Using Your Fireplace or
Firepit
Always keep the appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and any other
flammable vapors and liquids.
-For fireplaces with a waterfall, make sure that there
is no debris in the filler pan. The pump will recirculate
water up through the fireplace and then filter down the
sides and front. It is also important that you maintain a
consistent water level. Running the pump dry will burn
out the pump motor.
DO NOT USE SOLID FUEL IN YOUR FIREPIT.
Inspect the burner before each use of the appliance.
If there is any evidence that the burner is damaged, it
must replaced before operating. Upon completing the
gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the
lines. When first lighting the burner, it will take a few
minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this air.
Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not require
such purging.
Never allow the ON/OFF valve to remain in the open
position without placing a burning match on top of the
burner FIRST!
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result, causing property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.

Using Your Fireplace or Firepit
Lighting Your Gas Firepit
Read the safety information above before attempting to
light your fireplace or firepit.
This appliance must be lit by hand. When lighting,
follow these instructions exactly. Before lighting, smell
around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell
next to the base of the appliance, because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the ground.
1.
Locate the manual gas control valve, located on
the outside of the firepit, two inches from the base
of the firepit. (Look for a bright red knob.)
2.
Place a burning match on top of the burner in the
middle where ports are present. DO NOT HOLD
THE MATCH IN YOUR HAND. For natural gas
appliances, turn on the ON/OFF valve slowly at the
appliance. For LP appliances, turn the valve on the
LP tank counterclockwise all the way and then turn
"ON" the ON/OFF valve slowly at the appliance.
3.
If the burner does not light before the match goes
out, immediately turn the gas valve to "OFF".
4.
Wait at least five minutes to clear out any gas.
Then smell for gas, including the base of the
appliance. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow Safety
Information above. If you don't smell gas, repeat
Step 2 above.
To Turn Off the Appliance
1.
Turn the ON/OFF valve to the "OFF" position at the
appliance for the natural gas appliance.

the valve on the LP tank clockwise to the "OFF"
position.
