Certification
Gas appliances must be tested and certified by a nationally recognized
testing and certification laboratory to ANSI (American National Standard
Institute) gas appliance safety standards.
This insert has been tested and certified by OMNI -Test Laboratories to
ANSI Z21.88 / CSA 2.33 Standard for Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters and
CGA 2.17-M91 Gas-Fired Appliances for Use at High Altitudes in both
USA and Canada.

The Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest
edition (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA-B149.1 installation code).
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded and wired
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 - latest edition.
• Must conform with all local, state and national installation codes. In
the absence of local codes, the installation must conform with National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition, also known as NFPA 54
(In Canada, the current CAN/CSA B149.1 installation code). Refer
to the National Fuel Gas Code and local zoning and code authorities
for details on installation requirements.
• Must be vented directly to the outside in accordance with the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code and must never be attached to
a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
• Uses room air for combustion. It is imperative that provisions for
adequate combustion and ventilation air be made. This appliance is
NOT designed to and will not operate in a negative pressure. Contact
your dealer if you suspect such a situation exists.
• Has been certified for use with either natural gas or propane.
• Is not for use with solid fuels.
• Is approved for sitting rooms and/or bedrooms.
Fireplace Requirements
These heaters are designed to be installed into an existing masonry
fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards) or factory built solid
fuel, wood burning fireplace (listed to UL 127 or ULC S610) only. All
exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure. Combustion air
is drawn from outside the structure. When installing in a factory built
fireplace, the fireplace grate must be removed and the damper must be
removed or secured open.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access
hole of 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) or less may be drilled through the lower
sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner.
This access hole must be plugged with a non-combustible insulation
after the gas supply line has been installed.
Si le foyer préfabriqué ne comporte pas d’orifices d’amenée du gaz, un
orifice d’au plus 37,5 mm (1,5 po) peut être pratiqué, selon les règles
de l’art, dans la partie inférieure des parois ou au fond de la chambre de
combustion. Cet orifice doit être obturé au moyen d’isolant incombustible
une fois la conduite de gaz en place.
The installer must mechanically attach the marking supplied with the
gas fireplace insert to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which
the gas fireplace insert is installed.
IMPORTANT: When installing these appliances into a factory
built fireplace or heat-form, the air flow within and around the
fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert
(i.e. DO NOT BLOCK
louvers or cooling air
inlet or outlet ports,
circulating air cham-
bers in a steel fireplace
liner or metal heat
circulator).
WARNING
THIS FIREPLACE HAS BEEN ALTERED TO
ACCOMMODATE A FIREPLACE INSERT AND
SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED
PERSON PRIOR TO RE-USE AS A
CONVENTIONAL FIREPLACE.
THE FIRESTAR™ FIREPLACE INSERT
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (In Canada 4,500 FT/1370 M), the orifice
should be de-rated by 4% for every 1,000 feet to maintain the proper ratio
of gas to air. Improper orifice sizing may result in damage and unsafe
conditions. Changing the orifice should only be done by a qualified service
technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for proper orifice
sizes (see
Page 21
for more information).
ORIFICE SIZE/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
SMOKE DETECTORS
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If
your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.
