Location
Place your firepit or fireplace on a flat and stable surface
in an outdoor location such as a patio deck. Do not
locate the appliance where it can get excessively wet or
submerged in water.
When determining a suitable location, take into account
concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic
paths, and windows that open into the home.
Locate your firepit or fireplace adjacent to the gas supply
line (LP or NG), preferably with the shortest gas line run
possible.
Maintain the following clearances to combustible
materials on all Cal-Flame fireplaces and fire pits.
Measure from the outside of the unit.

The 20" metal Campfire model requires the same side
and top clearances; however, it should not be placed on
any combustible materials or surfaces. The 20" Campfire
model should be positioned on stone, brick, sand or any
other non-combustible surface before lighting.
Your Cal Flame firepit or fireplace is designed and
intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY in a well ventilated
space and must not be used inside a building, garage,
or any other enclosed area.

Installation and Assembly
Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the
gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to
the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system
is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test
your fireplace or firepit outdoors in a well-ventilated
area. Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the
area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such
as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of
soapy water.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by
1.
mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to
one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF
2.
position.
3.
Turn on the gas.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed
valve to the grill.
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob
counter clockwise one turn to open.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it
4.
on joints of the gas delivery system. Blowing
bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak
is present.
5.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by
replacing the faulty part with a replacement
part recommended by the manufacturer. Do not
attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged.
The cylinder must be replaced.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF
6.
position.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF
1.
position.
Shut off the gas supply to the fireplace or firepit
2.
and release pressure in the hose and manifold by
pushing in and turning any of the control valves
one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the
fireplace or firepit.
4.
Call an authorized gas appliance service
technician or an LP gas dealer.
