posite decking or combustible surfaces other than wood.
• When installed on wood, a 16” noncombustible hearth
extension in front of the appliance is recommended.
See Figure 3.3.
NOTICE: Illustrations reflect typical installations and are for
DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams are not
drawn to scale. Actual installation may vary due to individual
design preference.
B. Stand-Alone Installation
This fireplace may be installed as a stand-alone unit.
• Tape and seal all joints and corners.
• Provide proper flashing and moisture management if
installed on surfaces that may rot or otherwise be damaged
by water. (See also sections 3.C. and 3.D.)
When the stand-alone surround is constructed completely
of noncombustible materials, stand-offs may be removed to
permit a smaller structure.
• Air space clearances are not required for stand-alone
construction with noncombustible materials.
C. Built-in Installation
When this fireplace is installed into a wall, we recommend
that the wall be an exterior wall system.
• See framing measurements in Figure 3.1.
• You must maintain 1 1/2 in. (38 mm) airspace at the sides
and back of the fireplace.
• Header must be placed a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm) above
the top of the fireplace.
• Noncombustible wall sheathing material is required the
first 36 in. above the top of the firebox opening.
- Remove the existing top front (cement board) and
replace with 36 x 45 1/2 in. (minimum) cement board.
Allow overlap on the framing studs. See Figure 3.1.
• The control box MUST be relocated to be easily accessible.
See Section 5.D.
• Flash the perimeter of the fireplace, corners and the
fireplace face in a manner consistent with regional
practices as required to prevent water penetration around
the fireplace or manage water that may penetrate the
fireplace. See Section 3.D. and Figure 3.1 (CARODG36)
and 3.2 (CARODG42) for more information regarding wall
and enclosure construction.
D. Moisture Resistance
This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of wa-
ter, but is not waterproof. This appliance must be enclosed
or covered with noncombustible finish material and all joints
sealed to prevent water infiltration.
The fireplace fire box will not perform as an exterior wall.
Moisture penetration must be considered for construction
that places the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture
sensitive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Tech-
nologies recommends that the fireplace chase be con-
structed 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, includ-
ing hearths should slope away from the structure at 1/8 in.
to 1/4 in. per foot. The fireplace can be shimmed level.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specified air space
clearances to appliance:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.
• The chase/enclosure must be properly blocked to prevent
blown insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fireplace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fire.
NOTICE: Soot may accumulate on the area above the firebox
opening and may require periodic cleaning.

B. Control Module Operation
1. The control module has an ON/OFF/REMOTE selector
switch that must be set. See Figure 6.1 and 6.2.
OFF Position: Appliance will ignore all power inputs and
will not respond to any commands from a wall switch or
remote. The unit should be in the OFF position during
installation, service, battery installation, fuel conversion,
and in the event that the control goes into LOCK-OUT
mode as a result of an error code. The external control
switch must be in the OFF position also.
ON Position: Appliance will ignite and run continuously
in the HI flame setting, with no adjustment in flame
output. This mode of operation is primarily used for
initial installation or power outage operation with battery
backup. The external control switch must be in the ON
position also.
REMOTE Position: Appliance will initiate commands from
an optional wired wall switch and/or one of the optional
wireless remote options. The external control switch
must be in the ON position also.
2. With the module in REMOTE mode, the flame output
can be adjusted with the HI/LO selector switch on the
module. See Figure 6.2. Note that the control module will
always ignite the fireplace on HI and remain so for the
initial 10 seconds of operation. If the HI/LO is switched to
the LO position, the flame output will automatically drop
to the lowest setting after the flame has been established
for 10 seconds. After this 10-second period, the flame
can be adjusted from HI to LO with the switch.
3. The control module has a safety feature that automatically
shuts down the fireplace after nine hours of continuous
operation without receiving a command from the wall
switch or optional remote.
4. The module has the capability to recognize potential
malfunctions. If these occur, it will fail to ignite and/or
respond to a command to ignite. If it fails to ignite, turn
off the external control switch and wait five seconds
and turn back on. If it fails to light the second time,
see Trouble Shooting guide. In this case, the module
may have gone into LOCK-OUT mode. In this state, it
will emit a RED/GREEN LED error code. To reset the
error code, switch the selector to OFF, and then back to
REMOTE or ON. If the ignition command again fails, the
module will emit an LED error code prior to going back
into LOCK-OUT mode. Contact your dealer for service
if this occurs.
