the damper door for the outside air inlet will be located inside the
left “screen pocket” of the firebox (see Figure 33). Pull the handle
to open or push to close.

As an option to enhance the look of the hearth, you may place the
lava rock provided around the front and sides of the burner pan.
NOTICE: Do not put lava rock inside the burner pan or
around the air mixer fitting. Placing lava rock inside the
burner pan or blocking the openings of the propane/LP
air-mixer could cause performance problems.
APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE
Before finishing the enclosure around the appliance, inspect all
joints around the outer surround. Any gaps between the nailing
flanges and the framing should be sealed with noncombustible
insulation or caulking.
If the appliance is mounted on a raised platform, it must be a con-
tinuous surface and not on blocks without a solid surface. This will
prevent the entry of cold air by means of conduction through the
total bottom of the appliance (see Figure 34).
