Section 4. Burner Setup and Adjustment
4.1 Burner Setup
1. Turn the manual gas valve or key valve to the “Off” position.
2. Energize the 120 VAC coming into the control panel.
3. At each burner assembly, check that the spark electrode is arcing
from the pilot hood to the button. You should be able to hear and see
the electrode spark. If there is no spark, make sure that the burner
assembly is receiving 12VAC from the control panel.
4. Reposition the burner assembly so that it is sitting level in the bowl.
5. Open the manual gas valve or key valve.
6. Energize 120V to the control panel.
7. After all bowls have been lit, they can be adjusted for ame size.
IMPORTANT: At this time, the corresponding re bowl should ignite. If
the burner does not light, it may be a result of air in the
gas line. If this happens, carefully purge the air from the
gas line by disconnecting the gas hose from the burner
assembly. The end of the gas hose should be outside of the
bowl when purging air from the gas line.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of property damage and serious injury, including
death, when purging air from a propane system, be sure to disconnect
wires going to the burner assemblies (terminals X1/X2) located in
Grand Effects®control panel. There should be no power at the burner
assemblies when purging propane. The propane adder valve should
remain wired and energized when purging. After purging is complete,
make sure the area is vented and free from built-up gas.
Reinstall wires at X1/X2 terminals, thus providing power to burner
assemblies.

4.2 Burner Adjustment
Note: Each burner should have a ame height of approximately 12″ – 15″
from the top of the bowl. If the pressure to the burner is too low, it
will create an unstable pilot, resulting in possible On/Off cycling.
1. The height of the ame can be adjusted at each burner by opening or
closing the ½″ gas valve or keyed valve located on each column as
shown in Figure 7.
Each burner should be adjusted as required so that the ame size at
each bowl is similar in appearance to each other.
2. After all burners have been adjusted, make sure that the burner
assembly is repositioned so that it is sitting level in each bowl.
3. Install decorative rock or glass on top of the “burner support” and
burner assembly. Larger lava rock is recommended (2″ - 4″ in size). It
will work better than smaller rock. Make sure that all rock is clear of the
pilot area and hood area. Pilot hood area needs to remain clear of rock
for proper ventilation.

Fire Bowls and Inserts Premium Line
Automated Operation Page 17
Note: Do not use glass with propane installations. (If you use glass
with natural gas, you will need to lay down stainless mesh screen
to prevent glass from falling through. Do not cover the burner
assembly and support plate. Fire glass requires a glass pilot hood,
which is different than a standard pilot hood used with lava rock.
Please consult the Grand Effects®Glass Install Manual. If you use
1/4″ pieces of lava, it should be treated as a glass installation).
Note: Cut Mesh screen
to expose burner
assembly.
Figure 11. Mesh Screen Installation
Note: Both sides of the pilot hood need to be clear of rock for proper
ventilation.
WARNING
Use only approved decorative media to cover the burner assembly.
Lava and tumbled lava/ceramic stone and fire glass are all accepted
media.
To avoid the risk of property damage and serious injury, including death,
use caution when in the immediate area, as pieces may pop or explode
when exposed to heat or when wet and exposed to heat.
Important: Do not use re glass with propane installations.

Page 18 Fire Bowls and Inserts Premium Line

Section 5. Maintenance
Periodically clean the burner assembly and bowl with a wet cloth or
cleaning solution to remove carbon build-up.
Frequency of the cleaning will depend on usage.
Frequently inspect the gap between the base of the bowl and the mounting
bracket. It should be kept free of dirt and debris that may restrict cooling air
and drainage (see Figure 12).
Periodically inspect the underside of the burner assembly for any signs of
excessive temperatures.
Check that all gas connections are tight.
The units should be cycled frequently, especially after a rain. The burner
assembly will not work in snow and ice conditions. The burner assembly
should be covered and protected from snow and ice. The burner should
not be operated in high wind conditions. High winds can limit the cooling air
required for cooling of the burner assembly and cause over heating of the
electronics.
