Section 3 Installation Details

3.1 Gas Requirements
The fire feature should be placed on a flat and level surface. It will arrive with the burner and burner plate set inside the unit. Burner hardware has been installed at the factory but will need to be checked for proper tightness after transportation. Refer to the corresponding section below for set-up on your unit. All units must have clearance to the combustible surface of 4ft on all sides & 6ft from the top.

3.1.1 Propane Gas
Gas Pressure: 11 inches water column
Gas Input Flow: 125,000 BTUs/HR
Make sure the foundation is flat and level prior to placement. Units that use liquid propane will come with a burner, orifice, flex hose, and regulator that will attach to the propane tank. This gas hose will need to go from the tank to the burner. The hose should connect from the key valve within the unit, through a vent underneath, and to the propane tank. Make sure all fittings are tightened properly with a wrench, do not hand tighten! An additional flex hose will be attached to the other end of the key valve to the flare fitting at the bottom of the burner. The arrow on the key valve should be pointing in the direction of the gas flow (towards the burner plate on your fire feature).

Fire features do not include a propane cylinder; you will need to provide one. The liquid propane supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for propane gas cylinders as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

3.2 Internal View of Components

3.3 Propane Gas Quick Connection
The fire feature is equipped with a quick connect brass connection. Coupled with the brass connection on the propane hose it quickly and conveniently provides proper pressure to operate the fire feature as well as a sealed connection to the tank.

To Connect:

1. Pull the sleeve back on the hose connection.
2. While the sleeve is in the back position push onto the connection on the fire feature receiver.
3. Release sleeve. (sleeve will automatically slide into place)
4. Gently tug/pull on the hose to ensure a connection has been made.

To Disconnect:

1. Push inwards on the connection, then pull back on the sleeve.
2. While the sleeve is in the back position pull away the connection on the fire feature receiver.
3. Release sleeve. (sleeve will automatically slide into place)

  Section 4 Operation

4.1 Ignition
An initial burner test should be done prior to filling the pan with media (rocks/glass/etc.)
Battery Ignition
Find the panel on the side of your unit, the knob should be at the 12:00 position. This type of ignition takes one AA battery (not included). To insert the battery, turn the black battery receptacle to the left of the knob counter-clockwise until it unscrews and comes off. Insert the battery and carefully place the receptacle knob back in position and screw it back on. You may need to apply light pressure but do not overtighten as it may damage the knob and threads.

To ignite the unit, ensure the knob is in the 12:00 position to start. Push the knob inward and turn clockwise to the 6:00 position. You should hear the igniter sparking and the gas should ignite. Continue to push the knob inward until the burner lights, wait a few seconds, and release the knob. If the flame does not stay lit, push the knob back in and allow the spark to reignite. If you do not hear the igniter sparking, your battery may be drained and will require replacement.
Regulate the flame by turning the knob clockwise until it is to your liking. The knob will not go past the 9:00 position. If the flames are still too low or too high, have the pressure regulator checked for proper operation. Push the knob inward and turn counterclockwise all the way back to the 12:00 starting position. If the knob does not turn the system off, contact your gas professional to replace the gas valve. Only use factory-approved parts for replacement. Once the burner lights, immediately remove your hand and llow the burner to operate for a few minutes before turning the knob all the way back to the 12:00/off position.
You are now ready to place the fire media onto the burner pan. Slowly pour media onto the pan and spread evenly. Fire media should be sparsely spread out enough to cover the pan. Only use the recommended amount of media in your unit (the amount provided), overfilling may result in smaller flame and gas buildup which may cause an explosion. Fresh air must be able to pass through the unit. Do not block or obstruct any vents on the lower and upper parts of the fire feature. These are designed to ensure proper combustion and ensure no buildup of residual gases within the unit.

4.2 Adjustment
Allow the fire feature and media to cool down before moving or adjusting. This may take from 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the fire feature. Any shifting of fire media or features should be done after the entire unit has cooled. Also prior to movement, ensure that all gas valves are completely closed and disconnected.
Refer to Section 1.2 for instructions on how to safely move your unit.
