WARNING
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored under the
re pit, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be
seriously damaged.
Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface
temperatures. Stay away from these surfaces to avoid
burning skin or igniting clothing.
Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity
of the re pit.
Do not hang clothing or any other ammable materials
from the re pit, or place on or near the re pit.
Replace any guard or protective device removed for
servicing the appliance prior to placing back in service.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The re pit should be inspected before
use and annually by a qualified service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required as necessary. It is
imperative that the control compartment, burners, and
circulating air passageway of the appliance be kept
clean.
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane
gas is invisible, odourless, and flammable. An
odourant is normally added to help detect leaks
and can be described as a “rotten egg” smell. The
odourant can fade over time so leaking gas is not
always detectable by smell alone.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking
propane will sink to the lowest level possible. It
can ignite by ignition sources including matches,
lighters, sparks or open ames of any kind many
feet away from the original leak. Use only propane
gas set up for vapor withdrawal.
• Store or use propane gas in compliance with
local ordinances and codes or with ANSI/NFPA 58.
Turn o󰀨 propane when not in use.
• This product can expose you to chemicals,
including flame retardant chemicals, phthalates
and lead, which are known to the state of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. For more information go
to: P65warnings.ca.gov/products.
DANGER indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Failure to comply with the
precautions and instructions
provided with this fire pit can
result in death, serious bodily
injury and property loss or damage
from hazards of fire, explosion,
burn, asphyxiation, and/or carbon
monoxide poisoning. Only persons
who can understand and follow the
instructions should use or service
this re pit.
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Keep solid combustibles,
such as building materials, paper or
cardboard, a safe distance away from
the fire pit as recommended by the
instructions.
• Provide adequate clearances around
air openings into the combustion
chamber.
• Never use the re pit in spaces which
do or may contain volatile or airborne
combustibles, or products such as
gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust
particles or unknown chemicals
• During operation, this product can
be a source of ignition. Keep fire pit
area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, paint thinner,
cleaning solvents and other ammable
vapours and liquids. Do not use fire
pit in areas with high dust content.
Minimum fire pit clearances from
combustible materials: 122 cm (4 ft)
from the sides and 122 cm (4 ft) from
the rear, 183 cm (6 ft) feet from ceiling.

DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
This re pit is a combustion appliance.
All combustion appliances produce
carbon monoxide (CO) during the
combustion process. This product
is designed to produce extremely
minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO
if used and maintained in accordance
with all warnings and instructions. Do
not block air ow into or out of the re
pit. Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning
produces flu-like symptoms, watery
eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue
and possibly death. You can't see it
and you can't smell it. It's an invisible
killer. If these symptoms are present
during operation of this product get
fresh air immediately!
For outdoor use only.
Never use inside house, or other
unventilated or enclosed areas.
This fire pit consumes air (oxygen).
Do not use in unventilated or enclosed
areas to avoid endangering your life.
WARNING
Don’t burn solid fuels in this
appliance

LEAK TESTING
WARNING: Before using this outdoor re pit, make sure you have read, understand and
are following all information provided in the Dangers and Warnings. Failure to follow
those instructions can cause death, serious injury or property damage.
WARNING
DANGER
CAUTION Strong odours, colds, sinus congestion, etc. may prevent the detection of
propane by smell. Use caution and common sense when testing for leaks.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
Never use your re pit without leak testing all gas connections, hoses and propane tank.
To prevent re or explosion hazard:
• DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Perform test OUTDOORS in a well-ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
• Never perform a leak test with a match or open ame.
• Never perform a leak test while the re pit is in use or while the re pit is still hot.
• After assembling your re pit and before lighting for the rst time, even if purchased fully-assembled.
• Every time the LP gas cylinder is relled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected
or replaced.
• Any time your re pit has been moved.
• At least once per year or if your re pit has not been used for more than 60 days.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Ensure all control knobs are set to the OFF position.
3. Turn on the gas at the cylinder valve. Turn the cylinder valve knob counter-clockwise until
fully opened. If you hear a rushing sound or smell gas, turn the gas off. Tighten any leaking
connections. If the leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop leak, re-inspect
propane tank rubber seal.
4. Apply the soapy water mixture to the following:
A) Supply tank (cylinder) welds B) Connection nut to tank valve
C) Back side of connection nut to brass nipple D) Brass nipple connection into regulator
E) Regulator connections to gas supply hoses F) Hose connection to gas manifold
G) The full length of gas supply hose H) Tank valve to cylinder
5. Check each place listed (A-H) for growing bubbles, which indicates a leak. Large leaks may not be
detected by bubbles but should produce a rushing sound or gas smell.
6. Turn o󰀨 gas supply at cylinder valve.
7. Turn on control knobs to release gas pressure in hose.
8. Turn control knobs to OFF position.
9. Tighten any leaking connections. If leak is detected at connection nut and tightening does not stop
leak, re-inspect propane tank rubber seal.
10.Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
11. Turn o󰀨 gas supply at cylinder valve until you are ready to use your re pit.
12.Wash o󰀨 soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are
developing and not in a windy or noisy area so larger leaks can be detected by smell or sound.
