Assembly Instructions - Media Installation
⚠ WARNING: Covering jets by more than 1/2” of media may
create back pressure and gas leakage resulting in pooling
of gas under the fire feature which can result in explosion
which could cause property damage, personal injury, or
death.
Only use approved decorative media (glass, lava rock,
ceramic log sets, etc.) that have been manufactured for specific
use in fire features.
Media must be ½” or larger in size to prevent media from
falling into gas orifices and blocking flow of gas out of jets. Use
approved media only. To avoid dust and clogs getting into the
system, do not dump the media over the burner.
Place the media onto the plate or pan.
Burner should be covered by approved media up to 1/2” above
the jets. Media may be positioned so that jet tips or barrels are
visible.
Also note that flame pattern will be affected by any media
coverage over gas orifice jets up to and including smothering of
flames. The appliance is designed to use approved media that is
correctly installed over the burner to achieve proper combustion.
Use of any media outside of the approved media may void
warranty and affect proper operations.
Properly installed burner before and after media installation.
DO NOT DUMP MEDIA ON THE JETS.
Apply media by pouring media around burner first, then pushing
media towards the gas jet orifices making sure media does not fall
into the gas jet orifices. Check each gas jet orifice prior to lighting
to be sure no media has fallen into gas jet orifices.
Keep pilot assembly screen free and clear of all media. Media
should be piled no more than halfway up screen only (not over full
amount of screen) so that pilot gas orifice opening is above media
coverage allowing for pilot flame to easily reach gas jet orifice.
Log Sets & Other Decorative Media:
Place decorative media on top of lava rock or media base
according to preference and desired flame pattern. Do not block,
cover or obstruct pilot assembly. Blocking, covering or placing
ceramic logs or other decorative media too close to pilot may
cause excessive heat on pilot causing system to fail. This is not
covered under warranty.
CAUTION:
When lava rock is new or contains moisture, operating the fire pit
may cause the lava rock to pop and cause small particles to fly.
When igniting the fire pit for the first time, or after lava has
become damp, it may take several minutes for the lava to dry out
and cease popping.
Properly installed media around pilot assembly.
