Burner will not stay lit when control knob is released .|

• The knob is not being held in long enough
• It is too windy outside.
• Debris is in the ignition area of the burner preventing the thermocouple from being fully engulfed in flame.
• Either the thermocouple or thermocouple connection is dirty.
• Either the thermocouple or valve is faulty.

|

• The thermocouple must have time to heat up. Hold the knob in for 30 seconds after the burner lights, then release

• The unit will shut down if winds are greater than 1O mph (16 km/h).
  Either move the fire pit to a different area or use when it is less windy.

• Ensure there is no debris in the ignition area, and that any ventilation holes near the thermocouple are unobstructed.

• Clean the thermocouple and clean the connection between the valve and thermocouple. Ensure the connection is properly tightened

• Replace thermocouple and/or valve.

The regulator is humming.|

• This is a normal occurrence on hot days.

|

• This is not a defect. It is caused by internal vibrations in the regulator and does not affect the performance or safety of the gas fire pit. Humming regulator does not need to be replaced.

The valve is set to high but there is low heat output. There is also a rumbling noise and a fluttering blue flame at the burner surface.|

• There is not enough gas.
• The supply hose is pinched
• The burner orifice is either dirty or clogged.
• There are spider webs or other matter in venturi tube.
• The propane regulator is in a “low flow” state.

|

• Check the gas level in the propane cylinder.
• Reposition the supply hose as necessary.
• Clean out the burner orifice.
• Clean out the venturi tube.
• Ensure the lighting procedure is followed carefully. All valves must be in the off position when the tank valve is turned on. Turn tank on slowly to allow pressure to equal ize. See the Lighting Instructions in the Operating section.
