READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR FIRE PIT.
• Only use this Fire Pit on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the
Fire Pit. Never use on wooden surface or other surfaces that could burn.
• Proper clearance of 3m between the Fire Pit and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or
construction should be maintained at all times when Fire Pit is in use. Do not place Fire Pit under a roof overhang or other enclosed
area. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and may increase the risk of a re and/or property damage,
which could also result in personal injury.
• For outdoor use only. Do not operate Fire Pit indoors or in an enclosed area.
• For household use only. Do not use this Fire Pit for other than its intended purpose.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting the Fire Pit. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion
possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Place Fire Pit in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when Fire Pit is
in use.
• Do not leave Fire Pit unattended when in use.
• Do not store or use Fire Pit near gasoline or other ammable liquids, gases or where ammable vapors may be present.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your Fire Pit to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution
when reaching into or under Fire Pit.
• In windy weather, place Fire Pit in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
• Never leave ashes in Fire Pit unattended. Before Fire Pit can be left unattended, remaining ashes must be removed from Fire Pit.
Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining ashes in a non-combustible metal container and saturate
completely with water. Allow ashes and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
• Extinguished ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around Fire Pit to extinguish any ashes which may have fallen during
use.
• After each use, clean the Fire Pit thoroughly. Do not allow the Fire Pit to ll with rain water. Cover the Fire Pit to protect it from the
elements.
• Use caution when lifting or moving Fire Pit to prevent strains and back injuries.
• We advise that a re extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of re extinguisher.
• Store the Fire Pit out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.
• Although frost resistant, we strongly recommend storing your Fire Pit inside during winter.
• Properly dispose of all packaging material.
• Only use dry wood so you can achieve maximum warmth from your Fire Pit. Green wood will lead to a smoky cold re.
• Do not stack over-sized pieces of wood in the Fire Pit. Do not load Fire Pit above the solid base area of the Fire Pit. It is not a furnace
and roaring res are not recommended.
• Do not burn treated or painted wood as this may release toxins harmful to you and the environment.
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR FIRE PIT.

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 matchstick 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 matchstick 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 o
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.
