PROPER VENTING
Certain re pit enclosures may require extra ventilation
depending on size, material or extended use.
1 Square Inch oventilation is REQUIRED or every 25,000
BTUs.
This is especially important for propane units, as propane
gas is heavier than air and can pool in the bottom oan
enclosure.
ACCEPTABLE MEDIA
»Lava rock no smaller than 1/2" average diameter.
»1/2" to 3/4" Fire glass specically designed and
approved or re eatures.
»Stones oman made materials (reractory) designed
or re pits.
»DO NOT USE SAND, DO NOT FILL HOLLOW AREAS.
Media used in the re eature enhances the look othe
ame and improves the re pit perormance. As gas is
emitted from the burner, the media helps mix air with
uel resulting in a more uniorm ame and a cleaner
burn. The media will also help spread the ame across
all areas othe burner resulting in aster and more even
ignition.
The media covering the burner should never exceed 2".
Iusing re glass, we recommend you use 1/2" diameter
minimum and only cover the burner 1/2" to 3/4". With all
media, the pilot burner MUST be let open to the air or
proper ignition. When the media is placed correctly, you
should see the top of the pilot burner shield. If ignition is
delayed or inconsistent, you may need to remove some
media from the pilot burner area. When using propane
gas it is important to check for back pressure created
by excessive use omedia that could result in gas being
forced back through the air mixer.
OPERATION
FIRE FEATURE START UP
1. Beore turning appliance on, visually inspect re
eature to ensure combustible materials have not
collected inside the feature which could burn once the
re eature is turned on. Be sure anyone standing near
the re eature is aware you will be turning the re
feature on before actually turning it on.
2. Turn re eature on by turning on the electrical device
used to power the re eature.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION DURING IGNITION
When powered, indicating a call for heat, the unit will wait
or Pre-Purge time. The HSI will be energized or warm
up time, then the pilot gas valve will energize or Trial-
or-Ignition time. The HSI will turn of ater Ignition Time.
Ithe ame is detected on the thermo-couple beore the
end othe trial or ignition time, the HSI will turn of. The
main valve will turn on and the pilot valve will remain on
until power is removed or ame signal is lost. I ame is
lost, the control will turn of the gas valve, and ater the
ame loss recycle delay, restart the ignition sequence. I
aame is not detected during the Trial-or-Ignition time
and Trials-or-Ignition remain, the pilot and HSI will turn
of and wait or Inter-Purge time beore starting the next
ignition attempt. Iaame is detected prior to turning
on the gas valve, the control will stop sequence and
remain in saety shutdown until the ame signal is below
minimum threshold, or drops continuously by minimum
threshold value beore continuing.
»Power is applied.
»Hot Surace Igniter (HSI) becomes hot and 4
seconds later the pilot gas valve opens.
»Within 10 seconds opower application pilot ame
should be visible
»Within 10 seconds opilot ame ignition, the burner
(re ring/burner bar) should ignite.
FIRE FEATURE SHUTDOWN
Turn re eature of by turning of the electrical device
used to power the re eature.
WARNING: Venting is required to dissipate heat and
any residual uel. Failure to provide proper ventilation
could result in overheating and or explosion.
WARNING: Do not use any other material as media
in the re eature other than those listed below.
WARNING: HOT - DO NOT TOUCH - MAY RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS

- Alert children and adults to dangers of high
temperatures.
- Flammable materials should not be hung rom the
