3.Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME.
4.For ease of accessibility, an optional remote wall switch may be installed in a convenient location. Route a 2 strand, solid core millivolt 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 |
14gauge | 100 feet |
16gauge | 60 feet |
18gauge | 40 feet |
Attach the two leads to terminals 1 and 3 located on the gas valve.
FIGURE 3
This fireplace 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 fireplace be installed in a “sheltered” area. Direct wind will cause an erratic flame and possible pilot or main burner outage.
An erratic flame could also lead to excessive carboning (black soot), this condition is not a safety issue but is visu- ally 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.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
Do not connect either the wall switch, thermostat or gas valve to electricity (110 volts).
Sides, back, bottom & top | 0 inches |
Recessed | 13¾ inches |
Top of unit to ceiling | 48” |
It is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be finished. This would ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
*If installing a propane fireplace the propane cylinder must always be on the exterior of such a structure.
