PRE -INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

A. Before installing this unit, check the MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES section to ensure that the surrounding area is

properly sized for the installation.

B. The unit is for outdoor use only. DO NOT install or use this appliance inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area,

including recreational vehicles and/or boats. This unit must be installed in such a manner that the vent opening at the base

of the unit remains clear and free of all obstructions at all times and during all weather conditions.

C. CHECK GAS TYPE ( natural gas or propane): The gas supply you intend to use may not be the same as that stated on the

unit rating plate as purchased. If the gas supply is different, convert the unit to the gas type you intend to use. See the

CONVERTING TO A DIFFERENT GAS TYPE SECTION. If you are unsure, contact the dealer for assistance. ONLY MANUAL

UNITS ARE CONVERTIBLE .

D. FORNATURALGAS: Theminimuminletgas- supplypressureforpurposesofinputadjustmentis 3 . 5 " water column ( w. c. ) , and

the maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 10.5" w.c. FOR PROPANE: The minimum inlet gas-supply pressure for purposes of

input adjustment is 8" w.c., and the maximum inlet gas-supply pressure is 13" w.c. DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IF MINIMUM

PRESSURE IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IF MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS EXCEEDED.

E. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum flow rate(BTU/hr) . Undue pressure loss

will occur if the pipe is too small, or the run is too long.

F. For installations at elevations above 2,000 ft., contact your local dealer or gas supplier before installing. Input ratings should be

reduced approximately 4%for each 1,000 ft. above sea level. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code.

G. The unit and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system during any pressure testing

of that system attest pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa) . This is accomplished by closing the gas - supply line valve.The

unit must be isolated from the gas-supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure

testing of the gas-supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa) .

H. INSTALLER NOTE: This unit should be installed so that it can be removed if service is required.

I. GAS-SUPPLY PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

Apply only joint compounds that are resistant to all gasses on all male pipe fittings. Make sure to tighten every joint securely. Do

not use pipe joint compound to connect flare fittings. Bring the gas-supply pipe up from beneath the enclosure near its center (if

applicable) .

CAUTION: Installation and maintenance must be done by an NFI Certified or other qualified professional installer. Installer, read

these instructions before installing this product. Be sure you understand all safety precautions and warnings contained in this

manual.

Note: An external on/ off valve in the gas line is required for safety when the unit is notinuse. It also provides for convenient

maintenance and repair.

INSTALLATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

A. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before use and at

least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning maybe required as necessary. It is imperative that

control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

B. Carefully inspect for shipping damage.If any parts are damaged, call the dealer.

C. Correct installation and proper placement of the unit and decorative media is crucial to the safe performance of the unit. See

installation instructions for further information.

D. Ensure that the unit is installed in such a manner that the vent opening at the base of the unit remains obstacle-free at all times

and during all weather conditions.

E. Due to high temperatures, the unit must be located out of traffic areas and away from combustibles.
