Operating
WARNING: Never use this appliance for other than the intended use. DO NOT use this appliance to prepare food.
Initial Lighting: When lit for the first time, the appliance emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the “burn-in ” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur again. Simply run the main burner on high for approximately one-half hour.
WARNING: Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away from the appliance to avoid burns or clothing ignition. The appliance comes with a heat shield which is an important safety component preventing contact with the fire bowl when adjusting the propane valve. Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of the appliance. Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung from the appliance, or placed on or near the appliance. The area above the fire pit may be extremely hot. Direct contact with these surfaces should be avoided in order to prevent burns or clothing ignition. Any guard or protective device removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before each use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required necessary. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
WARNING: Never use the appliance while it is raining. Always turn the appliance off when raining. Never use the appliance if the burner is damaged. Inspect the burner before each use. Ensure that no debris such as leaves; grass or other objects have entered or are on the appliance. If the burner is damaged it must be replaced prior to using this appliance with a replacement burner specified by your dealer. Inspect the hose assembly before each use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged it must be replaced prior to using the appliance with a replacement hose assembly specified by your dealer.
WARNING: Any modification to the appliance may compromise the safety of this appliance. Special concern is as follows: Do not bypass the thermocouple safety. Do not operate the appliance if any parts have been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system, and any gas control, which has been under water.

Operating (continued)
LEAK TESTING OPERATION
WARNING: A leak test must be performed annually or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames are in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.
LEAK TESTING: 1, Make 2-3 oz. of leak detection solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water. 2, Make sure all fire pit and light valves are OFF 3, Apply several drops of solution where hose attaches to regulator. 4, Apply several drops of solution where regulator connects to cylinder. 5, Turn cylinder valve ON. If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak. 1, Turn cylinder valve OFF. 2, If leak is at hose/regulator connection: tighten connection and perform another leak test. If bubbles continue appearing,
pls contact after-services for assistance. 3, If leak is at regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak test. If you continue
to see bubbles after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective, and contact after services for assistance.
If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure. NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test .

LIGHTING
CAUTION: Keep the outdoor gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. CAUTION: Do NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. CAUTION: Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire. 1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the outdoor fire pit. 2. Control knob must be in the “OFF” position (Figure 1). 3. Full open LP cylinder valve. 4. Press and hold electronic igniter button. 5. Press the control knob, turn counterclockwise to “Low” position, press and hold. When the burner lights, release the electronic igniter button (Figure 2). 6. Continue to depress the gas control knob for 30 seconds and then release. If the flame goes out, repeat the procedure. 7. Adjust the flame to the desired height with the gas control knob. Visually check the burner flames as picture below (Figure 3). 8. If the burner will not light with the electronic igniter, hold a lit long match or lit long butane lighter to the ignition area of the burner and continue with step 5.
WARNING: If the burner does not light within 10 seconds, turn the valve off and wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate before repeating the procedure
WARNING: Surface of the fire pit can remain extremely hot for a period after use. Allow 45 minutes to cool to dissipate before repeating the procedure.
Improper operation, can cause injury or property damage.

Maintenance

Storage between uses:
Turn the control knob to “OFF” position. Disconnect LP source. Store heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust
and debris). If desired, cover heater to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent build up in air passages.
NOTE: Wait until heater is cool before covering.
Storage during periods of extended inactivity or when transporting:
Turn the control knob to “OFF” position. Disconnect LP source and move to a secure, well ventilated location outdoors. DO NOT store in a location that will
exceed 125. Store heater upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust
and debris). If desired, cover heater to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent build up in air passages.
NOTE: Wait until heater is cool before covering.

Care and Cleaning

To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your heater, make sure you perform the following maintenance activities on a regular basis:
Whenever conduct hose/regulator inspection, pull out the door using handle on the door panel to gain access. Keep exterior surface clean. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents. While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner dry at all times. If the gas control is exposed to
water, do NOT try to use it. It must be replaced. Keep the appliance area free and clean from combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids. At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects. Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of possible
blockage include: Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame. Heater does NOT reach the desired temperature. Heat glow is excessively uneven. Heat makes popping noises. Spider and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage heater and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles. Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean reflector, thermocouple, and emitter screen with a dry cloth if any carbon deposits develop. The burner is made from stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive environment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush. Inspect the burner at least annually for cracks, insect nests, excessive corrosion or any other damage. If the burner is damaged, it must be replaced with a burner specified by the manufacturer before the appliance is put into operation.
