FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE  
CREOSOTE  
Glass Replacement  
The glass used for the ME43 fireplace doors is  
a high temperature ceramic glass. If the glass  
breaks,itmustbereplacedwithaceramicglass  
suchasNeoceram. Temperedorordinaryglass  
will not withstand the high temperatures of  
the ELITE ME43 fireplace. Replacement glass  
shouldbepurchasedfromyourlocalLHPdealer.  
Do not operate the unit with cracked or broken  
glass. To remove the glass panel, unscrew the  
frame screws, remove the interior frame and  
the glass panel.  
Formation and Need for Removal  
7. Do not use the fireplace again until your  
chimney and fireplace have been inspected by  
a qualified chimney sweep or a fire department  
inspector.  
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar  
and other organic vapors, which combine  
with expelled moisture to form creosote. The  
creosote vapors condense in the relatively  
cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As  
a result, creosote residue accumulates on the  
flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes  
and extremely hot fire.  
Door Frame Care  
Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish  
the frame. Do not use abrasives such as steel  
wool or steel pads for they may scratch the  
door frame finish.  
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice  
a year during the heating season to determine  
when a creosote buildup has occurred.  
Disposing Of Ashes  
Remove ashes only when the fire is out and  
the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the  
fire is out).  
Glass Cleaning  
When creosote has accumulated it shall be  
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.  
The ME43 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  
LHP Dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner.  
Regularhouseholdglasscleanerswillnotclean  
creosote. Do not use abrasives such as steel  
pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as they will  
scratch the glass.  
Do not leave the ashes in the house as they give  
off carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.  
When the creosote accumulation is large, a  
creosote fire in the chimney can damage the  
chimney and overheat the surrounding wood  
framing. Creosote formation in a chimney can  
be minimized by making sure there is always  
visible flame burning, avoid smouldering fires  
and by proper refuelling techniques.  
WARNING  
DisposalofAshes: Ashesshould  
be placed in a metal container  
withatightttinglid. Theclosed  
container of ashes should be  
placed on a non-combustible  
floor or on the ground well away  
from all combustible materials,  
pending final disposal. If the  
ashes are disposed of by burial  
in soil or otherwise locally dis-  
persed, they should be retained  
in the closed container until  
all cinders have thoroughly  
cooled.  
Doors Adjustment  
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE  
Glass doors may lose their adjustment during  
transportation or installation of the fireplace.  
A wrong adjustment may cause a loss in  
combustion’s efficiency and control. The glass  
doors must be parallel, at the same height and  
must almost touch each other when closed.  
Maximum spacing between the doors is one  
sixteenth of an inch (1/16’’).  
Regular chimney inspection and maintenance  
combined with proper operation will help pre-  
vent chimney fires. Keep your chimney clean.  
Donotallowmorethana1/16"(1.6mm)build-up  
of creosote in your chimney. The amount of  
creosote will depend on variables such as fre-  
quency of use and type of fire. We recommend  
that you follow the instructions below:  
1. Initially, inspect the chimney system weekly.  
By doing this, you will learn how often it will  
be necessary to clean your chimney.  
2. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified  
chimney sweep. Chimney maintenance  
should only be conducted by a qualified  
technical or chimney sweep company.  
3. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep  
your chimney clean.  
The glass doors can be adjusted by loosening  
the three (3) screws of the hinges’ supports  
(see fastening screws in Figure 1). If a minor  
angular adjustment is needed, you may loosen  
only two (2) of the three (3) screws using the  
other as a pivot point.  
The raincap can be removed for inspection  
and/or cleaning of the chimney. Unscrew the

CHIMNEY FIRES  
If you are having a chimney fire, follow these  
steps:  
1. Close the glass doors and the air inlet.  
2. Close the chimney outside air register.  
3. Alert your family of the possible danger.  
4. If you require assistance, alert your fire  
department.

HOW TO USE THE RETRACTABLE DOORS  
AND FIRESCREENS  
HOWTOUSETHEOUTSIDEAIRREGISTER  
(FIREPLACE)  
OPERATING THE FIREPLACE  
Fuel  
The outside air register is located on the upper  
part of the top louver. The outside air register  
supplies oxygen to the fire and allows control  
of the fire when the doors are closed. The fresh  
air must come from outside the house (the  
air intake must not draw air from inside the  
house). This will minimize negative pressure  
in the house. The more you slide the register  
to the left, the more fresh air into the firebox  
and the more accelerated combustion you will  
get (see Figure 3). When starting a fire, the  
register should always be fully opened.  
TheLennoxME43replacefeaturesretractable  
doors and firescreens in order to allow a wider  
view of the fire and save space when the doors  
are opened. To retract the doors, simply open  
them at 90° and push them into the opening  
on the side of the firebox. The same procedure  
applies for the retractable firescreens. (see  
Figure 2).  
The ME43 fireplace is designed to work best  
when fueled with seasoned cordwood. Hard-  
woods are preferred to softwoods since the  
energycontentofwoodisrelativetoitsdensity.  
Hardwoods will result in a longer burning fire  
and less frequent refueling. A moisture con-  
tent of 15% to 20% (seasoned) is preferred.  
Excessively wet wood will be difficult to burn  
and will result in lower efficiency and increased  
creosoting.  
Note : Donotoperatethereplacewithbothre-  
screen and doors closed at the same 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 abuse the unit by burning  
large amounts of paper, cardboard, Christmas  
tree branches or building construction materi-  
als such as pressed wood, plywood or lumber.  
Intense firing with these may overheat the  
fireplace, causing damage to the unit, a fire,  
or even possibly igniting a chimney fire, if the  
chimney is creosoted.  
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION  
Preinstallation  
Please Read Before Installing:  
1. Before beginning the installation of your  
fireplace, read these safety tips and instal-  
lation instructions carefully to be sure you  
understand them completely. Failure to

2. TheME43replacehasbeentestedandlisted  
toULandULCstandardsbyWarnockHersey  
International Inc. These instructions were  
written to give you an outline for a fast and  
safe installation and trouble-free operation.  
The first 5 or 6 fires should be small fires of  
shortduration(about30-60minutes). Therst  
fire should be especially short. This will help  
cure the refractory bricks. The first fires may  
produce slight smoking and some odor due  
to drying of the paint and steel and any dust  
accumulated on the fireplace will be burn off at  
this time. For this reason the room should be  
well ventilated during the first few fires.

Check with the local building authorities  
before installing to determine what other  
materials are acceptable in your area.  
2. The hearth extension should be secured to  
the floor. The gap between the fireplace and  
thehearthextensionmustbesealed.Thesup-  
plied safety metal strip must be positioned  
as follows: One half under the front of the  
fireplace and the other half must extend on

Cold Climate Installations  
Outside Air Assembly  
Climates where temperatures will fall below  
32° F (0° C).  
The outside air assembly is mandatory for  
the fireplace.  
The heating performance of the appliance will  
vary depending upon the level of insulation,  
house design, how the appliance is operated,  
etc.  
During operation, the fireplace requires air for  
combustion and draws air out of the house. It  
may starve other fuel burning appliances such  
asgasoroilfurnaces. Aswell,exhaustblowers  
andblowerdrivenappliancesmaycompetefor  
air, causing a negative pressure in the home,  
resulting in smoke entering the home from  
the fireplace. This situation is aggravated in  
modern airtight houses.  
If this fireplace is being installed in a cold  
climate, it is especially important to seal all  
cracks around the fireplace and wherever cold  
air could enter the room with noncombustible  
material. Also, theoutsideairinletductshould  
be wrapped with noncombustible insulation  
to minimize the formation of condensation.  
Do not place insulation materials directly  
against the chimney sections. We recom-  
mend that you use the insulated wall radiation  
shield since it will maintain the home’s thermal  
barrier. AC chimney is NOT recommended in  
cold climates.  
* The safety metal strip must cover the entire  
width of the fireplace.  
3. Onaraisedbaseorraisedhearth,aZshape  
piece of metal must be fabricated to join the  
bottom of the fireplace to the floor.  
To overcome this potential problem, the  
installation of an outside air assembly is  
required to provide outside combustion air to  
the fireplace.

These blowers require periodic maintenance. Check the area in front of the blowers and wipe or  
vacuum at least once a month during the burn season.  
2. The duct and register may be installed above  
or below floor level.  
3. The outside air register must not be installed  
more than 7 feet (2.1 m) above the base of  
the fireplace.  
4. The outside air assembly must draw air from  
outside the house. It must not draw air from  
the attic, the basement or a garage.  
5. Locate the outside register where it will be  
well away from automobile exhaust fumes  
or other vents.  
6. The outside air register should be installed  
where it is not likely to be blocked by snow  
or exposed to extreme wind.  
7' MAX.  
7. It is recommended to install the outside air  
register at floor level. However, if you must

Vertical Installation  
One Offset (2 elbows)  
In areas with continuous temperatures below  
0º F (-18º C), the use of an exterior chimney  
increases the likelihood of operating problems  
such as low draft, high rate of creosoting and  
poor start up characteristics. Exterior chim-  
neys are also prone to down-drafting and flow  
reversal. Installations located in a basement,  
in combination with outside chimneys, are  
especially prone to flow reversal. In cold areas,  
air cooled chimneys should not be used in an  
exterior installation.

UNIVERSAL ROOF SUPPORT INSTALLATION  
CHIMNEY CHASE AND MULTIPLE  
TERMINATIONS  
This support has three possible uses:  
Forthepurposeofthismanual,achimneychase  
is considered a part of the chimney system  
rather than part of a building. The termination  
must be placed a minimum of 18" (460mm)  
above the chase.  
1. For ASHT+ and S-2100+ chimneys, it must be used on a roof to support the chimney.  
2. It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support the chimney above the  
offset.  
3. It may be used on a floor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support when the chimney height  
exceeds 15 feet (4.6 m.).  
For installation where more than one chimney  
is located in the same chase or within the same  
general area, we suggest that their termina-  
tions be separated by at least 16" (410mm)  
horizontally and 18" (460mm) vertically. This  
separation is to prevent smoke migrating from  
one chimney to another (see Figure 23).  
Table 7 gives maximum height of supported chimney.  
NOTE: For the AC chimney, a support section (AC8SL) must be used every 40’ (12 m) instead  
of the ST.  
For roof support installation, refer to the instructions provided with the support.  
UNIVERSAL OFFSET SUPPORT INSTALLATION  
This support is used to support the chimney above an offset. When the chimney offset is used  
to traverse a wall, this support may be used on the wall to support the chimney. The maximum  
heights are given in Table 7. For offset support installation, refer to the instructions provided  
with the support.
