KEY INSTALLATION POINTS

•  The installer 

MUST

 record the serial number and venting configuration to use for any technical issues that 

may arise.

•  An approved 120V AC wall receptacle is required. The receiver 

MUST

 be powered by the AC adapter. (4) AA 

batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical requirement during power outage.

•  When installing the fire media make sure to 

NEVER

 mix different types of media or use media purchased 

from another retailer. 

ALWAYS

 keep the second thermocouple AND pilot free from media.

•  The convection air outlets 

MUST

 be installed 

BEFORE

 the first light. The amount of square inches needed 

for the opening varies from model to model.

•  ONLY

 a tested and approved non-combustible wallboard that is specified in the manual may be used when 

enclosing the fireplace.

•  The venting 

MUST

 follow the model specific graph shown in the manual. A restrictor may or may not need 

to be used based on venting run and rise.

•  REMEMBER

 that if the fireplace is installed before the site is finished, construction debris 

MUST

 be cleaned 

from the enclosure and around the unit prior to finishing and the test fire.

•  Gas pressures 

MUST

 be read with a manometer and confirmed with what is required in the installation manual.

•  A 1/8”/3 mm gap between the flange and the enclosing wallboard 

MUST

 be maintained to prevent cracking 

from heat expansion and contraction.
