If the fire pit is already installed then remove all media 

before beginning installation and turn OFF gas supply.

Step #1  

Prepare the fire pit pan by first removing the two 

screws from the 1” x 2” metal cover plate exposing the     

rectangular hole then align the burner leg as shown in Fig. 2 

The inside edge of the burner leg should be approximately 

3/4-inch away from the inside edge of rectangular hole (See 

Fig. 1).

Step #2

 Remove the two stainless steel nuts from the probe 

assembly but leave it assembled, then carefully slide the   

orange and black wires from the top of the pan through 

square hole in the fire pit pan resting over the burner leg 

and install the screws through the existing holes of the cover 

plate (See Fig. 3).

Step #3 

Insert the two stainless steel screws from the probe 

assembly through the existing cover plate holes attach the 

two nuts previously removed and secure into place.  Ensure 

the assembly sits flat against the fire pit pan (See Fig. 4).

CAUTION:

 Ensure the probes are not touching the rain-

shield or the piezo will not spark at the tip of the probes.  If 

necessary you can adjust the rainshield by loosening the 

screw inside the rainshield bracket, pushing it down and  

retightening the screw. Fig. 3 shows proper spacing of probe 

to rainshield.

burner leg, not the top.   IF NOT, DO NOT USE!  THIS KIT
