IXTAPA FIRE TABLE OWNER’S MANUAL
13
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When operating the
burner for the first time, it will take a few seconds for
the lines to purge themselves of this air.
Once cleared of air, the burner will light and operate
as indicated in the instructions. Subsequent uses
of the appliance will not require purging the lines
unless the gas supply has been disconnected.
Inspect the gas hose before each use of the fire
table. If the hose shows evidence of excessive
abrasion, wear or any other damage, it must be
replaced before using the fire table.
Inspect the burner before each use of the fire table.
If there is any evidence that the burner is damaged,
it must replaced before operating.
Never allow the ON/OFF valve to remain in the open
position without placing a burning match on top of
the burner
FIRST!
In order to safely turn off the burner, you must have
clear and easy access to the ON/OFF valve
AFTER
the appliance is installed and connected to the
gas supply.
Make sure the burner is in place prior to using
the appliance. If the burner is damaged, install
a replacement burner as specified by the
manufacturer.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
• Before operating the fire table, smell
for gas odors. Be sure to smell the
surrounding floor area, as some gases
are heavier than air and will settle on
the ground.
• Use only your hand to turn the manual
gas control valve. Never use tools. If
the valve will not turn by hand, do not
try to repair it. Call a qualified service
technician. Excessive force or faulty
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the ON/OFF valve located
on the side of fire table to the full
ON
position.
2. Make sure fuel supply is properly
connected and turned on at
the valve.
3. When you hear gas flowing, use
either a long wooden match or a
butane fireplace lighter to place
a flame near the burner.
4. If the burner does not light or
stay lit, or if the flame is very low,
shut off the gas supply and wait
five minutes to allow all fumes
to clear. Start again from Step 1,
making sure all gas valves are
completely open.
TURNING OFF GAS
Turn the ON/OFF valve on the unit to the
OFF
position, then close the valve on the propane tank.
NOTE
The propane regulator in this appliance is equipped
with a low flow protection device. Unless the propane
cylinder valve is opened before the valve on the unit,
the gas flow will be reduced, resulting in a very
small flame.
To reset this device, shut off the valve on the unit,
disconnect the hose from the cylinder to relieve the
pressure, then close the propane cylinder valve.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
REMEDY
Will not light
Air in gas line
If newly installed, may take
several attempts to purge air
Debris in gas line
Confirm gas line is clear
(of insulation, dirt, plastic,
excessive pipe sealer, etc.)
Improper gas pressure
Confirm proper gas pressure
Will not stay lit
Improper gas pressure
Confirm proper gas pressure
Improperly applied media
Review media application
Noise
Note:
The movement and
combustion of gas will
create low, unavoidable
levels of noise
Passage of air/gas across
irregular surfaces
Remove any tight bends or
kinks in gas supply line
Unit is producing excess
smoke/soot
Note:
It is natural and
unavoidable for appliance
sets to produce moderate
levels of carbon (soot)
where flames contact
the media
Excessive flame impingement
or blockage
Separate the media to allow
more flame passage
Improper fuel and/or
air mixture
Remove any foreign items from
the flame pattern and check for
proper orifice sizing
Burner flame is too low
or too high
Incorrect gas supply
or pressure
Check for proper gas supply
pressure
Blocked burner orifice
or ports
Free burner orifice or ports
of any debris or blockage
Improper burner orifice size
Verify proper burner
orifice sizing
Unit produces unwanted
odors
Gas leak, see
Warning
Statement
Check for and seal all gas leaks
