This document provides comprehensive instructions for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of a 28-inch square gas fire pit, designed for outdoor use. The manual emphasizes safety precautions and proper handling to ensure a long lifespan for the appliance.
The gas fire pit serves as an outdoor heating appliance, primarily used for patios, decks, spas, pools, and other open working areas. It operates on a standard 20 lb (9 kg) LP gas cylinder, providing warmth and ambiance. The unit is designed for vapor withdrawal from the cylinder, which must include a collar to protect its valve. The fire pit features a burner that produces a flame, and a control knob allows users to adjust the heat output. Lava rocks are placed in the burning area to enhance the aesthetic and heat distribution. A cover lid is provided for protection when the fire pit is not in use.
The fire pit is designed for straightforward assembly and operation, though it is recommended that two or more people assist with installation. Before any use, it is crucial to perform a leak test with a soapy solution on all gas connections, especially after connecting a new cylinder or re-assembling the unit. The appliance must always be placed on a firm, level, and non-combustible surface, away from grass or dirt to ensure proper safety venting. Adequate fresh air ventilation is essential, and specific spacing tolerances from combustible materials must be maintained.
To operate the fire pit, users must first ensure the control knob is in the "OFF" position, then fully open the LP cylinder gas valve. The burner is ignited by pressing down and turning the control knob counter-clockwise to the "MIN" position. A clicking noise indicates ignition. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, the user must turn the knob to "OFF," wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and then repeat the ignition process. Once lit, the heat output can be adjusted between "MIN" and "MAX" using the control knob.
The flame characteristic is typically yellow. If the flame appears blue and very small, it may indicate low gas pressure or an empty cylinder. If flames lift away from the burner, backfire, or produce thick black smoke, the unit must be turned off immediately and serviced by a qualified technician. It is important to avoid covering the flame orifice with lava rocks to prevent ignition failure. After use, the fire pit remains hot for at least 45 minutes, and users are cautioned not to touch or move it during this time.
For safety, the manual strictly prohibits using an open flame to check for leaks, smoking during testing, or testing indoors. A leak check is mandatory whenever the gas cylinder is replaced. Only the pressure regulator supplied with the fire pit should be used, and replacements must be those specified by the manufacturer. The fire pit is for outdoor use only and must never be operated inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. Flammable liquids and vapors must be kept clear of the appliance.
To shut down the fire pit, the control knob should be pushed in and turned clockwise to "OFF," followed by turning the LP cylinder gas valve to "OFF" when the appliance is not in use. In the event of a gas leakage, the control knob and LP cylinder valve must both be turned to "OFF," and a 5-minute waiting period is required for gas to dissipate. If the odor persists, the gas supplier should be contacted immediately.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the fire pit's optimal performance and longevity. Exterior surfaces should be kept clean using warm soapy water, avoiding flammable or corrosive cleaning agents. When cleaning, it is important to keep the area around the burner dry; if the gas control is exposed to water, it must be replaced. The appliance area must be kept free and clean from combustible materials, gasoline, flammable vapors, and liquids, ensuring that combustion and ventilation air flow are unobstructed. The ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure must also be kept clear of debris.
The hose should be checked for cracks or worn sections, and if found, it must be replaced by contacting customer service. At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for spiders, spider webs, or other insects, as these can block airflow and create a dangerous condition. The control compartment, burner, and circulating air passageways must 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 using a heavy-duty pipe cleaner, and compressed air can help remove smaller particles.
In salt-air environments, corrosion occurs more quickly, necessitating frequent checks for corroded areas and prompt repairs. Before covering the fire pit, it must be allowed to cool completely. The cylinder should be disconnected and removed before storing the appliance indoors, especially during winter if freezing temperatures are expected. Disconnected cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children, with threaded valve plugs tightly installed. The fire pit itself should be stored in a dry location, sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather, to maximize its product life. A qualified service person should install, repair, and inspect the fire pit annually.
