  5. Lava Rock Placement: Carefully distribute the provided lava rocks evenly over the burner area. Do not cover the igniter or burner holes completely.
  6. Leak Test: Before first use, perform a leak test. Mix a solution of soapy water (50% soap, 50% water). With the propane tank valve open and the fire pit control knob in the OFF position, apply the solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close the propane tank valve immediately and tighten connections. Repeat the test. If leaks persist, do not use the appliance and contact customer support.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to safely light and operate your fire pit table:

  1. Open Gas Supply: Slowly open the valve on the propane tank counter-clockwise.
  2. Ignition: Locate the control knob on the side of the fire pit table. Push the control knob in and turn it counter-clockwise to the "ON" position. While holding the knob in, press the igniter button repeatedly until the burner ignites. You should hear a clicking sound and see flames.

  4. To Turn Off: Turn the control knob clockwise to the "OFF" position. Then, close the valve on the propane tank completely. Allow the unit to cool down before covering or moving.
