CARE & MAINTENANCE

1. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.

2. While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner and control compartment dry at all times. Do not submerge the control valve assembly. If the gas control is submerged in water, do NOT use it. It must be replaced. Make sure the fire pit has cooled completely before cleaning or covering it with a cover.

   B. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
   C. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
