4. Prepare a leak testing solution of half liquid detergent and half water.
5. Apply the solution to the LP gas delivery system at points as shown in illustration indicated on page 3.
6. If parts of the fitting begin to produce bubbles, spray liquid, or if you smell liquid propane gas, immediately close the valve on the tank.
7. Wait 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate. 8. After waiting for 5 minutes, the leak(s) must be stopped by
tightening the loose joints, if possible, or by replacing the faulty parts(s) with the part(s) recommended by the appliance manufacturer.

Should any part of this appliance (including the burner) become soiled or dirty, wipe lightly with a damp cloth. Do not use flammable or corrosive cleaning products on or near this unit.
Ensure that gas hose is placed in an area where it is unlikely to be tripped over (such as pathways or trails) or subject to other accidental damage.
Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Solid fuels shall not be burned in this appliance.
Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1 or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.

THE APPLIANCE IS NOT TO BE USED UNTIL ANY LEAK IS CORRECTED.
A gas appliance repairman or LP gas dealer should be called if attempts to stop the leak(s) are unsuccessful and, in such case, the LP gas supply must be shut off at the cylinder valve or the cylinder must be removed from the appliance until the leak(s) is corrected.

Inspect hose prior to each use of the unit. The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged.

Contact FMI Brands Inc. should you require a replacement hose.

Inspect burner prior to each use. Burner must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if there is evidence of damage. Replacement burners are available from FMI Brands Inc.

Inspect the burner tube venturi and ensure the mesh screen is in place, prior to each use. Insects will build nests in the tube if they can get in and this can cause a back-flame event! Always clear all valve and gas orifices of any foreign debris including spider webs prior to lighting. If any doubt there may be a nest inside, use a pipe cleaner up the tube.

Owner & Safety Manual

SECTION 1: ASSEMBLY
Enclosed are three bags of rocks, one factory installed 3 m / 10 ft propane- rated hose with attached regulator, one propane tank stabilizer ring, one lid and one carry strap.

NOTE TO USER:
Before igniting the unit for the first time, follow steps one through 5 in the below Ignition section.

STEP 1 Remove plastic bags containing the rocks, propane stabilizer ring and cover and carry kit.
STEP 2 Open the single bag containing mid-sized rocks, labelled conveniently for you “M” and arrange in burner area.
STEP 3 Open the single bag containing larger sized rocks, labelled conveniently for you “L” and arrange on top of the medium sized rocks.

SECTION 2: IGNITION
STEP 1 Ensure that the appliance valve dial is in the “OFF” position by pushing and turning clockwise until the dial stops.

Our preferred configuration is pictured here. Never handle rocks which have not been allowed to cool from exposure to flame. Never attempt to rearrange rocks while unit is ignited.

STEP 2 Securely attach regulator (large end of hose) to your propane cylinder.

STEP 4 The third bag of rocks are included as spares and labelled “Spare Rocks”. These can be stored and used as replacements.
Your included Cover & Carry kit is to be used for storage and transportation as shown.
Note: · Rocks are not to exceed a
maximum weight of 2.5 kgs / 5.5lbs. · Never use a lid to extinguish the flame on your Outland Firebowl® · The lid and carry straps (Cover & Carry Kit) is to be used for storage and transportation only.
WARNING:
Never use the lid to cover your Outland Firebowl while the burner is in operation. After use allow the Firebowl to cool for at least 10 minutes prior to deploying the lid and carry strap.

STEP 3 Extend hose to full length and ensure that the propane tank is as far as safely possible from the Firebowl and place the tank in the included stabilizer ring.

Caution: Trip Hazard!

D.863.000.V4

SECTION 2: IGNITION (continued)
WARNING:
The hose should not be twisted or kinked when attached to the gas cylinder. The hose should never touch the appliance. Ensure that the appliance is kept at a minimum distance of 0.91m (36″) from the gas cylinder.
STEP 4 SLOWLY turn cylinder valve to the open position to avoid tripping the excess flow safety device in the gas regulator. For more information about the excess flow safety device see STEP 8.

STEP 8 GOT A LOW FLAME?: If your firebowl experiences low flame, or flame height does not appear to be normally adjusted by the gas knob, it is likely that the gas cylinder is low in fuel, or the excess flow safety device has been tripped in the gas regulator.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Confirm your gas cylinder is NOT empty. Close gas supply valve. Open and then close the appliance gas knob valve to release pressure. Be sure appliance valve is OFF. Disconnect and reconnect the cylinder regulator connection. Slowly open the gas supply valve. Perform Leak Test and follow Ignition sequence.

STEP 5 Leak Test all connections. See section labeled “Leak Test” (page 4).
STEP 6 Using a lighter or match, ignite lighter and hold flame slightly above the burner, then open the valve on the appliance slowly by turning (counter- clockwise) until the unit ignites.
WARNING:
Ensure that no parts of your body, clothing, or any other combustible material are above the burner before, during and after ignition.

WHAT IS AN EXCESS FLOW SAFETY VALVE? (EFV)
The EFV is a safety mechanism contained within the 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.

SECTION 3: PERIODIC INSPECTION OF BURNER FLAMES
Upon igniting the appliance, visually verify that the burner is indeed burning as demonstrated in the image to the left. 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.

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 appliance valve to the “off” position if it is not already and repeat the ignition procedure as outlined in Section 2.

SECTION 4: EXTINGUISHING THE APPLIANCE

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

WARNING:
The rocks are HOT!
WARNING:
Don’t burn yourself! Do not touch or handle the firebowl when hot! To avoid injury always allow the firebowl to cool down for at least 30 minutes before moving and handling the appliance. Never handle rocks which have not been allowed to cool from exposure to flame. Never attempt to rearrange rocks while unit is ignited.

SECTION 5: FIREBOWL MAINTENANCE
Your Outland Firebowl® requires periodic maintenance to keep it in good running order. Follow the steps below to ensure your appliance will provide you with the best possible performance:

1 Keep your Firebowl out of the rain and store it in a dry place.
2 This device has been engineered to provide the maximum amount of heat and comfort. If you experience any signs of your propane cylinder `freezing off’ or start to experience lower flames than usual, please simply turn the burner control setting to low for 5­10 minutes, or replace the cylinder with a full one.

3 Ensure that you clean the bowl of your Outland Firebowl® after every use to keep it looking GREAT. Simply wipe the outer edge of the Firebowl with a damp paper towel or cloth to remove any combustion particulates.
