Natural Gas and Propane Connections
Our fire features arrive pre-assembled with the burner and key valve intact.
Please refer to the burner manufacturer’s instruction manual included in your delivery for
instructions regarding installation, clearances and operation.
Each of our fire pits are built with air-flow openings that comply with ventilation requirements.
PLEASE NOTE:
VENTILATION AREAS MUST REMAIN OPEN AND UNBLOCKED
Ventilation openings may be used to accommodate running a gas line.
Note regarding ELEMENT and SERENADE fire features:
If the gas line needs to be placed in a different location, a hole can be drilled in the fire pit using
a 1” paddle bit. After removing the burner, drill the hole from the inside of the fire pit.
Section 5.
Completing the Installation Process
After the gas connections are complete in accordance with the burner manufacturer’s instruction
manual, insert burner tray into position on your fire pit.
AVOID covering the burner holes as much as possible when arranging Lava Rock or Decorative
Stone on your fire feature:
•Lava Rock
ØUse the provided lava rock and place directly on top of the burner’s surface; the
lava rock aggregate must be placed on the burner before the decorative stone.
•Decorative Stone
ØOnce the lava rock is in place, distribute beach stone or crushed glass over the
entire surface area and cover all lava rock.

ATTENTION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING FIRE PIT STONE SAFETY
•It is highly recommended to inspect and discard all stones with hairline cracks BEFORE
placing them around the gas burner
•Lava rock and beach stone are both 100% natural products and occasional cracking
and/or popping may occur when heated
•When using your fire pit for the first time, it is recommended to burn the fire pit for at
least 1-2 hours while keeping a safe distance in the rare event that breakage or popping
occurs
•Using a protective vinyl weather cover may also help avoid breakage as moisture can
cause stone to pop or crack when it is wet
PLEASE NOTE:
Heat-treated aggregate can be purchased through DEKKO – DO NOT use untreated aggregate.
In addition, please note that lava rock and beach stone are both 100% natural products and
occasional cracking and/or popping may occur when heated.

Safe Operation of Your Fire Feature Continued…
6.4) Safe Use of Electronic Ignition Burners
For optimal safety, please fully deactivate your electronic ignition fire pit before enclosing it
with such items as a tabletop or weather cover.
While the electronic ignition burner is a convenient and safe system when used properly, it may
have the potential to spontaneously ignite if the instructions below are not followed:
To fully deactivate your electronic ignition unit, choose one of these options:
(1) Disable hydro through a breaker
(2) Disable hydro through a wall switch

6.7) Water Contact
Note: DEKKO supplies vinyl weather covers to help protect your fire feature from rain and
snow. Call our team to purchase yours! (855-422-0077)
•Do not use your fire feature if it becomes submerged in water; call a qualified technician
immediately to inspect the appliance and replace any parts as required
•Do not use fire pit if decorative stones are wet. Allow the fire feature to dry for 45
minutes prior to coming within 15 feet of contact
Section 7.
Maintenance and Care
7.1) Promoting the Longevity of your Fire Pit
•Always ensure that your fire pit is draining water properly and drainage/ventilation
openings are not obstructed by debris
•Cover your fire pit when it is not in use for extended periods of time
7.2) Removing Stains
•Concrete can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution – never use abrasives or
strong chemicals as they may stain the surface. A spill should be cleaned immediately by
carefully blotting with a paper towel or clean white towel. Do not ‘wipe’ a spill as it may
force the potential stain deeper into the surface. If the stain persists, please contact our
team for further instructions (855-422-0077)
7.3) Sealant
•Sealing your fire pit for additional protection is not required, but if desired, you can seal
the surface with a water-based outdoor sealer that will not yellow over time
PLEASE NOTE: Using anything other than the recommend sealer may void your
warranty as some sealants may cause yellowing and flaking to your fire pit

Maintenance and Care Continued…
7.4) Hairline Cracks and Fissures
•Do not be alarmed if you see a hairline crack in your fire pit as this is a natural
characteristic of concrete and not a defect. All of our products are fibre-reinforced which
prevents cracks from growing
7.5) Annual Servicing
OUR TEAM AT DEKKO recommends inspecting your fire feature annually to promote
the longevity and safe usage of your product.
•Ensure gas to the fire pit is shut off and the fire feature is completely cooled
before servicing or cleaning
•If flames exhibit abnormal shapes or behaviour, or if the fire feature fails to ignite,
your burner may require cleaning and/or servicing. The appliance can be cleaned
by carefully removing debris and remnants from the burner with a soft-bristled
brush.
•If you notice evidence of damage to the burner, you must contact the burner
manufacturer
•For optimal performance, arrange an annual inspection of your fire feature by a
qualified service technician.

Troubleshooting
Unstable Legs
The legs of our fire pits are installed directly into the
mould to yield a reliably level surface each time.
If you are experiencing a teetering or unstable leg,
please ensure that the installation surface is also level.
Gas Odour
If you smell gas exuding from your fire pit, please shut
off the gas to the appliance immediately. If the odour
persists, please call your gas supplier.
Water Contact
Do not sure the appliance if any part has been
submerged under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system or gas control that has
been under water.
Low Burning Flame / Natural Gas
A reduction in your fire pit flame level may happen for
various reasons depending on the model of your fire pit.
Lower flame levels may be the result of improper gas
pressure or inadequate gas supply line.
If the procedure above does not improve the flame
quality, remove any excess stones to ensure the burn
holes of your fire pit are not covered.
Low Burning Flame / Liquid Propane
A reduction in your fire pit flame level may happen for
various reasons depending on the model of your fire pit.
Lower flame levels may be the result of improper
lighting procedures.
To address low flame levels, please be sure that the
chrome key is in the “off” position before the tank is
turned on. Turn the tank on slowly to allow the pressure
within to equalize before turning the fire pit on
completely.
If the procedure above does not improve the flame
quality, please check the gas level of your liquid propane
tank, or remove any excess stones to ensure that the burn
holes of your fire pit are not covered.

Troubleshooting Continued…
Discoloured Stones
Deposits of magnesium and iron may be present on the
beach stones, notably on our light and ivory stones. This
is a natural reaction to heat and is not considered a
defect.
If needed, replacement heat resistant aggregate may be
purchased through DEKKO.
Black Soot
Sooting is an inherent bi-product of natural gas and
propane.
To limit the amount of sooting, avoid placing
rocks/stones directly above the flame as this may cause
excessive impingement.
Alternatively, some soot can be removed by washing
stones with soap and water.
Cracking / Popping Stones
The lava rock and beach stone supplied with all DEKKO
fire pits originate from a volcanic region are considered
“heat resistant” up to 180,000 BTU’s.
Because lava rock and beach stone is a 100% natural
product, occasional cracking and/or popping may occur
when heated or as the stones naturally weather over
time.
When using your fire pit for the first time, it is
recommended to burn the fire pit for at least 1-2 hours
while keeping a safe distance in the rare event that
breakage or popping occurs.
It is recommended to go through your fire pit every 8-12
months and discard stones that have any visible signs of
weathering or cracking.
If needed, heat resistant aggregate may be purchased
through DEKKO.

from Step 1, add 1” to each dimension and draw on
the basalt material. See Fig. 2.
2) Measure the location of the supply line in relation to
the inside perimeter of the fire pit.
3) Transfer this supply line measurement to the Basalt
material by drawing an “X”. See Fig. 2.
4) The “X” should be no larger than the diameter of the
supply line for a tight fit.
5) Using scissors or cutting tool, cut along the lines from
Step 4 and 6. Discard scrap pieces.
6) With the Aluminum side UP, insert the Basalt
material over the supply line. Push the Basalt
material all the way down until it rests on top of the
