GAS SAFETY AND INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• All gas connections should be made by a professional qualified technician and in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. The installation must conform with local codes.
• Do not twist the gas supply hose.
• Before each use, visually inspect the gas supply hose for cracks, cuts or excessive wear. Replace the hose if
necessary. Check for gas leaks before each use.
• Gas Specifications: Be sure the gas supplied to the burner conforms with the burner you purchased. A Natural
Gas burner requires natural gas to operate.
• Never connect the burner to an unregulated gas supply line. Burners operated without a regulator are unsafe
and will not be serviced until installed properly and safely. Unsafe operation without a gas regulator will void the
warranty of the burner.
• Fuel hoses are trip hazards.
CHECK TO ENSURE THAT THE GAS SUPPLY HOSE DOES NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY HOT SURFACE, SHARP OR
ROUGH EDGES, OR OUTDOOR KITCHEN CONSTRUCTION. DO NOT KINK THE GAS LINE WHEN INSTALLING.
IMPORTANT: Never connect the burner to an unregulated gas supply. The installation of this burner must conform with
local codes. A licensed contractor or local gas company representative must perform all natural gas connections. Ensure
that the service supplying the burner is fitted with a shut off valve conveniently positioned near the burner and giving
ease of access. The burner 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 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa).
The burner and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system.
When making the connection from the gas valve to the firepit ring, a good practice is to have your local gas professional
cap off the fitting where the burner will connect to the gas line. This allows a safer and more reliable gas leak test for all
the points from the valve to the firepit ring union. Once these points are tested and free of leaks, the cap can then be
removed and the burner installed to finish the leak testing procedure below for the burner to line connection.
GAS LEAK WARNING
• Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a “DO-IT-YOURSELF” procedure – ONLY USE A PROFESSIONAL.
• NEVER USE THE BURNER WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS INCLUDING ALL OF THE
VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ANY GAS CONNECTION SHOULD BE CHECKED)
• WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD RESULT IN A FIRE,
EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM.
• DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING A LEAK TEST. Any open flame will ignite the gas.
• To prevent fire or explosion hazard, perform leak test outdoors only.
• Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before each use.
Only the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose
assemblies specified by Firenado.
