Opening and Removing Glass Door
The doors on the stove may be opened to provide an unobstructed view
of the fire or to provide greater access to the firebox. To open the doors,
when the stove is cool, simply pull on the right door and it will swing
open. The left door can then also be swung open.
Lift off the stove top to access the glass door. At the top of the glass door
are two spring­loaded "I" (looped) bolts. Pull each loop forward while
rotating at 90 degrees, releasing the top of the glass door. To remove
the door, grasp it firmly with both hands and lift it up. The glass door is
fragile so it is important to place it in a secure spot until reinstalled. To
reinstall the door, the bottom of the door must be inserted in the slot at
the bottom of the firebox. The loops on the spring loaded "I" bolts must
be pulled forward and down into the receiving bracket on the door to apply
pressure against the door. The latches need pulled forward and rotated
at 90 degrees. Once the loops are in the receiving bracket you will then
rotate them back 90 degrees so they are at the angle shown in Figure 36.

Glass Door Cleaning And Maintenance

Cleaning:
cloth and a household glass cleaner. For cleaning white condensation
from the interior glass use a gas stove glass cleaner available from your
stove dealer. Use of caustic or abrasive cleaners may damage glass. Gold
or nickel plated trim 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 spray commercial glass cleaner with
ammonia on the door and glass gasket as it may dissolve the gasket glue.
Glass Replacement:
and the gasket should be replaced. The replacement glass and gasket
are available from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer. The glass is
neo­ceramic and alternative types must not be used. To install the new
glass and gasket: Remove the old glass and gasket. The glass is held
in place by two metal tabs located on the sides of the glass door frame.
Using a flat­bladed screwdriver or pliers, bend the tabs up to release the
old glass from the frame. Should the old glass be broken, care should be
used in removing and discarding the glass so as not to injure yourself.
Install the new glass and gasket by positioning the frame with the bent
lips up and set the glass on the frame (the glass is square so there is no
top or bottom). Slide the glass so the gasket is down against the 1/8"
lip. Using pliers, bend the metal tabs firmly down onto the gasket on the
glass. The tabs must be bent into the gasket to ensure a tight seal of the
glass to the stove. Install the glass frame on the stove. See instructions
on this page for removing and replacing the glass door. Replacement
of the glass and gasket should be done by a qualified service technician.
