smoking and some
odor due to curing of the paint and steel and
the burning off of dust accumulated on the
fireplace will burn off at this time. It may set off
a smoke alarm located in the same room. For
this reason the room should be well ventilated
for the first few fires.
CONGRATULATIONS!
In selecting this LENNOX wood-burning appliance you have chosen one of the finest
fireplaces available. The Brentwood™ is a clean burning EPA certified fireplace that is
designed to provide you dependable service as well as warmth and enjoyment for many
years to come.
Please carefully read and follow all of the instructions found in this manual. Please pay
special attention to the safety instructions provided in this manual. This information
will be useful to you now and in years to come, so keep the manual handy and refer to
it as needed.
