Opening and Removing Door

CAUTION: Do not open the glass door when the ﬁreplace is

burning. Let the unit cool before opening the door. At the top

of the glass door are two spring-loaded latches. While holding

the door against the ﬁrebox, pull each latch forward and up -

releasing the top of the glass door. To remove the door, grasp it

ﬁrmly with both hands and lift it up so the two tabs at the bottom

of the door are lifted out of their retaining slots. The glass door

is quite heavy, so it is important to place it in a secure spot until

reinstalled. To reinstall the door, the tabs at the bottom of the

door must be inserted in the slots at the bottom of the ﬁrebox.

The spring loaded latches must be pulled forward and down to

apply pressure against the door.

Blower Removal

Disconnect the power supply at the household electrical panel prior to

blower removal. The blower can be accessed through the lower door on

the ﬁreplace face.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic-

ing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous

operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

See the fan wiring diagram on Page 22 for reference. The blower is located

at the rear of the open area beneath the ﬁrebox. (During installation of

the ﬁreplace, if the gas line was fed in from the right side it will now need

to be removed). To remove the blower, disconnect the wiring by pulling

the two spade connectors loose at the blower motor. The blower rests

on two pins - one located at each end of the blower. Grasp the blower

assembly at each end and pull the blower forward off the two pins. (If the

blower assembly is pulled from the center, it may distort the assembly).

The blower can then be carefully pulled out from under the ﬁreplace. To

install the blower repeat the steps in the reverse order. There is a rubber

grommet at each end of the blower assembly which slides over the pins

supporting the blower. Make sure these grommets are in place when

reinstalling the blower.

Fuel Conversion

Converting the Ravelle™ 42 gas ﬁreplace between natural gas and LP can

be accomplished by either changing the cassette (valve and pilot assembly)

or installing a conversion kit (regulator, burner oriﬁce and changing the

oriﬁce position on the pilot). Only a qualiﬁed ser vice technician should

perform the conversion.

Cassette Removal:

1. Be sure the gas supply is shut off and the ﬁreplace electrical supply

is shut off at the electrical panel before beginning the conversion.

Disconnect the gas supply from the ﬁreplace, being careful not to

apply pressure to the valve in the process.

2. Remove the log set and brick panels (see Brick Panel and Log Set

Installation).

3. Remove the two allen head screws at the left and right rear of the

ﬁrebox securing the burner support. Lift out the burner and burner

support.

4. Remove the two allen head screws holding the burner in place.

5. Remove the labeled cover through which the valve control knobs

protrude by removing the two allen head screws securing

it and slide it off the valve knobs.

6. Mark and disconnect wires on valve terminals #1 and #3 connected

to the burner on/off switch, thermostat, or remote control.

7. Remove all the allen head screws (around the perimeter of the cassette

panel) fastening the cassette to the ﬁrebox.

8. Grasp the cassette assembly from inside the ﬁrebox and pull it into

the ﬁrebox and out of the ﬁreplace.

9. Install new, converted, or serviced cassette in the reverse order of

removal. Replace gasket if necessary.

10. All parts and wires must be correctly reinstalled to ensure safe and

proper operation of the unit.

Conversion Kit:

Please see instructions provided with conversion kit.

Glass/Door Maintenance

Cleaning: When cool, the glass may be cleaned with a clean, soft cloth

and a household glass cleaner. For cleaning white condensation from

the interior glass use a gas ﬁreplace glass cleaner available from your

ﬁreplace dealer. Use of caustic or abrasive cleaners may damage glass.

Gold or nickel plated doors must be cleaned with a household glass

cleaner or denatured alcohol and a soft cloth before ﬁring or ﬁngerprints

and stains will remain permanently. Never use abrasive polish to clean

the gold or nickel as it will ruin the ﬁnish. DO NOT operate ﬁreplace with

broken glass. DO NOT clean door or glass when hot. DO NOT abuse glass

door by striking or slamming shut. DO NOT use substitute materials if

replacing glass. DO NOT spray commercial glass cleaner with ammonia

on the door and glass gasket as it may dissolve the gasket glue.

WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass panel re-

moved, cracked, or broken. Do not remove the glass door while

the ﬁreplace is hot. Replacement of the glass door should be

done by a qualiﬁed service technician.

Glass Replacement: The glass in the ﬁreplace door cannot be replaced

separately. Should the glass be damaged, the entire glass, gasket and

frame assembly should be replaced as a unit. This replacement glass as-

sembly is available from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer. The glass

is neo-ceramic and alternative types must not be used.
