INSTALLATION OF LAVA ROCK/MEDIA INTO BURNER PAN
Install lava rock/media into the burner pan. Ensure the media is a minimum of
1-inch diameter for proper operation.
Note:
Do not pour Lava Rock directly from
bag. Media should be placed naturally and NOT packed in tight. Loose fitting is
important to ensure robust flames. Be sure rocks are free of any excessive dust.
This prevents the burner pan weep holes from being plugged and holding water.
IMPORTANT
: Do not place media over top or under the screen cover. The
screen must be free of any debris to ensure proper lighting of burner and good
flame rectification (See fig. 8).
Cover the burner completely with media but do not make the depth greater than
1-inch overtop of the burner portholes.
Decorative glass may be loosely scattered on top of the lava rock. Do NOT
cover the stainless steel screen cover with any rock or glass. It must be free an
any debris to operate properly.

Unscrew (counter-clockwise) the piezo ignitor module red button cap and the plastic mounting nut. Slide the module on
the back side of the module cover plate and secure with the plastic mounting nut. Insert the positive end of (1) AAA
battery into the ingitor module and carefully screw the red button cap to the ignitor module until snug. Careful not to over-
tighten the cap. Attach the extension wires (PIEZO23WH/25WH) to the 2-probe spark ignitor. Careful not to overtighten
the cap. Test the ignitor by pushing and holding the red button to ensure the ignitor probes inside the fire pit are spark-
ing. The spark should be located diectly overtop of the burner port
hole for proper ignition of the gas (See fig.8). Spacing between the
probes should be approximatel 1/8-inch for proper spark.

INSTALLATION OF BATTERY INTO PIEZO IGNITOR (Manual Spark Ignition only)
IGNITOR ALIGNMENT (Manual Spark Ignition only)
For proper ignition it is important that the ignitor probes be prop-
erly aligned overtop of the burner port holes. Use the Fig.8 as
a guide. Before lighting remove the screen cover of the ignition
hood to burner and ensure the spark probes are directly overtop of
a burner port hole. The sparking probes must be in the path of a
flame to ignite the gas for
proper ignition of the flame.
Replace the screen cover and follow the operating instructions.
