A. BURNER ASSEMBLY
All Models:
• Check for damage. Do not use damaged components.
• The hose assembly must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if there is evidence of excessive abrasion
or wear, or if the hose is damaged. The replacement hose assembly specied by the manufacturer.
• The burner must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation if it is evident that the burner is damaged. The
replacement burner assembly specied by the manufacturer.
• Position the assembly in the desired location. This location must be adjacent to the gas supply line. You must have easy
access to the gas valve control knob after it is installed and connected to the gas supply because the ON/OFF gas valve is
used to turn the burner on and off.
LP Gas Models:
• Make sure the tank valve is turned completely off (clockwise).
• Ensure the tank valve has the proper external mating threads (tank valve marked “USE WITH TYPE 1”).
• Inspect the hose shipped with the appliance for any damage. Do not use if there is evidence of damage.
• Connect the end of the hose onto the ON/OFF gas valve of the appliance. Make sure it is secured tightly.
• Connect the regulator assembly to the tank valve. Hand-tighten only (clockwise). Do not use a wrench to tighten! Use of a
wrench may damage the quick closing nut and result in a hazardous condition.
• Position the hose out of pathways where people might trip over it or in areas where the hose might be subject to accidental
damage.
B. GLASS INSTALLATION
Spread glass out evenly over burner area. Use all glass provided for best affect.
DO NOT BURN WITHOUT GLASS OR OTHER SUBSTRATE IN BURNER.
3SETTING UP THE BURNER
THE METAL RISER USED ON ALL RECTANGULAR BURNERS IS REQUIRED TO PROTECT THE TOP SURFACE FROM HEAT DAMAGE.

Fire Table Manual | 9
A. FUEL
Before making gas connections, ensure the appliance being installed is compatible with the available gas type.
B. GAS PRESSURE
Proper input pressures are required for optimum performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA 54.
Pressure requirements for the appliance are shown in the table below. Minimum pressures must be met when other household gas
appliances are operating.
PRESSURE NATURAL GAS PROPANE
Minimum Inlet Pressure 7” w.c. 11” w.c.
Maximum Inlet Pressure 10.5” w.c. 14” w.c.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
C. GAS CONNECTION
Note:
Have the gas supply installed in accordance with local building codes, if any. If not, follow ANSI 223.1. Installation should be done by
a qualied installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality. (In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation must
be performed by a licensed plumber or gas tter.)
Note:
A listed (and Commonwealth of Massachusetts approved) 3/8” T-handle manual shut-off valve and exible gas connector are
connected to the 3/8” control valve inlet. If substituting for these components, please consult local codes for compliance.
Incoming gas line should be piped to the 3/8” connection on the manual shut-off valve.
DANGER
NOTICE
