INSTALLATION
Minimum Clearance to Combustibles construction from
fi replace and vent surfaces:
Framing 0” to stand-offs
Finishing 0” to back, sides and bottom
Non-combustible fi nishing 4 1/2” to top
Recessed depth 13 1/4“
Enclosure top 39 1/4” from bottom of unit
Clearance to ceiling 84” from bottom of unit.
It is recommended that the walls of the fi replace enclosure be
fi nished. This would ensure that clearance to combustibles is main-
tained within the cavity.
COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
NOTE: All gas connections must be contained within the fi re-
place when complete.
1. Move the fi replace into position and secure to the fl oor through
the 1/4" holes located at either side of the base.
2. The fi replace is designed to accept 3/8" gas supply line. The
fi replace is equipped with a 3/8" manual shut-off valve.
3. Connect the gas supply in accordance to local codes. In the ab-
sence thereof, install according to the National Installation Code.
4. When fl exing any gas line, support the gas valve so that the
lines are not bent or kinked.
5. Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solu-
tion.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.
Purge all gas lines with the glass door of the stove removed.
Assure that a continuous gas fl ow is at the burner before re-
installing the door.
GAS INSTALLATION
* If installing a propane fi replace the propane cylinder must
always be on the exterior of such a structure.
OPTIONAL WALL SWITCH
INSTALLATION
For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may be
installed in a convenient location. Route 2-strand (solid core) mil-
livolt wire through the electrical hole located at the bottom left side
of the unit. The recommended maximum lead length depends on
wire size:
WIRE SIZE MAX. LENGTH
14 gauge 100 feet
16 gauge 60 feet
18 gauge 40 feet
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the gas valve.
This fi replace is intended for installation on an outdoor patio or in
your yard. It must never be installed inside the warm air envelope
of your structure.
It is highly recommended that this fi replace be installed in a “shel-
tered” area. Direct wind will cause an erratic fl ame and possible pilot
or main burner outage.
An erratic fl ame could also lead to excessive carboning (black soot),
this condition is not a safety issue but is visually undesirable.
Typical installation may include covered patio, screened porch,
gazebo or an outside the wall of a house.*
NOTE: Ensure the area has adequate ventilation.
