GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION! FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
GAS CONNECTIONS FOR NATURAL GAS AND PROPANE FIRE TABLES MUST BE
PERFORMED BY A LICENSED GAS TECHNICIAN AND COMPLY WITH YOUR LOCAL
BUILDING CODES. IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION, SERVICE,
OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Fire tables are CSA certified to ANSI Z21.97-2014 and CSA 2.41-2014.
To qualify for warranty, instructions must be strictly followed. Warranty may be void if
not followed. Never alter product or configuration in any way.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
• Inspect fire table and its components for any damage before beginning installation.
• Fire tables must be handled with care. The most common source of damage is
mishandling of product before and during installation.
• Before beginning gas installation, ensure that the final location for the fire table is a flat,
level surface.
• Keep beach stone and lava rocks in bags until installation is complete.
• If table is to be installed on a deck made from wood, composite, or other combustible
materials, utilize the Deck Insulation Kit (see page 7).
PARTS LIST
1. Fire table with preassembled burner
2. Beach stones (4 bags)
3. Lava rock (1 bag)
4. Chrome key
5. 12' hose (if LP model)
6. Deck insulation kit
7. Basalt material (in Deck Insulation Kit)
8. 1" thick concrete pad (in Deck Insulation Kit)
NATURAL GAS & PROPANE CONNECTIONS
• Fire table ships preassembled; the re table encloses a burner assembly and a space
for beach stones and lava rock. Refer to page 6 for installation and operating instructions;
clearances to combustibles are shown on page 5.
• Each fire table has ventilation openings to comply with ventilation requirements. DO NOT
COVER OPENINGS.
• Ventilation openings may be used to accommodate a running gas line.
We recommend that our products be inspected before installation,
installed by, and serviced annually by qualified professionals who
are locally licensed by the authority having jurisdiction in gas piping.
• The installer and maintenance professionals must follow all instructions carefully to
ensure proper performance and safety.

SELECTING THE LOCATION
Young children and animals should be carefully supervised
when they are in the area of fire table.
Both children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperatures and should stay away to avoid burns and clothing ignition.
Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed
on or near fire table.
FOR ALL MODELS:
• All fire tables and systems are designed and intended for outdoor use only.
• Select a location that has good drainage and allows easy access for installation and
maintenance of the re table.
• Pick a location that allows sufcient horizontal room to enjoy the re table while allowing a
safe distance from the heat and ame.
• Select a location where the fire table can be attended during operation. Never leave an
operating fire table unattended or attended by someone not familiar with its operation or
emergency shutoff locations.
• If table is to be installed on a deck made from wood, composite, or other combustible
materials, utilize the Deck Insulation Kit (see page 7).
• Fire tables create very high temperatures; combustibles must be located far enough away
that there is no risk of ignition.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that material such as granite, marble, or other dense stone
be kept away from heat and especially flame due to risk of cracking. Manufacturer is not
responsible for damage.
FOR LP MODELS:
• Do not position the propane cylinder inside the fire table. Choose a location where the tank
will be at least 54" away from the fire table as shown in figure 1 on page 5.
• Locate the tank and hose out of pathways to avoid accidental damage and prevent the hose
from becoming a trip hazard.

REQUIRED CLEARANCES
The diagram illustrates required clearance between your fire table and nearby structures.
• All items may or may not apply to your project.
• Clearances apply to any and all sides of the project.
• Read and follow all instructions and local codes.

The fire table should be sited with a solid structure, building, or other combustible on no
more than two sides.
• For wall or ceiling screens, 50% free air space is recommended. Ethan Allen is not
responsible for screen that melts.
• For noncombustible screening, a 20" x 20" x .013" wire mesh thickness or one with more
open space is recommended.
• For all other noncombustible coverings, an on-site estimate of free air space will be necessary.
• The illustrated 84" minimum clearance above the fire table must be maintained over the
entire surface area of the burner.
