4.1 Ignition
Refer to the section below according to which ignition system you purchased. An initial burner test
should be done prior to filling the pan with media (rocks/glass/etc.)
4.1.1 Manual Light
You will need a fireplace lighter, do not use a match or cigarette lighter as they are much shorter and
will light the fuel too close to the burner which may result in serious injury. Ignite your fireplace lighter
and hold the tip close to the burner. Insert fire table key and turn it to the ON position to start gas flow
to the burner‐ if you are using a propane tank unit, please note you will need to open the valve on your
tank first. If your burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn key to the OFF position and wait 10
seconds before trying again. If the burner still does not light, call your local gas technician to determine
if there is a problem. Once burner lights, immediately remove your hand and allow burner to operate for
a few minutes before turning it off. Make sure the valve is properly closed every time you leave your fire
feature unattended and remove key. For propane units, ensure that valve on tank is completely closed
when fire feature is not use.
You are now ready to place the fire media onto the burner pan. Slowly pour media onto pan and spread
evenly. Fire media should be sparsely spread out enough to cover pan. Only use the recommended
amount of media in your unit (the amount provided), overfilling may result in smaller flame and gas
buildup which may cause an explosion. Fresh air must be able to pass through the unit. Do not block or
obstruct any vents on lower and upper parts of the fire feature. These are designed to ensure proper
combustion and ensure no buildup of residual gases within the unit.
4.1.2 Battery Ignition *only available for Propane Gas Units
Find the panel on the side of your unit, the knob should be at the 12:00 position. This type of ignition
takes one AA battery (not included). To insert battery, turn the black battery receptacle to the left of the
knob counter‐clockwise until it unscrews and comes off. Insert battery and carefully place receptacle
knob back in position and screw back on. You may need to apply light pressure but do not overtighten as
it may damage the knob and threads.
To ignite unit, ensure knob is in the 12:00 position to start. Push the knob inward and turn clockwise to
the 6:00 position. You should hear the igniter sparking and the gas should ignite. Continue to push knob
inward until burner lights, wait a few seconds and release knob. If the flame does not stay lit, push the
knob back in and allow spark to reignite. If you do not hear the igniter sparking, your battery may be
drained and will require replacement.
Regulate the flame by turning the knob clockwise until it is to your liking. The knob will not go past the
9:00 position. If the flames are still too low or too high, have the pressure regulator checked for proper
