TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
1. Turn off the "ON/OFF" rocker switch and/or thermostat (if
installed) to its lowest setting.
2. Turn off electric power to the appliance if service is to be
performed.
3. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to "OFF." Do not force.
This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be
installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and
ventilation air.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
To turn off the burner, turn the rocker switch to "OFF" or adjust
the thermostat (if installed) to a setting below room temperature.
The pilot will remain lit for future burner ignition. For complete
shutdown, see "TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE" above.
Flame Color and Behavior
Your Ravelle™ 42 gas fireplace is designed for maximum heating ef-
ficiency. Therefore, upon lighting of the main burner the flames will be
semi-transparent or “bluish.” After 10-20 minutes of operation the logs
will heat up and the flames will become a yellow/orange color.
Adjusting the fireplace to cause the flames to turn orange sooner may
result in poor combustion, sooting and a hazardous situation. See Figure
45 showing proper flame appearance.
When testing for proper operation - If an optional thermostat is installed
adjust it to its highest temperature setting. Visually determine that main
burner gas is burning properly: i.e., no floating, lifting or flashback.
Adjust the primary air shutter(s) as required. Check for proper main
burner operation at both high and low flame.

•
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury or
property damage. For assistance or additional
information, consult a qualified installer, service
agency or your gas supplier.
•
Operation of this appliance when not connected
to a properly installed and maintained venting
system can result in carbon monoxide (CO)

carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu
with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you
have these signs, get fresh air at once! Have
