• Never leave the fire pit unattended when hot or in use. Keep out of reach of children.

DANGER EXPLOSION-FIRE HAZARD

• Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper, or cardboard a safe distance away from the fire pit as recommended by the instructions.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings in the combustion chamber. Never use the fire pit in spaces that do or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles, or unknown chemicals.
• During operation, this appliance can be a source of ignition. Keep the fire pit area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other flammable vapours and liquids. Do not use fire pits in areas with high dust content.
• Minimum fire pit clearances from combustible materials: 2 feet (24 inches) from the sides & 2 feet (24 inches) from the rear, 6 feet (72 inches) from the ceiling.
• Never store propane near high heat, open flames, pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C).
• Propane vapours are heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the area immediately.
• Never install or remove a propane cylinder while the fire pit is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, or other ignition sources or while the fire pit is hot to the touch.
• This fire pit is red-hot during use and can ignite flammables too close to the burner. Keep flammables at least 6 feet (72 inches) from the top and 2 feet (24 inches) from the sides. Keep gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapours well away from the fire pit.
