ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

Failure to position parts 

in accordance with these 

diagrams and instructions 

and/or failure to use parts 

specifically approved for 

use with this appliance may 

result in property damage or 

personal injury.

Do not remove the data 

plates attached to the 

Outdoor Fire Pit Burner. 

These plates contain 

important information.

NOTICE: 

Installation and repair should 

be done by a qualified service 

person. The appliance should 

be inspected before use 

and at least once annually 

by a qualified service 

person. More frequent 

cleaning may be required as 

necessary. It is imperative 

that control compartment, 

burner ports and circulating 

air passageways of the 

appliance be kept clean.

CAUTION: 

New Lava Rock may pop or 

crackle when first heated. 

This should subside after 30 

minutes to one hour or more 

of operation. Maintain safe 

distance during this time.

TO ASSEMBLE THE FIRE PIT

1.  Connect the Burner Assembly to the gas/propane supply 

using the supplied flex connector and following the 

instructions on page 8.

2.  Carefully leak test all connections following the procedure 

on page 8.

3.  Cover the burner evenly and completely with burner 

media (crushed tempered glass for natural gas; volcanic 

rock for propane). Do not obstruct the pilot lighting port 

with burner media! Use only burner media supplied by 

Paloform!

4.  Follow the Initial Lighting Instructions on page 9. Make 

sure that the flame carries to all parts of the burner. Turn 

OFF the appliance and let it cool before proceeding to the 

next step.

5.  Evenly distribute decorative topping (river stones, crushed 

glass or lava rock) on top of burner media. An uneven or 

excessively thick layer of topping can result in an uneven 

flame. Place boulders if applicable.

6.  Do not cover pilot shield. Keep the lighting port open and 

free of media. Do not use any media not supplied by the 

manufacturer!
