STEP 8: TROUBLESHOOTING
GOT A LOW FLAME?
:
If your firebowl experiences low flame, or flame height does not appear to be normally adjusted by the gas knob, it
is likely that the gas cylinder is low in fuel, or the excess flow safety device has been tripped in the gas regulator.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
a. Confirm your gas cylinder is NOT empty.
b. Close the propane cylinder valve.
c. Open and then close the appliance gas knob valve to release pressure.
d. Be sure the appliance valve is OFF.
e. Disconnect the gas hose from the propane cylinder.
f. Gently tap the gas regulator housing on the ground once or twice.
g. Reconnect the gas hose to the propane cylinder.
h. Slowly and fully open the propane cylinder valve.
i. Perform a Leak Test and follow the Ignition sequence.
TIP:
Try tapping the regulator on the ground or hard surface 3 times. Sometimes, this will reset the safety device in the regulator.

WHAT IS AN EXCESS FLOW SAFETY VALVE? (EFV)
The EFV is a safety mechanism contained within the gas regulator.
The purpose of the EFV is to restrict the gas supply if too much gas
is flowing too quickly through the gas hose. For example this could
happen if the gas hose was severed. It is normal that your Firebowl
EFV trips if you open the propane tank valve too quickly or if you leave
the Firebowl gas knob open before lighting, or both.
If there are no flames present,
as demonstrated in the image
to the left, the appliance is likely
not burning. If this is the case,
IMMEDIATELY turn the appliance
valve to the “off” position if it
is not already and repeat the
ignition procedure as outlined in
Section 2.
Upon igniting the appliance,
visually verify that the burner is
indeed burning as demonstrated
in the image to the left. The
presence of flames will confirm
that the burner is burning.
Periodically check that the burner
flame is present during operation
by visually inspecting the burner to ensure the presence of flames.
