Using Your Firepit or Fireplace
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and any other flam-
mable vapors and liquids.
For fireplaces with a waterfall, make sure that there is no debris in the filler pan. The pump will recircu-
late water up through the fireplace and then filter down the sides and front. It is also important that you
maintain a consistent water level. Running the pump dry will burn out the pump motor.
DO NOT USE SOLID FUEL IN YOUR FIREPIT.
Inspect the burner before each use of the appliance. If there is any evidence that the burner is damaged, it
must replaced before operating. Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in
the lines. When first lighting the burner, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge themselves of this
air. Subsequent lighting of the appliance will not require such purging.
CAUTION: Never allow the ON/OFF valve to remain in the open position without placing a burning
match on top of the burner FIRST!
IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
MAY RESULT , CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR LOSS OF
LIFE.
Safety Information
What To Do If You Smell Gas
• Do not try to light the appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch. Do not use any phone in the immediate area.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
• Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob. Never use tools. If the valve will not turn by hand,
don’t try to repair it -- call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a
fire or explosion.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified service tech-
nician to inspect the appliance, and to replace any part which has been under water.
Lighting Your Gas Firepit
Read the safety information above before attempting to light your fireplace or firepit.
This appliance must be lit by hand. When lighting, follow these instructions exactly. Before lighting,
smell around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the base of the appliance, because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle on the ground.
1. Locate the manual gas control valve, located on the outside of the firepit, two inches from the base
of the firepit. (Look for a bright red knob.)
2. Place a burning match on top of the burner in the middle where ports are present. DO NOT HOLD
THE MATCH IN YOUR HAND. For natural gas appliances, turn on the ON/OFF valve slowly at
