in this manual.

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. Changing the orifice should only be done by a quali-
fied service technician. Contact your Lennox Hearth Products dealer for
proper orifice sizes.
ORIFICE SIZE/ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT Fireplace Requirements
These heaters are designed to be installed into an existing masonry
fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards) or factory built solid
fuel, wood burning fireplace (listed to UL 127 or ULC S610) only. All
exhaust gases must be vented outside the structure. Combustion air
is drawn from outside the structure. When installing in a factory built
fireplace, the fireplace grate must be removed and the damper must be
removed or secured open.
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
themarkingsuppliedwiththegasfireplaceinsert to the insideof the firebox
of the fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.
IMPORTANT: When installing these appliances into a factory
built fireplace or heat-form, the air flow within and around the
fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert
(i.e. DO NOT BLOCK louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports,
circulating air chambers in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat
circulator).
THE RAVENNA™ FIREPLACE
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we
recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke
detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of
occasional false activation from the heat produced by the appliance). If
your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same
room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your area.
