materials must be supported by the surrounding structure and
not rely on the fireplace itself.
5. Follow the local code requirements for the gas type being

local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54

6. Fireplaces create high temperatures, it is very important to
have any combustibles at a safe distance.
7. Fireplace should never be left unattended while in opera-
tion. It should always be a safe distance from all trees and
combustible landscape materials.
8. The fireplace must be installed on a flat, level, stable, non-
combustible surface.
Exception
: It is permissible to place
one layer of 1/2” cement board underneath the entire fire-
place, then it may sit on a flat, level, stable, combustible
surface. Drainage is critical to ensure that water does not
damage gas valve and components.
Never install the
fireplace system below grade.
9. CAUTION:
A minimum of 18 square inches of cross ventilation
(per side) is required to keep the inside of the enclosure dry.
Install the supplied VENT-KIT-6x12 (cat. no. F3535) approxi-
mately 3 to 4 inches from the floor centered on each end of
the fireplace
(See
Figure 3, Page 5
).
10. Never fill the cavity under and around the valve box with any
material, this is air space necessary for ventilation.
11. Only non-combustible materials (i.e. metal studs and ce-
ment board) should come in direct contact with any part of
the fireplace. Underneath area should be non-combustible or
a flat level combustible surface according to the clearances
specified in this manual. Bend out nailing flanges on ends
of fireplace and secure to metal studs.
12. This fireplace is designed to have glass media covering the
burner trough, so the burner tube is not visible. Use only the
media provided with the appliance or listed in the accessory
section of this manual
(Page 31)
.
DO NOT COVER THE IGNI-
TION HOOD WITH THE GLASS MEDIA.
See
Figures 33 and 34
on

13. Gas lines and fittings must be installed into the non-combus-
tible structure. All gas connections must be leak tested be-
fore installation of the fireplace. Leak detection is required
before regular use of the fireplace.
14. Do not use alternative media that will absorb moisture over
time and will not release this moisture quickly. Moisture
can boil in this media and can rapidly break apart and cause
property damage or personal injury.
15. Never leave any other combustible material on top of the
fireplace. This could cause unsafe operation of this system
and damage to the component that will not be covered under
our warranty.
16. It is recommended to wear gloves when moving the fireplace
into position and watch for sharp edges when handling the
fireplace.
