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

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Now place a match or lighter to the dry paper
at the base of Chimenea. 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 Chimenea 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 Chimenea. 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 Chimenea is cool and with the fuel
supply removed.
Check the Chimenea 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 Chimenea.
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 Chimenea to protect it from the
elements.
It is quite normal for the Chimenea 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.
This Chimenea is designed for use only with wood.
Before rst use make sure all labels, packaging
and protective lms have been removed from the
Chimenea.
Lighting
The secret to lighting the Chimenea 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 Chimenea.
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.
