Inspect Fireplace and Components WARNING Fire Risk Explosion Risk Inspect fireplace and components for damage. Damaged parts may impair safe operation. • Do NOT install damaged components. • Do NOT install incomplete components. • Do NOT install substitute components • Carefully remove the fireplace and components from the packaging. The fireplace system consists of the following: • Fireplace / Integral grate/dual cooling air inlet hoods, firescreen, and hearth refractory. F. Grate This fireplace is designed to be used with the grate supplied with this unit or one approved by HHT. The grate will deteriorate over time and will need occasional replacement. Warning! Risk of Fire! Use only the factory-supplied intergral grate. Keep logs in place. Allows proper air circulation around the fire. G. Firescreen The firescreen is provided to control sparks. Keep it closed when the fireplace is in use. I. Molded Brick Panel • The molded brick panels are shipped separately, but required to contain heat and provide an attractive interior. • They will deteriorate over time and will need occasional replacement. Small hairline cracks and discoloration are normal and do not affect safety. • Mortar is not necessary but can be used to enhance the appearance. WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Screen will not prevent burning materials from falling out. Screen pulls or handles may be hot. H. Cooling Air Cooling air is necessary to install the fireplace on a combustible surface and in a combustilbe enclosure. Two inlet hoods are provided and must be installled. The complete structure must be noncombustible if the hoods are not installed. Outdoor Lifestyles by Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. • 4070-300 Rev C • 4/11 3 Framing and Clearances WARNING Fire Risk Provide adequate clearances. • Around air openings • To combustibles • For service access. Locate fireplace away from traffic areas. A. Selecting Fireplace Location This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of water, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water vapor may enter the chase under certain conditions. The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture penetration must be considered for construction that places the fireplace against structure walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces. • Exterior Walls (see Figure 3.1) Hearth & Home Technologies recommends that the fireplace chase be constructed outside the structure’s weather envelope. Where the platform meets the wall, use a flashing 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 fireplace can be shimmed level. Build the outside enclosure out of standard building materials, being careful to maintain the minimum air clearances specified in these installation instructions. Note: • Illustrations and photos reflect typical installations and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. • Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. • Actual installation/appearance may vary due to individual design preference. • Hearth & Home Technologies reserves the right to alter its products. • Freestanding Installations (see Figure 3.2) When installing this fireplace as a freestanding fireplace on your porch, patio or in your yard, it must be enclosed to prevent impact damage to the fireplace. • The cooling air hoods MUST be used if installing in a combustible enclosure. • If unit is installed on cement and totally enclosed with non combustilbe materials (i.e. metal studs, cement board, etc.) the cooling air hoods do not need to be installed. • 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 fireplace can be shimmed level. Hearths should slope away from the front of the fireplace and chase at 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. per foot. Spark strips must be used on top of any combustible hearth materials used for moisture management.
