unit.
• Always place lid (if applicable) or protective cover on heating item when not in use.
SURFACE CARE
Our composite material has been sealed with a treatment to prevent staining and moisture absorption, but it does require proper
maintenance to ensure the integrity of the surface.Please see below for recommendations on maintaining your unit surface for years of
pleasure:
• Clean any spills immediately to prevent permanent surface staining or damage.Absorb any liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth to avoid
spreading of the spill to the rest of the table.Clean surface with a soft, clean cloth or sponge. Mix a solution of warm clean water and mild dish
soap to remove any surface dirt or mild spills. Rinse all soap solution off of the firebowl and dry completely to avoid water spots. Regularly
cleaning the surface will aid in a longer lasting product.
• Do not use petroleum-based or abrasive cleaning products. Do not use any harsh brushes when cleaning the surface.
• Do not slide products across the surface to avoid permanent scratching and damage.
• Always use protective mats such as coasters or placemats when eating on an surface. These protective products will help absorb sweating on
cool beverages and will block out any heat rings from appearing beneath a warm mug or plate. When placing hot dishes on an surface, always
use mats or hot pads.
•The surface must be covered at all times when not in use. Cover your product with an outdoor furniture cover when not in use to protect it
from the elements. Store your product indoors during winter months. Avoiding extreme cold temperatures prevent cracking of the firebowl.
