This appliance is intended for installation on an outdoor patio or in your yard. It must never be installed inside

the warm air envelope of your structure.

It is highly recommended that this appliance be installed in a “sheltered” area. Direct wind will cause an erratic

ﬂ ame and possible pilot or main burner outage.

An erratic ﬂ ame could also lead to excessive carboning (black soot), this condition is not a safety issue but is

visually undesirable.

Typical installation may include covered patio, screened porch, gazebo or on an outside wall of a house.

* If installing a propane appliance the propane cylinder must always be on the exterior of such a

structure.

NOTE: Ensure the area has adequate ventilation.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE!

IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING

IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE WALLS OF THE

APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE BE “FINISHED” (IE: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD FINISH

ANY OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO

COMBUSTIBLES IS MAINTAINED WITHIN THE CAVITY.

DO NOT NOTCH THE FRAMING AROUND THE APPLIANCE STAND-OFFS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN

AIR SPACE CLEARANCE MAY CAUSE OVER HEATING AND FIRE. PREVENT CONTACT WITH

SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION OR FRAMING AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. BLOCK

OPENING INTO THE CHASE TO PREVENT ENTRY OF BLOWN-IN INSULATION. MAKE SURE

INSULATION AND OTHER MATERIALS ARE SECURED.

WHEN CONSTRUCTING THE ENCLOSURE ALLOW FOR FINISHING MATERIAL THICKNESS TO

MAINTAIN CLEARANCES. FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS

LISTED MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. MATERIALS

CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF STEEL, IRON, BRICK, TILE, CONCRETE, SLATE, GLASS OR PLASTERS,

OR ANY COMBINATION THEREOF ARE SUITABLE. MATERIALS THAT ARE REPORTED AS PASSING

ASTM E 136, STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS IN A VERTICAL TUBE

FURNACE AT 750°C AND UL763 SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD

COULD RESULT.

THE APPLIANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM ENCLOSURE HEIGHT. MEASURE FROM THE APPLIANCE

BASE.

IF STEEL STUD FRAMING KITS WITH CEMENT BOARD ARE PROVIDED, THEY MUST BE

INSTALLED.
