Initial Lighting:
On first operation, the appliance may emit a slight odor. This is a normal and temporary condition caused by the burning off of
oils used in manufacturing. Simply allow the burner to run on high for approximately one-half hour.
BEFORE LIGHTING
NOTE:
This model has an electronic igniter and requires
the installation of one AAA battery behind the igniter button.
□
Smell all around the unit area for gas. Be sure to smell near the floor, because gas is heavier than air and will settle to the lowest
point. If you smell gas, shut off the gas to the appliance, extinguish any open flame, and if odor persists, call your gas supplier or the
fire department.
□
Fire pit should be thoroughly inspected before each use, and by a qualified person at least annually. Suspect areas should be leak
tested. If the hose leaks, it must be replaced prior to operation. Only use a replacement hose assembly specified by the manufacturer.
□
If relighting a hot fire pit, always wait at least five minutes for lingering gas to dissipate.
LIGHTING
□
Turn the control knob to "OFF" position.
□
Fully open LPG cylinder valve.
□
Depress and turn the control knob to "LO" to begin the ignition sequence.
□
Depress and turn the control knob counterclockwise to "HI". While depressing the control knob, push the electronic ignition button to
ignite the burner. (The ignition will produce a soft snapping/crackling sound. If the fire pit does not light and there is no snapping sound,
replace the battery.)
□
After the fire pit lights, wait 45 seconds, then release the control knob.
□
Observe the flame height when lit. Flame should mostly vary between 3 in. and 13 in. in height. Overly short or tall flame can indicate a
problem.
□
To decrease the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to "LO". To increase the flame, turn the control knob counterclockwise to "HI".
NOTE:
Use only your hand to depress or turn the control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not depress or turn by hand, DO NOT try to
repair it. Call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion and will void the warranty.
NOTE:
If burner fails to remain lit, close all valves and wait at
least 5 minutes before attempting to relight.
SHUT DOWN
□
To extinguish the burner, depress the control knob and turn it clockwise to OFF.
□
Turn the cylinder valve clockwise to OFF.
□
Disconnect the regulator when the fire pit is not in use.
POST-OPERATION CHECKLIST
□
Gas control knob is in OFF position.
□
Gas tank valve is off.
□
Gas line is disconnected.
□
Fire pit is allowed to cool before touching, cleaning, or covering.
