STEP 4
***SLOWLY*** turn cylinder valve to the FULLY open position to
avoid tripping the excess flow safety device in the gas regulator.
For more information about the excess flow safety device see
STEP 8.
STEP 5
Leak Test all connections. See section labeled “Leak Test” (page 3).
STEP 6
Using a lighter or match, ignite
lighter and hold flame slightly
above the burner, then open the
valve on the appliance slowly by
turning (counter-clockwise) until
the unit ignites.
SECTION 2: IGNITION (continued)
STEP 7
Once the unit is burning normally
set the dial to desired flame
height.
STEP 8: TROUBLESHOOTING
GOT A LOW FLAME?: If your
OUTLAND Firecube
experiences low
flame, or flame height does not appear to be normally adjusted by
the gas knob, it is likely that the gas cylinder is low in fuel, or the
excess flow safety device has been tripped in the gas regulator.
NOTE: Elevation and temperature affect the cylinder gas pressure
and performance (flame height) of gas appliances. Your geographic
location or local weather may be at fault.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
a. Confirm your gas cylinder is NOT empty.
b. Close the propane cylinder valve.
c. Open and then close the appliance gas knob valve to release
pressure.
d. Be sure the appliance valve is OFF.
e. Disconnect the gas hose from the propane cylinder.
f. Gently tap the gas regulator housing on the ground once or
twice.
g. Reconnect the gas hose to the propane cylinder.
h. Slowly and fully open the propane cylinder valve.
i. Perform a Leak Test and follow the Ignition sequence.
TIP: Try tapping the regulator on the ground or hard surface 3
times. Sometimes, this will reset the safety device in the regulator.
WARNING:
TRIP HAZARD! Ensure the gas hose is placed in an area where
it is unlikely to be tripped over (such as pathways or trails) or
subject to other accidental damage.
WARNING:
The hose should not be twisted or kinked when attached to
the gas cylinder. The hose should never touch the appliance.
Ensure that the appliance is kept at a minimum distance of
0.91m (36”) from the gas cylinder.
WARNING:
Ensure that no parts of your body, clothing, or any other
combustible material are above the burner before, during and
after ignition.
WHAT IS AN EXCESS FLOW SAFETY VALVE? (EFV)
The EFV is a safety mechanism contained within the gas
regulator. The purpose of the EFV is to restrict the gas supply
if too much gas is flowing too quickly through the gas hose.
For example this could happen if the gas hose was severed.
It is normal that your Fire Bowl EFV trips if you open the
propane tank valve too quickly or if you leave the OUTLAND
Firecube gas knob open before lighting, or both.

If there are no flames present,
as demonstrated in the image
to the left, the appliance is likely
not burning. If this is the case,
IMMEDIATELY turn the appliance
valve to the “off” position if it is
not already and repeat the ignition
procedure as outlined in Section 2.
Upon igniting the appliance,
visually verify that the burner is
indeed burning as demonstrated
in the image to the left.
