LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE
• Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the gas
supply has been disconnected or not.
• Conduct a leak test anytime the gas supply is connected to
the regulator or any part of the gas system is disconnected
or replaced.
• As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your
Fire Feature 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 only a leak testing solution as specified below.
Leak Testing Procedure:
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of sudsy water by mixing in
a spray bottle half-liquid soap and half water.
2. Check and make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF
position.
3. Turn gas supply valve counter clockwise one turn to open.
4. Apply leak-testing solution by spraying on joints of the gas
delivery system.
5. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak
is present.
6. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing
the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the
manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the gas supply valve
if it should become damaged. The gas supply valve must be
replaced.

VENTURI/
ORIFICE
OXYGEN INTAKE ADJUSTMENT
The Venturi is located under the base of the
firefeature. The Venturi positioning keeps
the flame looking yellow and natural.
The more oxygen you let in, the smaller
and bluer the flame. If the oxygen is shut
off completely, the flame will contain more
soot and unburned contaminents.
You may adjust the Venturi according to
visual preference.

LAVA ROCK ONLY
Lava rocks are the recommended rock for
use in the firebowl. Lava rock is best suited
because it was made by heat and therefore
does not react when used in a high heat en-
vironment; it is also light weight and readily
available.
Lava rocks come in all sizes, from pebbles to
boulders. 4” to 10” is the best size to use
with your firebowl. You will need approxi-
mately 100 to 200lbs for the firebowls.
Please contact the following website to or-
der lava rocks if you are unable to find any
at your local garden supply store:
http://www.fountainsnslate.com/
1-800-643-5804 or 1-386-586-4062
WARNING: Other rocks may contain water,
and when heated will split, crack or burst
and are therefore to be used at your own
risk and not recommended.

MAINTENANCE
Properly maintained, your decorative gas ap-
pliance will provide years of useful service. A
regular routine maintenance program such as
the program outlined below should be estab-
lished and followed. It is further recommend-
ed to follow the maintenance procedures on
safety valves and other accessory equipment
according to the manufacturers instructions.
It is recommended to have at least one annual
inspection performed by a certified gas tech-
nician.
Routine Preventive Maintenance:
Have the appliance serviced and leak checked
annually by a qualified service technician.
Keep the area inside and around the ap-
pliance and base free of debris, foreign
matter, or obstruction. Regularly remove all
broken rock chips, leaves, branches, grass, etc
from fire feature on a daily or weekly basis.
Clean any corrosion or scale off burner, con-
trol panel, and venturi with a wire brush.
Make sure that venturi remains set in position.
See page 12.
Visually inspect the burner regularly both
while firing and while turned off. Replace any
corroded parts.
Visually inspect pilot while main burner is on
and while main burner is off. Replace any cor-
roded parts. Be certain that pilot position is
correct and that pilot reliably and accurately
ignites main burner.
Use a tooth pick or thin wire to poke out any
clog or obstruction from the small holes in the
burner, only when the burner is off.
Check to be certain that the area the gas
equipment operates in is free of obstruction.
Remember, that for proper combustion, prop-
er operation, and proper ventilation, flow of
air around your gas equipment must be un-
obstructed. Never store combustible materials
or flammable liquids near any gas equipment.
When burners are not in use for a long time,
or are used only seasonally, care should be
taken to wire brush scale off burners and
inside venturi. An air compressor can be
used to blow out cobwebs or nests which may
clog orifices.
*If any unusual behavior of the gas equip-
ment is noted during inspection, shut the
burner off until qualified service assistance
can be obtained.
*For your safety, all repairs on the burner sys-
tem should be performed by qualified service
personnel only as it involves disconnecting gas
supply and performing leak testing.
