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.
A
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.

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.
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.
Connection directly to an unregulated LP supply can cause an
explosion.
