• Place your re pit on a non combustible surface. To prevent accidental combustion or damage, do not place on
unprotected decks, tiles, pavers, concrete, grass, synthetic grass, wood chips or leaves.
• For surfaces such as decks, tiles, pavers, and concrete, it is recommended to use a re resistant mat which
may be purchased from your nearest retailer.
• Ensure the re pit is placed on an even, level surface, not on a sloping surface.

HOW YOUR LOW SMOKE FIRE PIT IS DESIGNED TO WORK
• The Aura 450 and 600 Fire Pit has been designed with a dual wall, which creates a secondary burn reducing
the amount of smoke that is emitted by up to 50%*.
• As depicted in the diagram below, the Low Smoke Fire Pit works by air supply entering the re pit through the
slotted holes in the base. The secondary air ows up through the wall cavity, is heated and exits through the top
holes. Top holes allow for the hot oxygen to enter the pit, mix with the rising smoke and create a
secondary burn.
• The dual wall airow will take about 10-20 minutes to achieve a secondary burn.
• During the rst burn, you may notice a smell and excess amounts of smoke as the excess paint and residue
from production burns off.
NOTE
• The Aura 450 and 600 Fire Pit is designed to produce 50% less smoke* compared to a re pit of a
similar size.
• The Aura 450 and 600 Fire Pit will produce a cleaner burn than a standard re pit, however due to
the nature of the product, smoke will still be emitted from the re pit.
• The secondary burn function will be more effective when burning larger res.
* Produces up to 50% less smoke than a standard re pit of a similar size

UNPACKING YOUR FIRE PIT
• Ensure carton is in the upright position before attempting to remove the re pit and components.
• Due to the weight - it is recommended that two people lift the re pit components from the carton.
• Lay carton on a level surface, place a sheet or blanket on the ground to protect the surfaces of the re pit when
handling and unpacking.
• Carefully remove re pit components from carton - ensure all components are located before disposing
of packaging.
• Remove all packaging materials from the product prior to rst use.

USING YOUR FIRE PIT
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR USING YOUR FIRE PIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Always position your re pit on a rm and level surface.
• Follow all operating and safety instructions in this manual prior to using your re pit for the rst time and
subsequent uses.
IMPORTANT - FUEL TYPE AND LOADING
• This re pit is designed to burn wood only.
• Do not burn coal or coal briquettes.
• The re bowl is designed to burn small logs - approx 100mm /4in in diameter
or less (as a guide) and a total fuel load not exceeding 5 KGS at any one time.
Exceeding this recommendation may damage the re bowl or re pit body.
WARNING:
• Never overload the re bowl as this will lead to a hazardous situation that
may damage the re pit components.
FIRST FIRING
When using the re pit for the rst time - always start with a small re and
allow this to run until the initial fuel load is burnt through. This will assist the
re pit materials to cure and settle.
STARTING THE FIRE
• Use a small amount of kindling and some re starters - or wadded
newspaper to get the re started.
• Once the kindling is alight, you can slowly start to add some more rewood.
• Add rewood as required - but never overload the re bowl.
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
Avoid using cold water to extinguish the ames as this may damage re pit.
Generally, the re should always be allowed to die out naturally. However, if
immediate shutdown of the re is required, use sand to smother the ames.
As a safety precaution, always remember that coals can remain hot and
glowing for up to a few days.
When emptying the re bowl for cleaning or maintenance, always use
a steel bucket to retain left over coals and sand.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintaining and caring for your re pit is easy, with just a few simple steps to follow.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
• Never clean the re pit or re bowl when it is hot or still contains hot coals.
• Always allow the re pit to cool completely before cleaning or maintenance.
• Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, sprays or highly abrasive cleaning tools.
• Do not use high pressure water blasting devices to clean the surfaces of the re pit body as this may damage
or remove the surface coating.
• Always check any cleaning product on a small area of the underside of the product to conrm it is safe to use.
AFTER EACH USE
• Burnt wood and ash will collect in the tray. To maintain uninterrupted air ow for the product to work effectively
and to avoid res igniting underneath the re bowl, the tray must be cleaned out after each use.
• When the re pit has cooled down, unsecure the re bowl from the tray by loosening the 3 bolts on the side of
the re bowl. Carefully lift off the re bowl and thoroughly clean out all the ash and burnt wood from the tray.
• Empty any debris from re bowl into a metal container or bucket.
• Gently scrub the re bowl with a sponge (or old scouring pad) with a mild detergent and warm water.
• Rinse the bowl with clean water and dry.
• Once you have cleaned the re bowl and tray, secure the bowl back onto the tray using the 3 bolts on the side.
• To maintain the look of the re bowl and protect the steel, it should be re-painted as needed, using a high
temperature paint. (Available from your retailer).
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Depending on the amount of use - at least once or twice a year - the re pit and re bowl should be cleaned
according to the care and maintenance instructions supplied in these instructions.
• The re bowl should be inspected to ensure it is not cracked or split. In the event the re bowl is cracked or
split, discontinue use immediately. Contact Mayo Hardware in the event your re bowl has split or cracked.
• If your Fire Pit needs to be re-painted, it is important this can be done as soon as possible. Exposed metal
without paint will lead to the surface rusting.
STORAGE
When not in use, the re pit should be protected from long term exposure to the elements: e.g. Sun, Wind, Rain.
Move the re pit to a covered outdoor space or store the unit in a dry environment, for example, a garage or
suitable storage space.
The re pit should be covered to prevent exposure to moisture or dust and to prevent rusting.
