Maintain a minimum of 60 inches / 1.5 meters between the gas cylinder and the firepit. Ensure that any item located above the appliance cannot obstruct it and that both sides and the front of the appliance are at least 1 metre from any item that could impede its operation. Ensure that the appliance’s ventilation holes are not obstructed. The product should be placed on a flat, stable surface such as a concrete patio slab.

How do I install the battery in the ignition switch of the VONHAUS 2500556?

How should I arrange the lava rocks in the VONHAUS 2500556?
Scatter the Lava Rocks around the Fire Bowl covering the burner ring. CAUTION! The Lava Rocks must not cover the Ignition Vent. The Vent must always be visible and clear of obstruction to ensure a smooth flow of gas.
How do I perform a leakage test on the VONHAUS 2500556?
This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leakages and an immediate check is required if the smell of gas is detected. Always perform a leakage test on gas connections whenever a LPG cylinder is connected.
To perform the test:
1. Make a soap solution using 1 part of liquid dish-washing soap to 3 parts water.
2. The soap solution can be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to the leakage tested points (gas connections).
3. The valve of the LPG cylinder should be in the “OFF” position at this point of the leakage test. Once the soapy solution is applied to the gas connections, the valve of the LPG cylinder needs to be turned to the “ON” position.
4. Soap bubbles will begin to form in the soapy solution if any leakage is present.
In the event of gas leakage, the appliance must not be used. The gas supply must be shut-off and the appliance must be investigated and rectified before it is used again. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn on gas supply and recheck. Never use a flame to test for leakages.
How do I ignite the VONHAUS 2500556 fire pit?
Before igniting, ensure a leak test has been carried out.
1. Turn the Pressure Valve (on the Gas Tank) counter-clockwise to open the gas supply.
2. Press and hold the Ignition Switch. Meanwhile, push and turn the Gas Regulator Dial counter-clockwise.
3. After ignition, release the Ignition Switch but continue to push and hold the Gas Regulator Dial for 15-30 seconds.
Note: If ignition does not take place within seconds, push and turn the Gas Regulator Dial to the OFF position and wait for 5 minutes. Repeat the lighting procedure as above.
How should the flame appear on the VONHAUS 2500556 once lit?
Once successfully lit, ensure you observe the flame height and colour. Flames should be yellow/blue in colour with a height of 2-10 inches. Take extra care to ensure the flame does not exceed that height.
How do I turn off the VONHAUS 2500556?
Simply turn the Gas Regulator Dial clockwise to the OFF position along with the Gas Cylinder valve also turned to the OFF position. Allow the Firepit to completely cool for at least 40-60 minutes before covering with the Weather Protector Cover to store.
How should I store the VONHAUS 2500556 and the gas cylinder?
Store the Gas Cylinder in a safe and secure location away from any combustible items. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of reach of children.
Store the appliance indoors only if the cylinder has been disconnected and removed. If the appliance is not used for a long period, it should be stored under the Weather Protector supplied in a dry, dust-free location. Ensure the Firepit has completely cooled before covering for storage.
What are the cleaning and maintenance instructions for the VONHAUS 2500556?
Do not clean the product with any abrasive cloths or chemicals. Solvents or detergents can cause damage to the surface.
Periodically check and re-tighten fittings where necessary.
To clean, sponge down with warm water, a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles.
If any carbon deposits develop, clean dome and engine with warm soapy water.
After the burner and lava rocks are completely cooled down, remove it from the bowl and use a soft brush to get rid of the mild stains, loose dirt and soil. Wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the bowl and afterward put lava rocks again in proper position.
