Function Description:

The Outland Firebowl functions as a portable propane fire pit, offering a clean-burning and convenient alternative to traditional wood-burning fires. It is intended for outdoor use only, providing a controlled flame for recreational purposes. The appliance connects to a standard 9 kg / 20 lb LP gas cylinder via a hose and regulator, allowing users to adjust the flame height. Its design emphasizes safety, with features like an excess flow safety device in the regulator and clear instructions for leak testing and ignition. The unit is designed for easy setup and transport, making it suitable for various outdoor settings such as camping, patios, or backyards.

Usage Features:

Portability: The Firebowl is designed for easy transport, featuring a lightweight construction and an included cover and carry kit with straps that hook onto the unit's waistband.
Easy Connection: It connects to a standard LP gas cylinder using a hand-tightened regulator, eliminating the need for tools. A tank stabilizer ring is provided to prevent the cylinder from tipping over.
Adjustable Flame: The appliance valve dial allows users to adjust the flame height to their desired level, providing control over the heat and ambiance.
Lava Rocks: The unit includes three bags of lava rocks (one factory installed, two spares) which are arranged in the burner area to enhance the flame appearance and distribute heat.
Safety Devices:
- Excess Flow Safety Valve (EFV): Integrated into the gas regulator, this mechanism restricts gas supply if too much gas flows too quickly, preventing potential hazards from severed hoses or improper ignition.
- Stabilizer Ring: An approved LP-Cylinder stabilizer ring is included to prevent the gas cylinder from tipping over during use.
Ignition Procedure: A clear, step-by-step ignition process is outlined, including instructions for slowly opening the cylinder valve to avoid tripping the EFV and using a lighter or match for ignition.
Extinguishing Procedure: Simple steps for safely turning off the gas supply at both the cylinder and the appliance.
Outdoor Use Only: Emphasized throughout the manual, the Firebowl is strictly for outdoor use in well-ventilated spaces, not in enclosed areas like campers, tents, cars, or homes, due to carbon monoxide hazard.
High Surface Temperature Warning: Users are cautioned about high surface temperatures during operation and advised to allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Cleaning: Periodic maintenance is recommended to ensure optimal performance. This includes keeping the Firebowl out of rain and storing it in a dry place with the lid on to prevent leaves and debris from entering the burner.
Gas Hose Inspection: The hose should be cleaned and inspected before each use for signs of abrasion, wear, cuts, or leaks. Replacement with an Outland Living hose is specified if damage is found.
Burner & Orifice Inspection: The burner should be inspected prior to each use to ensure orifice holes are not plugged and the burner tube is not damaged. Replacement burners are available from FMI Brands Inc. Plugged orifices can be cleaned with a small paper clip.
Burner Tube Inspection: The burner tube under the appliance should be inspected for the mesh screen being in place.
Insect Nest Removal: Detailed instructions are provided for removing insect nests from the burner tube, which can obstruct gas flow and cause back flame events. This involves removing the gas valve body assembly, using a flashlight, pipe cleaner, or air tool to clear debris, and then carefully reinstalling the gas valve, ensuring the orifice aligns with the burner tube.
Leak Testing: Annual leak testing is required, or whenever gas system parts are serviced or replaced. A solution of half liquid detergent and half water is applied to connections, and bubbles indicate a leak. Users are instructed to close the tank valve, allow gas to dissipate, and tighten or replace faulty parts.
Lava Rock Maintenance: The non-toxic natural lava rocks will naturally form cracks and change color over time, which does not affect the firebowl's functionality. Users are advised not to place any objects other than the supplied rocks in the burner or add wood or other materials to the fire.
Customer Support: FMI Brands Inc. provides contact information for customer service, replacement parts, and warranty claims, emphasizing that the product should not be returned to the store.
