OD42 Outdoor Gas Fireplace 9
INSTALLATION
• Never insulate around the body of the unit
• Excessive heat retention in the firebox will lead to component failure
and fireplace malfunction
• Excessive heat retention will also increase the risk of fire inside the
chase
• Heat retention can cause “Oil-canning” and damage the fireplace due
to overheating
• Do not build up a wall of any type in front or to the sides of the appli-
ance, higher than the firebox opening. This will create a pressure zone
at the firebox and will prevent the unit from venting
• This is an outdoor appliance with a built-in drain. This drain should be
installed and connected in all applications as per the instructions in
this manual
• Inadequate drainage will cause rust and reduce the life of your appli-
ance, this is not protected by warranty
• Outdoor units use the same consistent, reliable Electronic components
used in most units
• Installed correctly, these components will be subjected to far lower
temperatures than indoor units, which have been certified as safe from
heat etc
• Working gas pressures are as critical in outdoor products as they are
in indoor products, even more important in Electronic systems
• Unit shutting down intermittently
• Overheating of components leading to failure
• Lifting flame
• Poor flame package (i.e. all to one side, lazy flame)
• Failure to ignite
• Excess carbon
• Safety issues and concerns created from the by products of combus-
tion
• Outdoor appliances must be installed in: open-air situations with natu-
ral ventilation and without stagnant areas
• Any gas leakage and products of combustion need to be rapidly dis-
persed by wind and natural convection
• Typically outdoor spaces are not enclosed, however, failure to adhere
to installation guidelines, may cause the outdoor fireplace to be af-
fected by wind or air pressure inside the enclosure
• ANY enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of
the diagrams on the previous page.
• All walls + overhead cover = 100% total area
• One of four walls or full overhead area must be totally open, plus—one
of remaining walls must have a fixed opening
• All outdoor fireplaces/fire tables require total natural ventilation of 50%
open space
• Correct Working Gas pressure is critical on OD42 units
• Wherever possible avoid locating on a flat wall in a tight corner
• Floor space doesn’t count as “open area”
• Install to the manual specs for framing and do not insulate unit or
enclosure
• Framing enclosure must at least meet minimum dimensional specs as
per the installation manual
• Only approved media should be used in the firebox (i.e. twigs/glass)
• Be aware of pressure zones due to location (i.e. facing the ocean)
• Open walls and doorways to outside air are beneficial to the perfor-
mance of an outdoor appliance
• Fixed roof/ceiling open areas count towards the total open area overall
requirement
• Screens create 40% or more air restriction
• Screened areas are restrictions and reduce open air space, calculate
area based on a closed screen
• The biggest problems are created by lack of airflow for the appliance
• Outdoor fireplaces are often built-in systems and incorrect installation
can result in high repair costs
• Units must not be modified or altered in any way
• There is a common misconception that being outdoors, an Outdoor
Fireplace will function, regardless of circumstances,
• Outdoor fireplaces require the same amount of ventilation as indoor
units, often more
• Outdoor units require adequate ventilation to the atmosphere, which in
turn provides ongoing circulatory combustion air
• This type of Appliance Vents.
• All Outdoor Fireplace Products have the same need for Air/Oxygen,
and an ability to Vent
• Even though the appliance is outdoors, this doesn’t mean it is getting
adequate air
• Read and follow critical location guidelines in this manual
• Don’t overlook the obvious
• Widen your margin for error
• Combustion always requires the same three elements
• Only the quantities and volumes change

INSTALLATION
Although this fireplace is designed to operate outdoors safely, rain and other sources of moisture may enter the hearth area, which will cause water to
collect inside the base of the unit.
To prevent excessive water collection, the installer must provide a way to drain the water from the base of the unit by building or installing a
water collector before positioning the fireplace in its location.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
When planning for the installation of the unit, the framing height must be increased by 3/4", when installing a drain pan. Additional space below the unit will
also be required to plumb a drain line.
1) Remove 4 screws to remove the rear access panel from the back of the unit - this will allow access to the drain hole at the base of the unit.
2) On the exposed drain hole (see location below), install a PVC 3/4" threaded coupling reducer going from the top of the pan, down through the hole.
Apply a silicone-based sealant around the base and threads before installation.
3) Holding the reducer coupling with a wrench, thread a 90 PVC elbow (from the underside of the unit) to the reducer until it is tight to the metal.
Note: To assure proper drainage, that fireplace must be installed on a leveled surface

• Use a hair dryer or similar device to remove the protective coating from the panels.
• Stainless panels will discolor a little during normal operation.
This is normal and should not be considered a defect.
* All hand and fi nger marks MUST be cleaned off with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner. Most stainless steel cleaners leave a fi lm/
residue on the surface of the panels. Use an ammonia based cleaner (ie. glass cleaner) to remove this fi lm before applying heat to the unit.
Failure to do this will result in burn stains on panels which you will be unable to remove. Not protected by product warranty.
1) Install the back panel fi rst - to maneuver the panel into position - tilt
the top of the panel forward and position the bottom of the panel
in fi rst. Use care - do not scratch the panel when clearing the pilot
hood.
2) Install a side panel next (not important which side goes in fi rst).
Position the panel with the bend in the panel facing towards the
outside or wall of the unit. Position side panel and secure with a clip
and one screw.
3) Install other side panel next. Position side panel and secure with a
clip and one screw.
4) Final install - shown below.
