Helpful Tips

If the burner will not light or stay lit,please perform the following checks.

It is possible that the Excess Flow Safety Device has been tripped.

Turn the control knob to off and close the LP Gas tank valve. Disconnect the regulator. Turn the Control Knob to “HIGH”. Wait a minimum of 5 minutes. Turn burner control knob back to “OFF”. Reconnect the regulator and perform a leak check at tank connection. Turn the LP Gas tank valve on slowly, wait 30 seconds and then light the outdoor fire table.

To ensure proper ignition make sure the igniter pin is properly positioned and connected.

• The igniter pin should be pointed straight to the thermocouple.
• The thermocouple should be positioned 5mm away from the burner tube.

Make sure that the pilot housing is unobstructed.
Clear any debris on top of the pilot housing and make sure there is no debris between the igniter pin, thermocouple and the burner tube.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Burner will not light using igniter

Please review the Helpful Tips on page 15 for common fixes to this problem.

Possible Cause

1. Electrode and burners are wet.
   • Wipe dry with cloth.
2. Igniter battery is dead or backwards.
   • Check that the AAA battery is inserted correctly in the igniter (see page 10) or replace the battery. Make sure the plastic wrap on the battery has been removed.
3. Igniter Pin cracked or broken – sparks at crack.
   • PLS contact retailer for technical support.
4. Bad Igniter
   • PLS contact retailer for technical support.

Problem: Burner will not light with match

Possible Cause

1. No Gas Flow
   • Check if the LP gas tank is empty. If empty, replace and refill. If the propane tank is not empty, refer to “Problem: Sudden drop in gas flow” on the following page.
2. Coupling nut and regulator not fully connected.
   • Turn the coupling nut about one half to three fourths a turn, until y ou feel a solid stop. Do not use tools, tighten by hand only.
3. Obstruction of gas flow.
   • Check for bent or kinked hose.
4. Spider webs or insect nest in the venturi.
   • Clean the venturi.
5. Burner ports clogged or blocked.
   • Reference “Problem: Irregular flame pattern” on the following page. Clean the burner ports as described there.

Problem: The fireplace emits a lot of black smoke when in use

Possible Cause

1. Hose from gas fireplace is pinched.
   • Make sure the hose is not pinched between the fire table and the source of the gas.
2. Flame is being obstructed at burner ports.
   • Make sure that the gas ports on the burner are free of any lava rocks/fire glass so that the flame can flow naturally.
3. Mixing chamber of the burn tube is blocked or obstructed.
   • Clear out the mixing chamber located before the Venturi.

Problem: Sudden drop in gas flow, or a reduced flame height

Possible Cause

1. Out of Gas.
   • Check for gas in the LP gas tank.
2. Excess flow safety device may have been activated.
   • Turn control knob to “OFF”, wait 30 seconds and light outdoor fire table. If flames are still too low, reset the excessive flow safety device by turning off the control knob and LP gas tank valve. Disconnect regulator. Turn burner control knob to “HIGH”. Wait at least 5 minutes. Turn burner control knob off. Reconnect regulator and perform a leak check at tank connection. Turn LP gas tank valve on slowly, wait 30 seconds and then light outdoor fire table.

Problem: Irregular flame pattern, flame does not run the full length of the burner

Possible Cause

1. Out of Gas.
   • Check for gas in the LP gas tank.
2. Excess flow safety device may have been activated.
   • Turn control knob to “OFF”, wait 30 seconds and light outdoor fire table. If flames are still too low, reset the excessive flow safety device by turning off the control knob and LP gas tank valve. Disconnect regulator. Turn burner control knob to “HIGH”. Wait at least 5 minutes. Turn burner control knob off. Reconnect regulator and perform a leak check at tank connection. Turn LP gas tank valve on slowly, wait 30 seconds and then light outdoor fire table.

Problem: Irregular flame pattern, flame does not run the full length of the burner

Possible Cause: Burner ports are clogged or blocked.

• Clean burner ports. Do this by inserting a paperclip into each of the burner ports to ensure they are not clogged. WARNING: Make sure burner is not on, and has had sufficient time to cool before touching it.

Problem: Flame blow out

Possible Cause

1. High or gusting winds.
   • Increase flame to “HIGH” setting.
2. Low on LP gas.
   • Replace or refill LP gas tank.
3. Excess flow valve tripped.
   • Refer to “Problem: Sudden drop in gas flow”

Problem: Flame seems to lose heat when burning in cold weather – temperature below 50°F

Possible Cause

1. Ice has built up on the outside of the LP gas tank because the vaporization process is too low.
   • Turn the control knob and the LP gas tank to “OFF”. Replace with a spare LP gas tank and resume burning. Store the spare LP gas tank in a well ventilated area, away from children.

If these trouble shooting steps are unable to resolve the problem, PLS contact retailer for technical support.
