Lighting Instructions

1. Make sure control knob is in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn LP cylinder gas valve to fully open position.
3. Press down control knob and turn it counter clockwise to “LOW” position, this will light the burner. (You will hear 1 clicking noise.)
4. If the burner is not lit immediately (within 5 seconds), press down the control knob and turn clockwise to “OFF” position, repeat from step 3 after 5 minutes.
5. When burner is lit, turn the control knob to desired heat output position between “LOW” and “HIGH”.
6. Press down and turn the control knob clockwise to “OFF” position to shut down the appliance. Turn off cylinder gas valve.

Flame Characteristic
Normally the burner flame is yellow.

If the burner flame is blue and very small, please check the gas cylinder, as it may be low gas pressure or empty.
If flames lift away from burner or backfire happens, or produce thick black smoke, the fire pit should be turned off immediately. The fire pit should not be operated again until the unit is serviced and/or repaired by a qualified service technician.

CAUTION: AVOID INHALING FUMES EMITTED FROM THE GAS APPLIANCE’S FIRST USE. SMOKE AND ODOR FROM THE BURNING OF OILS USED IN MANUFACTURING WILL APPEAR. BOTH SMOKE AND ODOR WILL DISSIPATE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES. THE GAS APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT PRODUCE THICK BLACK SMOKE.

NOTE:
The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the control knob to the “LOW” position. Then, turn the knob to the level of heat desired.

Operation pressure checked:
If the flame is very small, this is because the supply pressure is not enough. Please refill gas cylinder.

Re-light:

1. Turn the control knob to “OFF” position.
2. Wait five (5) minutes before attempting to relight appliance.
3. Repeat steps beginning with step 3 of the lighting instruction.

Shut down instructions:

1. Push in and turn control knob clockwise to “OFF” position.
2. Turn LP cylinder gas valve clockwise to “OFF” position when appliance is not in use.

The Event of Gas Leakage:

1. Turn the control knob to “OFF” position.
2. Turn LP cylinder valve to “OFF” position.
3. Wait 5 minutes to allow gas to dissipate.
4. If odor continues, immediately call gas supplier.
   WARNING : Gas appliance will be hot after use.
   Handle with extreme care.

LOCATING HEATER FOR USE

CAUTION: WHEN CERTAIN MATERIALS OR ITEMS ARE LEFT ABOVE, BESIDE OR UNDER THIS HEATER WHILE IN USE, THEY WILL BE SUBJECT TO RADIANT HEAT AND COULD BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.
This gas fire pit is primarily used for the heating of outdoor patios, decks, spas, pools and open working areas.
