4 Setting up your Burner
A. Burner Assembly
Check for damage. Do not use damaged components.
The burner must be replaced prior to the appliance be-
ing put into operation if it is evident that the burner is
damaged. The replacement burner assembly specified
by the manufacturer.
Position the assembly in the desired location. This loca-
tion 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.
LP Gas Models
Make sure the valve is turned completely off
before installing.
LP installations are to be hard-plumbed using
rigid piping only.
B. Glass Beads Installation
Spread glass out evenly over burner area. Use all glass
provided for best effect. Keep glass clear of spark to
avoid accidental blockage of gas flow.
Note:
A percentage of glass beads may arrive split in half.
This is normal. Additional beads may split after use.
This is also normal due to the physical properties of
glass.
DO NOT BURN WITHOUT GLASS
BEADS

5 Gas Hookup and Information
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 AS5601/AG601
Pressure requirements for appliance are shown in
table below. Minimum pressures must be met when
other household gas appliances are operating.
Pressure
Natural Gas
Propane
Minimum Inlet Pressure
Maximum Inlet Pressure
1.13kPa 2.75kPa
2.6kPa 3.5kPa
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Verify inlet pressures.
High pressure may cause
over fire condition.
Low pressure may cause
explosion.
Verify minimum pressures
when other household gas
appliances are operating
Install regulator upstream of valve if line
pressure is greater than 3.5 kPa
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressures in excess of 3.5 kPa.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 3.5 kPa.
C. Gas Connection
Note: Have the gas supply installed in accordance with local
building codes, if any. If not, follow AS4565:2004 &
AS4558:2011 Installation should be done by an authorized
installer approved and/or licensed as required by the locality.
Incoming gas line should be piped to the 12.7mm
(½ inch) connection on the manual shutoff valve.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Gas build-up during line purge may
ignite.
Purge should be performed by
authorized technician.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Ensure there are no ignition sources
such as sparks or open flames.
A small amount of air will be in the gas
supply lines. When first lighting appliance
it will take a short time for air to purge
from lines. Subsequent lighting of the unit
will not require such purging.
WARNING
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Asphyxiation Risk
Check all fittings and connections.
Do not use open flame.
After the gas line installation is
complete, all connections must be
tightened and checked for leaks with
a commercially available leak-check
solution. Be sure to rinse off all leak
check solution. Be sure to rinse off all
leak check solution following testing.
Fittings and connections may have loosened during
shipping and handling

Page | 12 www.outdoorrooms.com CF-1242 AU Rev-B 3/19/15
D.LP Gas Supply
The LP gas supply used with LP models must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the specificationsfor LP gas.
Cylindersmust bestored outdoors in a well-ventilatedarea out
of the reach of children. Disconnected cylinders must have
threaded valve plugs tightly installed and must not be stored
in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Storageofthisapplianceindoorsis permissible only
if it has been disconnected from its fuel supply.
The LP gas supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
The specific size and capacity of the cylinder(s) to
be used: hard plumbed to propane tank.
Gas Setup for Liquid Propane
1. With burner in place in Outdoor
GreatRoom Company fire pit table or other
installation location and proper sized
injector inserted in burner neck (see chart
on p.4 for injector sizing),
2. Incoming propane should be hard-plumbed
to the input of the gas control valve with an
approved regulator for propane. Tighten
securely using two wrenches.
3. Locate the gas line (not supplied) and
tighten securely to output valve fitting
following the method described in step 2.
4. Using two wrenches, securely tighten the
flare nut on the free end of the metal flex
hose to the injector on the burner.
5. For liquid propane installations, the air
shutter must be left open as shown at
lower right to prevent soot buildup. To
adjust air shutter, loosen the small securing
screw and rotate air shutter to allow more
or less airflow.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION SERVICES, OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE. REFER TO AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL. FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CONSULT A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY, LICENSED TECHNICIAN OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.

in place and that the air shutter is 5.0mm open.
Adjust air shutter by loosening the small screw
on the air shutter and rotating it to a 5mm
open position and re-tightening screw.
2. Connect the metal flex-line included with your
fire pit to the injector as shown at right. Use
two wrenches to tighten. Then connect the
other end to the output side of control valve
following the same process.
3. Connect the incoming Natural Gas supply line
to the incoming side of the regulator, using an
elbow connection. Gas supply line must be a
minimum of ½” (12.7mm) piping.
4. Ensure that the manual shut-off valve is placed
on the natural gas line before it reaches the
appliance control valve.

6 Lighting and operation
A. This appliance is lit electronically. When lighting, follow
these instructions exactly.
B. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the base of the appliance
because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on
the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electric switch, do not use any phone
nearby.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING!
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury, and/or loss of life.
C. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob
on gas supply (if equipped), never use tools. If the
valve won’t turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call
a qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
D. Do not use the appliance if any part has been
underwater. Immediately call an authorized service
technician to inspect the appliance and replace any
part which has been underwater.
Lighting Instructions
1.
Turn on/off switch to ON position.
2.
You will see or hear sparking occurring at the
electrode
In the event the flame does not light: flip switch to the OFF position, wait 10 minutes,
and re-attempt ignition.
Initial break-in procedure: When you light the appliance, you may notice that it produces heat
which may have an odor. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require an initial three to four hour
continuous burn.

B. Dimensional Information
An overhead view of a suggested non-combustible framing for this burner is shown to
assist in locating gas piping and constructing a base for this burner. . Be sure to plan
enough space to install a manual shutoff valve before gas reaches the control valve on
the burner.
Dimensions approximate. Always measure before installing permanent gas lines.
