Maintenance
Air flow through the fire pit must remain unobstructed. Keep ventilation openings, controls, burner, and air passages
clean and clear of debris. Signs of possible blockage include the following:
o
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
o
Fire pit does not reach the desired temperature.
o
Fire pit glow is excessively uneven.
o
Fire pit makes popping noises.
□
Spiders and insects can nest in the burner or other openings. This dangerous condition can damage the fire pit
and render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear
away smaller particles.
Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean the dome and burner screen with warm soapy water if
any carbon deposits develop.
