These screens are specifically manufactured for Marco fireplaces and may not be compatible with other brands.
2. Safety Information

- Do not touch the screen while the fireplace is in use or immediately after, as it will be hot. Use appropriate fireplace tools to manipulate the screen.
- Keep children and pets away from the fireplace area when in use.
- Regularly inspect the screen for any damage or wear. Replace damaged screens immediately.
- This screen is designed to contain sparks and embers, but it does not eliminate all risks. Exercise caution when operating a fireplace.
3. Package Contents
- Two (2) Marco Fireplace Screens (Model LNXH6208)
Note: The screen rod required for installation is not included and must be acquired separately (ASIN B06XPGT5V1).
4. Setup and Installation
These fireplace screens are designed for straightforward installation into compatible 36-inch Marco fireplaces. Ensure you have the correct screen rod before beginning installation.
Installation Steps:
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm your fireplace is a 36-inch Marco (Lennox) model (stock number 161136). These screens are not universal.
- Acquire Screen Rod: If you do not have one, obtain a compatible screen rod (Lennox part number H6208, ASIN B06XPGT5V1).
- Prepare Fireplace: Ensure the fireplace is cool and clean before installation.
- Install Screen Rod: Insert the screen rod into the designated mounting points at the top interior of your fireplace opening.
- Attach Screens: Hook the top rings of each fireplace screen onto the installed screen rod. The screens should hang freely and be able to slide smoothly along the rod.
- Test Movement: Gently slide each screen to ensure it moves without obstruction and covers the fireplace opening adequately when closed.

5. Operation
To operate the Marco Fireplace Screens, use the integrated handles located at the top of each screen. Gently slide the screens open to access the fireplace for lighting or tending to the fire. Once the fire is established or when the fireplace is not actively being tended, slide the screens closed to cover the opening. This helps prevent sparks and embers from escaping into the room.
Always use a fireplace poker or heat-resistant gloves if you need to adjust the screens while the fire is burning.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Allow the screens to cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove ash and soot. For stubborn residue, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mesh for any tears, holes, or bent sections. Inspect the hanging rings and the screen rod for wear or damage.
- Storage: If removing the screens for extended periods, store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
7. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Screens do not fit | Incorrect fireplace size or brand. | Verify your fireplace is a 36-inch Marco model. These screens are not universal. |
