D. High Altitude Installations
U.L. Listed gas appliances are tested and approved without
requiring changes for elevations from 0 to 2000 feet in the
U.S.A. and Canada.
When installing this appliance at an elevation above 2000 ft,
it may be necessary to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifi ce to a smaller size. Input rate
should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 ft above a 2000 ft
elevation in the U.S.A., or 10% for elevations between 2000
and 4500 ft in Canada. If the heating value of the gas has
been reduced, these rules do not apply. To identify the proper orifi ce size, check with the local gas utility.
If installing this appliance at an elevation above 4500 ft (in
Canada), check with local authorities.
WARNING
Do NOT use this appliance if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service technician
to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
Note: This installation must conform with local codes. In the
absence of local codes you must comply with the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition in the U.S.A.
and the CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes in Canada.

Getting Started
2
A. Design and Installation Considerations
These appliances must be installed outdoors.
The Dakota 42-B Series Outdoor Gas Fireplace is designed
for outdoor use. It may also be installed in screened porches
and lanais that meet these minimum requirements:
• Minimum porch area - 96 square feet
• Minimum ceiling height - 84 in.
A minimum of two walls can be screened but must be open
to outside ventilation.
• Minimum screen area - 64 square feet
• Minimum screen top height - 80 in.
Refer to Section 3.B. for clearances.
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional,
state and national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire
offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction about
restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to
determine the following information before installing:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring.
• Framing and fi nishing details.
Moisture Resistance:
This outdoor fi replace will shed moderate amounts of water,
but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor
may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The fi replace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture
penetration must be considered for construction that places
the fi replace in structure walls or on moisture sensitive sur-
faces.
When installed on exterior walls: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the fi replace chase be con-
structed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where
the platform meets the wall, use a fl ashing detail similar to
that required for attached decks. Chase platforms, including
hearths should slope away from the structure at 1/8 in. to
1/4 in. per foot. The fi replace can be shimmed level.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect or
cause damage: Hearth & Home Technologies recommends
that a drainage pan be placed under the unit. This can be
constructed of metal, adhesive polymer membrane (such as
ice and water shield) or other suitable materials. A means of
drainage out of the pan such as tubes or weep holes should
be provided. A slope of 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot towards
the drain port is suggested. The fi replace can be shimmed
level.
Hearths should slope away from the front of the fi replace
and chase at 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot. Spark strips must be
on top of any combustible hearth materials used for moisture
management.
