SECTION 1: ASSEMBLY
STEP 1 Enclosed are four bags of rocks, one factory installed 10'
propane-rated hose with attached regulator, one propane tank
stabilizer ring, one lid and one carry strap.
SECTION 2: IGNITION
STEP 1
Ensure that unit valve dial is in the
“OFF” position by pushing and
turning clockwise until the dial stops.
STEP 2
Securely attach regulator
(large end of hose) to your
propane cylinder.
NOTE TO USER:
Before igniting the unit for the first time, follow steps one
through 5 in the below Ignition section.
STEP 5 The fourth bag of rocks are included as spares and
labelled “Spare Rocks”. These can be stored and used as
replacements or deployed for additional coverage depending on
preference.
Our preferred configuration is
pictured here.
Never handle rocks which
have not been allowed to
cool from exposure to flame.
Never attempt to rearrange
rocks while unit is ignited.
STEP 2 Remove plastic bags containing the rocks, propane
stabilizer ring and cover and carry kit.
STEP 3 Open the two bags containing mid-sized rocks, labelled
conveniently for you “M” and arrange in burner area.
STEP 4 Open the single bag containing larger sized rocks, labelled
conveniently for you “ L” and arrange on top of the medium sized
rocks.
Your included Cover & Carry
kit is to be used for storage and
transportation as shown.
Note:
• Rocks are not to exceed a
maximum weight of 2 kgs
or 4.4 lbs.
• Never use a lid to extinguish
the flame on your Outland Firebowl®
• The lid and carry straps (Cover & Carry Kit) is to be used for
storage and transportation only.
WARNING:
Never use the lid to cover your Outland Firebowl® while the
Firebowl burner is in operation. After use allow the Firebowl to
cool for at least 10 minutes prior to deploying the lid and carry
strap.

En-6
1-888-514-1663 | WWW.OUTLANDLIVING.COM
STEP 3
Extend hose to full length and ensure that the propane tank is as
far as safely possible from the Firebowl and place the tank in the
included stabilizer ring.
STEP 4
***SLOWLY*** turn cylinder valve to the open position to avoid
tripping the CSA excess flow safety device in the gas regulator.
For more information about the CSA excess flow safety device see
STEP 8 (What is an Excess Flow Safety Valve? (EFV).
STEP 5
Leak Test all connections. See section labeled “Leak Test”.
SECTION 2: IGNITION CONTINUED
STEP 6
Using a lighter or match, ignite
lighter and hold flame slightly
above the burner, then open the
valve on the appliance slowly
by turning (counter-clockwise)
until the unit ignites.
STEP 7
Once the unit is burning normally
set the dial to desired flame
height.
WARNING: Ensure that no parts of your body, clothing, or any other combustible material are above the burner before, during and
after ignition. Ensure the cover is stored safely away from the Firebowl when the Firebowl is in use.
STEP 8
GOT A LOW FLAME?: If your firebowl experiences low flame, or flame height does not appear to be normally adjusted by the
gas knob, it is likely that the CSA excess flow safety device has been tripped in the hose regulator.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Close propane cylinder valve. Open and then close Firebowl gas knob valve to release pressure.
Disconnect and reconnect the propane cylinder valve connection. Slowly open propane cylinder valve. Perform Leak Test and
follow Ignition sequence.
WHAT IS AN EXCESS FLOW SAFETY VALVE? (EFV)
The EFV is a safety mechanism contained within every propane gas
regulator. The purpose of the EFV is to restrict the gas supply if too
much gas is flowing too quickly through the gas hose. For example,
this could happen if the gas hose was severed.
It is normal that your Fire Bowl EFV trips if you open the propane tank
valve too quickly or if you leave the Fire Bowl gas knob open before
lighting, or both.

STEP 1
Turn cylinder valve to the “Closed” position.
STEP 2
Turn appliance valve to the “Off” position
by pushing and turning knob clockwise.
STEP 3
Allow unit to cool for at least five (5)
minutes before relighting.
1Keep your Firebowl out of the rain and store it in a dry place.
2 This device has been engineered to provide the maximum
amount of heat and comfort. If you experience any signs of
your propane cylinder ‘freezing off’ or start to experience
lower flames than usual, please simply turn the burner control
setting to low for 5–10 minutes, or replace the cylinder with a
full one.
If there are no flames present,
as demonstrated in the image
to the left, the appliance is likely
not burning. If this is the case,
IMMEDIATELY turn the valve to the
“off” position if it is not already
and repeat the ignition procedure
as outlined in Section 2.
Upon igniting the appliance,
visually verify that the burner is
indeed burning as demonstrated
in the image to the left. The
presence of flames will confirm
that the burner is burning.
Periodically check that the burner
flame is present during operation
by visually inspecting the burner to ensure the presence of flames.
SECTION 3: PERIODIC INSPECTION OF BURNER FLAMES
3 Ensure that you clean the bowl of your Outland Firebowl®after
every use to keep it looking GREAT. Simply wiping the outer edge
of the Firebowl with a damp paper towel or cloth to remove any
combustion particulates.
4 Ensure to keep the lid on when storing your Outland Firebowl®in
order to protect it from the elements.
