is imperative the control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
5. Inspect the fuel supply connection before each use of the appliance.
6. Temporary storage of this appliance indoors is permissible only if it has been disconnected from its fuel supply
(Natural or L.P. gas line).
WARNING
1. This appliance is
hot
when operated and can cause sever burns if contacted.
2. Do not burn any solid fuels in this appliance.
INITIAL START UP
1. Turn gas ON. Ensure you have leak tested the fire pit before operating.
2. If using the optional 120V power adapter, you must turn the switch or breaker ON. If using the standard battery
pack, ensure batteries are installed and the Fire Pit is ready to operate.
3. Press the ON button on the handheld transmitter. You will hear the ignitor probe sparking, light the gas and fire
pit will come on. WARNING: Do not stand over Fire Pit during ignition or operation due to high surface tempera
tures.
NOTE
: It may take several cycles of ON/OFF to purge the airflow from the gas lines. The direct spark ignition
will turn OFF after 15 seconds if the burner does not light after which you will need to press transmitter OFF button then
back ON to initiate ignition again. You can also bleed the gas line using the hand held remote control. Press and hold the
HI and LO buttons of the remote control at the same time. This will allow the probe to spark and gas to flow to bleed the
gas line and allow the burner to light until you release the buttons. Afterward, start normally by pressing the ON button to
light the fire pit.
- There are two levels of flame height, HI and LO. By pressing the handheld transmitter you can operate ON-OFF-HI-LO.
The transmitter defaults to the HI setting when initially lighting the Fire Pit each time but
will remember the last setting used and change back to the last setting in approximately
5-seconds after lighting.
- Flame color adjustment can be made turning the air shutter nut under the burner pan.
It is recommended that the nut be opened until the gas/air mixture makes a rushing
sound (like a blow torch); then slowly closed until the rushing sound diminishes. A desir
-
able flame is bright yellow with little or no brown at the tips. Too yellow flame can create
excessive sooting (See fig. 11).
