ADDING FIRE MEDIA
ONLY use approved re media, correctly distributed, to ensure safety and proper combustion. Never use non-porous material,
or any material that holds moisture, such as gravel, pebbles, river rock, etc.
When heated, non-porous material will not allow steam to properly vent which can result in the material fracturing and causing personal injury or
property damage. When heated, materials that hold moisture can boil and fracture unexpectedly and cause personal injury or property damage.
1. Place re media onto the support plate.
Note: Do not overll the support plate.
2. Spread the media evenly over the support plate and
burner. Depth of media should be approximately 3
inches.
Note: Ensure the burner is covered, but not buried.
If using re glass, cover the burner with a 1/4-inch to
1/2-inch of glass. See FIGURE 9.
Note: Do not cover the top of the pilot hood. The pilot
needs air to operate properly. See FIGURE 9.
3. Turn the system on and ensure it lights and ames come
through the re media.
4. If re media must be adjusted or redistributed, turn o󰀨
the ignition system and wait for the media to cool.
Fire media may still be hot after the re feature is shut off. To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS allow the re media to
cool before redistributing. Depending on the size of the bowl, cooling may take up to an hour.

OPERATING THE FIRE FEATURE
MagicFlame can be controlled via a standard wall-mount light switch. Multiple re features can be connected, through
a junction box, to a single switch so that all re bowls can be switched on and o󰀨 together.
The re feature can also be controlled via most Pentair automation systems. For more information refer to your
specic automation system’s manual.
LIGHTING THE FIRE FEATURE
1. Ensure all gas supply valve(s) are open before attempting to light the re feature.
2. Turn on the power switch to the re feature.
3. After 3 seconds, the igniter will begin to glow red.
Shortly after this (roughly 5 seconds), the burner will ignite.
3. The igniter will remain lit 6 to 8 seconds to prove a ame is produced and will then ignite the burner.
The igniter will shut o󰀨 and the ame will continue as long as the ame is present and can be sensed by the pilot
sensor.
4. If burner fails to light, it will attempt to light three additional times.
If the burner still fails to ignite after these three attempts, it will lock out and will need to be reset by cycling the
power o󰀨 then on.
Note: Windy conditions or gusts may push or pull the ame away from the pilot sensor, causing the system to shut
down for 7 seconds and then re-start the ignition sequence. This will continue for 5 minutes, if it cannot maintain a
ame after 5 minutes the system will lock out and will need to be reset by cycling the power o󰀨 then on.
Note: When lighting the burner for the rst time there will be air in the gas lines that will need to be purged. This
may require multiple system resets.
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RELIGHT AFTER A RESET!
4. Once the burner successfully lights and operates for at least 3 minutes, the control box will begin to monitor the
ame.
