FIRE MEDIA INSTALLATION
Please follow the instructions below to add the finishing touch to your Fire Pit. Your Fire Pit needs fire
media in order to get the proper flame characteristics from the burner assembly. The media can
be decorative fire glass, fire pebbles, lava rock or other fire media specifically designed for outdoor
fire pits and fireplaces.
Fire media is not included with Fire Pit and must be purchased
separately.
DANGER
Do not block the pilot area or blow out box. The burner may be
lightly
covered by fire
media. Proper air flow is required in order to prevent suffocation and possible gas buildup. Incorrect
media installation will cause the pilot flame to suffocate and turn off the fire pit or delay main burner
ignition. If the main burner does not ignite quickly, gas can build up in the burner tray and ignite
violently.
Ignition of gas which has built up can create an unsafe condition, and may cause
injury or death, and may damage personal property. The deeper your decorative glass, fire
pebbles or lava rock, the more risk of reducing or smothering the flame from the burner
.
Decorative Glass or Fire Pebbles Application
1)
Install your Fire Pit per instructions.
2)
Apply decorative glass or fire pebbles just
deep enough to cover bottom of pan. Make sure
you do NOT cover the Blow Out Box.
