• Do not set any additional imitation blocks nor any glowing coal fragments on the burner or in the combustion chamber.

• A CO2 or a powder fire extinguisher needs to be placed near the device.

• During the first ignition The Rio Table fireplace needs to be burnt on maximum level for a few hours in order for the elements to acquire correct temperature and for the remains of paint, lacquer and lubricant to evaporate.

• Do not move the device while it’s working.

• Rio Table has been designed for decorative purposes. The surface of The Rio Table fireplace including the glass screens may get hot (up to 100 degrees Celsius) with the exception of the side walls of the appliance and the control panel. WARNING!!! Parts of  the device that are easy to reach may be very hot. Keep children away from the device.

• Glass panels must be installed when Rio Table is in use.

• This appliance must be kept away from flammable materials during use. Do not place any combustible materials within a distance of 1 m of Rio Table and 2 m over the appliance (Fig. 1).
  

• When The Rio Table fireplace is on it’s not to be exposed to rain.

• When not being used The Rio Table is to be protected from atmospheric conditions and the main valve of the gas cylinder needs to be turned off.

• If The Rio Table is not in use for a longer period of time (e.g. winter time), we advise you to store it inside.

• The Rio Table fireplace’s parts are made of stain resistant material.

• Never leave a turned on Rio Table without supervision.

• The Rio Table fireplace needs to be installed in a place inaccessible for children, unauthorised persons or animals for the direct contact with the flame or hot parts of the device to be impossible.

• In case of heavy wind The Rio Table fireplace needs to be immediately turned off and one needs to wait until the heavy wind passes.

• In case of noticing any sort of gas leaks the fireplace as well as the main valve of the gas cylinder need to be turned off.

• After use turn off the gas cylinder valve.

• Salty seawater environment accelerates the corrosion process and contributes to fireplace damage

2.1 Safety instruction regarding the use of the gas cylinders.

• Use only the type of gas and pressure specified by the manufacturer.

• The gas cylinders should always be placed in a vertical position – during use and transport.

• Always store the gas cylinder in an easily accessible place to allow its immediate turn-off.

• During the installation process do not allow an open flame or any ignited object to reach the gas cylinder.
  The gas cylinder should be in a distance not shorter than 1,5 metres away from The Rio Table fireplace or in accordance to local regulations.

• Leaks should be found with the use of a cleaning liquid and water. If bubbles form on the surface that means that a there’s an existing leak.

• Always use a pressure regulator between the gas bottle and the device. Replace the pressure regulator every 5 years. The allowed pressures are: 30mbar, 37mbar (recommended), 50 mbar. Use only regulators complying with the European EN16129 Norm.

• Use only approved and certified gas connection linkage. Replace the linkage every 2 years.

• The elastic linkage connecting gas to the fireplace is to be led away from sharp edges and hot surfaces. Refrain from bends and twists of the elastic connection on its full length.

• Remember that the LPG bottle should be stored in a well-ventilated place. LPG gas is heavier than air and its accumulation near the bottom surface may generate an explosive mixture.

• The housing in which the LPG bottle is (optionally) placed needs to have an appropriate ventilation. The housing needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area of the base of the housing) and a lower  ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the housing).

• The gas cylinder needs to be shut if the fireplace is not being used.

• Filling the gas cylinders is to be commissioned to certified gas filling stations.

• Replacement of empty cylinders for full ones is to be conducted only in authorised locations

3.4. Gas cylinder montage (only LPG version)

• The gas linkage attached to the device allows to place the gas bottle maximally 3 meters away from the connected control panel, however it cannot be placed closer to the device than 1,5 meters. You can follow the local regulations if it provide different  distance requires.
  

• The optional housing for the gas bottle cannot be airtight and has to be correctly ventilated. The housing needs to have an upper ventilation slot above the top of the bottle (of an area min 1/100 of the area of the base of the housing) and a lower ventilation slot (of an area min 1/50 of the area of the base of the housing). The dimensions of the housing may vary to accommodate different types and dimensions of the gas bottles however they also have to be sufficient for hassle-free installation of the gas bottle.

3.5. Installation of the gas linkage
WARNING!!! The montage and service needs to be conducted by a qualified professional, a company or the gas supplier.
Before proceeding with the connection of the gas cylinder to the fireplace all activity regarding the correct placement and installation of The Rio Table needs to be already performed. Place the gas linkage away from hot or sharp edges and make sure it is not  twisted.

3.5.1. Connection and replacement of the gas cylinder (LPG version)
The Rio Table is delivered together with an elastic gas linkage which, on one end is connected to the valve of the device and one the other end to the gas regulator ready to be connected to the gas cylinder.

Pressure reducer type| Country| Connection Type| Inlet Diameter| Output
---|---|---|---|---
Type A| FR, UK, IE| Clip On| 27 mm| G1/4″-LH
Type B| ES, DK, NO, FI, EE, PT, CY| Clip On| 35 mm| G1/4″-LH
Type C| PL, DE, LT, AL, BE, CZ, SK, SI, LV, HR, CH, UA, RS, MK, BiH| Twist On| 23 mm| G1/4″-LH
Type D| IT, GR| Twist On| 20 mm| G1/4″-LH

If your gas cylinder has a different inlet size or requires a different regulator, replace the included regulator with the required one (available separately at your local market)
WARNING!!! NEVER use an unstable gas connection or a regulator for other gas pressure.
Gas cylinders have two types of connectors:

• Twist-on connection: The most important thing is the black seal. Always check if the seal is present and that it hasn’t been damaged during the gas cylinder replacement. Some connections have a knob to fasten them in place while others require the use of a wrench. Tighten securely (left thread). Using the tool pay attention not to fasten the connection too tightly as this may damage the seal.
• Quick-release: For this type of connection no tool is required. On/off regulation of gas connection is made through a switch on the regulator or on a special connector. In case of using a connector with a thread regulator of an old type put a special emphasis  on checking if the connecting nut has been tightly fastened with the help of wrench.

Gas cylinder connection

1. Check if the bottle valve is TURNED OFF turning it clockwise
2. Remove the protection tip and store it for later use.| 1. Remove the protection tip. Do not use any tools, leave the tip hanging freely.
3. Before making the connection check if the black seal is not damaged.
| 2. Make sure all the taps on the gas device are closed and if the switch in in the OFF position.

4. Fit the connecting nut to the cylinder with the use of a correct wrench or the connecting knob. (left thread) Do not allow the gas bottle  connectors to be fastened too tightly.
| 3. Place the quick-release regulator on the valve and press it down hard. If the switch is correctly turned off you will hear a characteristic click.

5. When the gas flow is required turn the valve of the bottle counter- clockwise. | 4. To let the gas flow in turn the switch into the ON position (or into the flame image).

• Place the gas bottle in a correct distance from the fireplace (min 1,5 metres away).

WARNING!!! Check the gas connection for leakage. If anything suggests a leak is present (for instance a characteristic gas smell) close the gas bottle valve and under no circumstances turn the device on before removing the leak. (See point 5.1).

• After removing the leak one may open the gas bottle valve again.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4.1. General Notes
The Rio Table fireplace has a control valve with a built-in ignition for the main burner (without pilot flame). The flame height of the main burner may be appropriately regulated with by turning the knob. Next to the knob is placed elective ignition button  (powered by AAA battery). The control panel is placed on one of the shorter sides of the base of the fireplace.

4.2 Start-up of the device

• Make sure that the knob is placed in „OFF” position (all the way clockwise).

• Open the valve on gas cylinder.

• Press the knob and while still pressing turn it counter-clockwise from position (1) to position (2)

• While keeping the knob still pressed start the flame by pressing the ignition button (3).

• A spark will appear which ignites the main burner on the minimum flame height. If the flame did not ignite repeat this process 2-3 times. This will be required especially when you have replaced and installed a new LPG gas cylinder.

• When the flame is ignited keep holding the knob for around 5 seconds until the thermo-couple, which will keep the main valve in an open position, warms up.

• You may now release the knob. If however the flame is extinguished repeat the process once again until a stable flame is achieved.

WARNING!!! After 2-3 unsuccessful attempts terminate and check the connections. Try again in 10 minutes. If the installed gas bottle is new or the fireplace has not been used for a longer pe Rio Tabled the first thing that needs to be done is to release air from  the gas linkage. In this case conducting a few attempts will be needed until the flame is ignited.
4.3 Regulation of the flame size

• When the flame is burning the desired height of the flame may be adjusted and regulated by turning the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise.
• To achieve a higher flame turn the know clockwise to “Hi” position. To achieve a lower flame turn the knob counter- clockwise to “Lo” position (Fig. 9).

4.4 Device shutdown

• To turn off the device, simultaneously press and turn the knob all the way clockwise. The gas supply will be cut and the flame on burner will be turned off.

• Additionally, close also the valve on the gas cylinder.

4.5 Replacing the battery
If the battery is inserted incorrectly, the electronic ignitor may be irreparably damaged. Only replace the battery when the appliance has been completely switched off.
The battery is placed in the container located on the control pane next to the flame regulation knob

• Unscrew the ignition button

• Remove the battery and place the new one into the slot.
  WARNING! Remember about proper polarization of the battery.

• Screw the cover of the battery container.

TESTING

WARNING!!! NEVER TURN ON THE DEVICE IF THE CHARACTERISTIC SMELL OF GAS IS PERCEPTIBLE.
If you smell gas during the operation of the fireplace turn off the device immediately and cut off the gas supply from the gas cylinder by shutting its valve.
5.1 Checking for gas leaks.

• Check if all connections are airtight.
• To do that apply all connections with soapy water (or water with another foamy substance) or with a professional spray for leak detection.
• If air-bubbles are present that means the connection has a leak.
•  Remove the leaks in the identified spaces.
• Check for leaks once again.
• After the inspection dry the inspected connections.
• The device may only be used again after all leaks are removed.
• If the problem happens again please contact the dealer.

5.2 Checking the flame appearance.

• Burn The Rio Table on max flame height and check the appearance of the flame.
• The flame should be linear and evenly placed on the whole length of the main burner.
• If visible gaps are present or there are substantial differences in flame height turn off the fireplace and after the device is cooled adjust the placement of decorative stones in such a way for them to be evenly placed on the whole surface of the main burner.
• Turn on the fireplace and check the appearance of the flame once again.

MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP

6.1. Testing and cleaning
Please check and clean if necessary:

• The main burner – if necessary, remove broken parts of stones and the existing dust.
• Thermo-couple (if necessary, remove the existing sediment). In the event of visible damage contact your dealer.
• Glass screens – check for dirt smudges or possible scratches or cracks. If cracks are present replace the glass screen for a new one. To conduct this contact your dealer.
• Gas linkage and pressure regulator (in case their expiry date is invalid replace these ancillaries for new ones).
• If you encountered problems with the regulator, gas linkage, burner or regulation valves do not try to fix these parts. Contact a sales person, an authorised service or an importer in order to acquire spare parts. To ensure the device is working efficiently use only original spare parts.

6.2. Glass cleaning
Most of the existing types of smudges may be wiped with a dry cloth. In case of more substantial smudge you may use liquids normally applied to ceramic tiles or windows. Always dry the glass screen to avoid damp patches which could irreversibly embed into  the glass.
WARNING!!! Avoid leaving fingerprints on the glass. They will be embedded into the glass and you will not be able to clean them.
