READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR FIRE BOWL.
• Only use this Fire Bowl on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground etc.) capable of supporting the weight of
the Fire Bowl. Never use on wooden surface or other surfaces that could burn.
• Proper clearance of 3m between the Fire Bowl and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or
construction should be maintained at all times when Fire Bowl is in use. Do not place Fire Bowl 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 Bowl indoors or in an enclosed area.
• For household use only. Do not use this Fire Bowl for other than its intended purpose.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting the Fire Bowl. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion
possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Place Fire Bowl in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when Fire
Bowl is in use.
• Do not leave Fire Bowl unattended when in use.
• Do not store or use Fire Bowl near gasoline or other ammable liquids, gases or where ammable vapors may be present.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your Fire Bowl to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution
when reaching into or under Fire Bowl.
• In windy weather, place Fire Bowl in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
• Never leave ashes in Fire Bowl unattended. Before Fire Bowl can be left unattended, remaining ashes must be removed from Fire
Bowl. 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 Bowl to extinguish any ashes which may have fallen
during use.
• After each use, clean the Fire Bowl thoroughly. Do not allow the Fire Bowl to ll with rain water. Cover the Fire Bowl to protect it
from the elements.
• Use caution when lifting or moving Fire Bowl 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 Bowl out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.
• Although frost resistant, we strongly recommend storing your Fire Bowl inside during winter.
• Properly dispose of all packaging material.
• Only use dry wood so you can achieve maximum warmth from your Fire Bowl. Green wood will lead to a smoky cold re.
• Do not stack over-sized pieces of wood in the Fire Bowl. Do not load Fire Bowl above the solid base area of the Fire Bowl. 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 BOWL.

Operating Instructions
This Fire Bowl is designed for use only with wood. Before
rst use make sure all labels, packaging and protective
lms have been removed from the Fire Bowl.
Lighting
The secret to lighting the Fire Bowl 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 Bowl.
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 Bowl. 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 Bowl 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 Bowl. 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 Bowl.
• 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 Bowl is cool and with the fuel supply removed.
Check the Fire Bowl 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 Bowl.
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 Bowl to protect it from the elements.
It is quite normal for the Fire Bowl 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.
