SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
• EXPLOSION - FIRE HAZARD
• Keep solid combustibles, such as building
materials, paper or cardboard, a safe distance away
from the fire feature as recommended by the
instructions.
• Provide adequate clearances around air
openings into the combustion chamber.
• Never use the fire feature 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 feature area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, paint thinner,
cleaning solvents and other flammable vapors and
liquids. Do not use fire feature in areas with high dust
content. Minimum fire feature clearances from
combustible materials: 36" (91 cm) from the sides &
24" (61 cm) from the top.
DANGER
• 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 vapours 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
feature is lit, near flame, pilot light, other ignition sources
or while fire feature is hot to touch.
• The glass tube, emitter grid and reflector are red hot
during use and can ignite flammables too close to the
burner. Keep flammables at least 36" (91 cm) from
sides & 24" (61 cm) from top. Keep gasoline and other
flammable liquids and vapors well away from fire
feature.
• 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
feature is to be stored indoors, disconnect the propane
cylinder for outdoor storage.

DANGER
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
• This fire feature 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 feature.
• 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 feature consumes air (oxygen). Do not
use in unventilated or enclosed areas to avoid
endangering your life.
CAUTION
• 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.
SERVICE SAFETY
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate personal injury, or property damage.
CAUTION
An appliance may be installed with shelter no
more inclusive than:
(a) With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover.
(b) Within a partial enclosure which includes an
overhead cover and no more than two side walls. These
side walls may be parallel, as in a breezeway, or at right
angles to each other.
(c) Within partial enclosure which includes an
overhead cover and three side walls, as long as 30
percent or more of the horizontal periphery of the
enclosure is permanently open.
SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
WARNING
• Never leave fire feature unattended when hot or in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
BURN HAZARD
• This product is fueled by propane gas. Propane gas
is invisible 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 settle 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 cylinders 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.
WARNING
WARNING
Certain materials or items, when stored under the
fire feature, will be subjected to radiant heat and
could be seriously damaged.

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.
• 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 feature.
• Do not hang clothing or any other flammable materials
from the fire feature, or place on or near the fire
feature.
• 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 feature should be inspected
before use and annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required as necessary.
