Casual Fireside Fire Pits are suitable for installation from 0 - 4500 ft. without modification.
H.
If the Outdoor Fire Pit is connected to Natural Gas, it 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 ½ psi (3.5kPa).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
A. Before installing this Outdoor Fire Pit, check “Minimum Clearance to Combustibles” on page 2.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES must be maintained when you install this Outdoor Fire Pit. THERE MUST
BE AT LEAST 60”
(
1.5 m
)
from the center of the burner to an
y
combustible sidewall, ceilin
g
, or material.
The Outdoor Fire Pit is for outdoor use only. DO NOT install or use this appliance inside a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area including recreational vehicles and/or boats. This unit must be
installed in such a manner that proper air ventilation is maintained without obstruction at all times, and
durin
g
all weather conditions.
B.
CHECK GAS TYPE (natural gas or propane): The gas supply you intend to use may not be the same as that
stated on your outdoor rating plate. THIS FIRE PIT IS CONSTRUCTED FOR USE WITH PROPANE GAS. If the
gas supply is different, or you wish to change to natural gas, you MUST have the Fire Pit Converted (method
described on page 8) to the gas type you intend to use, by a qualified, professional technician. If you are
unsure
,
contact
y
our dealer for assistance.
C.
D.
E.
DO NOT USE IF GAS PRESSURE IS LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OR EXCEEDS THE
MAXIMUM.
F. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure at the maximum flow rate (BTU/hr.). Undue
pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small or the run is too long.
Page3
FOR NATURAL GAS: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 3.5 inches
(88.9 mm) water column and maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 10.5 inches (266.7 mm) water column.
FOR PROPANE: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purposes of input adjustment is 8 inches
(203 mm) water column and the maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 13 inches (330 mm) water column.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT IF MINIMUM PRESSURE IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IF MAXIMUM PRESSURE IS
EXCEEDED.
G.
SAFETY NOTE: An external on/off valve in the gas line is required for safety when your Outdoor
Fire Pit is not in use. It also provides for convenient maintenance and repair.
If the Outdoor Fire Pit is connected to Natural Gas, its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5kPa).

M.
Periodically make a visual check of the burner flames - see pictorial representation below for proper flame height
N.
Cleaning of appliance – Remove lava rock or glass crystals, clean burner with soap and water and dry thoroughly.

This will help you to be confident operating the Fire Pit when fully installed (see figures below for typical control positions).
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
VWARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY,
A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the Outdoor Fire Pit
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because
some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. IF
YOU SMELL GAS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON
PAGE 1.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas control knob.
Never use tools. If the knob will not push in or turn by
hand. DO NOT try to repair it. Call a qualified,
