APPLIANCE LOCATION
•
The Fireplace needs to be installed in a weatherproof enclosure. The Fireplace outdoor kit is made from stainless steel and
is weatherproofed from the front glass only. The Fireplace must be installed in a weatherproof enclosure from the top,
side and bottom.
•
Overhang requirement. Weatherproof overhang in front of fireplace is 1/2 of the height of the overhang measured from
the base of the unit.
•
All the fireplace controls and gas components need to be installed in a weatherproof enclosure.
•
The outdoor kit will tolerate moderate amounts of water on an occasional basis but is not waterproof. The fireplace must
be enclosed in a weatherproof enclosure covered in typical weatherproof material, such as siding/ stucco/stone/tile, etc.
and have a weatherproof structure to shed water that extends horizontally beyond the front and side perimeter of the
fireplace. Water running down vertical surfaces should be directed away from the fireplace using flashings. Measures must
be taken to ensure any accumulated water drains away from the fireplace and structure. When the fireplace is installed on
surfaces where water may collect or cause damage, a suitable drainage pan should be placed under the unit and the water
drained away.
•
Do not use the remote-controlled handset supplied with the appliance. The use of the thermostat on the remote may
result in continued operation of the fireplace.
•
Exposure to outdoor sun - Exposure to outdoor sun light will cause some painted finishes to fade over time. Fading is
unavoidable and not covered under warranty. Minimize fading by installing the fireplace away from direct sunlight.
