9) Maintenance
Warning: Any guard or protective device removed for servicing must
be replaced prior to
operating the fire pit.
Warning: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. Fire pits
should be inspected prior to use and at least annually by a qualified
service person.
Warning: Ensure gas and power (if applicable) are shut off and fire
pit is cool before servicing.
•
Keep fire pit covered at all times when not in use.
•
Keep any debris out of fire pit- clean as needed.
•
In some areas of the country spiders or insects have been known
to build nest and or lay eggs in the venture holes of the air-mixer
for LP units. This can cause fuel to fill the fire feature cavity and
result in personal injury or property damage. Periodical inspection
by a qualified service technician of the air-intake is required to
ensure your fire feature performs properly.
•
Crossfire Jet Cleaning: (1 x YR) If flames exhibit any abnormal
shapes or behavior, or if burner fails to ignite properly, then the
burner holes may require cleaning. The appliance can be cleaned
by carefully removing the logs and media to allow access to
burner. Use a paperclip and carefully insert in jet to remove dust,
spider webs, and loose particles from base, logs, and crossfire
burner itself. If evidence of damage, crossfire burner must be
replaced with crossfire burner specified by manufacturer.
•
Thermocouple Cleaning of Soot: (1 x 6 mos. or as needed)
Remove lava rock & glass around pilot, then the blow out box lid.

damage hot wire element. Place lava rock or glass back as
explained in section 5.
