OPERATION

WARNING
Never use this appliance for other than the intended use. DO NOT use this appliance to prepare food.

Initial Lighting:
When lit for the first time, the appliance emits a slight odour. This is a temporary condition caused by paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process but does not occur again. Simply run the main burner on high for approximately 30 minutes.

WARNING

  • Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away from the appliance to avoid burns or clothing ignition. The appliance comes with a heat shield which is an important safety component pre­venting contact with the fire bowl when adjusting the propane valve.
  • Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of the appliance.
  • Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung from the appliance, or placed on or near the appliance. The area above the fire pit may be extremely hot. Direct contact with these surfaces should be avoided to prevent burns or clothing ignition.
  • Any guard or protective device removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced before operating the appliance. Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.
  • The appliance should be inspected before each use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required necessary. The control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance must be kept clean.

WARNING

  • Never use the appliance while it is raining. Always turn the appliance off when raining.
  • Never use the appliance if the burner is damaged. Inspect the burner before each use. Ensure that no debris such as leaves, grass or other objects has entered or is on the appliance. If the burner is damaged, it must be replaced before using this appli­ance with a replacement burner specified by the manufacturer.
  • Inspect the hose assembly before each use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is damaged, it must be replaced before using the appliance with a replacement hose assembly specified by the manufacturer.

WARNING

  • Any modification to the appliance may compromise the safety of this appliance. Special concern is as follows:
  • Do not bypass the thermocouple safety.
  • Do not operate the appliance if any parts have been underwater. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system, and any gas control, which has been under water.

LEAK TESTING OPERATION

WARNING

  • A leak test must be performed annually or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
  • Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames are in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.

LEAK TESTING:

  1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak detection solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
  2. Make sure all fire pit and light valves are OFF.
  3. Apply several drops of solution where the hose attaches to the regulator.
  4. Apply several drops of solution where the regulator connects to the cylinder.
  5. Turn the cylinder valve ON.

If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak:

  1. Turn the cylinder valve OFF.
  2. If the leak is at the hose/regulator connection: tighten the connection and perform another leak test. If bubbles continue appearing, please contact product support for assistance.
  3. If the leak is at the regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak test. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, the cylinder valve is defective. Please contact product support for assistance.

If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.

NOTE:
Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.

LIGHTING

CAUTION

  • Keep the outdoor gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.
  • Do NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
  • Check and clean burner /venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire.
  1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the fire pit table.
  2. The control knob must be in the “OFF” position (Figure 1 ).
  3. Fully open the LP cylinder valve.
  4. Push in the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the “ON” position (Figure 2). Hold it in the “ON” position for about 3-5 seconds, then let it go.
  5. Press the igniter button to light the flame.
  6. Adjust the flame to the desired height with the control knob. Visually check the burner flames as pictured below (Figure 3).

WARNING

  • If the burner does not light within 1 0 seconds, turn the valve off and wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before repeating the procedure.
  • The surface of the fire pit table can remain extremely hot for a period after use. Allow 45 minutes to cool and dissipate before covering or next use.Ciays-CIFPT4B-32-Inch-Outdoor-Gas-Fire-Pit-fig- \(22\)

SHUT DOWN

  1. Push in the control knob and turn it clockwise to the “OFF” position to turn off the burner.
  2. Fully close the LP cylinder valve.

MAINTENANCE

Storage between uses:

  1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
  2. Disconnect LP source.
  3. Store the fire pit table upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris).
  4. If desired, cover the fire pit table to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent clogged air passages.

NOTE: Wait until the fire pit is cool before covering.

Storage during periods of extended inactivity or when transporting:

  1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
  2. Disconnect the LP source and move to a secure, well-ventilated location outdoors. DO NOT store in a location that will exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).
  3. Store the fire pit table upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather (such as rain, sleet, hail, snow, dust and debris).
  4. If desired, cover the fire pit table to protect exterior surfaces and to help prevent clogged air passages.

NOTE: Wait until the fire pit table is cool before covering.

CARE AND CLEANING

To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your fire pit table, make sure you perform the following maintenance activities regularly:

  1. Keep exterior surface clean.
  2. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
  3. While washing your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner dry at all times. If the gas control is exposed to water, do NOT try to use it. It must be replaced.
  4. Keep the appliance area free and clean from combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids.
  5. At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects.
  6. Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:
    • Gas odour with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
    • The fire pit table does NOT reach the desired temperature.
    • The heat glow is excessively uneven.
    • Heat makes popping noises.
  7. Spiders and insects can nest in burners or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the fire pit table and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles.
  8. Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean the reflector, thermocouple, and emitter screen with a dry cloth if any carbon deposits develop.
  9. The burner is made from stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive environment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush. Inspect the burner at least annually for cracks, insect nests, excessive corrosion or any other damage. If the burner is damaged, it must be replaced with a burner specified by the manufacturer before the appliance is put into operation.
