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 spring-loaded “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

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

Glass Door Cleaning And Maintenance
Cleaning: When cooled, 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 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: Should the glass be damaged, both the glass
and the gasket should be replaced. The replacement glass and gasket
are available from your Lennox Hearth Products dealer. The glass is neo-
ceramic 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
flat-bladed 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.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPRAY COMMERCIAL GLASS
CLEANER WITH AMMONIA ON GASKET AREA OF DOOR. AM-
MONIA WILL DISSOLVE GASKET GLUE.
NOTE: GOLD PLATED SURFACE MUST BE CLEANED WITH GLASS
CLEANER AND SOFT RAG BEFORE FIRING THE FIRST TIME OR
FINGER PRINTS AND STAINS WILL REMAIN PERMANENTLY.
NEVER USE BRASS POLISH TO CLEAN GOLD, THIS WILL RE-
MOVE GOLD PLATING!
