OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This Fireplace is designed for use only with wood.
Beforerstusemakesurealllabels,packaging
andprotectivelmshavebeenremovedfromthe
Fireplace.
Lighting
The secret to lighting the Fireplace successfully is
goodpreparationofthereandusingdryfuel.
1. Begin with a base of single sheets of dry
 newspaperformedintostsizedballs.Place
these onto the wood grate of the Fireplace.
2. Get dry kindling about matchstick thickness.
It is important they are dry - manuka twigs
are ideal. Place this kindling on top of the
newspaper taking care not to crush the paper
down as this will reduce the air gap and starve
 thereofoxygen.
3. On top of the match stick thick kindling add
two good handfuls of sticks about pencil
thickness.
4. Finally have to hand a good supply of dry
wood about thumb thickness. Keep this to one
side for now.
5. Now place a match or lighter to the dry paper
at the base of Fireplace. You can light it in a
couple of places. The volume of smoke and
 amewillincreaseasthepapercatchesthe
match stick thick twigs alight and in turn this
lights the pencil thick twigs.
6. Whentheamesappearthroughthetopof
the loaded Fireplace fuel then you can add
the thumb thick wood with care, a few pieces
at a time, to build up the fuel supply in
the Fireplace. Once a good ember bed is
established thicker wood can be added.
Note: Split wood generally burns better than
round wood. All wood should be dry. Burning
greenwoodwillleadtoasmoky‘cold’re.Donot
burn plastic as it gives off harmful smoke for both
you and the environment.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should
be done when Fireplace is cool and with the fuel
supply removed.
Check the Fireplace regularly to ensure it is safe
to use. If there is any sign of damage DO NOT use
until repairs are made.
Abrasive cleaners will damage this product. Never
use oven cleaner to clean any part of Fireplace.
1. Wipe surfaces clean with mild dishwashing
detergent or baking soda.
2. For stubborn surfaces use a citrus based
degreaser and a nylon scrubbing brush.
3. Rinsecleanwithwater.
When not in use store in a dry location, and if
possible cover the Fireplace to protect it from the
elements.
ItisquitenormalfortheFireplacetodevelopan
agedlookafterseveralres.Overtimeitmay
develop surface rust, which is normal and due to
natural weathering, particularly if it is left outdoors
uncovered.
