7. Open the box of lava rocks, put the lava rocks (H) into the fire bowl of the fire table. A gas fire pit requires approximately 13.2 lbs of lava rocks. NOTE: Leave the pilot box uncovered by the lava rock.
   WARNING: Keep children away during assembly, as this item contains lava rocks, which are small pieces and can be swallowed by children.
   CAUTION: Please be advised that this fire pit is equipped with natural lava rock that may crackle or pop the first time it is used. The lava rock has been pre-heat treated to release any natural inherent moisture. However, in rare cases on first time use, the lava rock may pop or burst causing small pieces of hot rock to potentially be a projectile. These hot pieces could cause injury or property damage. As a precaution, please follow these instructions the first time the fire pit is used:
   1. On first use, do not stand over or near the fire pit once lit.
   2. Light the fire pit and let it run on high for 20 minutes.
   3. Once lit, do not go within 12 feet of the fire pit for at least the first 20 minutes on the first use to ensure any residual moisture trapped in the rocks gets released.
   4. After the first heating cycle, there is little further concern. It is rare that any crackling will happen on the first use, this is simply a precaution.
   5. Keep lava rock covered and dry when not in use to prevent additional moisture from getting in the rocks.
   6. If lava rocks are exposed to moisture after first use, run the burner on low to gradually warm and dry the rocks before repeating steps 1 through 3.
8. Open the door panel (E). Place the gas cylinder into the gas cylinder support (G) and connect the regulator by turning the black handle clockwise to tighten.

Leak Test

To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:

• Always perform the leak test as described below before lighting this appliance or each time the cylinder is connected for use.
• Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
• Do not use this appliance until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply and call a gas appliance service shop or your local propane gas supplier.

To perform a leak test:

1. Make 2~3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwasher detergent and three parts water. Note: make sure control knob is "OFF".
2. Apply several drops of solution where the cylinder attaches to regulator, inspect the solution at the connection looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the connection is secure. If bubbles appear, the connection has the leak, disconnect the regulator, reconnect, perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to cylinder's supplier.
   Illustration: Cylinder / regulator connection (Figure 17).
3. Apply several drops of solution where natural gas fixture attaches to natural gas supply system connection. If NO bubbles appear, the connections are secure. If bubbles appear, the connection has the leak, disconnect, reconnect, perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, the conversion hose is defective and should replace with a new one.
   Illustration: Natural gas fixture / natural gas supply system connection (Figure 18).
4. Apply several drops of solution where gas valve attaches to bellows, where gas valve attaches to regulator hose, and where inlet tube attaches to bellows. If NO bubbles appear, the connections are secure. If bubbles appear, the connection has the leak, disconnect, reconnect, perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, both parts are defective and should be replaced with the new ones.
