USE AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

Section1: Installation

1. In order to install the unit, first remove the brazier. Then, open the lid and unfold the hose. At this point, you should remove any existing fittings before turning the device over.

2. Loosen the strap by gently pulling on the rings before unfolding the legs of the device. You should hear a click that will indicate you have finished unfolding the leg fully; repeat with each leg until all three are fully in position and secure. You will hear a click also when returning the legs to their previous positions for storage.
   Warning：Legs not in place can cause the brazier to tip over, leading to serious burns or fire!

3. 3. Spread the small – medium – large volcanic stones into the basin in sequence around the bottom of the unit, depending on the level of heat required. However, ensure the volcanic stones do not fully cover the ignition ring, as this could prevent thorough heat transfer.
   You can reduce the volcanic stones so that the grill can be placed smoothly.
   Warning: Only use a maximum of 2.2 litres of water on the grill at any one time. Do not use the grill rack for cooking meat or any foodstufis, as the grill is not intended for this use.

4. Add the propane can to the brackets, before connecting to the brazier.

Section2: Igniting the Device

1. Ensure that unit valve dial is in the “OFF” position by pushing and turning clockwise until the dial Stops.
2. Securely attach regulator (large end of hose) to your propane cylinder.
3. **SLOWLY*** turn cylinder valve to the open position to avoid tripping the CSA excess flow safety device in the gas regulator. For more information about the CSA excess flow safety device see.

What is an Excess Flow Safety Valve? (EFV)
The EFV is a safety mechanism contained within every propane gas regulator. The purpose of the EFV is to restrict the gas supply if too much gas is flowing too quickly through the gas hose. For example, this could happen if the gas hose was severed.
It is normal that your Fire Bowl EFV trips if you open the propane tank valve too quickly or if you leave the Fire Bowl gas knob open before lighting, or both.

4. Leak Test all connections. See section labeled “Leak Test”.

5. Your firebowl is equipped with an auto spark ignition. Push the knob in and slowly turn counter-clockwise to the high position. The ignitor will spark and ignite the gas.Should the appliancefail to ignite on the first try, promptly repeat the ignition attempt within 5 seconds. If the second attempt fails to ignite the flrebowl then rotate the knob to the “off” position and wait 5 minutes before attempting to ignite again. Turn the gas valve off at the cylinder and inspect the ignition electrode to ensure it is free from debris. After waiting for 5 minutes visually inspect the spark by rotating the knob to high without turning the gas back on at the cylinder.
   Ensure the spark gap is 1/8” from the burner port and has a clear path. Once you ensure the ignitor is operating properly repeat the ignition sequence.

6. Once the unit is burning normally set the dial to desired flame height.

Warning :

1. Never handle rocks which have not been allowed to cool from exposure to flame. Never attempt to rearrange rocks while unit is ignited.
2. The brazier is equipped with a flameout protection device. If the flame is abnormally extinguished during the combustion process, the protection device will automatically close the gas valve within 3-5min to avoid danger caused by gas leakage.

Note : This helps reduce the risk of damage due to gas leakages; however, regular inspection is necessary to ensure the device remains safe to use.

Section3: Regular Flame Inspections

1. Upon igniting the appliance, visually verify that the burner is indeed burning as demonstrated in the image to the right. The presence of flames will confirm that the burner is burning. Periodically check that the burner flame is present during operation by visually inspecting the burner to ensure the presence of flames.

2. If there are no flames present, as demonstrated in the image to the left, the appliance is likely not burning. If this is the case, IMMEDIATELY turn the valve to the “off” position if it is not already and repeat the ignition procedure as outlined in Section2.

Section4: Reducing the Flame

1. Turn cylinder valve to the “Closed” position| 2. Turn appliance valve to the “Off­” position by pushing and turning knob clockwise| 3. Allow unit to cool for at least five (5) minutes before relighting

Section5: Securing the Device

Only attempt to store the device after the unit is fully cooled. Remove the grill from the device, then secure the hose by wrapping it around the lug hook. Finally, secure down the lid with the packing straps and secure the belt hook. This will allow you to carry away the unit safely without risking it falling apart.

Warning: Allow the equipment to cool for at least 30 minutes before removing the grill to ensure it does not cause burns.

Note: The device’s carry straps and lid are intended solely for transportation and storage and must not be used during the use of the device or for any other applications.

Only attempt to store the device after the unit is fully cooled.

Section6: Maintaining the Unit
