Operating The Patio Torch
Initial Lighting: When lit for the first time, the patio torch emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condition
caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur
again. Simply run the main burner on high for approximately one-half hour.
WARNING!
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away
from the patio torch to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

patio torch. The area above the post may be extremely hot. Direct contact with these metal surfaces
should be avoided in order to prevent burns or clothing ignition.

the patio torch.
• Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The patio torch should be inspected
