WARNING: Do NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors within 25 feet (7.62 m) of this appliance.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS 1) Place the fire pit in the desired location. Make sure that it is placed outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from any flammable structures, awnings, vegetation, etc. 2) Connect the battery charger to the charging port in the back of the unit. Make sure battery is fully charged before use. The battery indicator light on the supplied charger will turn green when battery is fully charged. Battery will run for up to 20 hours on a single charge.

For best results use in a tank holder. 6) Connect the supplied regulator hose assembly to the 20lb LP tank by hand-tightening the black QCC1 nut clockwise until firmly seated. Then, connect the opposite end of the regulator hose to the unit by hand-tightening the brass connection fitting until tight. Do not use a wrench or over-tighten.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The LP gas tank is NOT included with the gas fire pit. SAFE HANDLING FOR LP GAS TANK: • Do not use a damaged, dented or rusty LP tank. • Handle empty LP tanks with the same care as you handle full tanks. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cylinder. • LP gas tanks should never be dropped or handled roughly. • Never store or transport the LP tank where temperatures can reach 125 °F (51.7 °C).
REMOVING THE LP TANK: When the LP tank needs to be replaced, follow these instructions to remove it. 1. Make sure gas control knob is turned “OFF” by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off position. 2. While holding carrying handle closest to propane cylinder with one hand, unscrew propane cylinder from regulator. LEAK TESTING: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas fitting.
LIGHTING SAFETY FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING • Make sure you are familiar with the owner’s manual and you understand all precautions noted. • Before operating, smell around the appliance and next to the ground for gas odors because some gases are heavier than air and may settle on the ground. • Use only your hand to turn the gas control valve.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 1) Once battery is fully charged turn the unit “On” by pushing the ON/OFF switch. The switch will glow blue when unit is powered on. 2) Ignite the unit by following the directions located on the unit. 3) The gas supply will automatically shut off after approximately 10 seconds (+/- 3 seconds) if a flame does not start or it is extinguished.
