4. Look out for sharp corners and wear protective gloves for assembly.

Assembling the fire pit

Installing the fire pit

• Before use, place the fire pit on a flat, stable, fireproof surface outdoors.

Operation

Danger: The fire pit and the firewood located inside it become very hot during operation, such that any contact with these can lead to very severe burns.
­

• Keep away from hot parts as any contact can cause severe burns. Always wear heat-resistant barbecue or kitchen gloves. (Glove Category II with regard to heat protection, e.g. DIN-EN 407)
• Use only long-handled utensils with heat-resistant grips.
• Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves.
• Use only dry lighters or special fluid lighters compliant with EN 1860-3 as firelighters.

Use as fire pit

1. Remove the spark screen (C) from the fire bowl (B).
2. Place 1-2 solid firelighters in the middle of the fire pit on the charcoal grate (E). Pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. Light the firelighters with a match.
3. Layer a few pieces of dry, seasoned firewood as kindling in the form of a pyramid around the firelighters.
4. Wait until a sufficiently large flame has developed on the kindling before you lay on more pieces of wood. Place the spark screen (C) on the fire bowl (B) in order to avoid flying sparks. Use the poker (E) for stoking the fire.
5. WARNING: Bear in mind that the fire bowl becomes very hot. You should therefore touch the fire bowl only while wearing oven gloves. (Glove Category II with regard to heat protection, e.g. DIN-EN 407)

Maintenance and Cleaning

Your fire pit is made of high quality materials. To clean and maintain the surfaces, please heed the following instructions:
Danger: Let the fire pit cool down completely before cleaning it.

• Only tip out the ash when the fuel has completely burned out.
• Do not use any decolourants or thinners to remove stains.
• Do not use any strong or grinding solvents or abrasive pads, since these can attack the surfaces and leave behind scrape marks.
• Protect your fire pit against continuous weather influences. Since it is manufactured from steel it will eventually rust. Clean possible rust spots and repair them with fireproof paint. It is important that you remove the ashes from the fire bowl (B) before moisture combines with the cold ash, since this leads to rust damage.
• Remove the cold ashes. It is very important you remove the ash before moisture comes into contact with the cold ash. Ash is saline and, in a moist condition, will attack the inside of the fire bowl. Therefore the ash collection tray can be damaged by rust over the years.
• Regularly clean the fire bowl, ideally after each use.
• Remove loose deposits on the fire bowl with a wet sponge.
• Use a soft, clean cloth to dry. Be careful not to scratch the surfaces while drying.
• Clean the internal and external surfaces generally with warm soapy water.
• IMPORTANT: The fire bowl (B) should always be stored somewhere where it is protected from moisture.
