How to Leak Test Your Appliance
 Mix a solution of liquid soap and water in a small container. 50% soap and 50% water.
 Make sure that the gas supply is turned on. For LP gas appliances make sure that the valve on
the gas cylinder is turned on.
 Ensure that the gas control valve on the appliance is in the “OFF” position. (3 o’clock).
 Use a spray bottle or a small brush and liberally apply the solution to the gas line and to each
connection.
 If bubbles form this means that there is a leak is present.
 Tighten any connections that may be loose and leak test again.
 If no more leaks are found use the appliance.
 If leaks persist and cannot be stopped turn off the gas supply and contact your distributor or local
gas service technician for assistance.
 To check for leaks on the hose, soak cloth with soap and water solution. Rub gas line hose
from end to end. If bubbles appear, identify leak and replace hose before next use.
WARNING: Do not use an open flame to test for gas leaks.

INSTALLATION & SAFETY NOTES
Read all instructions before starting installation and follow them carefully during installation to ensure maximum
benefit and safety. Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty and may present a fire hazard.
See the warranty at the back of this manual for disclaimers regarding improper installation. This outdoor
fireplace and its components are tested and safe when installed in accordance with this installation manual.
UNPACKING
Please check the appliance carefully for any damaged or missing components. Report any problems to your
dealer within 30 days of purchase.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES
The minimum clearance to combustibles for the sides and the top is 36” (914 mm). This
outdoor fireplace is suitable for installation on a combustible surface.
Clearances are in accordance with local installation codes and the requirements of the gas supplier.

Page 11 of 22
INITIAL FIRING
When lit for the first time, the appliance may emit an odor resulting from evaporation of paint and lubricants
used in the manufacturing process. This is normal and will subside after the unit has run for an hour or so.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
The manifold pressure regulator controls gas input and flame height, and is pre-adjusted at the factory.
No further adjustment is required.
PRIMARY AIR ADJUSTMENT
Aeration is factory set but may need adjustment for altitude or movement during shipping. The adjustment
for the air shutter is found on the mixing tube which is located underneath your appliance. Loosen the screw
which holds the aeration adjustment shutter in place and rotate the adjustment shutter to increase or
decrease primary air (see below) and tighten the screw. Increasing the primary air will cause the flame to
appear more transparent and blue. Decreasing the primary air will cause the flames to appear more yellow or
orange. Evaluate the aeration only after the unit has warmed up approximately 15 minutes. If the unit
shows signs of carbon build up increasing the primary air should alleviate this problem.
Caution: Parts requiring adjustment during operation may be hot.
Aeration adjustment is important for the correct functioning of the appliance. Carbon build up, flame lifting or
any malfunction due to improper aeration adjustment during installation is not covered under the factory
warranty.

INSTALLATION & TANK ASSEMBLY
Carefully unpack all the items from the box. Urban Fire comes fully
assembled.
Place the table outside in final position. There must be a minimum of
12 inches of clearance from the bowl to any combustibles. The table
and bowl should not get hot. NOTE: For your safety, do touch the fire
glass that has had flame impingement. You will get a serious burn.
Place the table on a level base.
When using propane place cylinder upright inside the tank holder
supplied. (SEE ABOVE) Tank should be secure and pressed into the
tank holder for safety.

Ensure propane gas hose and tank is positioned away from foot traffic.
Connect propane hose to cylinder.
NOTE: THIS IMAGE IS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES ONLY TO SHOW THE
HOSE LENGTH, TANK RETENTION DEVICE AND RECOMMENDED
PROPANE TANK SIZE FOR PROPANE INSTALLATIONS.
When using propane and for décor purposes we recommend feeding
the gas hose under an outdoor carpet to hide the propane hose and
reduce any tripping on the gas line.
To hide the tank, place the propane tank in the retention device and
place behind a couch or side table. For longer operation time on
propane for serious users, we recommend a 30lb or 40lb propane
tank.
