FIREPLACE STAND AND LOCATION

  • The fireplace is for outdoor use only. Always ensure that adequate ventilation is provided.

  • Always maintain proper clearance to combustible materials, i.e., top 2 meters and sides 2-meter minimum.

  • The fireplace must be placed on the firm-level ground.

  • Never operate the fireplace in an explosive atmosphere, like in an area where petrol or other flammable liquids or vapors are stored.

  • This fireplace shall only be used in an above-ground open-air area with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and combustion products are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.

  • This fireplace shall be used only in an outdoor area, not in a building garage or any other enclosed area unless the enclosure meets the requirements outlined in this instruction manual.

  • Any enclosure in which the fireplace is used shall comply with one of the following:

  • An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at the ground level and no overhead cover.

  • Within a partial encloser that includes an overhead cover and no more than two walls.

  • Within a partial encloser that includes overhead and more than two walls, the following shall apply:

  • At least 25% of the total wall area is entirely open, and

  • At least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted.

In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total wall area shall remain open and unrestricted.


DIAGRAMMATICAL REPRESENTATION OF OUTDOOR AREAS

The following figures are diagrammatical representations of outdoor areas as described above. Rectangular areas have been used in these figures – the same principles apply to any other shared areas.

GETTING STARTED

Please read instructions thoroughly before using the appliance.

The gas fireplace will arrive in one box containing the appliance with an installed burner, bottom legs, lava rock fuel beds, doorknob, and LCC27 gas hose and regulator.

Remove the appliance from the packaging. Carefully place it on the floor, keeping it upright for easy assembly.

Extreme care should be taken when handling the heater to ensure the gas pipes, thermocouple lead, gas valve, or burner are not damaged or loosened.

Please note:  ALL heaters have been burning and leak tested before leaving the factory. Although each unit is cleaned, there may be an odd scorch mark around the pilot and main burner gas jets.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

Remove the fireplace body and all of the parts from carton, then follow the below procedures.

STEP 1 - ATTACH DOORKNOB

Attach cabinet screw in the hole in the rear panel with a Phillips head screwdriver.

STEP 2 - ATTACH LEGS

With at least two people carefully, title the appliance onto its side to attach the legs. Using a spanner, attach and tighten.

STEP 3 – ADDING FUEL BED

Note: for this step, you may need a small step ladder or platform to give extra height, as the fuel beds must be installed from the top of the appliance.

STEP 4 – LAVA ROCKS OR GLASS STONES FOR PAN BURNER

This should be done outside.

Cover the burner with either glass or lava rock fuel beds. DO NOT tip the glass or lava rock bag onto the burner, as the bags usually contain some fine dust that could clog the burner jets. It is better to empty the bags into a suitable container and place the glass or rock by hand around the burner. Ensure the area around the pilot light is clear to allow air to reach.

Positioning of Glass or Lava Rock on the Burner – Keep Pilot Area Clear

STEP 5 – ADD TOP PANEL

Using a Phillips head screwdriver, fix the top panel of the fireplace with the supplied screws. This will need to be done with two people.

STEP 6 – INSTALL PROPANE GAS BOTTLE AND CONNECT

Follow the instruction

Feed the gas hose through the separation plate grove, then attach the gas hose to the control section on the left-hand side using a spanner. Connect the gas hose using the LCC27 connection to the gas bottle and hand tighten. 

WARNING!!!

It’s extremely important that you DO NOT route the gas hose under or directly under the burner. Do not allow the hose to touch any part of the burner or heater. The hose should be located so that it is not subjected to undue strain or placed where is could be damaged.
