GAS SAFETY
· Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a "DO-IT-YOURSELF" procedure - ONLY USE A PROFESSIONAL.
· NEVER USE THE FIRE FEATURE WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS INCLUDING ALL OF THE VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ALL GAS CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED).
· WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM.
· DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. Any open flame will ignite the gas.
· Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before each use. Only the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specified by The Outdoor Plus.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS:
Perform a leak test before each use. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test. As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your appliance outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
· Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
· Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
· Turn on the gas:
· On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the appliance.
· On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
· Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system. This includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines, and every point from the gas source to the burners.
· Emerging bubbles in the soap solution or and/or if there is a faint gas smell (gas typically has an egg smell) indicates that a leak is present. Do not attempt to ignite the side burner.
· Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL

COMPONENTS OVERVIEW

GAS CONNECTION
· Installation or repair should be performed by a qualified service technician who is locally licensed. The appliance should be inspected before use and at least annually by a qualified technician.
· Do NOT remove any decal/rating plates from the Electronic Ignition Valve. A gas shut off must be installed outside the exterior of the fire feature for emergency shut off and maintenance. A sediment trap is highly recommended to alleviate any problems from debris or sediment in the gas line. It is the installers responsibility to ensure the fuel supply and line are adequate to supply the maximum BTU for the burner used.
· NOTE: A heat shield/plate MUST be installed between the Electronic Ignition Valve and the burner ring to avoid over heating.
· The Electronic Ignition Valve box is pre-mounted to the burner or burner & pan combination.
· The Electronic Ignition Valve is designed to automatically close the gas valve and shut down should temperatures exceed 175° Fahrenheit. To keep the unit cool, proper ventilation and a heat shield must be provided.
· The Outdoor Plus Recommends a Stainless Steel Whistle-Free Flex Hose to eliminate the noise
PILOT ASSEMBLY CONNECTIONS
We pre-assemble the pilot on top of the burner pan and in that configuration, the pilot line, thermocouple, and igniter lead should be lowered through a hole in the pan prior to connecting to the control box. The pilot comes pre-assembled from the factory, so the installer can simply connect the assembly to the main control box. The igniter has a "shaped" push on waterproof connector ensuring that is can only be connected the correct way. Push the black plastic connector parts firmly together until it locks in place. Gently tug on wires to assure connection is secure. The flexible corrugated pilot tube has a flare fitting that should be connected 1/4 turn past hand tight. Please double check to ensure the fitting is snug both into the control box and the flare connection. The thermocouple should now be connected. It screws onto the 11/32" brass fitting on the control box closest to the black connector. It should be snug, but do not over-tighten. Next, you may mount the pilot to the burner pan. The shield is designed with perforated material which you can use to secure to the pan with self tapping screws. The installer can determine the best placement for the pilot depending on the burner configuration keeping the pilot within 1" from a burner port for quick ignition. Once all connections are complete, it is highly recommended to perform a leak test. Turn on the gas supply and using gas test solution or soapy water solution, spray the gas connections on the Electronic Ignition Valve including the pilot connector to ensure it is leak free.

OPERATION SEQUENCE

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
· When activated, the unit initiates a pre-purge period upon detecting a call for heat. The hot surface ignitor (HSI) is energized for warm-up duration, followed by activation of the pilot gas valve during the trial-for-ignition period. Once ignition is achieved, the HSI deactivates. If flame detection occurs before the trial-for-ignition period elapses, the HSI deactivates. The main valve opens, and the pilot valve remains active until power is cut or flame signal is lost. In case of flame loss, the control shuts off the gas valve, initiating a flame loss recycle delay before restarting the ignition sequence. If no flame is detected during the trial-for-ignition period and trials-for-ignition remain, both the pilot and HSI deactivate, entering an inter-purge period before the next ignition attempt. If flame detection occurs before the gas valve activates, the control halts the sequence and enters safety shutdown until the flame drops below the minimum threshold or continuously drops by the minimum threshold value before proceeding.

FIRE MEDIA USAGE
WARNING Media (Lava Rock or Fire Glass) must be a minimum of 1/4" and no larger than 3" in diameter. For Natural Gas: You can use Fire Glass media or Lava Rock ranging from 1/4" to 3" in diameter. For Liquid Propane: Avoid using glass pieces that are 1/2" in size or smaller. Opt for burning media between 1/2" and 3/4" - 1" in size, or larger.
· Media used in the fire feature enhances the look of the flame and improves the fire pit performance. As gas is emitted from the burner, the media helps mix air with fuel resulting in a more uniform flame and a cleaner burn. The media will also spread the flame across all areas of the burner resulting in faster and more even ignitions.
· The media covering the burner should never exceed 3." With all media, the pilot burner MUST be left open to the air for proper ignition. When the media is placed correctly, you should see the top of the pilot burner shield. If ignition is delayed or inconsistent, you may need to remove some media from the pilot burner area. When using propane gas it is important to check for back pressure created by excessive use of media that could result in gas being forced back through the air mixer.
WARNING If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
WARNING Placement of media must NOT cover the pilot assembly. Do not use sand or small media.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL

OPERATION & USAGE
STARTING UP YOUR ELECTRONIC IGNITION COMPONENT · Start-up: A few "On/Off" cycles may be required in order to properly air within the gas lines after installation. The Fire Pit will lockout after 10 attempts to light the pilot - if this happens, power OFF then ON to restart. SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS 1. The hot wire igniter will glow red (meaning that it is powered) for 5 seconds before the pilot valve opens. 2. The hot wire igniter will only become powered for the initial 15 seconds of the 60-second pilot cycle. This sequence repeats up to 10 times (approx. 15 minutes) before going into lockout. 3. Pilot flame will ignite and warm the thermocouple, taking approximately 30 seconds to get hot. If it is not hot within 60 seconds, the system will shut down and you will restart from Step 1. 4. Once the thermocouple is hot, the main valve will open and allow the burner to ignite. 5. If the pilot flame is blown out at any point, the Electronic Ignition Components will shut down and will restart from Step 1. IMPORTANT · If power to the fire pit is turned off and immediately turned back on, the system will go into lockout mode. To reset, turn off the feature, wait 5 minutes, then turn on. · To reset after lockout, power the unit down and restart after the 5 minute cool down period. · Once the fire feature has been ignited DO NOT leave unattended. FIRE PIT SHUT-DOWN · Turn off the fire pit using your designated powering source - either remote control or wall switch. NOTE: For Remote Control use, you must also turn off the power to the electrical outlet or gas to the fire feature in order to prevent an accidental start. · Once the fire pit is cooled, you may put the appropriate cover over your feature for protection.
WARNING OVERHEATING: The Fire Feature will automatically close the gas valve if temperatures exceed 175° F inside the valve box to prevent component damage. When the unit cools below 175° F it will automatically restart. To correct overheating, ensure that the enclosure has adequate ventilation.

SOLUTION
1. Make sure transformer is powered. If so, replace transformer.
2. Check wiring for continuity, replace if broken.
3. Ensure wire is < 50 feet long and 12AWG minimum (smaller number is bigger wire). Replace with larger wire or shorten length. Replace with correct wiring if incorrect.
1. Replace Pilot Igniter
2. Repair Pilot Igniter Wiring & Connector.
Check to see if the pilot valve is open. If there is no gas flow: 1. Check input gas pressure. Maximum pressure 1/2 PSI. Install regulator if higher. 2. Check voltage to pilot valve. Voltage should read >10.2VDC. Check "No or Low Voltage" above if less. 3. Check pilot coil for open circuit. Replace pilot valve if open.
Check to see if the pilot valve is open. If there is gas flow, but no ignition/low flame: 1. Ensure air has been bled from gas line. 2. Consult The Outdoor Plus for minimum gas pressure. 3. If natural gas, ensure pilot jet is not for LP. 4. Check pilot injector for clogged jet. Clean or replace. 5. If pilot can be lit with a match, check igniter position and adjust, or check "No or Low Voltage" above.
1. Check for clogged pilot or injector and clean.
2. Check for correct pilot injector (LP or NG).
3. Tighten Connection.
4. Replace Thermocouple.
1. Maximum flame losses per heat cycle exceeded. Recyle power to reset.
2. Ensure pilot flame is impinging on the thermocouple and is adequately sheltered from the wind. If impingement is consistent and no wind present, replace thermocouple.

TROUBLESHOOTING
THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION VALVE IS INSTALLED BUT WHEN TURNED ON NOTHING HAPPENS:
The most common cause is an electrical wiring or power issue. Inspect all electrical connections carefully to confirm all wires from the transformer to the fire feature are connected properly. If wiring is properly connected, disconnect the wires at the fire feature and use a multimeter to confirm a minimum of 30V DC when the fire feature is turned on. If there is not a minimum of 30V DC at the fire feature, conduct the same test at the transformer to determine if the transformer is truly producing a minimum of 30V DC. If you do have a minimum of 30V DC at the Fire Feature, contact The Outdoor Plus for further assistance.
THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION VALVE IS TURNED ON, THE IGNITER GLOWS ORANGE AND GAS CAN BE HEARD FLOWING, BUT DOES NOT IGNITE:
The two most common causes to this fault are; Air in the Gas Line or low Electrical Current to the fire feature.
Air in the Gas Line:
New gas line installations often have air trapped inside that must be removed or purged prior to installing the Electronic Ignition Valve. If the line has not been properly purged, it may take several cycles of turning the fire feature on and off before the all the air is purged from the gas line.
Understanding how the Electronic Ignition Valve operates will help you go through the purging process. When you turn on the Electronic Ignition Valve, the igniter will begin to glow, followed by the pilot gas valve opening 4 seconds later. During next 3 minutes the igniter will cycle on and off every 30 seconds while the pilot gas valve will remain on the entire time. Accordingly, if you are attempting to purge air from the gas line, engage the system and leave it on for approximately 3 minutes. Next turn it off and then back on. Let the system run for an additional 3 minutes. When purging air from a new gas line, you may need to cycle the power several times as described above before gas begins to flow. If at any point you smell gas and still don't have ignition, you should attempt to light the pilot flame with a hand held lighter. If ignition occurs when you light it by hand, please read the section titled Electrical Current.
Electrical Current:
If purging the gas line does not solve the problem, the ignition failure is most likely that the igniter is not getting hot enough to light the gas. The main reason an igniter will not reach full temperature is low amperage.
Electricians will commonly check the electrical power, note there are a minimum of 30V DC and think everything is fine electrically, so there must be a problem with the Electronic Ignition Valve.
The deficiency is not in the volts but rather the amps.
Amperage reaching the fire feature is dependent on the gauge wire used between the transformer and the fire feature. Our installation instructions require no less than 12 gauge wire up to 50 feet and 10 gauge for installs over 50 feet. Smaller wire size will often be the problem in ignition.

LOW VOLTAGE IGNITION SYSTEM 30DC
INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL

TROUBLESHOOTING
STEPS TO CHECK FOR SUFFICIENT AMPERAGE:
1. CAUTION: Turn off the gas supply before proceeding.
2. Utilizing clamp on ammeter, clamp the ammater around one of the wires providing power to the Electronic Ignition Valve.
3. Turn on the Fire Feature.
4. Amperage should range between 1.4 to 1.6 amps initially. Four seconds after being turned on, the amperage will jump to approximately 2.0 amps.
If the amperage listed previously is not present AND the wire gauge used was less than listed above, change the wiring. Otherwise contact The Outdoor Plus for further assistance.
THE FIRE FEATURE WAS TURNED OFF, BUT SMALL FLAMES CAN STILL BE SEEN FLICKERING FROM THE FIRE FEATURE:
Turn the fire feature back on, let the main burner light and then turn it off again. You may need to do this several times. Small pieces of debris in the gas line may get caught in the main or pilot valve preventing it from completely closing. This is common in a new gas line. By cycling power you can often dislodge the debris. If cycling power does not rectify the problem, turn the gas off using the manual gas shutoff and contact The Outdoor Plus for further assistance.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

· Inspect the appliance before initial use. Clean the appliance at least annually and have it inspected by a qualified field service person.

· Periodically examine the burner. If the burner is dirty, clean it with a soft wire brush. Remove any dirt or debris in this area. This will ensure long life and trouble-free operation.

· The easiest way to clean the fire pit is to let it cool completely off. Spray the enclosure off with water. Note: Do NOT spray water directly onto the burner and igniter and wipe clean with a dry cloth.

· When not in use and after cooling, cover your fire pit with a full length cover. The cover will help protect your fire pit from detrimental effects of weather and environmental pollutants (see your local The Outdoor Plus dealer for details).

· Before placing the cover on the fire pit, make sure the unit is shut off, that the gas lines are disconnected and that the unit has had sufficient time to cool.

· More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is imperative the control compartment, burner and circulation air passageways of the appliance be kept clean and free.

MAINTENANCE

· Annually have a Licensed Gas Plumbing Technician check the hose connecting the propane gas cylinder to ensure it is not cracked or damaged in any way. All natural gas hook-ups should be serviced and inspected only by qualified installers only.

· Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners and block the gas and airflow to the burner ports. This creates a dangerous condition that can result in a fire from behind the valve panel. Inspect and clean the burners periodically.

· Any guard or other protective device removed for servicing the appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance.

· Inspect the fuel supply connection for signs of leakage (including the hose for propane models) before each use of the appliance.

· Do not repair or replace any part of your fire pit. Have a qualified technician perform all service. Any repairs made by a non-approved service technician will void your warranty.

STORAGE

· When your fire pit is not in use, turn off the gas at the source. To prolong your fire pit's lifespan, shield it from weather when idle. Let it cool before covering it. Warranty doesn't cover storage cover damage from heat or burns

· This appliance can be stored indoors only if it has been disconnected from its fuel supply.

· Store propane cylinders outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach of children. Disconnected cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

REMOVAL OF DEBRIS
· Do NOT perform the maintenance until surfaces of the fire feature are cool to the touch, The Outdoor Plus recommends leaving the fire pit off for at least 1 hour prior to servicing.
· Remove any debris on or around the fire feature such as spider webs, dirt, etc. by using a dry brush or compressed air.
· Pilot debris removal: Unscrew the pilot cover from the igniter. Use a dry brush or compressed air to clean out the pilot igniter. Place the pilot cover back on with the screw, after pilot igniter is cleaned.
· Cleaning soot off of the Thermocouple: Once every six months or as needed. Remove media around pilot, then the pilot hood lid by unscrewing the two screws. Clean thermocouple of any soot using soft brush. Be careful not to damage hot wire element. Place media back in, see Section 9 - Fire Media Usage.
· Visually inspect the pilot. The pilot flame should cover 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch of the thermocouple. Cleaning of the pilot orifice may be required by removing pilot hood screws, pilot hood, and removing the brass orifice.
· WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
