General Maintenance
Any guard or protective device removed for servicing must be
replaced prior to operating the appliance.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified technician.
Appliances should be inspected prior to each use and inspected
at least once annually by a qualified gas appliance service
professional.
Ensure gas and power (if applicable) are shut off and
fire pit is cool before servicing.
Keep fire feature covered at all times when not in use.
Keep any debris out of appliance - clean as needed. If
debris is found, remove before lighting system.
JET ORIFICE CLEANING
Annual inspection and cleaning of the fire feature is
recommended. If at any time the flames exhibit any abnormal
shapes or behavior, or if burner fails to ignite properly, then the
burner holes located in bottom of gas jet orifices may require
cleaning. The appliance can be cleaned by carefully removing
the logs and media to allow access to burner.
Use a brush to carefully remove dust, spider webs and loose
particles. Periodical inspection by a qualified service technician
of the air-intake is required to ensure your fire feature performs
properly.
Use a wire or small puncture tool and carefully insert in
jet. Tool should be size of a small paper clip. If evidence of
damage is found, burner must be replaced with the appropriate
burner specified by the manufacturer.
⚠ WARNING: Fire feature should be inspected by user
prior to each use and inspected at least once annually by a
qualified gas appliance service professional
PILOT ASSEMBLY/THERMOCOUPLE CLEANING OF SOOT
The flames from the pilot should be visually checked as soon as
the unit is installed, and periodically during normal operation.
The pilot flame must always be present when the fire pit is in
operation. The pilot flame has two distinct flames: one engulfing
the thermocouple and the other reaching to the main burner.
Every six months or as needed, remove media, lava rock,
or glass from around the pilot assembly. Clean the thermocouple
of any soot using soft brush. Be careful not to damage the igniter
element. Be sure when returning your media to the pit to cover
your orifices to avoid blocking the jets as mentioned on page 6.
Once pilot assembly is clean, inspect to see flame that covers
3/8” to 1/2” of the thermocouple. Cleaning of pilot gas orifice
may be required by removing pilot hood and removing orifice
and cleaning out orifices from debris, soot or anything that may
be preventing gas flow from exiting the pilot gas orifice.
