Before beginning assembly of the fire pit, make sure all the parts are present.
Compare the parts with the package contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the fire pit.
Estimated Assembly Time: 25 minutes

PACKAGE CONTENTS AND COMPONENTS

WARNING
Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.

Assembly

1. Connecting the Propane Tank
   Make sure the control knob (J) is turned to “OFF”.
   Turn door knob (N), and remove door (C).

WARNING
This fire pit requires air flow under the unit. Do not place on an uneven surface or on grass, turf, or carpet.

Place the propane tank (not included) in the metal stand inside the body (B) and make sure the propane tank sits on the metal stand completely. Turn the wing screw on the outer part of metal stand clockwise to secure the propane tank tightly.

Turn the cylinder valve on the top of tank clockwise to close off the gas supply. See Figure a.
Screw the regulator coupling clockwise by hand only. Make sure it is fastened. See Figure b.

Replace the door (C) onto the body (B) and turn the door knob (N) to secure.

2. Installing the Battery
To install the battery (G), unscrew the rubber cap of the electric igniter (K) and place the battery (G) into the battery case. Make sure the positive pole (“+”) faces out towards the cap. Screw the cap back onto the battery case tightly.

3 Installing the Fire Glass

WARNING
Keep the fire glass (F) and other objects off of the gas screen (E). Holes in the screen must be exposed in order to allow gas to escape.
A blocked screen can cause gas to build inside the fire pit and ultimately cause an explosion and risk of serious injury.

Place the fire glass (F) evenly in the fire bowl.
Use caution when handling the fire glass (F) as it is sharp. See Figure a.
Do not place any fire glass (F) over the gas screen (E). See Figure b.
Completely cover the entire burner ring (D) with the fire glass (F). See Figure c.
Failure to completely cover the burner ring (D) with the fire glass (F) will cause the flame to extinguish occasionally.

Leakage Test

Before using the fire pit, check for gas leaks.
Perform a leakage test in a well-ventilated area outside and where no source of spark can occur.

• After opening the door for access, open the tank valve fully (counter-clockwise).
• Turn the control knob (J) to the OFF position.
• Apply a soapy water solution (3 drops dish detergent plus 4 oz. water) to check all the connections for leaks before attempting to light the fire pit.
• Coat the soapy water onto all the connections (shown in the figure at right,:1, 2 ,3, 4, 5).
• Turn the control knob (J) to the ON position. If there are any leaks, the soapy water will bubble where the leak is occurring. If a leak is found, turn the tank valve off and do not use the fire pit until repairs are made.

Operation

Before each use, be sure to inspect the hose. Replace the hose if there are any signs of cutting, wear or abrasion.
** WARNING!  During the initial lighting of the fire pit, stay away from the fire pit for 30 minutes as the foire glass may pop and cause injury to the face or eyes.
