• This fire table comes equipped with a standard LP gas hose and regulator including the fire table side connection for a CGA No 791 Cylinder Connection Device. The LP gas hose and regulator supplied with this fire table must be used. Only a hose and regulator specified by manufacturer can be used for replacement.
• The CGA No 791 connection incorporates an excess flow limiting device that acts to limit the flow of gas if a leak is detected between the regulator and the burner valve.
• If the burner valve is open prior to the LP gas cylinder service valve being opened, the connection will interpret this free flow of gas to be a leak.
• The connection safety feature will reduce gas flow from the regulator to the fire table to a minimal level.
• Be sure that the burner control valve is closed prior to opening the LP gas cylinder service valve to ensure that the connection flow limiting device is not triggered mistakenly.
• If the connection flow limiting device is triggered mistakenly, close the LP gas cylinder service valve and the burner valve, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open the cylinder service valve, then open the burner valve and light the fire table as per lighting instructions.
• Be sure to protect the hose from any hot surfaces.
• Serious danger may result if the hose contacts any hot surface. Regular maintenance of the hose and regulator: Inspect the hose before each use of the fire table. If the hose shows signs of cracks, abrasions, cuts or damage of any kind, do not operate the fire table. Fix or replace the hose as required before using the fire table. For assistance with repair or replacement of the hose, call the Customer Service Team at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON. Use only replacement parts from the manufacturer. Inspect the seal inside the CGA No 791 service valve on the LP gas cylinder when replacing the cylinder or at least once per year. If there is any indication of damage, have the seal replaced by a certified gas dealer before operating the fire table.
• Do not use tools to tighten the CGA No 791 connection nut onto the LP gas cylinder service valve. Hand tighten only.
• Be careful to not cross the threads on the connection when tightening the CGA No 791 connection on to the LP gas cylinder service valve.
• A leak test should always be performed after attaching the connection to the LP gas cylinder service valve. (See step 2 in the Operation section of this manual).
• LAVA ROCK USE: Do not light or use the gas unit if lava rocks are wet. Ensure lava rocks are completely dry before lighting as intense heat could cause the lava rocks to crack. Lava rocks could hit a person in the face or eyes during the initial start of this unit, so please keep away from the fire table for the first 20 minutes.
• Maximum gas supply pressure is 250 psi.

Pre-Assembly

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Assembly

1. Check that the control knob (F) for the gas supply system is turned to the “OFF” position before starting any assembly.

2. Open door (D) from body (C). Remove the cap on the electronic igniter (G) by unscrewing and slide battery (B) into the battery slot. Make sure the positive side of the battery faces battery faces outwards. Screw the electronic igniter cap (G) over the battery tightly.

3. Place propane gas tank (not included) into the the metal stand inside of the body (C).

4. Turn the cylinder valve on the tank clockwise to close the propane tank. Attach the preassembled regulator from the body (C) to the cylinder valve by turning the regulator coupling nut clockwise. Make sure it is fastened securely and tighten connections by hand only.

5. Once the tank is attached to the regulator, make sure the propane gas tank sits on the metal stand inside body (C) completely. Turn the preassembled wing screw on the outer part of metal stand clockwise to secure the propane gas tank tightly.

6. Pour the box of lava rocks (A) into the body (C).

WARNING :

  * To ensure proper function, the guard (I) on this burner (H) should be free of lava rocks at all times.
  * Always ensure that lava rocks/pumice stones/LavaGlass® are completely dry before use. Failure to do so will cause them to crack or pop.

Operation

1. Selecting a location

   • Always place this outdoor fire table on a hard, level non-combustible surface such as concrete, rock or stone.
   • Please ensure that the minimum clearances are maintained between the fire table and combustible surfaces. (See below).
   • Position the fire table so that you have easy access to the control knob and door.

2. Performing a leak test

   •  Perform a leak test in a well ventilated area outside.
   •  Make sure any open flames or cigarettes are extinguished.
   • Remove the battery.
   • Ensure the burner control knob is in the “OFF” position.
   • In a bowl, create a soap solution using 1 part water and 1 part liquid detergent.
   • Apply the soapy water solution to all connections before attempting to light the fire table.
   • A gas leak will be detected by expanding bubbles originating from the point of the leak.
   • If a leak is found at any connection point or if you smell gas, close the tank valve, disconnect the tank and do not use the fire table until repairs can be made.

3. Lighting a fire
   CAUTION: If the burner does not ignite with the burner control valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the burner and could accidentally ignite causing injury or property damage.

   • Connect the propane (LP) cylinder (see step 5 in the Assembly section).
   • Before lighting, move the lava rocks to allow access to the burner.
   • Locate the burner control knob and make sure it is in the “OFF” position.
   • Push the ignition control knob in and turn counter-clockwise to “LOW” position, Keep holding down the control knob for 15 seconds; this will ignite the fuel.
   • f the burner does not light, turn the burner control knob to “OFF” position, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure. If the burner still will not light, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
   • Once the fire table is lit, flame height can be changed by adjusting the burner control knob between the “High” and “Low”. Always check burner flames periodically to ensure proper operation. Flames should be mostly yellow with some blue for best performance.

4. Using a long match/lighter to light
   WARNING: Lava rocks can become very hot. DO NOT touch unless they are completely cooled.

   • Connect the propane (LP) cylinder (see step 5 in the Assembly section).
   • Before lighting, move the lava rocks to allow access to the burner.
   • Locate the burner control knob and make sure it is in the “OFF” position.
   • Wearing heat resistant gloves, position a long lit match or lit lighter close to the burner ports. DO NOT lean over the burner while lighting.
   • Push and turn the control knob to the “LOW” position. The burner should light within 5 seconds.
   •  If the burner does not light, turn the burner control knob to “OFF” position, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure. If the burner still will not light, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
   • Flame height can be changed by adjusting the burner control knob between the HI and LO (low) positions.
   •  Always check the burner flames periodically to ensure proper operation. Flames should be mostly yellow with some blue for best performance. (See diagram on previous page)
   • Wait 50 minutes after extinguishing flame prior to placing the lid (if applicable) or a protective cover on the heating item.

5. Performing a visual check
   Prior to each use, check the hose and valve for excessive wear, abrasions or any damage.

6. Extinguishing the fire

   • Push and turn the burner control knob to the “OFF” position and close the LP tank valve.
   • Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank to close the gas supply when not in use.
   • Make sure that the unit is completely cooled before touching any of the components or putting on the cover.

Maintenance
