not use fire pit if there is any evidence of leaking gas. If leaking gas sus-
pected, turn off the main gas supply and repair.

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fire pit.
WARNING: Never use any material for media that is non-porous and
holds moisture such as gravel, pebbles, river rock, etc. This material, when
heated will cause the trapped moisture to boil, fracture unexpectedly and/
or explode and cause personal injury or damage.

of the fire pit that could interfere with safe operation. If there is any ques-
tions as to clearances, refer to fit pit clearances in your owner’s instructions
manual for specific clearance allowances.
WARNING: When fire pit is not in operation turn off gas valve.
WARNING: For electronic ignition systems – power supply must be turned
off to fire pit when not in operation.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Any guard or protective device removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the fire pit.
WARNING: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified technician. Fire
pits should be inspected prior to each use and inspected at least once annually
by a qualified gas appliance service professional.
WARNING: Ensure gas and power (if applicable) are shut off and fire pit is cool
before servicing.
Keep fire pit covered at all times when not in use.
Keep any debris out of fire pit- clean as needed. If debris is found, remove before
lighting system.
In some areas of the country, spiders or insects have been known to build nests
and/ or lay eggs in the gas orifices at the bottom of the jets. This can cause fuel
to fill the fire feature cavity and result in personal injury or property damage.
Periodical inspection by a qualified service technician of the air-intake is required
to ensure your fire feature performs properly.

TM
Jet Orifice Cleaning: Once a year, if flames exhibit any abnormal
shapes or behavior, or if burner fails to ignite properly, then the burner holes
located in bottom of gas jet orifices may require cleaning. The appliance can be
cleaned by carefully removing the logs and media to allow access to burner. Use
a brush to carefully remove dust, spider webs and loose particles. Use a wire or
puncture tool and carefully insert in jet. Tool should be size of a small paper clip.
If evidence of damage, burner must be replaced with the appropriate CROSS-
FIRE
TM
burner specified by manufacturer.
Thermocouple Cleaning of Soot: Every six months or as needed. Remove lava
rock & glass around pilot, then the wind cage (screen around the pilot). Clean
thermocouple of any soot using soft brush. Be careful not to damage the hot wire
element. Place lava rock or glass back as explained in the Section Media Installa-
tion in Owners Installation Manual.
Visual inspection of pilot and pilot assembly: The pilot assembly should be free
