MEDIA INSTALLATION
Only use approved decorative media (glass, lava rock,
ceramic log sets, etc.) that have been manufactured for
specific use in fire features.
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. To avoid dust and clogs get-
ting into the system, do not dump the media over the burner.
Place the media onto the plate or pan.
Burner should be covered by approved media up to 1/2”
above the jets. Media may be positioned so that jet tips or
barrels are visible. PLEASE NOTE - covering jets by more
than 1/2" of media may create back pressure and gas
leakage resulting in pooling of gas under the fire feature
which can result in explosion which could cause proper-
ty damage, personal injury, or death. Also note that flame
pattern will be affected by any media coverage over gas
orifice jets up to and including smothering of flames.
When using electronic ignition systems please pay par-
ticular 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 stifle, blocking of
thermal sensor and/or a delay in main burner ignition.
The appliance is designed to use approved media that is
correctly installed over the burner to achieve proper com-
bustion. Use of any media outside of the approved media
may void warranty and affect proper operations.
Install enclosure and fire
feature per instructions
provided by manufacturer.
DO NOT DUMP MEDIA
ON THE JETS. Apply media
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 cov-
erage allowing for pilot flame to easily reach gas jet orifice.
For Ceramic Log Sets:
Place logs on top of lava
rock or media base ac-
cording 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 excessive heat on pilot causing system to
fail. This is not covered under warranty.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
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 are any questions as
to clearances, refer to CLEARANCES DIAGRAM in your
Installation Manual for specific clearance allowances.
Wind and gusty conditions may cause the flame to
behave in an unpredictable manner. If conditions exist,
turn off the fire feature.
All media (lava rock, volcanic stone, fire glass, etc.) has
the potential of thermal spalling. This process may occur
when media is wet and moisture gets trapped inside of
the material due to rapid temperature differences. When
this happens the media has the potential to crack or pop
outside of the fireplace. Extra caution should be taken
when lighting in high humidity or moisture. After igniting,
allow 30 minutes to dry out the media, and monitor from
a distance until all popping has ceased before fully enjoy-
ing the fire.
TURNING ON YOUR MATCH LIT SYSTEM
1. STOP! Read all the safety information.
2. Any cover must be removed prior to operation of burn-
er or appliance and must remain off during operation.
Danger: Fire or Explosion Hazard. If you smell gas,
shut off gas to the appliance, extinguish any open
flame. If odor continues, leave the area immedi-
ately. After leaving the area, call your gas supplier
or fire department. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions could result in fire or explosion, which could
cause property damage, personal injury or death.
3. Confirm that your main Natural Gas or Liquid Propane
supply to the appliance is open. Do not open your
key valve or gas control valve at this time.
4. Before lighting, visually inspect fire feature and remove
any accumulated leaves or other combustible debris.
5. Locate key valve or gas control valve controlling gas
supply to your appliance.
6. Locate the closest jet tip on the exterior of the burner
that can be easily accessed while operating key valve
or gas control valve without reaching across other jets
or the burner.
