!

WARNING

ENSURE THE AREA HAS ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

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
fl ame and possible pilot or main burner outage. An erratic fl ame could also lead to excessive carboning (black
soot), this condition 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.
