Lighting

WARNING: NEVER light the burner with the cover on the outdoor fireplace.

CAUTION: Keep outdoor gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

CAUTION: Do NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

CAUTION: Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire.

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the outdoor fireplace.

2. Check for obstructions of airflow to the burner. Spiders, insects and webs can clog the burner/venturi tube. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire.

3. Control knob must be in the “ OFF” position (Figure 3).

8. After the fire table lights, continue to hold the control knob in for 20 seconds to heat the thermocouple, a safety device that stops the gas flow when a firepit is not lit. Holding the knob in for 20 seconds warms it up so the gas flow will continue.

9. After 20 seconds, release and turn control knob counterclockwise to adjust flame to desired height.

10.After three attempts, if ignition does not occur, turn the burner control knob to “ OFF.”

11. Wait 5 minutes, fan with a newspaper or magazine, and repeat lighting procedure.

b. Push and turn control knob to (HIGH).

c. Remove match/lighter once burner is lit.

CAUTION: After lighting - using a fireplace tool and heat-resistant gloves, carefully move the lava rock / glass rock back to their proper position, being careful to avoid the flame.

13. After lighting, observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches illustration (Figure 5).

CAUTION: If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn control knob to “ OFF,” wait 5 minutes, fan with a newspaper or magazine, and repeat lighting procedure.
