Preparing a Good Foundation

for Your Spa Wrap
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by
children under the age of ve. Your dealer can provide
information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your equipment.
The following are some of the things that you will need to consider when determining the placement of your new spa wrap.
Consider How You Will Use Your Spa Wrap
How you intend to use your spa wrap will help you determine where you should position it. For example, will you use your spa wrap for recreational purposes? If your spa wrap is mainly used for family functions, be sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity.
Consider Your Privacy
In a cold weather climate, bare trees won’t provide much privacy. Think of your spa wraps surroundings during all seasons to determine your best privacy options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well, when you plan the location of your spa wrap.
Your spa wrap needs a solid and level foundation. The
area that it sits on must be able to support the weight of the spa wrap and the occupants who use it. If the foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the spa wrap is in place, causing stress that could
DAMAGE YOUR SPA WRAP.
Place the spa wrap on an elevated foundation (preferably a 3” concrete slab). Be sure that the concrete slab is at least 12” wider than the outside dimension on the spa wrap.
If you are installing a spa on an elevated wood deck or other structure, we strongly recommend that you consult a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure will support the weight of 150 Lbs./ sq. ft.
It is strongly recommended that a qualied,
licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.

Provide A View With Your Spa Wrap
Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting in your spa wrap. Do you have a special landscaped
area in your yard that you nd enjoyable? Perhaps
there is an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day and lovely sunset in the evening. Consider these things when you plan your location.
2009 Spa Wraps
LTR20091032, Rev. A
NOTE: For all spa wraps, regardless of model, it is recommended that the foundation extend beyond the dimension of the spa wrap. For example, if the spa wrap you purchased is 12’x12’, you will want your foundation to be 14’x14’. The reason for this is because it will be easier to maintain the area around the spa wrap (mowing the lawn, edging, etc.) without damaging or scarring the spa wrap. Also, in doing this, you will eliminate any potential problems, foundation­wise, in the future.

Spa Wrap Assembly

Spa Wrap Assembly
The following will tell you how to assemble your spa wrap. If you have any questions, problems with material and/or parts, please contact your local retailer.
NOTE: It is strongly advised that you have a licensed professional install the foundation for your new spa wrap. It is imperative that the foundation is level, as any damage that occurs due to an uneven foundation is not covered by the warranty.
If you are having a new spa delivered, we recommend that you determine, prior to its delivery, where your spa will be placed. For example: if you are going to center your spa on the concrete slab, take measurements
that will enable you to determine where the edges of the spa will be located. When done, mark the corner
locations. Upon delivery of your new Cal Spa, notify
the installation crew that you have determined where you want the spa located.
After the spa has been installed and is operating, the assembly of the your new spa wrap may begin.
Important: This spa wrap is a free-standing unit. As with any structure, it is critical that all the main support surface be level. If the main support surface is not level, then the entire spa and spa wrap will be misaligned.

Tools and Materials

Utility knife 25’ tape measure Cordless drill 100’ extension cord Electric drill Phillips-head drill tips 1/8” pilot hole drill bit 9/16” socket Slotted-head drill tips Sandpaper (various grades) Redwood stain Wood putty Gray wash stain Rags 1/2” ratchet and impact drill 1/2” carbide drill bit (masonry bit)

Assembly

After your Spa is professionally installed, clear the surrounding area for the installation of your spa wrap. If your spa is already in place and not a new unit, make sure the area surrounding your spa is suitable for a spa wrap
install. The area (slab or deck area) should be level so the spa wrap ts correctly with the spa unit.
Carefully unpack the components and make sure your new spa wrap parts are arranged properly. Place each of the four spa wrap sections around the spa as shown in the exploded views (see Figure 1).
Use Figure 2 for assembly of the SW-400, including electrical assembly.
If your unit has a re place, see the instructions in the chapter “Planning for and Using Your Spa Wrap Fireplace
(Model SW-100)”.

Seam and Joint Finishing

After you have unpacked all of the pieces and have put them in place around your spa, you may wish to apply
grout and stucco to the seams to give your spa wrap a more “nished” appearance.
Note: When access is needed inside your spa, the seams will need to be split. When work inside the spa is
nished, the seams will need to be renished, so plan accordingly.
Prepare and ll the gap or seam line with speed set.1. Using your ngertips, push and atten out the speed set into the seam line.2.

Installing Your Spa Wrap Fireplace

Safe and satisfactory operation of your new replace spa wrap depends upon its proper installation. Installation, adjustments and service must be performed by L.M.S. qualied installers and service technicians to ensure
proper operation and prevent accidents.

LP Gas Requirements

Check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the replace is
manufactured for.
IMPORTANT WARNING: All Cal Flame s and replaces are manufactured with the highest regard to safety. For this reason, Cal Flame s and replaces are either manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG) and cannot be converted. To verify the replace’s operating fuel, remove the bottom drip pan and
check serial number label on the left. Either LP or NG will be marked on the operating tab, indicating the proper
operating fuel. Attempting to convert a Cal Flame replace from one fuel to another may result in serious injury
and void the warranty coverage.
If you do not have an updated ller valve on your existing propane tank, you will need to purchase one at your local hardware store, as you will not be allowed to rell the tank at any lling station.
LP Gas Hook Up: An enclosure for an LP gas cylinder shall be vented by openings at the level of the cylinder
valve and at oor level. The effectiveness of the opening(s) for purposes of ventilation shall be determined with
the LP-gas supply cylinder in place. This shall be accomplished in one of the following manners:
7
Installing Your Spa Wrap Fireplace
One side of the enclosure shall be completely open. Enclosures that have four sides, complete with a top and bottom:
At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the sidewall, equally sized,
spaced at 180˚ (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less than ” square inch per pound (7.1 cm≈/kg) of stored fuel capacity, and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5 cm≈).
Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at oor level and shall have a total free area of not less than •  square inch per pound (7.1 cm≈/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches (64.5cm≈). If ventilation openings at oor level are in a sidewall, there shall be at least two openings. The bottom of the openings shall be at oor level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127 mm) above the oor. The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180˚ (3.14 rad) and
unobstructed.
Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2 mm)
diameter rod. For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible regulator and set it for LP gas. LP Gas Supply Pressure: Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 14” W.C (3.5 kPa). Minimum
line pressure for propane is 11” W.C. LP Gas Pressure Regulator: The unit must be used with the gas pressure regulator. The regulator will control
and maintain a uniform gas pressure in the manifold. The burner orices have been sized for the gas pressure
delivered by the regulator.
LPG Cylinder Specication: Any LP gas supply cylinder used with this replace must be approximately 12
inches in diameter and 18 inches high. The maximum fuel capacity is 20 lbs. of propane, or 5 gallons. Full cylinder weight should be approximately 38 lbs. (43.7 lbs. nominal water capacity.) Always use the cylinder dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet during transport and when the cylinder is not connected to the replace.
Transporting the LP Gas Supply Cylinder: Only one cylinder should be transported at a time. Transport cylinder in an upright and secure manner with control valve turned off and the dust cap in place.

Natural Gas Requirements

Always check the rating plate to make sure the gas supply you are hooking up to is the gas type the
replace is manufactured for.
IMPORTANT WARNING: All Cal Flame replaces are
manufactured with the highest regard to safety. For
this reason, Cal Flame s and replaces are either
manufactured to operate on liquid propane (LP) or natural gas (NG) and cannot be converted. To verify the operating fuel, remove the bottom drip pan and check serial number label on the left. Either LP or NG will be marked on the operating tab, indicating the proper operating fuel.
Attempting to convert a Cal Flame replace from one fuel to another may result in serious injury and void
the warranty coverage.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the replace to an
unregulated gas supply.
Installing Your Spa Wrap Fireplace
The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z223.1a-1998.

Installing Your Spa Wrap Fireplace

Lighting Your Gas Fireplace

Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In addition, anytime the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or any part of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, conduct a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test
your replace outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while
doing a leak test. Do not use a ame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use only a leak testing solution as specied below.
Prepare a leak testing solution of sudsy water by 1. mixing in a spray bottle half-liquid soap and half water.
Check and make sure all the control knobs are in 2. the OFF position.
Turn cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one 3. turn to open.
Apply leak-testing solution by spraying on joints of 4. the gas delivery system.
Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates 5. that a leak is present.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by 6. replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it should become damaged. The cylinder must be replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas 7. supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder
from the replace. Call an authorized gas appliance
service technician or LP gas dealer. Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
Push in and turn any control knob to release 8. pressure in the hose and manifold.
Turn off the control knob.9.
Read the safety information above before attempting
to light your replace.
This appliance must be lit by hand. When lighting, follow these instructions exactly. Before lighting, smell around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the base of the appliance, because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the ground.
Locate the manual gas control valve, located on 1. the outside of the , two inches from the base of the . (Look for a bright red knob.)
Place a burning match on top of the burner in 2. the middle where ports are present. DO NOT
HOLD THE MATCH IN YOUR HAND. For natural
gas appliances, turn on the ON/OFF valve slowly at the appliance. For LP appliances, turn the valve on the LP tank counterclockwise all the way and

Maintenance and Care

Maintenance and Care

Maintaining Your Fireplace

Inspect the appliance before initial use. Clean the appliance at least annually and have it inspected by
a qualied eld service person.
Tampering with this appliance is DANGEROUS and
voids all warranties. Replace any faulty components only with approved components.
For best operation, the burner ames should be steady, not lifting or oating.
Periodically remove the logs and examine the burner. If the burner is dirty, clean it with a soft wire brush. Also examine the area around the burner air shutter. Remove any dirt or debris in this area. This will ensure long life and trouble-free operation.
Periodically check the hose connecting the LP gas cylinder to ensure it is not damaged in any way.
Carbon (soot) may build up on the surfaces of the logs with heavy use. This is more likely to occur with LP gas. Clean soot off the surface of the logs periodically to prevent excessive buildup.

Cleaning

Your spa wrap was designed with low cleaning and
maintenance in mind. We recommend that the spa wrap be cleaned at least twice a month (or more, if needed). When cleaning your spa wrap, do not use cleaning solvents -- using a sponge and water will
be ne. For ground-in dirt and grime, refer to the
following section. Maintaining your Spa and spa wrap is an easy task.
We recommend that every six months you inspect your Spa unit. Take note of any deformities in the material (i.e. cracking, peeling, dirt, grime, etc).
When cleaning your spa wrap, do not use cleaning
solvents – using a sponge and water will be ne.
