TOLUCA FIRE TABLE OWNER’S MANUAL
13
WARNING: DO NOT USE SOLID FUEL, SUCH
AS WOOD OR CHARCOAL, IN GAS FUELED
FIRE TABLES.
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When the first
lighting the burner, it will take a few seconds for the
lines to purge themselves of this air.
Once the purging is complete, the burner will light
and operate as indicated in the instruction manual
Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not require
purging unless the gas supply has been disconnected.
Inspect the gas hose before each use of the fire
table. If the hose shows evidence of excessive
abrasion or wear or if the hose is damaged, it must
be replaced before using the fire table.
Inspect the burner before each use of the appliance.
If there is any evidence that the burner is damaged,
it must replaced before operating. Upon completing
the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be
in the lines. When first lighting the burner, it will take
a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of
this air. Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not
require such purging.
Never allow the ON/OFF valve to remain in the open
position without placing a burning match on top of
the burner
FIRST!
You must have clear and easy access to the ON/OFF
valve
AFTER
the appliance is installed and connected
to the gas supply in order to safely turn of the burner.
Make sure the burner is in place prior to using
the appliance. If the burner is damaged, install
a replacement burner as specified by the
manufacturer.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
• Before operating the fire table, smell
around the appliance area for gas
odors. Be sure to smell the surrounding
floor area as some gases are heavier
than air and will settle on the ground.
• Use only your hand to turn the manual
gas control valve. Never use tools. If
the valve will not 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.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the ON/OFF valve located on
the side of fire table completely to
the
ON
position.
2. Make sure fuel supply (LP or NG) is
properly connected and turned on
at the source. This will be either the
LP tank or the NG valve.
3. When you hear gas flowing, use
either a long stem wooden match
or a butane fireplace lighter to
place a flame near the burner.
4. If the burner does not light, does
not stay lit, or the flame is very
low, shut off the gas supply and
wait five minutes to allow all fumes
to clear. Start again from
Step
1,
making sure all gas valves are
completely opened.
TURNING OFF GAS
For NG Units:
Turn the ON/OFF valve to the
OFF
position at the unit for natural gas unit, then close
the valve at the NG source.
For Propane Units:
Turn the ON/OFF valve to the
OFF
position at the unit and then close the valve on
the propane tank.
NOTE
The propane regulator in this appliance is equipped
with a low flow protection device. Unless the propane
cylinder valve is opened before the valve, the gas flow
will be reduced resulting in a very small flame.
To reset this device, shut off the valve, disconnect
the hose from the cylinder to relieve the pressure,
then close the propane cylinder valve.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
REMEDY
Will not light
Air in gas line
If new install, may take several
attempts to purge air
Debris in gas line
Confirm gas line is clear
(insulation, dirt, plastic,
excessive pipe sealer, etc.)
Improper gas pressure
Confirm proper gas pressure
Will not stay lit
Improper gas pressure
Confirm proper gas pressure
Improperly applied media
Review media application
Noise
Note:
The movement and
combustion of gas will
create low, unavoidable
levels of noise.
Passage of air/gas across
irregular surfaces
Remove any tight bends or
kinks in gas supply line
Excessive gas pressure on
natural gas units
Check or reset gas regulator
pressure
Unit is smoking/sooting
excessively
Note:
It is natural and
unavoidable for appliance
sets to produce moderate
levels of carbon (soot)
where flames contact
the media
Poor fuel quality
Contact local natural gas
company
Excessive flame impingement
or blockage
Separate the media to allow
more flame passage
Improper fuel and/or air
mixture
Remove any foreign items from
the flame pattern and check for
proper orifice sizing
Burner flame is too low or
too high
Incorrect gas supply or
pressure
Check for proper gas supply
pressure
Blocked burner orifice or
burner ports
Free burner orifice and burner
ports of any debris or blockage
Improper burner orifice size
Verify proper burner orifice
sizing
Unit produces unwanted
odors
Gas leak, see
Warning
Statement
Check for and seal all gas leaks
