Setup and Installation

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the fire pit pan will be installed in a non-combustible enclosure with adequate ventilation and clearance from flammable materials.
2. Place the Fire Pit Pan: Carefully lower the stainless steel fire pit pan into the prepared opening. The 1 1/4" top flange should rest securely on the edge of the opening. The pan includes built-in weep holes to prevent water accumulation.
3. Connect Gas Line: Connect your gas supply line to the 1/2 inch male gas inlet located at the bottom center of the pan. Ensure all gas connections are tight and leak-free. Use appropriate gas-rated sealant tape or compound. If using Liquid Propane (LP), an air mixer is required (sold separately) to ensure proper combustion.
4. Install Optional Igniter (if applicable): If you are using an optional igniter (not included), utilize the provided extra mounting plate for installation. Refer to your igniter's instructions for specific wiring and placement.
