COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

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 an outside the wall of a house.*
NOTE: Ensure the area has adequate ventilation.
