Extension Cord
Use extension cord if needed. The cord must have a three-prong,
grounding plug and a three-hole receptacle. Make sure cord is in good
shape. It must be heavy enough to carry the current needed. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage. This will result in
loss of power and overheating. Use a No. 16 AWG cord for lengths
less than 50 feet.

ATTACHING WOOD BASE TO SOLID FLOOR
For attaching base to solid floors (concrete or masonry)
Note: Floor anchors and mounting screws are in hardware package.
The hardware package is provided with fireplace.
1. Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16" drill bit. For solid
floors (concrete or masonry), drill at least 1" deep.
2. Fold floor anchor as shown in Figure 28.
3. Insert floor anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap anchor flush
to floor.
4. Insert mounting screws through base and into floor anchors.
5. Tighten screws until base is firmly fastened to floor.

WARNING: A qualified service person must con-
nect fireplace to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect propane/LP fireplace
directly to the propane/LP supply. This fireplace
requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between the fireplace and pro-
pane/LP supply.
For propane/LP units, the installer must supply an external regula-
tor. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You
must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 14 inches of
water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, fireplace
regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the
vent pointing down as shown in Figure 29. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 45° male flare
fitting 5/8"-18 UNF (Unified National Fine Thread) inlet
connection and the flexible gas line provided.
WARNING: Never connect natural gas fireplace to
private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly
known as wellhead gas.
IMPORTANT: For natural gas, check gas line pressure before
connecting fireplace to gas line. Gas line pressure must be no greater
than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator
damage could occur.
