between the fire table and the source of the gas.
Flame is being obstructed at burner ports or mixing chamber of the burn tube
is blocked or obstructed| Make sure that the gas ports on the burner are free
of any lava rocks/fire glass so that the flame can flow naturally.Clear out
the mixing chamber located before the Venturi.
Sudden drop in gas flow, or a reduced flame height
| Out of Gas| Check for gas in the LP gas tank.
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.

WARNING: Make sure burner is not on, and has had sufficient time to cool before touching it.
Flame blow out
| High or gusting winds| Increase flame to HIGH setting.
Low on LP gas| Replace or refill LP gas tank.
Excess flow valve tripped| Refer to Problem: Sudden drop in gas flow.
Flame seems to lose heat when burning in cold weather – temperature below
50°F| 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.
Problem: Burner JUST LIGHT UP FOR SECOND AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF
-
The thermocouple will be under the Pilot Guard on the top of the unit.
Please remove the Pilot guard by unscrewing it from the metal bowl with a screw driver. -
Once the Pilot Guard has been removed, you will have two components exposed; the copper one is your thermocouple. Please unscrew the nut holding the thermocouple in place.
-
Inside the unit, you will notice that the end of the thermocouple line is directly screwed to the gas valve. Please unscrew the thermocouple from the back end of the gas valve. Do not take off the valve’s silver backing, only unscrew the small vnut as shown above.
-
Screw the end of the thermocouple to the back end of the gas valve with the silver backing.
Once this has been done, please test the unit. You may have to reset the gas valve once again as the safety mechanism may have been set off by the new components introduced:
Resetting Your Gas Valve
Completely detach the propane tank from the table. Do not forget to turn the
propane tank valve down. Turn the heat knob to high and leave it on that
setting for about two to three minutes.
Once you have done this, please turn the knob back to off. Hook up the propane
tank and turn the propane tank’s valve a quarter of a turn at a time.
NOTE: When reattaching the propane tank, please turn the valve to release
the gas back in to the unit VERY SLOWLY. We want the unit to register gas
coming through but not too much at once, this will flood the unit and you will
have to start all over!
This is so that the gas valve can register the gas coming through a little at
a time. Once you have turned the gas on all the way please go ahead and try to
light the table again. This should reset your fire table’s safety mechanism
