FIRE MEDIA INSTALLATION
Please follow the instructions below to add the finishing touch to your Fire Pit. Your Fire Pit needs a
fire media in order to get the proper flame characteristics from the burner assembly. The media
can be lava rocks, decorative fire glass, fire logs, or other fire media specifically designed for
outdoor fire pits and fireplaces.
DANGER
Do not block the pilot area or blow out box. Proper air flow is required in order to prevent
suffocation and possible gas buildup. Incorrect media installation will cause the pilot flame to
suffocate and turn off the fire pit or delay main burner ignition. If the main burner does ignite quickly,
gas can build up in the burner tray and ignite violently. Ignition of gas which has built up can create
an unsafe condition, and may cause injury or death, and may damage personal property. The
deeper your lava rock or glass the more risk of reducing or smothering the flame from the burner.
Lava Rock Only Application
1)
Install your Fire Pit per instructions.
2)
Apply lava rock ONLY deep enough to cover ring
and pan- less than 2” above fire ring.
3)
Blow Out Box: Do not cover vents with lava rock-
leave open. Do not allow any rock to block flame
opening.
Decorative Glass Application
1)
Install your Fire Pit per instructions.
2)
Add base layer of lava rock as filler to hide pan
and ring. Height should be only slightly above ring.
3)
Apply top coat of glass to lava rock just deep
enough to hide lava rock. Make sure you do NOT
cover the Blow Out Box.
