UNBOXING
Upon receiving your DreamCast Firepit, take care to check all parts
have been received according to the included packing slip.
ATTENTION: Fragile! Concrete may chip or scratch if collided
with other hard materials such as stone, metal, or other concrete.
HANDLE WITH CARE!
Remove the concrete parts from the crate, unwrap and place them on
a soft surface. Take care when handling concrete parts as concrete is
brittle and can chip or flake if struck. Inspect all parts for shipping
damage. Any shipping damage must be reported immediately. We
allow for 48 hours after receipt for any shipping damage to be claimed
under warranty. Please contact DreamCast Design if you are missing
any parts.
SET-UP
Before placing your DreamCast Firepit, check that the desired location
meets all clearances to combustibles listed in the Fire Pit Clearances
Diagram. Ensure that the final location for the fire pit is as flat and level
as possible. Make sure to provide adequate drainage beneath the
opening in the base of the fire pit body.
Carefully lift the fire pit or fire pit base and place it in its final position. If
there is a gas riser, fire pit should be placed so that the stub is
enclosed within the fire pit.
If the fire pit does not sit level, shim appropriately so that
it is level and evenly supported. If the fire pit has a top section,
carefully lift and place it on top of its base. Ensure that the provided
rubber shims are installed between the top and base. Check that the
top section is level and stable. If it does not sit level or is unstable,
shim as required with additional rubber shims.
Follow the assembly instructions in this manual to connect the burner
assembly, test for gas leaks, and place decorative burner media.
CONCRETE CARE
Your new DreamCast fire pit is factory sealed to resist staining and
discoloration. However, care should be taken to maintain the
premium concrete finish.
Concrete is a very porous material and may stain from certain
substances left on the surface. Things that may stain if not removed
include red wine, acidic juices, oils and waxes, tree sap and other
organic material. Additionally, water trapped under an object for an
extended period can leave a watermark.
We strongly recommend covering your firepit with a breathable,
weather resistant cover when not in use.
MAINTENANCE
Your concrete fire pit can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap
to remove dirt and scuffs.
The surface can be periodically cleaned and refreshed
with our DreamCast Refresh Sealer. Please contact us for more
information and to order Refresh Sealer.
Scratches and chips can be repaired with our patch kit, though any
repairs made to concrete will be visible.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Use only joint compound, thread sealant, or tape specific to gas
use that is resistant to all gases. Apply joint compound, thread
sealant or tape to all male pipe fittings only and DO NOT USE ON
FLARED END OF FLARED FITTINGS. Be sure to tighten every
joint securely. If you are lighting manually be sure to maintain a
minimum safe distance to avoid property damage, personal injury,
or death. Please refer to match lit instructions:
1.Verify gas supply matches burner & pilot type.
2. Verify gas inlet pressure is within the specified minimum and
maximum pressures. Consult Gas Inlet Pressures on previous
page.
3. Purge gas lines of air, water and debris.
4. Perform all leak tests with leak detector or leak reactant
on main gas supply and repair leaks as necessary. Turn off gas
supply.
5. For models that include electronic ignitions, be sure to have a
qualified electrician install proper power supply following all local
codes.
6. Inspect flex line(s) for punctures or breaks in line(s).
7. Make sure the control knob turns the control valve before
installing. Use only your hand to turn the control knob. Never use
tools. If the control knob will not turn by hand, don’t try to repair it.
Force or attempted repair may cause a fire or explosion.
8. Refer to Connection Diagrams for applicable gas connections.
9. Position burner safely with access to all gas connections for
testing. Position burner to allow sufficient clearance from the fire
pit to avoid damage.
10.Turn on gas supply to perform repeat leak tests on main gas
supply and all connections to appliance and repair as needed.
11. Do not use appliance if there is evidence of leaking gas. If leak
is suspected, turn off main gas supply immediately. For appliances
for use with a fixed fuel piping system and equipped with an
appliance gas pressure regulator, the appliance and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure
in excess of ½ psi (3.5kPa). The appliance must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
12. Ignite burner. See applicable ignition instructions within
Operating Instructions, page 15.
13. Once appliance is lit, perform leak test on all gas connections
and repair as needed.
14. Turn off appliance and allow to cool.

15. DreamCast Fire Pit must be installed on a stable surface. Fire
pit must be properly assembled, level, and stable. The weight of
the burner and media must be supported by the aluminum support
plate and not by any control box or gas valve. Control boxes and
gas valves must be above grade with adequate drainage to
prevent water damage. Installer is responsible for making sure
there is enough space in the cavity for any electronics and piping.
The lower cavity of the enclosure cannot be filled with any
material (i.e. gravel, crushed rock, concrete, etc).The fire pit
burner assembly should be recessed from the top of the enclosure
to protect flame from excessive wind and to allow coverage of
burner. See Clearances Diagram on page 6. To allow for regular
maintenance, nothing should be attached to the firepit that would
prevent removal of the support pan and burner assembly.
16. Venting is required to avoid heat damage to internal
components and to allow airflow in case of gas pooling. Do not
block the integral vents in your DreamCast Firepit with any
material.
17. Only use fire rated media approved for use with high
temperatures that have been manufactured for specific use in fire
features. Never use any material for media that is nonporous and
holds moisture such as gravel, pebbles, river rock, etc. Such
material, when heated, may cause the trapped moisture to boil,
fracture unexpectedly and/or explode and which could cause
personal injury, damage or death.
18.To avoid dust and clogs getting into the system, do not dump
the media over the burner. Place the media onto the plate or pan.
Burner should be covered by approved media up to 1/2”
above the jets. Media may be positioned so that jet tips or
barrels are visible. Excessive media coverage may cause
back pressure and dangerous pooling of gas which can
result in explosion which could cause property damage,
personal injury, or death.
19. Do not cover the ignition pilot assembly or wind cage more
than halfway with any form of media.
20. Complete final verification of correct operation and lighting.
21. Review instruction manual with end user and instruct end
user not to change/modify fire pit or media in any way that may
affect pilot assembly or wind cage.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
All appliances are designed and intended for outdoor use only.
All appliances must have a gas shutoff located outside of the
appliance to allow for emergency shutoff and maintenance. Select
a location where the appliance can be attended during operation.
Never leave an operating appliance unattended or by someone not
familiar with its operation or emergency shutoff locations.
Appliances may create very high temperatures - combustibles
must be located far enough away that there is no risk of ignition.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that material such as granite,
marble or other dense stone be kept an appropriate distance away
from flame due to risk of cracking. Manufacturer is not responsible
for damage to any nearby material for any reason.
FIRE PIT CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES see fig. 1 & fig. 2
• Square/Round Fire Pits / Linear Fire Pits Short Side Clearance:
36" from any combustible structure or materials.
• Linear Fire Pits Long Side Clearance:
48" from any combustible structure or materials.
• All Fire Pits - Overhead Clearance:
There must be NO combustible materials above the firepit.
• Choose a location that allows easy access for installation and
maintenance of the fire pit.
• Pick a location that allows sufficient horizontal room to enjoy the
appliance while allowing a safe distance from the heat and flame.
• Always consult with local municipality regarding any
local code requirements.
The fire pit must be placed on a stable surface and must
be level.

POSITIONING GAS SUPPLY
All DreamCast round Fire Bowls have a minimum 5"
diameter opening in the base through which you can bring a
gas or propane line. Side openings are also present at 1.5"
diameter to allow for above-grade gas line access.
Please make sure that the gas line is located only within this
area. This will ensure that the final position of the unit will not
be compromised.
Refer to the assembly diagram for your specific model for
more details.
We recommend that gas risers be kept as low to grade as
possible and no higher than 6” at their highest points so as
not to interfere with the internal components of the firepit.
All DreamCast square/rectangular Fire Pits have a hollow
base.
Gas supply can come up within the footprint of this hollow
base. Side slots are inherent on two sides to allow for above-
grade gas line access & ventilation.
Please make sure that the gas line is located only within this
area. This will ensure that the final position of the unit will not
be compromised.
ATTENTION:
Gas line must be installed by a licensed contractor in
compliance with local codes.
