Any guard or protective device removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the 
appliance.  

 

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.  

 

The appliance should be inspected before each use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More 
frequent cleaning may be required, as necessary. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners and 
circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.  

 

Never use the appliance while it is raining.  

 

Always turn the appliance off when raining.  

 

Never splash any liquid on the glass / glass embers when the appliance is operating.  

 

The glass / glass embers will be extremely hot while operating, never try to touch them.  

 

Always ensure the appliance stands firmly on level ground.  

 

Never use the appliance if the burner is damaged. Inspect the burner before each use. Ensure that no debris 
such as leaves; grass or other objects have entered or are on the appliance. If the burner is damaged, it must 
be replaced prior to using the appliance with a replacement burner specified by your Flare dealer.  

 

Inspect the hose assembly before each use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is 
damaged it must be replaced prior to using the appliance with a replacement hose assembly specified by your 
Flare dealer.  

 

 

To avoid the possibility of burns conversions should only be done when the appliance is cool. Ensure the 
burner is turned off. Turn the gas off at source and disconnect the appliance before beginning conversion.

 

 

 

Glass embers may have sharp edges wear safety glasses and gloves when handling. 

 

 

This conversion must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be 

leak tested before operating the appliance.
