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
flame and possible pilot or main burner outage.
An erratic flame 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 on an outside wall of a house.
* If installing a propane appliance the propane cylinder must always be on the exterior of such a
structure.
NOTE: Ensure the area has adequate ventilation.

7.0 OPERATION
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit an odor for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition
caused by the “burn-in” of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
A
fter extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance
may emit a slight odor for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In
both cases, sufficiently ventilate the area.
FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING:
A. This appliance is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.
B. Before operating smell all around the appliance area for gas and next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, do not
try to repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
D. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician
to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been

This appliance has an air shutter that has been factory set open according
to the chart below:
Regardless of venturi orientation, closing the air shutter will cause a more
yellow flame, but can lead to carboning. Opening the air shutter will cause a
more blue flame, but can cause flame lifting from the burner ports. The
flame may not appear yellow immediately; allow 15 to 30 minutes for the
final flame colour to be established.
AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT MUST ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED
INSTALLER!

81.1
Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and sulfides, particularly in coastal areas
and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs. These
stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevention and
removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often as required with fresh water and/or
stainless steel cleaner.
CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE:
Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on the stainless steel parts. Doing so will scratch the finish. Sur-
faces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is still warm to the touch. To clean stainless
surfaces, use a stainless steel or non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time,
stainless steel parts discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discolouration is normal
and does not affect the performance of the appliance.
9.0 MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper
and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing. This appliance and its venting system
should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified service person. The appliance area must
be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids. The flow of
combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
1. In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, remove the logs, rocks and/or glass to
expose both assemblies.
2. Keep the control compartment, media, burner, air shutter opening and the area surrounding the logs
clean by vacuuming or brushing, at least once a year.
3. Check to see that all burner ports are burning. Clean out any of the ports which may not be burning or
are not burning properly.
4. Check to see that the pilot flame is large enough to engulf the flame sensor and/or thermocouple /
thermopile as well as reaches the burner.
5. Replace the cleaned logs, rocks or glass. Failure to properly position the media may cause carboning
which can be distributed in the surrounding living area.
6. Check to see that the main burner ignites completely on all openings when turned on. A5 to 10
second total light-up period is satisfactory. If ignition takes longer, consult your local authorized dealer /
distributor. 40.16
