EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD: Keep solid combustibles, such as building materials, paper or cardboard,
a safe distance away from the re pit as recommended by the instructions.
Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.
NEVER use the re pit in spaces which do or may contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products
such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles or unknown chemicals
During operation, this product can be a source of ignition. Keep re pit area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning solvents and other ammable vapors and liquids.
Use a propane gas tank (sold separately). DO NOT attach to a remote gas supply. Propane gas is not
natural gas. Only use propane for this rebowl.
EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD: Never store propane near high heat, open ames, pilot lights, direct
sunlight, other ignition sources or where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49 C).
Propane vapors are heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the
area immediately.
NEVER install or remove propane cylinder while re pit is lighted, near ame, pilot lights, other ignition
sources or while re pit is hot to touch.
Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated space out of reach of children. Never store the
propane cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If re pit is to be stored indoors, disconnect
the propane cylinder for outdoor storage.
We cannot foresee every use which may be made of our re pit. Check with your local re safety
authority if you have questions about re pit use. Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat
producing products for specic uses. Your local authorities can advise you about these. If no local codes
exist, follow National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to local codes.
If no local codes exist, follow the current National standards of CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD: This re pit is a combustion appliance. All combustion appliances
produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the combustion process. This product is designed to produce
extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used and maintained in accordance with all warnings
and instructions. DO NOT block air ow into or out of the re pit.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces u-like symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness,
fatigue and possibly death. You can’t see it and you can’t smell it. It’s an invisible killer. If these symptoms
are present during operation of this product get fresh air immediately!

This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas is invisible, odorless, and ammable. An odorant is
normally added to help detect leaks and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can
fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable by smell alone.
Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by
ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or open ames of any kind many feet away from the
original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
Store or use propane gas in compliance with local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58. Turn off
propane when not in use.
LP GAS WARNING: DO NOT exceed 1/4” depth of lava rocks directly above burner holes. Applying too
much media may result in unburned gas pooling in the rebowl. Ventilation is required to allow fresh air
into the enclosure and for any residual gas to escape.
The re pit should be inspected before use and annually by a qualied service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required as necessary. It is imperative that the control compartment, burners, and
circulating air passageway of the appliance be kept clean.
Lava rocks can hit someone in the face or eyes during the initial start of this unit. Keep away from the
rebowl for the rst 20 minutes after it has been ignited.
The max inlet supply pressure: Max gas supply 11”s.c. (2.74kPa)
DO NOT enlarge valve orices or burner ports when cleaning the valve or burner.
