Operating Instructions

Checking for Leaks

Burner Connections

1. Make sure the regulator hose and valve connections are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.
2. Visually check the connection between the burner/venturi tube and orifice.
3. Make sure the burner/venturi tube fits over the orifice.
4. Refer to diagram for proper installation (Figures 1 and 2).
5. If the burner/venturi tube does not rest flush to the orifice, as shown, please contact 1-866-439-9800 for assistance.

Tank/Gas Line Connection

1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak detection solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are in the “ OFF” position (Figure 3).
3. Connect LP gas tank per “Installing LP Gas Tank” section.
4. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN.”
5. Spoon several drops of solution, or use a squirt bottle, at all “X” locations (Figures 1 and 2).

a. If any bubbles appear, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED,” reconnect and re-test.

b. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, turn LP gas tank valve to CLOSED” and disconnect LP gas tank, per Disconnecting LP Gas Tank” section. Contact for assistance.

c. If no bubbles appear after one minute, turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED,” wipe away solution and proceed.

Lighting

1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films have been removed from the outdoor fire pit.
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).
4. Clear small area of fire glass away from the igniter cover (Figure 4).
5. Connect LP gas tank per “Installing LP Gas Tank” section.

1. Turn LP gas tank valve to “OPEN.”

2. Push and turn control knob to ( HIGH). Continue to hold the control knob in to light.

3. After the fire pit 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.

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

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

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

7. If igniter does not light burner:

a. Wearing heat-resistant gloves, position a lit long match or lit long butane lighter near the pilot housing.

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

c. Remove match/lighter once burner is lit.

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

Turning Off

1. Turn LP gas tank valve to “CLOSED.”
2. Turn control knob to the “ OFF” position.
3. Disconnect LP gas tank per “Disconnecting LP Gas Tank” section.
