important safeguards

W DANGER: Failure to follow the dangers, warnings and cautions in this manual may result in serious bodily

injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

W WARNINGS:
W This appliance is for outdoor use only, and should NOT be used in a building, garage or any other enclosed

area.

W Do NOT operate, light or use this appliance within ten feet (3.05 m) of walls, structures or buildings.
W For residential use only. This outdoor fireplace is NOT for commercial use.
W Do NOT use this outdoor fireplace for indoor heating. TOXIC carbon monoxide fumes can accumulate and

cause asphyxiation.

W This outdoor fireplace is safety certified for use in the United States and/or Canada only. Do NOT modify for

use in any other location. Modification will result in a safety hazard and will void your warranty.

W Apartment dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using a liquid

propane (LP) gas outdoor fireplace in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor
with a ten foot (3.05 m) clearance from any structure. Do NOT use on or under balconies.

W This outdoor fireplace, from the factory, is for use with LP gas only. The conversion to or attempted use of

natural gas in this outdoor fireplace is dangerous, may cause bodily harm and will void your warranty.

W LP gas characteristics:

a. LP gas is flammable and hazardous if handled improperly. Become aware of the characteristics before

using any LP gas product.
b. LP gas is explosive under pressure, heavier than air, and settles/pools in low areas.
c. LP gas in its natural state has no odor. For your safety, an odorant is added that smells like rotten

cabbage.
d. Contact with LP gas can cause freeze burns to skin.

W LP gas tank needed to operate. Only tanks marked “propane” may be used.

a. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the U.S. Department of

Transportation (D.O.T.) Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders, or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and

Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/CSA-B339 as applicable.

important safeguards

b. LP gas tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.
c. The LP gas tank must have a listed overfilling prevention device (OPD) and a QCCI or Type I (CGA810) LP

gas tank connection.
d. The LP gas tank must have a tank collar to protect the tank valve.
e. Never use an LP gas tank with a damaged body, valve, collar or footing.
f. Dented or rusted LP gas tanks may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP gas supplier prior to

valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or death.
j. Never keep an LP gas tank in a hot car or trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may

open the relief valve and allow gas to escape.
k. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap

on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result

in leakage of propane.
l. Do NOT store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance.
m. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
