16) Construction of the Enclosure
WARNING: For electronic ignition models there must be an electrical shut off ( wall switch or breaker ) on the exterior of the fire pit
or on adjacent wall to allow for emergency shutdown and maintenance.
WARNING:All fire pits must have a gas shutoff on the outside of the exterior of the fire pit to allow for emergency shut off and
maintenance. The gas shutoff should not be used to adjust flame height.
WARNING: Use non-combustible materials and construction for gas supply, power and enclosure. A metal outlet box should be used
inside the enclosure for electronic ignition models.
WARNING: The enclosure must incorporate 1 vent on at least two opposing sides (2 vents total) at a minimum size of 18 sq. inches of
total free area each (Example: 3”x 6” or larger). Installation of the vents in the mid to lower area of the enclosure is recommended.
Ventilation allows for heat and or residual fuel to escape. Failure to properly vent enclosure may result in the fire-pit overheating or
explosion. Overheating could lead to heat damage to internal components. Some enclosures may require more ventilation based on
material, size, and extended use. The vent may work as a drain as well when installed at bottom sidewall to prevent water build up.
WARNING: The interior void space of the enclosure surrounding the valve box cannot be filled with any material (gravel, crushed
rock, concrete, etc.)- It is a requirement to have a minimum of 2” under the valve box for proper ventilation and drainage.
WARNING: If the enclosure is to be used as a seating area/surface, it MUST be sufficiently large enough to prevent personal injury
from your fire feature in windy conditions. Wind is very unpredictable and can move the flame a significant amount horizontally.
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT: Do not daisy chain wiring for multiple Fire Pit installations. Each Fire Pit must have dedicated
wiring.
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT: The enclosure must be constructed on a stable surface. The weight of the fire pit must be supported
by the pan and not by any control/valve box. For electronic ignition models the control/valve box must be above grade with adequate
drainage to prevent water damage to the controls inside the box. *Make sure that the structure is level.

WARNING: FOR GLASS MEDIA USAGE WITH LP GAS- WHEN USING APPROVED DECORATIVE GLASS TO COVER
BURNER APPLY ONLY ENOUGH TO HIDE BURNER. APPLYING OVER 1/2” MAY CREATE BACK PRESSURE AND GAS
LEAKAGE FROM AIR MIXER RESULTING IN LP POOLING UNDER FIRE PIT.
WARNING: FOR GLASS MEDIA USAGE WITH LP GAS- THE UNIT MUST BE TESTED WITH MEDIA OVER BURNER FOR
CONFIRMATION OF NO BACK PRESSURE CREATING GAS TO LEAK OUT OF AIR MIXER VENTURI HOLES. THIS MAY
HAVE TO BE DONE PRIOR TO PLACING IN ENCLOSURE IF NO ACCESS DOOR.
WARNING: The fire pit is designed to use approved media correctly installed over the burner to achieve proper combustion.
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT: Never install a mesh or screen under the media.
IMPORTANT: Media affects flame pattern greatly. It is possible to create an unusual flame pattern that could damage your
enclosure. Enclosure damage from an open flame fire feature is not covered under any warranty.
IMPORTANT:The use of concrete logs is not recommended.

Lava Rock & Glass Application
Please follow the instructions below to add the finishing touch to your fire pit. Particular attention needs to be on the pilot
assembly area. Incorrect media installation will cause the pilot flame to suffocate and turn off pit or delay main burner
ignition.
Lava Rock Only Application
1) Install your fire pit per instructions.
2) Apply lava rock ONLY deep enough to cover ring and pan-
less than 2” above fire ring.
For Electronic Ignition
3) Blow Out Box: Do not cover vents with lava rock- leave
open. Do not allow any rock to block flame opening.
4)
Blowout Box: Do not cover blowout box vents or
opening with lava rock or glass. Incorrect media
installation will cause the pilot flame to suffocate and
turn off pit or delay main burner ignition.
Decorative Glass Application
1) Install your fire pit per instructions.
2) Fill Pan with glass. Cover Burner with 1/8 to ¼” of
glass. Do not over fill with glass. All LP installations
must be checked for back pressure with media installed.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
property damage.
For Electronic Ignition
3) Blowout Box: Do not cover blowout box vents or
opening with lava rock or glass. Incorrect media
installation will cause the pilot flame to suffocate
and turn off pit or delay main burner ignition.

20) Fire Pit Operation
WARNING: Before use, be sure to test all gas connections for leaks. Do not use fire pit if there is any evidence of leaking gas. If
leaking gas suspected, turn off the main gas supply and repair immediately.
WARNING: Do not use the enclosure as a seating area. Wind and gusty conditions will affect the flame in an unpredictable manner.
If conditions exist that are not safe for patrons turn the fire pit off.
WARNING: Do not use fire pit if any part has been submerged under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the fire pit.
WARNING: For electronic ignition models power to fire pit must be turned off via wall switch or breaker when not in operation.
WARNING: Never use any material that is non-porous and holds moisture such as gravel, pebbles, river rock, etc. This material,
when heated will cause the trapped moisture to boil and fracture unexpectedly. This material is not sufficiently porous to allow heated
steam to readily escape which can break and cause personal injury or damage.
WARNING: Solid fuels shall not be burned in the fire pit. Leaves, sticks, wood, paper, clothing, food material, should be kept away
from the fire pit. Fire Pit is not for cooking. Make sure that there is no vegetation or other objects over the top or sides of the fire pit
that could interfere with safe operation. See clearances in section 2 Selecting the Location.
WARNING: If lava rock is wet, allow fire pit to burn for 45 minutes prior to coming within 15 feet of the fire pit.
WARRANTY REQUIREMENT: When not in use the fire pit must be covered at all times.
Electronic Ignition Fire Pit Start Up:
Initial Start-up: Several “on/off” cycles may be necessary to purge air in gas lines after system installation. Fire pit will
lockout after 15 attempts to light pilot: Please power OFF then ON to restart.
Sequence of Operation:
1. The hot wire igniter will be powered (glow red) for 5 seconds before pilot valve opens.
2. The hot wire igniter will only be powered the initial 15 seconds of the 60 second pilot cycle. This sequence will repeat up to
15 times (~15 minutes) before going into lockout. To reset, turn “OFF” power then back “ON” again.
3. Pilot flame will ignite and warm thermocouple- it may take 30 seconds at times for thermocouple to get hot. If
thermocouple is not hot in 60 seconds, system will shut down then go back to Step 1.
4. Once thermocouple is hot, main valve will open allowing main burner to ignite.
5. If pilot flame is blown out at any time, system will shut down, then automatically restart (Step 1).
IMPORTANT: If power to the fire pit is turned “Off” then immediately turned back “On” the system will go into lockout mode. To
reset, turn off, wait 5 minutes, then turn on.
WARNING: - OVERHEATING: The fire pit will automatically close gas valve if temperature exceeds 175º F inside valve box to
prevent component damage. When unit cools below 175º F, the unit will automatically restart. To correct overheating, ensure enclosure
has adequate ventilation- see “Construction of Enclosure”.
