Performing a leak test
Perform a leak test in a well ventilated area outside.
Make sure any open flames or cigarettes are extinguished.
Remove the battery (G).
Ensure the burner control knob (H) is in the "OFF" position.
In a bowl, create a soap solution using 1 part water and 1
part liquid detergent.
Apply the soapy water solution to all connections before
attempting to light the fireplace.
A gas leak will be detected by expanding bubbles
originating from the point of the leak.
If a leak is found at any connection point or if you smell
gas, close the tank valve, disconnect the tank and do not
use the fireplace until repairs can be made.
WARNING: Before performing a leak test, be sure that no
sparks can occur and you are in a spacious outdoor area.
Connect the propane gas tank to the regulator and turn
the valve on the unit to the "OFF" position. Brush a soap
and water mixture on all connections. Turn the gas supply
on; if bubbles occur on any connection there may be a
leak. If you smell gas or a leak is discovered turn the gas
valve off, disconnect propane gas tank and do not use the
appliance until the leak is repaired.
Do not use the heating unit without inspecting the gas
hose. If there are signs of wear or abrasion you must
replace the hose (if applicable). Pumice stones/lava

Lighting the fireplace
WARNING: If the burner does not ignite with the burner
control valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the
burner and could accidentally ignite causing injury or
property damage.
Make sure the control knob (H) is in the 'OFF' position.
Slowly open the valve on the propane gas tank by turning
the knob counterclockwise.
A pulse igniter is built into the control knob (H) so pushing
and turning the control knob (H) counterclockwise to the
'LOW' position will ignite the fuel. Once lit, keep holding
down the control knob for 15 seconds.
If ignition does not immediately take place in seconds,
push and turn the control knob (H) clockwise to 'OFF' and
wait 5 minutes, and then repeat the lighting procedure as
above.
If igniter does not light burner, use a long match or long
butane lighter.
Adjust flame to desired flame with the control knob.
