Cautions & safety
FOR YOUR SAFETY do not install or operate your
Ravenna™ gas insert without first reading & understanding this manual. Any installation or operation of
the appliance deviating from that which is stated in this
manual WILL void the warranty & may be hazardous.
INSTALLATION & REPAIR SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY
A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO SERVICE THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF.
The insert should be inspected & cleaned before use
& at least annually by a qualified service technician.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from bedding material, carpeting, etc.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners, &
circulating air passageways of the room heater be kept
clean.
Adequate clearances around the combustion chamber
and accessibility clearances for servicing & proper
operation must be maintained.
Turn off the gas before servicing this appliance. It is
recommended that a qualified service technician perform an appliance check-up at the beginning of each
heating season.
All installations must conform with all local, state,
& national 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 & local zoning &
code authorities for details on installation requirements.
Your Ravenna gas insert must be vented to the outside
in accordance with the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code.
This gas insert MUST be vented directly to the outside
& MUST NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance MUST USE a separate vent system. Common vent
systems are PROHIBITED.
Mobile home installations must conform with the Mobile
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR,
Part 3280 (in Canada CAN/CSA Z240 MH), or, when such
a standard is not applicable, the Standard for Mobile
Home Installations, ANSI A225.1 - latest edition.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition. In Canada, the current
CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical Code - latest edition.
Your Lennox™ gas insert must be equipped for the
proper fuel type & altitude at which it will be operated.
Any operation outside the parameters outlined in this
manual may result in a hazardous condition & will void
the warranty. Please carefully read the sections pertaining to these subjects and/or be sure your appliance is
properly equipped.
Do not use this insert if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the appliance & to replace any part of the control system
& any gas control which has been under water.
Due to high temperatures, the insert should be located
out of traffic areas & away from furniture & draperies.
Children & adults should be alerted to the hazards of
high surface temperature & should stay away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition. Young children should be
carefully supervised when they are in the same room as
the Lennox gas insert. Clothing or any other flammable
material should not be placed on or near the insert.
Never use solid fuels such as wood, paper, cardboard,
coal, or any flammable liquids, etc., in this appliance.
Any grill, panel, or glass removed for service MUST be
replaced prior to operating the insert. Do not operate
appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or
broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a
qualified service technician.
DO NOT USE abrasive cleaner on the glass door assem-
bly. DO NOT ATTEMPT to clean the glass door when it
is hot.
Gold & nickel plated surfaces must be cleaned with
glass cleaner & a clean soft cloth before firing the first
time or fingerprints will remain permanently. NEVER use
brass polish to clean gold or nickel, this will remove
the plating!!!
When opening the lower door on the face while the
insert is burning, pull at the far left or far right vent
openings, because the door is hot during operation.

Orifice Size/Altitude Adjustment
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. Chang
ing the orifice should only be done by a qualified service
technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for
proper orifice sizes.
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. 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.
The Ravenna™ Insert
• 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

and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (in Canada
CAN/CSA Z240 MH), or when such a standard is not
applicable, the Standard for Manufactured Home Instal
lations, ANSI A225.1 - latest edition for manufactured
(mobile) home installations.
• 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.

Electrical
The standard fan motor requires 120 Volts AC for operation.
The fireplace is not dependent on the fan or an outside elec
trical supply to operate.
Instructions - This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard
and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Millivolt Valve
This insert is operated with a millivolt valve and therefore
burns even during a power outage.
Fuel
This insert comes from the factory equipped to burn natural
gas at a specified elevation. The insert can be converted
to burn LP (liquid propane) by installing a conversion kit.
Only Lennox Hearth Products conversion kits can be used
to convert from NG to LP or LP to NG. Contact your Lennox

CAUTIONS
• The fireplace in which this gas insert is to be
installed must be thoroughly cleaned if it has
been used to burn wood or synthetic logs. Have
the chimney and all inside surfaces of the fireplace brushed and vacuumed so that no soot,
embers, or loose combustion deposits can be
drawn into the heat circulation blower and blown
into the living area.
• If any portion of the chimney system shows signs
of structural or mechanical weaknesses, such
as: cracks, leaky joints, corroded or warped
surfaces, the faulty portion must be repaired
or replaced prior to installing this appliance.
• The factory built firebox must accept the insert
without modification other than removing bolted
or screwed together pieces such as baffles /
smoke shelf / deflectors, ash lips, glass door,
screen or door tracks, log grates, refractory or
masonry lining and damper assemblies. Any
fireplace component, which is removed, must be
retained so they can be reinstalled to restore the
fireplace to its original operating condition. The
removal of any part must not alter the integrity
of the outer shell of the pre-engineered fireplace
cabinet in any way. Any parts removed must be
-
replaceable. If any components are removed
from (or altered) from the existing fireplace,
a Warning Label (see Page 4) must be affixed
inside the fireplace firebox, so that it shall be
visible upon removal of the fireplace insert. Note:
RTV high temperature silicone is an approved
adhesive to affix the label.
