3.4 COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

EN

This appliance is intended for installation on an outdoor patio or in your yard. It must never be installed inside
the warm air envelope of your structure.

It is highly recommended that this appliance be installed in a “sheltered” area. Direct wind will cause an
erratic flame and possible pilot or main burner outage.

An erratic flame could also lead to excessive carboning (black soot) which is not a safety issue but is visually
undesirable.

Typical installation may include covered patio, screened porch, gazebo or on an outside wall of a house.

* If installing a propane appliance, the propane cylinder must always be on the exterior of such a
structure.

NOTE: Ensure the area has adequate ventilation.

COVER THE FIREBOX WHEN NOT IN USE.

5.2 GLOWING EMBERS (OPTIONAL)

Glowing embers (not supplied) may be used to enhance the flame’s appearance. Tear the embers into pieces
and place along the front row of ports covering all of the burner area in front of the small logs. Care should
be taken to shred the embers into thin, small irregular pieces as only the exposed edges of the fibre hairs will
glow. The ember material will only glow when exposed to direct flame; however, care should be taken

to not block the burner ports.

Blocked burner ports can cause an incorrect flame pattern, carbon deposits and delayed ignition. PHAZERTM
logs glow when exposed to direct flame. Use only certified "glowing embers" and PHAZERTM logs available
from your authorized dealer / distributor.

7.0 OPERATION

When lit for the fi rst time, the appliance will emit an odor for a few hours. This is a normal temporary condition
caused by the “burn-in” of paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance
may emit a slight odor for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles in the heat exchanger burning off. In
both cases, suffi ciently ventilate the area.

• This appliance is equipped with a pilot which must be lit by hand while following these instructions exactly.

• Before operating smell all around the appliance area for gas and next to the fl oor because some gas is
