USING YOUR FIRE PIT
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ASSEMBLING OR USING YOUR FIRE PIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Note: The lightweight cement components are reinforced with breglass to provide strength. Loose breglass
bres may be present. Fibreglass, while not harmful may cause skin irritation if it comes into contact with your
skin. Therefore, wash all components to remove any traces of breglass before assembling or using your re pit
for the rst time.
• Dry all components with a soft cloth - and allow components to completely dry before rst use.
• Always position your re pit on a rm and level surface.
• Follow all operating & safety instructions in this manual prior to using your re pit for the rst time and
subsequent uses.
SAND
• This product is designed to be operated with a layer of dry sand in the
re bowl. The sand acts as an insulator - helping to extend the life of the
re bowl.
• We recommend a minimum layer thickness of about 20-30mm.
• Do not leave wet sand in the re bowl for extended periods - this will
only lead to premature corrosion of the steel bowl.
IMPORTANT - FUEL TYPE & LOADING
• This re pit is designed to burn wood only.
• Do not burn coal or coal briquettes.
• The re bowl is designed to burn small logs - approx 100mm /4in in
diameter or less (as a guide) and a total fuel load not exceeding 3-4 KGS
at any one time. Exceeding this recommendation may damage the re
bowl or re pit body.
FIRST FIRING
When using the re pit for the rst time - always start with a small re and
allow this to run until the initial fuel load is burnt through. This will assist the
re pit materials to cure and settle.
STARTING THE FIRE
• Use a small amount of kindling and some re starters - or wadded
newspaper to get the re started.
• Once the kindling is alight, you can slowly start to add some more
rewood.
• Add rewood as required - but never overload the re bowl.
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
Avoid using cold water to extinguish the ames as this may damage re pit.
Generally, the re should always be allowed to die out naturally. However, if
immediate shutdown of the re is required, use sand to smother the ames.
As a safety precaution, always remember that coals can remain hot and
glowing for up to a few days.
When emptying the re bowl for cleaning or maintenance, always use a steel
bucket to retain left over coals and sand.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintaining and caring for your re pit is easy, with just a few simple steps to follow.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
• Never clean the re pit or re bowl when it is hot or still contains hot coals.
• Always allow the re pit to cool completely before cleaning or maintenance.
• Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, sprays or highly abrasive cleaning tools.
• Do not use high pressure water blasting devices to clean the surfaces of the re pit body as this may damage or
remove the surface coating.
• Always check any cleaning product on a small area of the underside of the product to conrm it is safe to use.
AFTER EACH USE
Fire Bowl:
• Remove the re bowl from the re pit.
• Empty the sand and any debris from re bowl into a metal container or bucket.
• Remove any debris from the sand. Sand may be reused but avoid using sand that is wet or damp as this will
increase the rate of corrosion of the steel re bowl.
• Gently scrub the re bowl with a sponge (or old scouring pad) with a mild detergent and warm water.
• Rinse the bowl with clean water and allow to dry.
• To maintain the look of the re bowl and protect the steel, it should be re-painted as needed, using a high
temperature paint. (Available from your retailer).
Body Components:
• Remove the re bowl from the re pit body.
• Rinse the body components with water (garden hose on a gentle setting).
• Clean the body components using a damp soft cloth or soft brush with mild detergent and warm water.
• Rinse the surfaces with clean water and dry the surfaces with a soft cloth - allow unit to completely dry before
using the re pit.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Depending on the amount of use - at least once or twice a year - the re pit and re bowl should be cleaned
according to the care and maintenance instructions supplied in these instructions.
• The re bowl should be inspected to ensure it is not cracked or split. In the event the re bowl is cracked
or split - it should be replaced. (Replacement bowls can be ordered from your retailer - only use original
specication replacement parts).
STORAGE
When not in use, the re pit should be protected from long term exposure to the elements: e.g. Sun, Wind, Rain.
Move the re pit to a covered outdoor space or store the unit in a dry environment, for example, a garage or
suitable storage space. The re pit should be covered to prevent exposure to moisture or dust.
