INSTALLATION
The log set and the burner assembly are shipped together. Remove the gas log set and burner assembly and check for damage. DO NOT install damaged components. The logs are fragile use care when handling.
Place the Patiofl ame on a level/secure surface in desired location. This location must be adjacent to the gas supply line or cylinder.
NOTE: Minimum clearances to combustible construction must be maintained. ( See Page 5)
You must have clear and easy access to the on/off valve AFTER the appliance is installed and connected to the gas supply in order to safely turn off the burner.
THE ON/OFF GAS VALVE IS USED TO TURN THE
BURNER ON AND OFF.
NATURAL GAS
Connect the incoming gas supply line to the on/off gas valve of the appliance. Make certain ALL gas connections are tight, turn the on/off valve at the unit slowly to the on position and use soap water to test for leaks.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
LP GAS
1.Attach tank retaining bracket supplied to the base of the cylinder. Then secure to the surface to which it sits. Cylinder should be on a level surface.
2.Make sure tank valve is in its full off position. (Turn clock- wise to stop).
3.Check tank valve features to ensure it has proper external mating threads. (Tank Valve Marked: USE WITH TYPE 1)
4.Inspect hose shipped with the unit for damage. Never at- tempt to use damaged or plugged equipment. See your local LP Gas Dealer for repairs.
5.After inspecting the LP hose shipped with the unit, connect the end with the female fitting on the hose to the male fitting on the on/off gas valve at the end of the fl ex tube. Tighten fittings using 2 wrenches.
6.When connecting regulator assembly to the tank valve, hand tighten black QCC1 nut clockwise to a positive stop. DO NOT use a wrench to tighten. Use of a wrench may dam- age the quick closing coupling nut and result in a hazardous condition.
7.Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be subject to acci- dental damage.
8.Open tank valve fully
ENCLOSURES FOR LP GAS SUPPLY
SYSTEMS
If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these recommended specifications. You must also follow local codes.
Enclosures for LP gas supply cylinders shall be ventilated by openings at the level of the cylinder valve and at fl oor level. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for purposes of ventila- tion shall be determined with the LP gas supply cylinder(s) in place. This shall be accomplished by one of the following:
1.One side of the enclosure shall be completely open;
or
2.For an enclosure having four sides, a top and bottom:
a)At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the side wall, equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less than ½ square inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 sq. cm).
b)Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at fl oor level and shall have a total free area of not less than ½ inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 sq. cm). If ventilation openings at floor level are in a side wall, there shall be at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at fl oor level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127mm) above the fl oor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 rad) and unobstructed.
c)Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) diameter rod.
3. Cylinder valves shall be readily accessible for hand opera- tion. A door on the enclosure to gain access to the cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is
4. There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (50.8mm) between the lower surface of the fl oor of the LP gas supply cylinder enclosure and the ground.
5. The design of the enclosure shall be such that (1) the LP gas supply cylinder(s) can be connected, disconnected and the connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure; and (2) those connections which could be disturbed when installing the cylinder(s) in the enclosure can be leak tested inside the enclosure.
6. Be certain to mount or set the LP gas cylinder on a fl at surface and restrain it to prevent it from tipping.
Purge the gas supply line of any trapped air prior to the first firing of the unit.
WARNING: During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, NEVER allow gas valve to remain in the "Open" position without first placing and igniting the firestarter.
