fire pit as recommended by the instructions.

• Provide adequate clearances around air openings
into the combustion chamber.

• Never use the fire pit in spaces which do or may
contain volatile or airborne combustibles, or products
such as gasoline, solvents, paint thinner, dust particles
or unknown chemicals.

• During operation, this product can be a source of
ignition. Keep fire pit area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner, cleaning
solvents and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do
not use fire pit in areas with high dust content.
Minimum fire pit clearances from combustible
materials: two (2) feet from the sides & two (2) feet
from the rear, 6 feet from ceiling.

• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD

• Never store propane near high heat, open flames,
pilot lights, direct sunlight, other ignition sources or
where temperatures exceed 120 degrees F (49°C).

• Propane vapors are heavier than air and can
accumulate in low places. If you smell gas, leave the
area immediately.

• Never install or remove propane cylinder while fire pit
is lighted, near flame, pilot lights, other ignition sources
or while fire pit is hot to touch.

• This fire pit is red hot during use and can ignite
flammables too close to the burner. Keep flammables
at least 2 feet from sides & 2 feet from rear, 6 feet
from ceiling. Keep gasoline and other flammable liquids
and vapors well away from fire pit.

• Store the propane cylinder outdoors in a well ventilated
space out of reach of children. Never store the propane
cylinder in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). If
fire pit is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane
cylinder for outdoor storage.

We cannot foresee every use which may be made of
our fire pit.
Check with your local fire safety authority if you have
questions about fire pit use.
Other standards govern the use of fuel gases and heat
producing products for specific uses. Your local
authorities can advise you about these.
If no local codes exist, follow National Fuel Gas Code,
ANS Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to
local codes. If no local codes exist, follow the current
National standards of CANADA CAN/CGA-B 149.2.

• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD

• This fire pit is a combustion appliance. All combustion
appliances produce carbon monoxide (CO) during the
combustion process. This product is designed to produce
extremely minute, non-hazardous amounts of CO if used
and maintained in accordance with all warnings and
instructions. Do not block air flow into or out of the fire pit.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning produces flu-like
symptoms, watery eyes, headaches, dizziness, fatigue
and possibly death. You can't see it and you can't
smell it. It's an invisible killer. If these symptoms are
present during operation of this product get fresh air
immediately!

• For outdoor use only.

• Never use inside house, or other unventilated or
enclosed areas.

• This fire pit consumes air (oxygen). Do not use in
unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid endangering
your life.

CAUTION

WARNING

California Proposition 65
Combustion by-products produced when using
this product contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and
other reproductive harm.

BURN HAZARD

• Never leave fire pit unattended when hot or in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

Certain materials or items, when stored under the
fire pit, will be subjected to radiant heat and could be
seriously damaged.

SERVICE SAFETY

• Keep all connections and fittings clean. Make sure
propane cylinder valve outlet is clean.

• During set up, check all connections and fittings for
leaks using soapy water. Never use a flame.

• Use as a heating appliance only. Never alter in any
way or use with any device.

CAUTION indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
personal injury, or property damage.

• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas
is invisible, odorless, and flammable. An odorant is
normally added to help detect leaks and can be
described as a “rotten egg” smell. The odorant can
fade over time so leaking gas is not always detectable
by smell alone.

• Propane gas is heavier than air and leaking propane
will sink to the lowest level possible. It can ignite by
ignition sources including matches, lighters, sparks or
open flames of any kind many feet away from the
original leak. Use only propane gas set up for vapor
withdrawal.

• Store or use propane gas in compliance with local
ordinances and codes or with ANS/NFPA 58. Turn off
propane when not in use.

• Alert children and adults to the hazards of high surface
temperatures. Stay away from these surfaces to avoid
burning skin or igniting clothing.

• Carefully supervise young children when in the vicinity
of the fire pit.

• Do not hang clothing or any other flammable materials
from the fire pit, or place on or near the fire pit.

• Replace any guard or protective device removed for
servicing the appliance prior to placing back in service.

• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
service person. The fire pit should be inspected
before use and annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary.
It is imperative that the control compartment, burners,
and circulating air passageway of the appliance be
kept clean.
