Turn on main gas supply and check all fittings in and around fire pit for leaks using a leak
reactant, leak detector or soapy water. If leaks are found, shut off gas supply repair leaks and
retest.
•
The 3’ power cord can be either tied into the main power supply for use with wall switch or
directly plugged into an outlet to use remotely.
COMPLETE FIREPIT OPERATION
WARNING:
BEFORE USE, BE SURE TO TEST ALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS. DO NOT USE
FIRE PIT IF THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE OF LEAKING GAS. IF LEAKING GAS IS SUSPECTED, TURN
OFF THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY AND REPAIR IMMEDIATELY.
WARNING:
WHEN FIRE PIT IS NOT IN OPERATION, ELECTRIC POWER AND GAS SUPPLY MUST
BE TURNED OFF AT LOCATION OUTSIDE ENCLOSURE.
WARNING:
NEVER USE ANY MATERIAL THAT IS NON-POROUS AND HOLDS MOISTURE LIKE
GRAVEL, PEBBLES, RIVER ROCK, ETC. THIS MATERIAL, WHEN HEATED WILL CAUSE THE
TRAPPED MOISTURE TO BOIL, AND FRACTURE UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS MATERIAL IS NOT
SUFFICIENTLY POROUS TO ALLOW HEATED STEAM TO READILY ESCAPE WHICH CAN BREAK
AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE.
WARNING:
LEAVES, STICKS, WOOD, PAPER, CLOTHING, FOOD MATERIAL, SHOULD ALWAYS
BE KEPT AWAY FROM THE FIREPIT. MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO VEGITATION OR OTHER
OBJECTS OVER THE TOP OR SIDES OF THE FIREPIT THAT COULD INTERFERE WITH SAFE &
PROPER OPERATION.
WARNING:
IF LAVA ROCK IS WET, ALLOW FIRE PIT TO BURN FOR 45 MINUTES PRIOR TO
COMING 15 FEET WITHIN FIRE PIT.
Fire Pit Start Up:
NOTE- Delayed Ignition: Firepit ignition is delayed 5 seconds after remote or wall switch is turned ON
due to hot surface igniter warm up. Fire pit will automatically restart up to 2 attempts, then go to lock
out.
Initial Start Up:
Several “on / off” cycles may be necessary to purge air in gas lines after pit
installation. On pits built for LP (propane) usage, adjust air mixer under pan- turn nut to increase or reduce air
mixture to gas.
Normal Operation:
1)
Turn “on” electrical power and gas to fire pit.
2)
Confirm there is no debris in fire pit (as mentioned in warnings) including water.
3)
Using remote or wall switch, turn “on” firepit- this may take a few cycles to purge any air.
4)
Once fire pit has ignited, do NOT leave unattended.
OVERHEATING: The firepit will automatically close gas valve if temperature exceeds 175º F inside
valve box to prevent component damage. When unit cools below 175º F, the unit will automatically
restart. To correct overheating, ensure enclosure has adequate ventilation- see “Construction of
Enclosure”.
Fire Pit Shutdown:
1)
Turn “off” fire pit using remote or wall switch.
2)
Turn “off” electrical power and gas to fire pit.
3)
Once fire pit has cooled completely, use appropriate cover to protect fire pit.
Fire Pit Maintenance:
1)
Keep fire pit covered at all times when not in use.
2)
Keep any debris out of fire pit- clean as needed.
3)
Flame Sensor Cleaning of Soot:
Remove lava rock. Clean flame sensor and spark igniter of any soot.
Be careful not to damage ceramic insulators or hot surface ignition element. Place lava rock or glass
back as explained on Pg. 5.
For LP usage, this will be every ~15 hrs. of use is normal; for Natural
Gas usage, this will be every ~50 hrs of use is normal.
