Assembly Instructions
1. Battery Installation: Install the AA battery into the igniter housing as shown in the diagram.
2. Filler Material: Place the filler material (lava rock or glass) into the burner pan by hand. Do not dump the bag. Ensure the filler is level and 1 inch (2.54 cm) above the burner tube. Do not block the igniter housing.
3. Tank Connection: Place the tank seat on the ground and secure the 20 lb LP gas tank. Connect the gas line to the tank by turning the knob clockwise. Hand-tighten only.
Pre-Use Leak Testing
Before first use, perform a leak test:
- Mix 1 part dishwashing soap with 3 parts water in a spray bottle.
- Ensure the control knob is in the OFF position and connect the gas tank.
- Spray the solution on all valve connections.
- If bubbles appear, turn off the gas, disconnect the tank, and inspect connections for debris. Reconnect and retest.
Lighting Instructions
- Ensure the control knob is in the OFF position.
- Slowly open the gas tank valve.
- Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the LIGHT position.
- Keep the knob pushed in for 15-30 seconds after ignition.
- If ignition does not occur within 15 seconds, turn to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and try again.
- Once lit, release the knob and adjust to the desired flame height.
Care and Maintenance
- General Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Burner: Keep the burner ports clean. Use a paper clip or pin to clear clogs. Use compressed air or a pipe cleaning brush to clear debris from the burner tube.
- Storage: Turn off the gas, remove the tank, remove the battery, and cover the fireplace when not in use.
Troubleshooting
If the fireplace fails to ignite or stay lit, check the following:
- Ignition: Ensure the battery is fresh and installed correctly (+ side out). Check that the electrode wire is securely connected to the back of the igniter box.
- Thermocouple: Ensure the thermocouple is aligned with the burner port and that the flame makes direct contact with the tip.
- Obstructions: Check for spider webs or debris in the burner tube.
