Inspecting Your Fire Column

General Care and Cleaning

Storage

Your ﬁre column should be inspected regularly to ensure that it is safe to use and to extend the life

of its parts.

To inspect your ﬁre column follow these steps.

1. Make sure all parts are securely fastened in place. If a part moves when touched, check its

connection points to see if they are loose.

2. Check all connections for leaks using the leak check method described in the “Check for Leaks”

section of this manual.

3. Check the ignition system by pushing the igniter button and verifying that a spark is being

generated in the igniter housing.

4. Visually check all components for any signs of damage, rust, or excessive wear.

5. If damage or leaks of any kind are found, DO NOT operate the ﬁre column until the proper

repairs have been made.

After repeated use, a slight discoloration or weathering of the ﬁre column ﬁnish may occur. Your

ﬁre column should be cleaned regularly to ensure safe use and extend its life.

General Cleaning

Make a cleaning solution using a mild soap mixed with water. Use a soft cloth to wipe down

exterior surfaces and rinse with clean water. Never use oven cleaners or abrasive solvents as these

will damage the ﬁre column.

Burner

The burner should be kept clean to ensure proper operation. Clogged burn ports may be cleared

with a paper clip or pin. Debris in the burner can be cleaned using compressed air or a pipe brush.

Soot

After use it is possible for soot to develop on some surfaces, this soot deposit will usually come o

with water and mild soap.

1. Turn the gas supply o at the tank. Remove the tank and store it in a cool, dry location, outside

and away from children.

2. Secure all loose ﬁller material or parts.

3. Remove the battery from the ignition box.

4. Cover your ﬁre column when it will not be in use. Covering the column will help to protect the

internal components from dirt and debris, prevent water from pooling on the surfaces and

prevent the ﬁnish from fading and discoloring.

5. Store the ﬁre column in a cool, dry location away from children and pets.
