    Do a leak test after each change of the cylinder.
    Never check for leaks with a match or open flame.

  • DANGER Carbon Monoxide Hazard

This appliance can produce carbon monoxide which has no odor. Using it in an enclosed space can cause injury or death.
For Outdoor Use Only (outside any enclosure). Never use this appli­ance in an enclosed space such as a camper, tent, car, or home.

DANGER If You Smell Gas
Close the valve of the gas cylinder or regulator.
Extinguish all naked flames, and do not operate any electrical appliances. Check for leaks as detailed in these instructions.

DANGER Do not use solid fuels in this appliance.
DANGER The maximum inlet gas supply pressure: Max. 250 PSI. Min 5 PSI
DANGER Do not use this appliance if any part has been submerged in water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been in contact with water.

DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
For outdoor use only. Never use inside the house or other unventilated or enclosed areas. This heater consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in unventilat­ed or enclosed areas to avoid endangering your life.

DANGER
EXPLOSION – FIRE HAZARD
Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources, or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C). Propane vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
Never install or remove propane cylinders while the heater is lighted, near flames, pilot lights, other ignition sources, or while the heater is hot to touch.
This heater is extremely hot during use and can ignite flammables too close to the burner. Keep flammables at least 36″ (91.44CM) from sides & 48″
(121.92CM) from top. Keep gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors away from the heater. The propane cylinder must always be stored outdoors in a well ventilated space. Never store propane cylinders in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If the heater is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane cylinder for outdoor storage.

WARNING
Surfaces of the fire pit can remain extremely hot for a period after use. Allow 45 minutes to cool down before touching or moving the fire pit.

WARNING
An LP cylinder not connected for use should not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

WARNING
WARNING: FUELS USED IN LIQUEFIED PROPANE GAS APPLIANCES, AND THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION OF SUCH FUELS CAN EXPOSE YOU TO CHEMICALS INCLUDING BENZENE, WHICH IS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.

Warnings-About Propane Cylinder

  • You must provide propane gas and a propane cylinder. Use a standard 20 lb. propane cylinder only.
  • Use this heater only with a propane vapor withdrawal supply system. See Chapter 5 of the Standard for Storage and Handling of Liquified Petro­leum Gas, ANSI/NFPA 58. Your local library or fire department should have this book.
  • The minimum permissible gas supply pressure of 10 W.C. is the required for purpose of input adjustment.
  • The minimum hourly of 50,000 Btu is the required input rating for a heater for automatic operation at ratings less than the full input rating.
  • The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used.
  • The installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l.
  • A dented, rusted or damaged propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your cylinder supplier. Never use a propane cylin­der with a damaged valve connection.
  • The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
  • Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
  • Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.

For appliances designed to use a CGA No.791 connection:

  • Place the dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet whenev­er the cylinder is not in use.
  • Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve that is provided with the cylinder valve.

GAS CYLINDER INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Installation
Use two or more people for an easier installation.

Location
Your fire pit must be installed on a flat, stable surface, away from any combustible materials or construction.

SET-UP

  1. Place fire pit on a leveled, outdoor, non-combustible surface. NOTE: Do not place the appliance on grass or dirt. This may prevent proper safety venting.
  2. Open door [I] and place the gas cylinder in the holder assembly.
  3. Turn the cylinder locking knob clockwise to secure the gas cylinder.
  4. Attach regulator to gas cylinder and turn clockwise by hand.
  5. Check your fire pit for leaks before use.

Leak Check
Your gas fire pit has been checked at all connections at the factory for leakage.
In transportation and handling, some connections may have loosened. Follow these steps to check the hose/regulator/cylinder connections:

  1. Make leakage solution by mixing 1 part liquld dish soap and 3 parts water
  2. Spoon or brush several drops (or use a squirt bottle) of the solution onto the hose/regulator/gas cylinder connection.
  3. Turn on the gas cylinder, then inspect the connections and look for bubbles.
  4. If no bubbles appear, the connection is safe.
  5. If bubbles appear, there is leakage. Loosen and re-tighten this connec­tion. If there is still a leak, please call customer service at 877-546-8648.

Note

  1. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
  2. The cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve.

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.
At least once a year, a complete inspection of the entire gas path compo­nents should be performed.
If there is a need to replace parts, proceed to leak test after reassembly (These procedures should be performed by a professional technician).

CREATE A FIRE PIT SAFE ZONE

CAUTION: WHEN CERTAIN MATERIALS OR ITEMS ARE LEFT ABOVE, BESIDE, OR UNDER THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IN USE, THEY WILL BE SUB­JECTED TO RADIANT HEAT AND COULD BE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.

  2. Turn the LP cylinder gas valve to the fully open position.
  3. Press down the control knob and turn it counter clockwise to the “MAX” position, this will light the burner. (You will hear 1 clicking noise.)
  4. If the burner is not lit immediately (within 5 seconds) press down the control knob and turn clockwise to the “OFF” position repeat step 3 after 5 minutes.
  5. When the burner is lit, turn the control knob to de­sired heat output position between “MAX” and “MIN”.

Flame Characteristic
Normally the burner flame is yellow.
If the burner flame is blue and very small. please check the gas cylinder, as it may be in low gas pressure or empty. If there is enough gas in the cylinder, please contact customer service to change the burner of the gas fire pit.

If flames lift away from the burner or a backfire, or thick black smoke is generated, the fire pit should be turned off immediately. The fire pit should not be operated again until the unit is serviced and/or repaired by a qualified service technician.

CAUTION: AVOID INHALING FUMES EMITTED FROM THE GAS APPLI­ANCE’S FIRST USE SMOKE AND ODOR FROM THE BURNING OF OILS USED IN MANUFACTURING WILL APPEAR BOTH SMOKE AND ODOR WILL DISSIPATE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES. THE GAS APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT PRODUCE THICK BLACK SMOKE.

NOTE:
The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the control knob to the “MIN” position. Then, turn the knob to the level of heat desired.

Re-light:

  1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
  2. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the appliance.
  3. Repeat steps beginning with step 3 of the lighting instruction on page 18.
