Figure 7 - Checking Gas Joints
SETUP
Your Comfort Glow Patio Fire is designed
to operate with lava rock piled in and around
the burner, and refractory logs placed on top
of the lava rock.
Carefully pour supplied lava rock into basin
to cover the burner. Be sure that the burner
and burner ports are covered completely by
lava rock to better disperse the flame and to
create a more natural looking fire.
Place the six refractory logs on top of the
lava rock. The arrangement is left to your
personal preference. Try different place-
ments to achieve your desired flame pattern.
Note:
Sooting on the logs is natural. You
may clean with a soft bristle brush.
CAUTION: Place lava rock
carefully. Be careful not to dam-
age the burner, ignitor electrode,
or thermocouple when adding the
lava rock.
WARNING: Allow logs and
lava rock to cool completely be-
fore handling or rearranging logs.
WARNING: Solid fuels shall
not be burned in this gas fireplace.

READ BEFORE
LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not fol-
low these instructions exactly, a
fire or explosion may result caus-
ing property damage, personal
injury, or loss of life.
BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next
to the ground because some gas is heavier
than air and will settle on the ground.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier
from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the
gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas sup-
plier, call the fire department.
WARNING: Do not use this
appliance if any gas control parts
have been under water. Immedi-
ately call a qualified service per-
son to inspect the Patio Fire and
replace any part of the control
system and any gas control that
has been under water.
WARNING: All gas burning
appliances may produce smoke,
soot, or carbon monoxide during
operation. These fumes can be
harmful if the appliance is used
anywhere other than in an open
air, fully-vented area.
