1. Verify fireplace gas type and gas supply type are the same.
2. Look for a location where combustibles will not interfere.
3. 120V GFI power outlet will be needed for LED lights
4. Choose a location for gas shutoff valve.
5. Verify ventilation meets at least minimum requirements
6. Wind and rain direction

In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to
determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional
accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned
at this time.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A raised frame of combustible material so contact is made on
all four perimeter edges of the bottom of the fireplace at least
3-1/2 in. above the floor.
2. Four corners of the fireplace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit at least 3-1/2 in.
above the floor. Check local codes for allowances.
At this point, you should have decided what components to include
in your installation, and where the fireplace is to be located. If this
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with this planning.
