BATTERY
LEAK TEST
WARNING:
Make sure the control knob is in the “OFF” position. Unscrew the push button cap on the ignitor module located
on the control panel to access the battery compartment. The ignitor module requires one AAA size battery.
BATTERY IS NOT INCLUDED. (See Figure 14).
1. Please observe proper polarity and use the correct battery type when placing or replacing the battery.
Improper installation could result in ignition failure.
2. Please remove the battery if consumed or if product is to be left unused for a long period of time.
1. Always perform the leak test as described below before lighting this appliance or each time the
cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use this appliance until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak,
disconnect the propane supply. Call a gas appliance service shop or your local propane gas supplier.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
cylinder-regulator connection (Figure 15) gas valve-bellows connection (Figure 16)

09
To perform a leak test:
1. Make 2~3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts water.
Noted: make sure control knob is “OFF”.
2. Apply several drops of solution where the cylinder attaches to regulator (See Figure 15), 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.
3. Apply several drops of solution where gas valve attaches to bellows (See Figure 16), where gas valve
attaches to hose (See Figure 17), and where inlettube attaches to bellows (See Figure 18). 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 part is defective and
should replace the part.

Observe Flame Height When Lit: The burner will display blue and yellow flames. These flames should be
a blue / yellow color between 1~2 in. height (See Figure 20). These flames should not be yellow or produce
thick smoke. This would indicate an obstruction of airflow through the burners. The flames should be blue
with straight yellow tops.

To enjoy the outstanding performance from your fire pit, make sure you perform the following activities on a
regular basis:
1. Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.
2. While cleaning the fire pit, make sure to keep the area around the burner dry at all times. DO NOT
submerge the control valve assembly. If the gas control is submerge in water, DO NOT use it. It must
be replaced.
3. Air flow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner, and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of
possible blockage include:
(1). Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame.
(2). Fire pit does NOT reach the desired temperature.
(3). Fire pit flame is excessively uneven.
(4). Fire pit makes popping noises.
(5). Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifice. This dangerous condition can damage fire pit and
render it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy-duty pipe clearer. Compressed air
may help clear away small particles.
4. Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. Clean burner with warm soapy water if any carbon deposits
develop.
5. Cover your fire pit with an outdoor weather cover when not in use to protect it from the elements.
NOTE: Always allow fire pit to cool COMPLETELY before you cover the fire pit with an outdoor weather
cover or you attempt the service or maintenance.
