FIELD WIRING
CAUTION: LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DIS-
CONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS.
WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND
DANGEROUS OPERATION. VERIFY PROPER
OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.
Refer to Figure 32, Page 24 for the wiring
schematic for these fireplaces. Two brown wires
are for the connection of the switch. These are
labeled SW and SW. A black and red pair are
for connection to the battery pack. These are
labeled (+) and (–). These wires are for low
voltage current.
Wiring diagrams are provided (Figure 32, Page
24) for reference purposes only. This information
is also provided on schematics attached directly
to the appliance on a pullout panel located within
the control compartment.
CONNECTING GAS LINE
Codes require a shut-off valve mounted in the
supply line. Figure 12 illustrates two methods for
connecting the gas supply. The flex-line method
is acceptable in the U.S., however, Canadian
requirements vary depending on locality. Instal-
lation must be in compliance with local codes.
These appliances are equipped with a gas flex
line for use (where permitted) in connecting the
unit to the gas line. A gas flex line is provided to
aid in attaching the outdoor appliance to the gas
supply. The gas flex line can only be used where
local codes permit. See Figure 12 for flex line
description. The flex line is rated for both natural
and propane gas. A manual shut off valve is also
provided with the flex line.
The gas control valve is located under the refrac-
tory cover in front of the burner.
To access the valve, lift out the center refractory
and remove the rain shield (see Figure 13).
The control valves have a 3/8" (10 mm) NPT
thread inlet port.
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate
tools and sealing compounds (ensure propane
resistant compounds are used in propane ap-
plications).
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, using a
gas leak test solution (also referred to as bubble
leak solution). NOTE: Using a soapy water solu-
tion (50% dish soap, 50% water) is an effective
leak test solution but it is not recommended,
because the soap residue that is left on the pies/
fittings can result in corrosion over time. Never
use an open flame to check for leaks.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting in-
structions label in the control compartment
or in the Care and Operation Instructions).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob to the “OFF” position. Either
tighten or refasten the leaking connection and
retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.
