RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING When using this product, safety rules must be followed. For your
safety and for the safety of bystanders and property, read and understand
these instructions before using the Fire Pit.

to property or serious or fatal injury.
Flammable materials and heat-sensitive items should be kept away from the

Do not overload the Fire Pit.
IMPORTANT The Fire Pit should only be lit by safe means such as fire- lighters complying with EN1860-3. Pay close attention to all warnings and instructions provided with any lighting equipment/fuels. Always keep a fire extinguisher, garden hose, or bucket of sand nearby to smother the fire if necessary.
WARNING! DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. Do not light this product or let it smoulder or cool down in confined spaces. Do not use under awnings, parasols or gazebos.
Never handle charcoal after lighting. Always use the Poker provided.
WARNING The Fire Pit will become extremely hot during use and cannot be
moved.
To avoid injury, be aware that the resting surface directly underneath the
Fire Pit will become very hot during operation and will remain hot for some
time afterwards. Keep feet, other limbs and all property/items well away from
this area.To avoid burns, do not touch metal parts of the Fire Pit (if
applicable) until it has completely cooled. Handles will become very hot and
unsafe to touch during use, unless you are wearing rated protective gear (pot
holders, BBQ mittens, hot pad etc). Standard household oven gloves will NOT
offer sufficient protection and should not be used.
Hot embers may be emitted during use. Never leave a burning fire unattended.
Extinguish immediately after use. Do not splash water over a fire to
extinguish as the resulting smoke can cause eye/respiratory irritation.
Carefully douse using a suitable extinguishing medium, keeping sufficient
distance for safety.
WARNING Never use water to douse the fire as this can cause rusting to
the product and could also produce steam that poses a scalding hazard.
Allow the Fire Pit to cool completely before cleaning.
The Fire Pit may appear cool but may still be retaining dangerous heat.
Exercise extreme caution when handling. Ensure the coals/logs have completely
burnt before removing the ash.
Do not dump ashes where they could start a fire. Always dispose of ashes in a
proper receptacle. The Fire Pit should only be moved and stored when it has
completely cooled and all flammable materials have been extinguished and
disposed of safely. Store away ONLY when the Fire Pit is completely
extinguished and cool. This may take some time after use.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Once the fire is completely extinguished, use the handles (if applicable) to slightly tilt the Fire Pit and remove the ashes by sweeping them ashes out of the centre and into a suitable disposal container.
NOTE It is recommended to do this as soon as possible after use. Having ashes from a previous fire remain at the bottom will slow down new fires you wish to build. Store in a cool dry place.
Ensure the Fire Pit is clean and dry, thoroughly cool and thoroughly cleaned
of all ash and unused fuel/coals before storing.
Protect from severe weather conditions. We recommend that you use a cover to
protect this item when not in use.
CAUTION The Fire Pit must be completely cool before covering.
Ensure you have all the pieces listed. If you are missing any components,

COMPONENTS
ASSEMBLY
OPERATION
Set up the Fire Pit in a safe area with sufficient space and ensure it is set
on a secure level surface.
Place 3-4 small logs into the centre of the Fire Cage on top of the GRILL (8).
NOTE: Ensure the logs are halved as they will burn quicker. Lay the logs
side by side and stack on top like a pyramid but make sure there is space
between to allow for air circulation. If required, add several pieces of
charcoal or charcoal blocks to aid the fire. TIP: Scrunched up newspaper or
small branches will aid the fire quicker.
Ignite using long safety matches or a long nosed lighter (not supplied).
WARNING! NEVER ignite the contents using liquid grill lighters. Avoid
adding too much flammable materials as this can cause the flame to become too
large
Once the flames have become smaller, add more logs if required.
WARNING! NEVER leave a fire unattended and keep children and pets well
away when ignited.
Allow the fire to extinguish on its own, or extinguish the fire using the
POKER (11) to carefully spread the contents around the base of the Fire Cage.
Adding a layer of sand and spreading again with the POKER (11) will quickly
put out the fire.
WARNING! Never use water to douse the fire as this can cause rusting to the product and could also produce steam that poses a scalding hazard. Allow the Fire Cage to cool completely before cleaning.
DISPOSAL INFORMATION Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority for recycling advice.
