Top View; Side View - Empire OL48TP10-1 Instructions D'installation Et Mode D'emploi

Installation is permissable within a partial enclosure that includes
an overhead cover and three side walls, as long as 30 percent or
more of the horizontal periphery (perimeter of walls and open side)
of the enclosure is permanently open. See Figures 9,10 and 11.
TOP VIEW
If installing in a screened in porch, the open space must be adjusted
(increased) from 30 percent (adjusted open space = 30% / % open
area of the screen mesh). "Example, if you used a screen with a
66% open area, the minimum open space of your building must
be 46% of the periphery. If you have a covered screened-in porch
that has two side walls that are 16', one wall that was against the
house that's 20' and one open side that's 20', you would have a
perimeter of 72'. You would need to have 33' of the perimeter open
(72' x 46% = 33')."
(contact your screen manufacturer or screen dealer to determine
your screens open area).

Check gas type on the rating label located on the underside of the
control door. If the gas listed on the rating label does not match
your gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact your dealer for proper
