TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fuels used in gas fired appliances, and the products of combustion such as fuels, contain

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm.

This warning is issued pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.1

REV. 1-5-17 Page 3

Kalea Bay Outdoor Fireplace

All media (i.e. lava rock, lava stones, lava boulders and fire glass) has the potential of thermal spalling. This is a process that may

occur when media is wet and moisture gets trapped inside of the material due to rapid temperature differences. When this

happens the media has the potential to crack or “pop” outside the fireplace. Heavy rains, high humidity and the presence of

moisture can contribute to this process.

ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE FIREPLACE

Extra caution should be taken when lighting a fireplace when heavy rains, high humidity and moisture are present. Light the

fireplace; leave the area allowing any moisture in the media to dissipate. We strongly recommend that during this drying out time

that you monitor the fireplace from a distance. This drying out period should be no less than 30 minutes. Continue monitoring the

flame from distance to ensure that all popping has ceased before fully enjoying the fire.
