Operating Instructions
This Fire Pit is designed for use only with wood.
Beforerstusemakesurealllabels,packagingand
protectivelmshavebeenremovedfromtheFirePit.
Lighting
The secret to lighting the Fire Pit 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intothebase
of the Fire Pit.
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 Fire Pit. 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 Fire Pit 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 Fire Pit. 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.
Extinguishing
• Allowretoburnitselfoutanddon’tleaveuntilthe
 reisfullyextinguished.
• DO NOT use water to extinguish as this is dangerous
and can cause damage to this outdoor Fire Pit.
• Ifyoumustleavebeforethereburnsitselfout, 
 smothertherewithabucketofsandtoextinguish.
 Checkthereisfullyextinguishedbeforeleaving.
Cleaning and Care
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be done
when Fire Pit is cool and with the fuel supply removed.
Check the Fire Pit 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 Fire Pit.
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 Fire Pit to protect it from the elements.
ItisquitenormalfortheFirePit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.
