The Peaktop 21.26 Inch Freestanding Water Decor with Fire Pit (PT-WF0004) is a versatile outdoor appliance designed to provide both aesthetic water decor and a functional fire pit. This product is intended for outdoor use only, in a ventilated space, and should not be used in any enclosed area. It operates exclusively with propane gas and is not designed for natural gas conversion, which would void the manufacturer's warranty.
Function Description:
The device combines two primary functions: a water decor feature and a fire pit. The water decor element involves a pump circulating water, creating a soothing ambiance. The fire pit component uses propane gas to produce flames, offering warmth and a focal point for outdoor gatherings. A wind guard is included to help prevent the fire from extinguishing due to mild breezes, though the fire feature should not be used during windy and stormy conditions, and the gas should be shut off.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: 21.26 inches (height/diameter, implied from product name).
- Fuel Type: Propane gas only.
- Gas Tank Requirements: Uses 1LB propane tanks for the fountain's metal connection inside the column, and larger LP propane tanks (diameter 12in, height 18in, capacity 20lbs) for the fire pit. The LP gas tank must have a collar to protect the gas valve and an overfilling prevention device (QCCI or Type I, CGA810 connection).
- Maximum Inlet Supply Pressure: 11 in w.c. (2.74 kPa).
- Clearance to Combustible Materials:
- 72 inches (182.8 cm) from the top of the unit.
- 48 inches (121.9 cm) around the entire unit.
- Minimum 24 inches of clearance from the tabletop to combustible walls (for the fire pit).
- Burner Media: Do not use more than 1/4" depth of lava rocks/pumice stones/glass above the burner holes, as this can suffocate the flame.
- Safety Certifications: ETL Listed (Intertek 5010198).
Usage Features:
- Assembly: Most parts are pre-assembled. Users need to carefully unpack, place the body on a flat, non-combustible surface, and connect the gas tank adapter. For the fountain, the pump needs to be placed in the basin, the electrical cord threaded, the upper fountain placed, and the hose connected to the pump.
- Lighting the Fire Pit: Ensure the valve knob is in the "OFF" position. Perform a leak test before lighting. Push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the LOW position. Hold a lit match within 1/4" to the glass logs until the burner lights. If it fails to light, turn to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and re-attempt. Adjust the control knob to desired heat setting (LOW or HIGH).
- Shut-down for Gas: Turn the control knob gently to the "OFF" position. Disconnect and remove the gas tank when the gas fireplace is not in use.
- Water Feature Operation: After connecting the hose to the pump and filling with clean water, plug the pump outlet into a properly grounded outlet to check water flow.
- Wind Guard: Place the wind guard on top of the fountain to prevent fire extinguishing in mild breezes.

- Do not store a spare propane tank on or near the unit.
- If stored indoors, detach the propane tank and leave it outdoors.
- Always remove the protective cover before operating.
- Do not set the protective cover over the unit until it is turned off and completely cooled down.
- Check for leaks after long periods of disuse.
- Children must be supervised near the unit and should never operate it.
- Keep the gas tank at least 5 ft away from the unit when lit (if external tank).
- The gas supply tank must be set up for vapor withdrawal.
- Discontinue use if any part of the propane tank is damaged.

Maintenance Features:
- Regular Inspection: The appliance should be inspected at least annually by a qualified service person. More frequent cleaning may be required.
- Burner Inspection: Inspect the burner before each use. If damaged, it must be replaced.
- Hose Care: Keep the hose out of pathways to eliminate accidental damage.
- Cleaning: Ensure the control compartment, burners, and circulation air passageways are kept clean.
- Fire Glass: If fire glass gets wet, ensure it is completely dry before igniting, as intense heat can cause the rock to crack.
- Storage:
- It is recommended that the fireplace be stored indoors in freezing temperatures.
- The cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance before indoor storage.
- The propane canister must be stored outdoors and never close to the operating unit.
- If in raining day, burner should be turned off, and put the cover on the burner. Vinyl cover should not be put on this fireplace until the fireplace is cooled down.
- Troubleshooting: A troubleshooting guide is provided for common issues such as the heating unit not lighting, burner not lighting with a match, black smoke, sudden drop in gas flow, and flame blowing out easily. Solutions include drying wet parts, checking battery insertion, reconnecting wires, checking gas tank levels, clearing burner ports, straightening kinked hoses, and resetting the excess flow safety valve.
