IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
fireplace “ON”.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with
your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your Vermont Castings Group Fireplaces gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it
is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any
undetected oil used in the manufacturing process.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least
ten (10) continuous hours the first time you use it.
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other
reproductive harm.

A door on the enclosure to gain access to the cylinder valves is
acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without
the use of tools.
There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (51 mm) between the lower surface of the floor of the LP-gas supply cylinder
enclosure and the ground.
The design of the appliance shall be such that (1) the LP-gas
supply cylinder(s) can be connected, disconnected and the connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure; and
(2) those connections which could be disturbed when installing
the cylinder(s) in the enclosure can be leak tested inside the
enclosure.
Description
The ODGSR Series are radiant fireplaces. Do not burn wood or
other materials in these appliances. Each model is available with
standing pilot for use with Natural or Propane gas units.
Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment.
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided.
The flow of combustion and ventilation air MUST NOT be obstructed.
Provide adequate clearances around the air opening into the
combustion chamber; and adequate accessibility clearance for
servicing and proper operation. NEVER obstruct the front opening of the appliance.
This fireplace is not designed to be water tight. Therefore, when installing this unit against an exterior wall,
the wall must be finished before setting unit in place.

ODGSR Series Outdoor Gas Fireplace
Moisture Resistance
This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of water, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water
vapor may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Moisture penetration must be considered for construction that
places the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture sensitive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: Vermont Castings
Group recommends the fireplace chase be constructed
outside the structure's weather envelope. Where the platform meets the wall, use a flashing detail similar to that
required for attached decks. Chase platforms, including
hearths should slope away from the structure at 1/4 in per
foot. The fireplace can be shimmed level.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect or
cause damage: Vermont Castings Group recommends a
slope of 1/8 in to 1/4 in per foot towards the drain port suggested. The fireplace can be shimmed level.
Hearths should slope away from the front of the fireplace
and chase at 1/8 in to 1/4 in per foot. Metal safety strips
must be on top of any combustible hearth materials used
for moisture management.
Mantels
WARNING: A 4" hood must be used if a mantel
is to be installed.
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This also
applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if fitted)
and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths refer to Figures
3a and 3b
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at any
height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the
mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat
resistant to prevent discoloration.

Gas Line Installation
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during
any pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
If gas piping from the source to the appliance location has
not been accomplished, install the required pipe. Consult
local plumbing code to assure proper pipe size.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right side of
the appliance. A knockout is provided to allow for the gas
pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. NOTE: The gas line connection can be made with 3/8"
copper tubing approved for propane or natural gas, 1/2"
rigid pipe or an approved flex connector, then reduced to
3/8" to the appliance. Because some municipalities have
some additional local codes, it is always best to consult
your local authority.
U.S.: Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Test for leaks. Use a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water
to test for leaks at gas fittings and joints. Apply water/soap
solution with brush only - do not over apply. NEVER test
with an open flame.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type
pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide
a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union so that gas line can be
easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas
specification for pressure details and ratings. NOTE: If flex
connector is used, it must be kept inside of the appliance.

Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be trapped in the line. When first
lighting the unit with pilot light, it will take a few
minutes to purge the trapped air. Once purging is
complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate
as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent
lightings of the appliance will not require purging.
When LG317

Maintenance
Burner and Burner Compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner compartment
clean. At least once per year the logs should be removed
and the burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out.
Remove and replace the logs as per the instructions in
this manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they are fragile and
may also be hot if the fireplace has been in use.
Cleaning
There are three methods of cleaning the polished stainless
steel of your outdoor fireplace;
1. Warm, soapy water - to loosen any dirt film
2. Glass cleaner with ammonia
3. Stainless steel cleaner available at hardware stores
Regardless of which method is used, remember that anything with too much abrasive may dull the finish. Cleaning the Standing Pilot
Control System
The burner and control system consists of:
•
•
•
•
•
main burner
gas orifice
pilot burner
thermopile
combination millivolt gas valve
Most of these components may require only an occasional
checkup and cleaning and some may require adjustment.
If repair is necessary, it should be performed by a qualified
technician.
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly,
turn off the gas to the unit, remove logs exposing the burner
and pilot assembly. Clean all foreign materials from the top
of the burner. Check to make sure that burner parts are
clean. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust
or lint accumulation If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly
may be required to remove any foreign material from the
orifice or tubing.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot
and burner's flame characteristics are steady, not lifting
or floating.
Typically, the top 3/8" or 1/2" of the thermopile should be
engulfed in the pilot flame. (Fig. 16)
To adjust pilot burner, turn pilot screw marked "pilot" for
proper flame size.
The air shutter is set at factory no adjustment should be
necessary.
