until it has completely cooled unless you are wearing protective gear (heat-resistant gloves, BBQ
mittens etc.) Never touch ashes or logs to see if they are hot.!
To prevent the risk of fire, the heater must be installed in compliance with the rules andregulations of this
User Manual.
- Do NOT use the outdoor fire until it is completely assembled.
- Do NOT store or use any flammable liquids or vapours in the vicinity of the outdoor fireplace.
- Check the chimney flue at least once a year.
- Do not overheat the firebox: maximum load must not exceed 1/3 of the combustion-chamber volume
- Always use the outdoor fireplace on a hard, level non-combustible surface, Asphalt may not be
acceptable for this. Do NOT use on Wooden decking.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
The fireplace should be positioned on a non-flammable floor - Always use the
outdoor fireplace on a hard, level non-combustible surface, Asphalt may not
be acceptable for this. Do NOT use on Wooden decking.
POSITIONING THE OUTDOR FIREPLACE AT A SAFE DISTANCE
The recommend minimum distance from outdoor fireplace to combustible materials is
60 cm. Note that some furniture is more easily affected by heat and may need to be
moved to greater distance. This is your responsibility!
The heater is delivered in a ready-to-be-installed state. Remove the packaging and
check theappliance for completeness according to this Operation Manual. You should
also ensure thatthe following are operational.

PLACEMENT FROM NON COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

FUEL CHOICE
You should avoid burning billets of split logs with a humidity of over 20% as it can
prevent theapplian- ce from achieving its declared technical specifications, and can
reduce the heat output.Burning softwood billets and high-resin wood in the
appliance is not recommended, as they result inheavy smoking and frequent
cleaning of the appliance and chimney flue.
Recommended Fuel
- the manufacturer recommends hardwood billets like beech, hornbeam, oak,
alder, birch, ash,etc., with billet or split log dimensions 30cm long and
circumferences between 30 and 50cm,and lignite briquettes.
- the humidity of the fuel wood for the appliance should not exceed 20%.
Not Recommended Fuel
The following is not allowed to be burned in the heaters: minerals, e.g. coal, tropical wood (like
maho- gany), chemical products and fluids, (like oil, alcohol, petrol, and naphthalene),
laminated boards, or adhesive-bonded, impregnated or pressed wood chips and litter. If any
other fuel is allowed, it will be notified on the rating plate.
Avoid filling the hearth with wood fully, optimising the amount of fuel at one-third of thecombustion
chamber’s capacity.
FLANGE POSITIONING

(fig.1e)
For connecting the flange with the main body follow the steps as in photos below.
Remove first the metalic circle of the main body as in (fig.1b).Place easily the connection
flange which is packaged inside the fire body (fig.1c).Place the screws than in the side spaces,
to fix the flange on the body as in (fig.1d).Finally set the matalic circle on its first position (fig.1e).

Extinguishing
1. Allow fire to burn itself out.
2. Do NOT use water to extinguish as this is dangerous and may cause glass to shatter causing serious injury
or damage to property and damage to the outdoor firelace.
1. Open Door
2. Stack logs as shown use logs that are no more than 350mm Long.
3. Place kindling on top as shown.
4. Use a tapper or long match to light kindling.
5. Close door once kindling is lit.
6. It will help with lighting if the ash box is opened slightly.
7. Close ash box immediately logs start to burn.
This outdoor fireplace is designed to burn wood with a humidity of up to 20%. Using coal, coke,
coal-ba-sed products, plastic, litter, cloths and otherflammable materials is not allowed. Burning
approved wood briquettes made of wood dust or pellet istemporarily allowed, but in small quantities only.
The following is practical guidance for assessing thewood used as fuel. The wood which is to have a
humidity of 18-20% must be seasoned for 18-24 monthsor kiln-dried. As the humidity of wood
de-creases, its net calorific value rises, which brings financialsavings of even up to 30% of the total wood
weight needed to run the appliance during one heatingseason. If the wood used for burning is of too high
humidity, then, too much energy needed forevaporation and condensation in the flue pipe or combustion
chamber can be consumed, which affectsthe heating process of a room. Another negative process
occurring when the high-humidity wood is
used is the emission of creosote, a deposit which damages the chimney flue and, in extreme cases, can
result in ignition and a chimney fire. It is therefore recommended to use hardwood like oak, beech,
hornbeam or birch. Lower calorific va- lues are typical of the coniferous trees and burning their wood
produces heavy soot accumulation on the glass.

CHIMNEY-FLUE MAINTENANCE
A well-cleaned and maintained chimney provides the basis for correct and safe stove
operation. The user must clean the chimney in accordance with the valid regulations. How
often you clean and per- form the maintenance depends on the chimney insulation and the
type of wood used. Using unse- asoned wood with a humidity above 20%, or softwood, will
pose the risk of a chimney fire related to a thick layer of flammable creosote deposits, which
must be removed regularly. Failing to remove the creosote layer inside the chimney liner
causes sealing damage, and also contributes to corrosion build-
-up. Consequently, the regular inspection and maintenance of the stove and its related
components are required.
HEARTH CLEANING
Before and after each heating season, the hearth must be cleaned and checked carefully, as
leaving ash in the ash drawer over a longer time will cause its chemical corrosion. During
operation, regular cle- aning of the firebox-combustion chamber must be performed (how often it
needs to be done depends on the variety and humidity of the wood used). Use a poker,
scrapers, a brush, chimney vacuums and ash separators for cleaning the hearth components.
GLASS CLEANING
The glass gets heated up to high temperatures, so clean it only when the hearth has cooled
down. Clean it using approved agents designed for this purpose only (do not use them to clean
the firebox parts). Do not use any abrasive agents for this purpose, asthis may cause its
surface to be scratched.
NORMAL OUTDOOR FIREPLACE BURNING AND EXTINGUISHING
To prevent flue gases from escaping during the heater’s operation, the door should be closed
at all times, except for lighting, fuel loading and removing ash. Do not leave the site while
lighting thefire when the door is open.

DOOR OPENING
ASH REMOVAL
Door on the outdoor fireplace is easily opened as below.Always use the door accessory and gloves if its nessesary.
Ash should be removed prior to each time you light the stove. To remove the ash, just emptythe ash
container located below the fire grate. Regular hearth-ash removal prevents the ashfrom spilling out. Do
not allow ash to spill over the barrier. Remove the ash from the stovewhen it is cold.
3a) Door accessory
* Remove and clean the ash box each time you light the outdoor fireplace!
