SECTION 1: ASSEMBLY
STEP 1 Enclosed are four bags of rocks, one factory installed 10'
propane-rated hose with attached regulator, and one propane tank
stabilizer ring.
STEP 2 Remove the plastic bags containing the rocks, and set
aside the propane stabilizer ring.
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.
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 5 The fourth bag of rocks are included as spares and labelled
“Spare Rocks”. These can be stored and used as replacements.
Note:
• Rocks are not to exceed a maximum weight of 2 kgs or 4.4 lbs.
NOTE TO USER:
Before igniting the unit for the first time, follow steps one
through 5 in the below Ignition section.

SECTION 2: IGNITION (continued)
STEP 4
***SLOWLY*** turn cylinder valve to the FULLY 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” (page 4).
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.
STEP 8: TROUBLESHOOTING
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 gas cylinder is low in fuel, or the excess flow
safety device has been tripped in the gas regulator.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
a. Confirm your gas cylinder is NOT empty.
b. Close the propane cylinder valve.
c. Open and then close the appliance gas knob valve to release
pressure.
d. Be sure the appliance valve is OFF.
e. Disconnect the gas hose from the propane cylinder.
f. Gently tap the gas regulator housing on the ground once or twice.
g. Reconnect the gas hose to the propane cylinder.
h. Slowly and fully open the propane cylinder valve.
Perform a Leak Test and follow the Ignition sequence.
TIP: Try tapping the regulator on the ground or hard surface 3 times.
Sometimes, this will reset the safety device in the regulator.
WARNING:
Ensure that no parts of your body, clothing, or any other
combustible material are above the burner before, during and
after ignition.
WHAT IS AN EXCESS FLOW SAFETY VALVE?
(EFV)
The EFV is a safety mechanism contained within the 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 Firebowl EFV trips if you open the
propane tank valve too quickly or if you leave the Firebowl
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.
SECTION 4: EXTINGUISHING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING:
The rocks are HOT!
WARNING:
Don’t burn yourself! Do not touch or handle the firebowl when
hot! To avoid injury always allow the firebowl to cool down for
at least 30 minutes before moving and handling the appliance.
Never handle rocks which have not been allowed to cool from
exposure to flame. Never attempt to rearrange rocks while unit
is ignited.
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

SECTION 5: FIREBOWL MAINTENANCE
REGULAR CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Your Firebowl requires periodic maintenance to keep it in good running order. Follow the steps below to ensure your appliance will
provide you with the best possible performance:
1. Keep your Firebowl out of the rain and store it in a dry place when not in use. Your firebowl is made from steel and will naturally form
rust if left out in the rain for extended lengths of time.
2. Always inspect and clear all valve and gas orifices of any foreign debris including spider webs prior to lighting. If any doubt there may
be a nest inside, use a pipe cleaner up the tube. See section ‘REMOVING INSECT NESTS’.
3. Clean any plugged burner orifices with a small paper clip.
4. Ensure that you clean the bowl of your firebowl after every use to keep it looking GREAT. Simply wipe the outer edge of the firebowl
with a damp paper towel or cloth to remove any combustion particulates. Do not use flammable or corrosive cleaning products on or
near this unit.
LAVA ROCKS
Your non-toxic natural lava rocks will form cracks and turn brown and black under normal operating
conditions. This does not affect the functionality of your firebowl.
The image shown is a visual reference on what the lava rocks will look like over time while under
normal operating conditions.
WARNING NOTES:
• Expected burn time; the anticipated burn time for your Firebowl
using a full 20 lb (9kg) propane cylinder is between 7 and 11 hours
depending on flame height setting and complete cylinder fill.
• 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.
• Elevation and temperature affect the performance (flame height)
of gas appliances.
• Ignite this unit only when safely placed on a non- combustible
surface.
• Never use this appliance in tall grass.
• This is NOT a toy.
• Children should be supervised at all times when using this unit
without exception.
• Please ensure that all adults and children which use or are near a
unit in use are aware of the hazard of high-surface temperatures
present on the unit during use and should use caution and stay
away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
• Do not place any objects other than supplied rocks inside the
burner component of the Firebowl.
• Do not add wood or any other materials to the fire. It is designed
to safely combust propane only.
• Do not connect to a remote gas supply.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
