Moisture Resistance

This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of wa-
ter, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water
vapor may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Mois-
ture penetration must be considered for construction that
places the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture sen-
sitive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Outdoor Lifestyles rec-
ommends the fireplace chase be constructed outside the
structure's weather envelope. Where the platform meets
the wall, use a flashing detail similar to that required
for attached decks. Chase platforms, including hearths
should slope away from the structure at 1/4 in per foot.
The fireplace can be shimmed level.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect or
cause damage: Outdoor Lifestyles recommends a slope
of 1/8 in to 1/4 in per foot towards the drain port suggest-
ed. The fireplace can be shimmed level.

Hearths should slope away from the front of the fireplace
and chase at 1/8 in to 1/4 in per foot. Metal safety strips
must be on top of any combustible hearth materials used
for moisture management.
Framing and Finishing
Check appliance to make sure it is levelled
and properly positioned.
The appliance should only be mounted on the following
surfaces:
A flat combustible (burnable) surface.
A raised wooden platform.
A concrete block or other solid object placed beneath
each of the four corners of the appliance.
To mount the appliance:
1. Choose unit location.
2. Four (4) nailing flanges are supplied with the fireplace
(found on the fireplace hearth). To level the box and
secure it firmly in place, remove the nailing flanges
from the hearth and install at the sides of the fireplace
as shown in Figure 4.
Fig. 4 Adjustable drywall strip (nailing flange).
Finishing
CAUTION: All joints between the finished wall
and the appliance surround (top and sides)
may be sealed only with non-combustible
material. Only noncombustible material can
be applied as facing to the appliance surround
(the black painted face).
Finish the wall with the material of your choice. Refer to
Figures 3a and 3b for specific clearances when installing
a combustible mantel or other combustible projection.
