This document describes a 30-inch, 50,000 BTU gas fire pit, model SRGF11626, item 227770, designed for outdoor use. It provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, emphasizing safety precautions throughout.
The primary function of this appliance is to provide heating for outdoor patios, decks, spas, pools, and open working areas. It operates using a standard 20 lb propane cylinder, which must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include a collar to protect its valve. The fire pit is designed to be placed on a flat, stable, non-combustible surface, ensuring adequate fresh air ventilation at all times. It is crucial not to place the appliance on grass or dirt, as this may prevent proper safety venting. The design includes a table top frame, side panels, legs, a control panel assembly, a cylinder holder pole, and a door for accessing the propane cylinder. Lava rocks are used to cover the burner area, and a cover lid is provided for when the fire pit is not in use.
Usage features include a straightforward lighting procedure. To operate, the control knob is turned to the "OFF" position, then the LP cylinder gas valve is fully opened. The control knob is then pushed down and turned counter-clockwise to the "LOW" position, which should light the burner with a clicking noise. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, the user is instructed to push down the control knob and turn it clockwise to "OFF," wait, and repeat the lighting process. Once lit, the control knob can be adjusted to the desired heat output between "LOW" and "HIGH." The flame characteristic is typically yellow, but if it appears blue or very small, it may indicate low gas pressure or an empty cylinder. If flames lift away from the burner or backfire occurs, or if thick black smoke is produced, the fire pit should be turned off immediately and serviced by a qualified technician. For shutting down, the control knob is pushed in and turned clockwise to "OFF," and the LP cylinder gas valve is also turned to "OFF" when the appliance is not in use.
Safety is a paramount concern, with numerous warnings and cautions provided. Users are warned against storing or using gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near the appliance. An LP-cylinder not connected for use should not be stored in the vicinity. The appliance produces carbon monoxide, an odorless gas, and must never be used in enclosed spaces such as campers, tents, cars, or homes. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. A leak test with a soapy solution is required after connecting a new cylinder and upon re-assembly after disassembly to check all gas connections. If a gas odor is detected, the gas supply must be shut off, any open flames extinguished, and if the odor persists, the gas supplier or fire department should be contacted immediately. The product may expose users to chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects, as per California's Proposition 65.
Maintenance features are designed to ensure years of outstanding performance. Exterior surfaces should be kept clean using warm soapy water, avoiding flammable or corrosive cleaning agents. The area around the burner must be kept dry, and if the gas control is exposed to water, it must be replaced. The appliance area should be free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids, ensuring that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed and that the cylinder enclosure's ventilation openings are clear of debris. The hose should be checked for cracks or worn sections annually and replaced if necessary. At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for spiders, spider webs, or other insects, as these can cause dangerous blockages. Airflow must remain unobstructed, and controls, burner, and circulating air passageways should be kept clean. Signs of blockage include the fire pit not reaching the desired temperature, uneven glow, or popping noises. Burner holes can be cleaned with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner, and compressed air can help clear smaller particles. For storage, the fire pit should be stored indoors during winter if freezing temperatures are expected, but only after the cylinder is disconnected and removed. The cylinder itself must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children, with threaded valve plugs tightly installed. The fire pit area should be kept clear of combustible materials and covered when not in use to maximize product life. A qualified service person should perform annual inspections and repairs.
Troubleshooting guidance addresses common issues such as gas odor, delayed ignition, incorrect burner flame, and ignition failure. For gas odor, checking all gas connections is recommended. Delayed ignition or incorrect burner flame may be due to low gas pressure or clogged/dirty burner ports, requiring a check of the gas supply pressure and cleaning of burner parts. Ignition failure can occur if the distance between the electrode ignition pin and the flame orifice is too far, which can be adjusted to 4-5mm. The manual emphasizes that installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
