MEDIA INSTALLATION
WARNING: Only use approved decorative media (glass, lava rock, ceramic log sets, etc.)
that have been manufactured for specific use in fire features.
WARNING: Media must be ½” or larger in size to prevent media from falling into gas
orifices and blocking flow of gas out of jets. Use approved media only.
WARNING: Burner and jets can be covered by 1/4” to ½” of media above jets.
PLEASE
NOTE - covering over jets more than 1/4” to
½
” may create back pressure and gas leak-
age through air cross holes resulting in pooling of gas under the fire feature which can
result in explosion.
Also note that flame pattern will be affected by any media coverage
over gas orifice jets up to and including smothering of flames.
WARNING: When using electronic ignition systems please pay particular attention to
keeping media away from the pilot assembly area and/or away from wind screen of pilot
assembly. Incorrect media installation that blocks pilot assembly will cause the pilot flame
to suffocate, blocking of thermal sensor and/or a delay in main burner ignition.
WARNING: The fire pit is designed to use approved media that is correctly installed
over the burner to achieve proper combustion. Use of any media outside of the ap-
proved media sold by Warming Trends may void warranty and effect proper operations.
Install enclosure and fire feature per in-
structions provided by manufacturer.
Apply media per instructions by
pouring media around burner first,
then pushing media towards the gas
jet orifices making sure media does
not fall into the gas jet orifices. Check
each gas jet orifice prior to lighting to
be sure no media has fallen into gas
jet orifices.
For All Electronic Ignition Systems: Keep pilot assembly screen free and clear of
all media. Media should be piled no more than halfway up screen only (not over
full amount of screen) so that pilot gas orifice opening is above media coverage
allowing for pilot flame to easily reach gas jet orifice.
For Ceramic Log Sets: Place logs on
top of lava rock base according to
preference and desired flame pattern.
For electronic ignition systems - do not
block, cover or obstruct pilot assembly.
Blocking, covering or placing ceramic
logs too close to pilot may cause ex-
cessive heat on pilot causing system to
fail. This is not covered under warranty.
14. Turn off fire pit and allow to cool.
15. Set burner into properly constructed enclosure.
16. Apply media as per installation instruction.
17. Complete final verification of correct operation and lighting.
18. Review safety manual with end user and instruct end user not to
change/ modify fire pit or media in any way.
19. Leave manual with end user.
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT:
Warranty is void if valve box
for any/all electronic ignition system is opened or tampered with
in any way. See warranty section for full warranty requirements.
FIRE FEATURE OPERATION
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explo-
sion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
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 sus-
pected, turn off the main gas supply and repair.
WARNING: If using an LP bottle, position at safe distance away from flame.
WARNING: Do not place LP bottle inside enclosure.
WARNING: Use only your hand to turn the gas key valve. Never use tools.
If the key valve will not turn by hand, don’t try to repair it. Call a qualified
technician. Force or attempted repair may cause a fire or explosion.
WARNING: Wind and gusty conditions will affect the flame in an unpredictable
manner. If conditions exist that are not safe for patrons - turn the fire pit off.
WARNING: Do not use fire pit if any part has been submerged under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the fire pit.
WARNING: Never use any material for media that is non-porous and
holds moisture such as gravel, pebbles, river rock, etc. This material, when
heated will cause the trapped moisture to boil, fracture unexpectedly and/
or explode and cause personal injury or damage.
WARNING: If lava rock is wet, allow fire pit to burn for 45 minutes prior to
coming within 15 feet of the fire pit.
WARNING: Solid fuels shall not be burned in the fire pit. Leaves, sticks,
wood, paper, clothing, food material, should be kept away from the fire pit.
Make sure that there is no vegetation or other objects over the top or sides
of the fire pit that could interfere with safe operation. If there is any ques-
tions as to clearances, refer to fit pit clearances in your owner’s instructions
manual for specific clearance allowances.
WARNING: When fire pit is not in operation turn off gas valve.
WARNING: For electronic ignition systems – power supply must be turned
off to fire pit when not in operation.
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT: When not in use, fire feature must be cov-
ered at all times. Failure to cover the fire feature will void the warranty.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR:
Match Light / Manual Light (no electronics) / Push Button Ignition
1. STOP! Read all the safety information and warnings in the owner’s
manual before attempting to light fire feature.
1. Prior to turning appliance on visually inspect fire feature to ensure
debris such as leaves or other combustible material has not collect-
ed inside the feature which could burn and emit embers once the
fire feature is turned. Ensure no person is standing close to the fire
feature.
2. Turn key valve clockwise slightly and then turn counterclockwise
to the OFF position.
2. Wait (5) minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas.
3. If you smell gas, STOP!
4. Shut off gas to appliance.
5. Extinguish any open flame.
6. If gas odor continues, keep away from appliance and immediately
call gas supplier or fire department.
7. If you do not smell gas, turn key valve slowly counterclockwise to
the ON position while igniting lighter simultaneously to ignite gas.
8. For Push Button: Press push button ignition and listen for clicking noise
which indicates electrode is firing. Gas should ignite after a few clicks.
WARNING: If the flame will not stay lit after several tries, turn the key valve
to the OFF position and call your service technician or gas supplier.
TO TURN OFF GAS APPLIANCE
1. Turn key valve clockwise until it stops.
2. Carefully verify flame is OUT.
3. If using LP bottle/tank – turn bottle/tank to CLOSED position
4. After allowing for amply cooling time, cover the fire feature with
water proof / weather proof cover.
