Optional Chalet Base
The Chalet Base is designed as a decorative enhance-
ment for use with the Gas Patio Fire.
Tools required: 7/16”, 3/4” and 11/16” wrenches, phillips
screwdriver.
Installation Instructions
1. Remove Chalet Base assembly from shipping
carton. Remove two (2) 1/4-20 fasteners and two (2)
washers from the cast valve panel, set aside.
2. Remove the four (4) sheet metal screws that hold
the valve brackets to the burner on the GPF and
discard.
3. Disconnect the fuel supply line from the valve using
a 3/4” wrench. (Fig. 7) Using both the 3/4” and 11/16”
wrenches, remove the fuel supply line from the venturi
(tube secured to the bottom of the burner). Assemble
the valve and bracket assembly to the Chalet using the
1/4-20 x 1/2” fasteners and washers removed in Step 2.
Reconnect the fuel supply line to the valve and tighten.
Feed the fuel line from the gas supply through the fuel
line opening in the base. Place the octagonal mounting
plate on the Chalet. (Fig. 8) Orient the plate with the
long side of the rectangular opening parallel to the
valve panel. Pass the fuel line through the rectangular
opening and reconnect the fuel supply line to the
venturi on the GPF and tighten using the 3/4” and
11/16” wrenches.
4. Seat the GPF burner assembly on the Chalet. Pass
the burner legs through the rectangular opening in the
