Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning, which could cause property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Keep a safe distance from the fire pit.
• Do not use near flammable materials.
• Only use approved fuel types (Liquefied Petroleum Gas).
• Ensure proper ventilation.
• Do not leave unattended during operation.
• Turn off the fuel source when not in use.
• Allow the fire pit to cool completely before covering or storing.
• Always use work gloves during assembly to avoid sharp edges.

Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage. Retain packaging for future storage if needed.
2. Assembly: Assemble the table base and attach the tabletop according to the included hardware instructions. Ensure all connections are secure. The cast aluminum frame is designed for easy assembly.
3. Placement: Position the fire pit table on a level, non-combustible surface outdoors, away from any overhead obstructions or flammable structures. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit.
4. Propane Tank Installation: Open the pull-out side panel on the table base. Place a standard 20 lb propane tank (not included) inside the compartment. Connect the propane hose from the fire pit burner to the tank valve, ensuring a tight seal. Close the side panel.
5. Leak Test: Before first use and after any tank change, perform a leak test on all gas connections using a soapy water solution. Bubbles indicate a leak. Do not operate if a leak is detected.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-Operation Check: Ensure the area around the fire pit is clear of flammable materials. Verify the propane tank valve is closed.
2. Lighting the Burner:
   • Open the propane tank valve slowly.
   • Push and turn the control knob on the fire pit to the "IGNITE" position.
   • Press and hold the igniter button until the burner lights. You may need to hold the control knob in for a few seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up.
   • If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF", close the propane tank valve, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
3. Adjusting Flame: Once lit, rotate the control knob to adjust the flame height to your desired level.
4. Turning Off: To turn off the fire pit, rotate the control knob to the "OFF" position. Then, close the valve on the propane tank.
5. Using the Lid: When the fire pit is not in use and has completely cooled, place the provided lid over the burner area to protect it from elements and debris.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The antique bronze powder-coated finish is designed for durability.
• Burner Maintenance: Periodically inspect the burner and gas connections for any signs of damage or blockage. Keep the burner ports clear of debris.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, especially during inclement weather, cover the fire pit with a weather-resistant cover. Ensure the propane tank is disconnected and stored safely according to local regulations.
• Rust Prevention: The cast aluminum frame is naturally rust-resistant. However, regular cleaning and covering will help maintain its appearance and extend its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Burner Does Not Light:
  • Check if the propane tank valve is fully open.
  • Ensure the propane tank has fuel.
  • Verify all gas connections are secure and free of leaks.
  • Check if the igniter electrode is clean and properly positioned.
• Low Flame:
  • The propane tank may be low on fuel.
  • Ensure the control knob is fully open.
  • Check for kinks in the gas hose.
  • The tank's overfill protection device (OPD) may have been triggered. Close the tank valve, disconnect, wait 30 seconds, and reconnect, then slowly open the valve.
• Smell of Gas:
  • Immediately turn off the fire pit and close the propane tank valve.
  • Perform a leak test on all connections.
  • If the smell persists, do not operate the unit and contact a qualified service technician.
