• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay
away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

• Any guard or other protective device removed for servicing the fire column must be replaced prior
to operating the appliance.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The fire column should be
inspected before use and at least 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 passageways of the appliance are kept clean.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids within 25 feet ( 7.62 m) of this or

• Do not store combustible materials in the fire column enclosure. This includes LP tanks. If the fire
column is designed to use a hidden LP tank, the LP tank should be properly secured in the designated
tank holder under the column. Do not store extra LP tanks under the fire column.
• Be sure to protect the hose and its components from any hot surfaces. It is dangerous to allow the
hose to come into contact with any hot surface.
• If using your fire column with a LP tank, the tank should never be operated or stored on its side or up-
side-down.
