Perform all leak tests outdoors, extinguish all open flames, and never smoke during a leak test. Do not use the fire pit until all connections have been leak tested and do not leak.

1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak test solution (one part liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts water).

2. Apply several drops of solution where the hose attaches to the regulator.

3. Apply several drops of solution where the regulator connects to the cylinder.

4. Make sure all fire pit and light valves are OFF.

5. Turn the cylinder valve ON.

If bubbles appear at any connection, there is a leak.

1. Turn the cylinder valve OFF.

2. If the leak is at the hose/regulator connection: tighten the connection and perform another leak test. If bubbles continue appearing, the hose should be returned to the place of purchase.

3. If the leak is at the regulator/cylinder valve connection: disconnect, reconnect, and perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, the cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to the cylinder’s place of purchase.

If NO bubbles appear at any connection, the connections are secure.

NOTE: Whenever gas connections are loosened or removed, you must perform a complete leak test.

Before Turning Gas Supply ON:

1. Your firepit was designed and approved for outdoor use only. Do NOT use it inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

2. Make sure surrounding areas are free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids.

3. Ensure that there is no obstruction to air ventilation. Be sure all gas connections are tight and there are no leaks.

4. Be sure the cylinder cover is clear of debris. Be sure any component removed during assembly or servicing is replaced and fastened prior to starting.

Before Lighting:

Remove the lid. Inspect the firepit thoroughly before each use. If relighting a hot fire pit, always wait at least 5 minutes. Inspect the hose assembly for evidence of excessive abrasion, cuts, or wear. Leak test any suspected areas.

Lighting Steps:

1. Ensure the appliance gas valve is set to the “OFF” position.

2. Securely attach the supplied regulator hose to the propane cylinder.

3. Slowly turn the valve on the propane cylinder to the “Open” position.

4. Push and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the big flame position.

5. Check for flame at the burner. If the burner does not light immediately, turn the control knob to the “OFF” position and try again from the start. Allow 30 seconds between ignition attempts for gas to dissipate. Several attempts may be necessary.

6. With the burner alight, keep the control knob depressed for 15 seconds.

7. Adjust the appliance to the desired flame height.

8. After extinguishing the appliance, wait at least five (5) minutes before relighting.

1. To extinguish the burner, depress the control knob and continue to turn it clockwise to the OFF position.

2. Turn the cylinder valve clockwise to the OFF position and disconnect the regulator when the heater is not in use.

3. Allow the unit to cool for 30 minutes before putting on the lid and transporting.

When the fire pit is ON, the burner will display tongues of orange and yellow flame. These flames should not be just yellow or produce thick black smoke, which indicates an obstruction of airflow through the burners. If an excessive yellow flame is detected, turn off the heater and consult the Troubleshooting section.
