In  planning  the  installation  for  the  fireplace,  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 fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:

1.  A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.

2.  A raised platform of non-combustible material.

3.  Four (4) corners of the fireplace 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 flooring, 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 fireplace is to be located. If this 

has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance 

with this planning.

This  fireplace  is  intended  for  installation  on  an  outdoor  patio  or 

in your yard.  This fireplace 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 fireplace be installed in a “sheltered” 

area.  Direct wind will cause an erratic flame and possible pilot or 

main burner outage.  This erratic flame 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 – 92 inches

 

WARNING

This fireplace is not been tested nor approved to have a television 

or other electrical appliance installed above it.
