In planning the installation for the replace, it is necessary to
determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional
accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned
at this time.
The replace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A at hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of non-combustible material.
3. Four (4) corners of the replace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.)
If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood ooring, it should be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
unit.
At this point, you should have decided what components to include
in your installation, and where the replace is to be located. If this
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with this planning.
This replace is intended for installation on an outdoor patio or
in your yard. This replace shall be used only outdoors in a well
ventilated space and shall NOT be used in a building, garage, or
other enclosed area.
It is recommended that this replace be installed in a “sheltered”
area. Direct wind will cause an erratic ame and possible pilot or
main burner outage. This erratic ame could also lead to excessive
black soot. These issues are nuisance issues rather than a safety
issues.
Typical installation may include covered patio, screened porch,
gazebo or an outside wall of a house.
• Minimum porch area – 96 square feet
• Minimum ceiling height – 82 inches
Minimum of two walls to be open or screened to the following
guidelines.
• Minimum screen area – 64 square feet
• Minimum top of screen height (side walls) – 70 inches
Installing the Hood
A stainless steel hood is furnished with each outdoor replace. The
hood MUST be installed before the replace is used. Failure to do
so may create a possible re hazard.
Finishing
Hearth extensions are recommended, not a requirement for these
gas replaces.

Cleaning Instructions
This appliance is built using mostly high-grade stainless steel to
resist rust-through. In outdoor applications, all stainless steel will
develop a dull patina and, depending on the local environment
and on the materials used in the installation, may develop some
surface oxidation (rust). This does not affect the performance of
the replace, and does not require any action to correct. If you
prefer keeping your replace front looking factory-fresh, clean it as
required with stainless steel cleaner.
When installation application includes highly acidic applications
such as mortar or stone etching, do not remove the protective PVC
lm from the stainless steel until after this application is complete.
Once the lm has been removed we recommend that the appli-
ance be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner immediately.
Please note that areas where the lm has been formed (corners,
hems, etc.) may require extra cleaning due to the properties of
the lm. Ensure that all protective lm has been removed from the
replace prior to burning the appliance.
