ASSEMBLY OUTLINE

Before You Start

Check your inventory list to be sure you have

all the necessary parts supplied in good usable

condition. Check also for any concealed damage.

LOCATION OF FIREPLACE

Carefully select the proper location for any

obstructions, clearance to side wall(s), air

availability, location and aesthetics. With proper

pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches

can save considerable time and expense later

during construction and assembly. See Figure

2 for some examples.

When choosing a location, care must be taken

to avoid places where flooding or running water

may be a problem.

Identify the desired location for the battery

pack/ON/OFF switch junction box location. This

should be easily accessible and convenient for

use and high enough on the wall to be protected

from water and drifted snow.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a qualified ser-

vice technician to inspect the appliance and to

replace any part of the control system and any

gas control that has been under water.

Ne pas se servir de cet appareil s'il a été plongé

dans l'eau, complètement ou en partie. Appeler

un technicien qualifié pour inspecter l'appareil et

remplacer toute partie du système de contrôle et

toute commande qui ont été plongés dans l'leau.

If it is evident that the burner is damaged, the

burner must be replaced with one specified by

the manufacturer before the appliance is put

into operation.

Carefully consider the position of the fireplace

opening with respect to the location of adjacent

or nearby stairwells, doors, windows, walkways

and over hanging trees, patios and wires.

When locating the fireplace, consideration must

be given to combustibles and final finishing.

See Figure 18 and confine the final location of

combustible finish materials to the "Safe Zone".

Also refer to Clearance Specifications on Page 6.

Consider the effects of heat when locating any

object in front of or near the fireplace opening.

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

The fireplace may be installed directly on a

combustible floor or raised on a platform of an

appropriate height. Do not place the fireplace

on vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It may,

however, be placed on flat wood, plywood,

particle board or other hard surfaces.

Position the electrical junction box as detailed

in LOCATION OF FIREPLACE. (The umbilical

cord is 9 feet long).

Be sure the fireplace rests on a solid continu-

PATIO

ous floor or platform with appropriate framing

for support.

The fireplace may be positioned and then the

framing built around it, or the framing may be

constructed and the fireplace positioned into

the opening.

Usually, no special floor support is needed for

the fireplace, however, to be certain:

1. Estimate the total weight of the fireplace sys-

tem including surround materials such as brick,

stone, etc., to be installed. Shipping weights for

the fireplace may be found on Page 8.

2. Measure the square footage of the floor space

to be occupied by the system, surrounds and

hearth extensions.

3. Note the decking construction, i.e. 2 x 6's,

2 x 8's or 2 x 10's, single or double joists, type

and thickness of floor boards.

4. Use this information and consult your local

building code to determine if you need ad-

ditional support.

If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth

extension, build the platform assembly then

position fireplace and hearth extension on

top. Secure the platform to the floor to prevent

possible shifting.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

ASSEMBLY STEPS

NOTE: The following steps represent the normal

sequence of installation. Each installation is

unique, however, and might require a different

sequence.

1. Position firebox prior to framing or into

prepared framing (non-combustible framing

is recommended).

2. Position the electrical junction box as detailed

in LOCATION OF FIREPLACE.

(The umbilical cord is 9 feet long).

3. Waterproof the fireplace or install the optional

drip pan (see Waterproofing The Fireplace and

Figure 3 on Page 5).

4. Plumb gas line. (Gas connections should

only be performed by an experienced, licensed/

certified tradesman.)

5. Complete the installation, finish wall mate-

rial, surround and hearth extension to your

individual taste.

6. Assemble and attach optional accessories.

Study the three dimensional illustration (Fig-

ure 1) to get a general idea of each element

of your fireplace system.

WATERPROOFING THE FIREPLACE

Although the fireplace is designed to operate

safely outdoors, rain may enter the hearth area,

condensation and can cause water to collect

inside the fireplace bottom.

To prevent water collection, the builder must

provide a means to drain water from under

the fireplace by building or installing a water

collector of the builders choice, before posi-

tioning the fireplace in its location.

Special care must be taken when the fireplace is

installed against an exterior wall. The enclosure

surrounding the fireplace on the sides and back

must be treated as an exterior wall.

Innovative Hearth Products (IHP) provides an

optional drain pan to assist weatherproofing

the fireplace.
