OPERATION and MAINTENANCE
1. Gas control is in the OFF position.
2. The Gas tank valve is OFF.
3. Disconnect the Gas line.
To enjoy years of performance from your re pit, make sure you perform the following maintenance on a
regular basis.
KEEP EXTERIOR SURFACES CLEAN: Use warm, soapy water for cleaning. NEVER use ammable or
corrosive cleaning agents.
1. While cleaning your unit, be sure to keep the area around the burner dry at all times. DO NOT submerge
the control valve assembly. If the gas control is submerged, DO NOT use it. It must be replaced. DO NOT
obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure
2. Air ow must not be obstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulating air passageways clean. Signs of
possible blockage include:
Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of the ame.
Fire pit does not reach the desired temperature.
Fire pit glow is excessively uneven.
Fire pit makes popping noises.
Spiders and insects can nest in burners or orices. This can damage the re pit and render it unsafe
for use. Clean the burner holes using a heavy duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away
smaller particles.
Carbon deposits may create a re hazard. Clean the burner with warm soapy water if any carbon
deposits develop.
NOTE: In a salt air environment (like near the ocean), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently
check for corroded areas and repair them promptly.
TIP: Use high quality automobile wax to help maintain the appearance of your re pit. Apply to exterior
surfaces only. DO NOT apply to the burner.
Turn the control knob OFF
Disconnect LP source and move to a secure, well-ventilated location outdoors.
Store the re pit upright in an area sheltered from direct contact with inclement weather.
If desired, cover the re pit to protect the exterior surfaces and to help prevent the build-up in air passages.
NEVER leave the LP cylinder exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat.
SERVICE: Only a qualied service person should repair gas passages and associated components.
CAUTION: Always allow re pit to cool down completely before attempting service.
