- Placement: Position the fire pit on a flat, stable, non-combustible surface outdoors. Ensure sufficient clearance from walls, ceilings, and other combustible materials.
- Gas Connection: This model is designed for natural gas. Connect the natural gas hose to a fixed outdoor natural gas supply line. Ensure all connections are tight and secure. Use a leak detection solution (soapy water) to check for any gas leaks at connections. Bubbles indicate a leak.

Operating Instructions
- Before Lighting: Ensure the gas supply valve is open. Check for any obstructions in the burner area.
- Ignition: Turn the control knob to the 'LOW' position and push it in. While holding the knob in, press the electronic igniter button repeatedly until the burner ignites. You should hear a clicking sound.
- Flame Adjustment: Once ignited, continue to hold the control knob in for 10-15 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. Release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the ignition process. Rotate the control knob to adjust the flame height to your desired level.
- Shutting Down: To turn off the fire pit, rotate the control knob to the 'OFF' position. Close the main gas supply valve. Allow the fire pit to cool completely before covering or moving.

- Burner Inspection: Periodically inspect the burner and gas connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or blockages. Clean any debris from the burner ports.
- Lava Rock Care: Ensure lava rocks are dry before use. Replace any cracked or deteriorated lava rocks.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fire pit does not ignite. | No gas supply, igniter not sparking, igniter wire disconnected, burner ports blocked. | Check gas supply valve. Ensure igniter wire is securely connected (refer to image of control panel). Clean burner ports. Replace igniter battery if applicable. |
| Flame is weak or inconsistent. | Low gas pressure, partially blocked burner ports, lava rocks obstructing burner. | Ensure gas supply valve is fully open. Clear burner ports. Redistribute lava rocks to ensure proper gas flow. |
| Flame goes out after releasing control knob. | Thermocouple not heating sufficiently, faulty thermocouple. | Hold the control knob in for a longer duration (15-20 seconds) after ignition. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Smell of gas. | Gas leak. | Immediately turn off gas supply. Do not attempt to ignite. Use soapy water to check all connections for leaks. If a leak is detected and cannot be resolved, contact a qualified gas technician or emergency services. |
