or
2. For an enclosure having four sides, a top and bottom:
a) At least two ventilation openings at cylinder valve level shall be provided in the side wall, equally sized,
spaced at 180 degrees (3.14 rad), and unobstructed. Each opening shall have a total free area of not less
then ½ square inch per pound (3.2 sq. cm/kg) of stored fuel capacity and not less then a total free area of
10 square inches (64.5 sq. cm).
b) Ventilation opening(s) shall be provided at floor level and shall have a total free area of ½ inch per pound
(3.2 sq. cm/k) of stored fuel capacity and not less than a total free area of 10 square inches If the
ventilation openings at floor level are in a side wall, there shall be at least two openings. The bottom of
the openings shall be at floor level and the upper edge no more than 5 inches (127 mm) above the floor.
The openings shall be equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees (3014 rad) and unobstructed.
c) Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2mm)
diameter rod.
3. Cylinder valves shall readily be accessible for hand operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to the
cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened with out the use of tools
4. There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (40.8mm) between the lower surface of the floor and the LP gas
supply cylinder enclosure and the ground.
5. The design if the enclosure shall be such that (1) the LP gas supply cylinder(s) can be connected, disconnected
and the connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure; and (2) those connections which could
be disturbed when installing the cylinder(s) in the enclosure can be leak tested inside the enclosure.
6. Be certain to mount or set the 20lb LP gas cylinder on a flat surface and restrain it to prevent it from tipping.
Purge the gas supply line of any trapped air prior to the fi rst firing of the unit.
WARNING: During the initial purging and subsequent lightings, NEVER allow gas to remain in the ‘Open”
position without first placing and igniting the fire starter.
OPERATION
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When the first lighting the burner, it will
take a few seconds for the lines to purge themselves of this air.
Once the purging is complete, the burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting
of the appliance will not require such a purging unless the gas supply has been disconnected.
WARNING: Read and follow the safety and lighting instruction page in this manual and on the labels on the appliance.
BY NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, A FIRE/ EXPLOSION MAY RESULT. YOU MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
BASIC SET UP
Once the fire pit is in position, level and safely hooked up to the proper fuel supply, it is now time to install the crushed
lava rock. This is also an essential part of the overall set-up as it will impact the way the unit burns if not properly installed.
Layer the lava rock in level across the burner plate. Bring it up to a level that is just over top of the burner by about 1”. Do
not completely cover burner element or block the igniter box with lava rock. Next, install the imitation fire logs. These
should be laid in as shown in the image below. Start by laying one round log in the centre of the unit. This log should be
perpendicular to the igniter box and lay on top of the centre support bracket. Lay the other logs, (quantity may vary by unit
type), in a teepee configuration over the first log. It is important that the logs not lay directly on top of the burner. By
blocking the burner it will impact air flow and will cause the unit to be difficult to ignite or will impact how the flame comes
through and burns. Once all the logs are in place as shown you can begin next steps. NOTE: Be sure unit is cool before
touching any of the components.
