Read this before installing or operating your new
Cal Flame firepit or fireplace.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT A NATURAL GAS LINE IS INSTALLED
AND SAFE TO USE. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU HAVE A LICENSED TECHNICIAN RUN ALL NATURAL GAS LINES AND CONNECT ALL NATURAL GAS HOOK-UPS.
CALIFORNIA ACRYLICS INDUSTRIES (C.A.I.) WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN ANY
WAY FOR AN IMPROPERLY CONNECTED GAS LINE.
General Safety Precautions
CAUTION: To prevent fire and smoke damage, remove all packaging material before operating your
firepit or fireplace.
• Spiders and other insects can nest in the burners and block the gas and airflow to the burner ports.
This creates a dangerous condition that can result in a fire from behind the valve panel. Inspect and
clean the burners periodically and follow the guidelines in the maintenance section of this manual.
• In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes, turn off the gas supply let it air-out. Do not
attempt to use the firepit or fireplace until the gas has had time to dissipate.
• Unless specifically recommended in this manual, do not repair or replace any part of your firepit or
fireplace. Have a qualified technician perform all of the service. Any repairs made by a non- C.A.I.
approved dealer technician will void your warranty.
• Keep any electrical supply cord or power supply cord away from the heated areas of the firepit or
fireplace.
• Never use the firepit or fireplace in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a windbreak will be required.
• The area surrounding your new firepit or fireplace should be kept clean, and free from flammable
liquids and other combustible materials such as mops, rags, brooms, as well as solvents, cleaning
fluids, and gasoline.
• Do not use the firepit or fireplace as a storage area for flammable or plastic items which may ignite.
Do not store any materials inside or near firepit or fireplace. Do not store the liquid propane (LP)
cylinder in the vicinity of this or any other appliance when it is not being used.
• Never line firepit or fireplace with aluminum foil.
• When the unit is not in use, be sure to turn off the gas at the LP tank.
• Never locate this appliance in an enclosed room, under a sealed overhead structure or any type, or in
an enclosed area such as a garage, shed, or breezeway. Keep clear of trees and shrubs.
• Do not place your firepit or fireplace under or near windows or vents that can be opened into your
home.

Precautions Regarding Children
• Never leave children unattended when the firepit or fireplace is being used.
• Do not store items of interest to children around or below the firepit or fireplace.
• Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the firepit or fireplace.
Other Common Sense Precautions
• Never leave the firepit or fireplace unattended while using high flame settings.
• Never let clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with or close to any grate, rock or
fire screen until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
• When using the firepit or fireplace, do not touch the rock, fire screen, or immediate surroundings, as
these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
• Proper apparel is a safety consideration. Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using
your new firepit or fireplace.
• Do not heat any unopened glass or metal container of food on the firepit or fireplace. Pressure may
build up and cause the container to burst resulting in serious harm or damage to the firepit or fireplace.
• Do not use charcoal in this firepit or fireplace.
• Do not block the vents located near the base of your firepit or fireplace as gas may build up in case
of leak and cause serious damage.
• Do not reach over your firepit or fireplace or any other surfaces when hot or in use.
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to prevent unsupervised access to the property by children under the age of 5. Your dealer can provide information on which permits may be required and how to obtain them prior to the delivery of your
equipment.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
1. Shut off gas to the firepit or fireplace.
2. Extinguish any open flame.
3. If odor persists, immediately call your gas supplier or your fire department.
DO NOT TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOURSELF..
