!When connection a new gas supply cylinder, be sure to tighten all connections and leak test
the connections with a soapy water solution.
Figure!1
LP!GAS!CYLINDER!CONNECTION!

Page 9
How to Leak Test Your Appliance
!Mix a solution of liquid soap and water in a small container. 50% soap and 50% water.
!Make sure that the gas supply is turned on. For LP gas appliances make sure that the valve on
the gas cylinder is turned on.
!Ensure that the gas control valve on the appliance is in the “OFF” position.
!Use a spray bottle or a small brush and liberally apply the solution to the gas line and to each
connection.
!If bubbles form this means that there is a leak is present.
!Tighten any connections that may be loose and leak test again.
!If no more leaks are found use the appliance.
!If leaks persist and cannot be stopped turn off the gas supply and contact your distributor or local
gas service technician for assistance.
!To check for leaks on the hose, soak cloth with soap and water solution. Rub gas line hose
from end to end. If bubbles appear, identify leak and replace hose before next use.
!WARNING: Do not use an open flame to test for gas leaks.

INSTALLATION & SAFETY NOTES
Read all instructions before starting installation and follow them carefully during installation to ensure
maximum benefit and safety. Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty and may
present a fire hazard. See the warranty at the back of this manual for disclaimers regarding improper
installation. This outdoor fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in
accordance with this installation manual.
UNPACKING
Please check the appliance carefully for any damaged or missing components. Report any problems
to your dealer within 30 days of purchase.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
The minimum clearance to combustibles for the sides is 18” and the top is 72”.
This outdoor fireplace is suitable for installation on a combustible surface.
Clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas
supplier.

Page 11
INITIAL FIRING
When lit for the first time, the appliance may emit an odor resulting from evaporation of paint and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. This is normal and will subside after the unit has run
for an hour or so.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
The manifold pressure regulator controls gas input and flame height, and is pre-adjusted at the
factory. No further adjustment is required.
PRIMARY AIR ADJUSTMENT
Aeration is factory set but may need adjustment for altitude or movement during shipping. The
adjustment for the air shutter is found on the mixing tube which is located underneath your appliance.
Loosen the screw which holds the aeration adjustment shutter in place and rotate the adjustment
shutter to increase or decrease primary air and tighten the screw. Increasing the primary air will cause
the flame to appear more transparent and blue. Decreasing the primary air will cause the flames to
appear more yellow or orange. Evaluate the aeration only after the unit has warmed up
approximately 15 minutes. If the unit shows signs of carbon build up increasing the primary air
should alleviate this problem.
Caution: Parts requiring adjustment during operation may be hot.
NOTE: WHEN RUNNING NATURAL GAS – The primary air shutter should be adjusted to the
lowest setting (decrease primary air) to get a more yellow natural flame.
Aeration adjustment is important for the correct functioning of the appliance. Carbon build up, flame
lifting or any malfunction due to improper aeration adjustment during installation is not covered under
the factory warranty.
