Finishing

All joints (top, bottom and sides), where the wall or decorative 

facing material meets the fireplace surround should be sealed 

with a 300°F minimum sealant material. 

NOTICE: 

When installation application includes highly acidic 

materials such as acid wash or stone etching, protect fireplace 

finish with plastic stretch film. Once the film has been removed 

clean appliance immediately with a stainless steel cleaner.
Please note that areas where the film has been formed (corners, 

hems, etc.) may require extra cleaning to remove film residue. 

Ensure that all protective film has been removed from the 

fireplace prior to burning. 

Cleaning Instructions at Installation

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. This does not affect the performance of the 

fireplace, and does not require any corrective action. If you prefer 

keeping your fireplace front looking factory-fresh, clean it with 

stainless steel cleaner.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the Hood 

Failure to install the furnished hood (or optional extension hood) 

before the fireplace is used may create a fire hazard. 
1.  Loosen the two screws (A) holding fireplace top to face panel, 

then slide the hood flange between the fireplace top and face 

panel and re-tighten the screws. 

See Figure 17.

2.  Install one screw at each end of the hood as shown (B). 

See 

Figure 17.

GAS LINE CONNECTION

The gas line must be installed by a qualified service person 

in accordance with all building codes. The Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts requires that a flexible appliance connector 

cannot exceed 3 feet.
A flex-line and shut-off valve have been provided. 

The gas shut-

off valve must be located outside of the unit in an accessible 

area.

Check the rating plate on the fireplace (on a chain by the gas 

valve) to ensure it shows the correct gas type. If the gas listed on 

the rating plate does not match the gas supply to the home, do 

not connect the fireplace. Contact your dealer for proper model.

Use an external regulator for all LP fireplaces to reduce the 

supply tank pressure to a maximum of 13 inches w.c. This is in 

addition to the regulator fitted to the fireplace.

 

WARNING

Connection directly to an unregulated LP supply can cause an 

explosion.
