• 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).

while the fire pit is lighted,

near flame, pilot

lights, or other ignition sources or while fire pit is
hot to the touch.

WARNING / DANGER

WARNING/DANGER indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.

WARNING:

FOR OUTDOOR USE ON

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This fire pit is a combustion appliance. All

combustion appliances produce carbon
monoxide (CO) during the combustion process.
This product is designed to produce extremely
minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used
and maintained in accordance with all warnings
and instructions. Do not block air flow into or out
of the fire pit.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-

like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches,
dizziness, fatigue and possibly death. You can’t
see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an invisible killer.
If these symptoms are present during operation
of this product get fresh air immediately!

• For outdoor use only.

Using

this fire pit in an enclosed
space can kill you. Never use this
fire pit in an enclosed space such
as a camper, tent,

home

, or other unventilated or

enclosed area.

• This fire pit consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in

unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid
endangering your life.

WARNING

• This fire pit

is fueled by propane gas

Propane gas

is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant
is normally added to help detect leaks and can be
described as having a "rotten egg" smell. The
odorant can fade over time so leaking gas is not
always detectable by smell alone.

•

Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking

propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It
can ignite by ignition sources including matches,
lighters, sparks, or open flames of any kind many
feet away from the original leak. Use only
propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.

•

Store or use propane gas in compliance with

local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA
58. Turn off propane when not in use.

Solid fuels shall not be burned in this appliance.

WARNING

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