Before performing a leak test, be sure that no sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area. Connect the
propane gas tank to the regulator and turn the valve on the unit to the “o” posion. Brush a soap and water mixture on
all connecons. Turn the gas supply on; if bubbles occur on any connecon there may be a leak. If you smell gas or a leak
is discovered turn the gas valve o, disconnect propane gas tank and do not use the appliance unl the leak is repaired.
Do not use the heang unit without inspecng the gas hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion you must replace the
hose (if applicable). Pumice stone/lava rocks/reglass could pop up and strike somebody’s face during the 20 minutes aer
igning. Flame height should be a yellow/blue color between 2 - 10 inches in height. Wait 5 minutes aer exnguishing
ame prior to placing a lid or protecve cover on heang item.

• Keep your re bowl free and clear from combusble materials.
• Visually inspect burner from obstruconsand keep replace free and clear from debris.
• Aer the burner and lava rocks/reglass are completely cooled down, use a so brush to get rid of the mild stains, loose
dirt and soil. Wipe with a so cloth.
• Stubborn stains, discoloraon and possibly rust ping can occur from exposure to harsh outdoor condions.
• Be careful not let any powder or solvent come in contact with painted or plasc components as damage may occur.
• Harsh weather condions may cause stubborn stains, discoloraon and possibly rust ping.
• Permanent damage may occur if powder or solvent comes in contact with painted or plasc components on the rebowl.
• Keep the rebowl stored away from direct sunlight.
• If storing this unit inside, disconnect the propane gas tank from the gas valve.
• Not using manufacturer approved or supplied parts/accessories may result in a defecve condion and void the warran-
ty of this heang unit.
• Always place lid (if applicable) or protecve cover on heang item when not in use.
Our composite material has been sealed with a treatment to prevent staining and moisture absorpon, but it does require
proper maintenance to ensure the integrity of the surface.Please see below for recommendaons on maintaining your
unit surface:
• Clean any spills immediately to prevent permanent surface staining or damage.Absorb any liquid spills with a clean, dry
cloth to avoid spreading of the spill to the rest of the table.Clean surface with a so, clean cloth or sponge. Mix a soluon
of warm clean water and mild dish soap to remove any surface dirt or mild spills. Rinse all soap soluon o of the rebowl
and dry completely to avoid water spots. Regularly cleaning the surface will aid in a longer lasng product.
• Do not use petroleum-based or abrasive cleaning products. Do not use any harsh brushes when cleaning the surface.
• Do not slide products across the surface to avoid permanent scratching and damage.
• Always use protecve mats such as coasters or placemats when eang on an surface. These protecve products will help
absorb sweang on cool beverages and will block out any heat rings from appearing beneath a warm mug or plate. When
placing hot dishes on an surface, always use mats or hot pads.
•The surface must be covered at all mes when not in use. Cover your product with an outdoor furniture cover when
not in use to protect it from the elements. Store your product indoors during winter months. Avoiding extreme cold
temperatures prevent cracking of the rebowl.
