3. Preparation For Use —
 Locate a suitable placement for the terrace fire pit, taking in mind the location of
combustible materials and level ground requirements. Moving of the terrace fire pit is
best, with an additional person standing either side of the unit.
 Remove the outer box, plastic bag packaging, locate the internal bubble bags con-
taining the pre-formed legs, together with a bubble bag with the ash pan and further
bag with the fixing screws and hex key. See section on recycling of waste materials.
 Next, taking the main body of the terrace fire pit, place on a level surface and prop
up the base (See Fig. 1.)
 Take 1x pre-formed leg and 1x M5x16 screw, feed the screw through the hole in the
base of the fire pit. Offer up the threaded section of the leg and engage screw
thread. At this stage only hand tighten.(See Fig. 2.)
 Repeat for the remaining 3x legs.
 Stand the unit upright on a level surface, and fully lighten the 4x screws using the
3mm hex key provided. Please note, ensure that the legs are parallel to the corners.
(See Fig. 3.)
 Ensure the ash pan slots between the notches within the legs (See Fig. 4.)

4. Lighting Your Fire Pit —
 Using the ‘Top Down Lighting Technique’, begin to place 2x large logs (approx.
100mm in diameter) in the front to back position, within the base of the firebox.
(See Fig. 5)
 Next, place smaller logs 180 degrees to the larger logs. Infill these with suitable
firelighters.
 On top of the smaller logs, build a grid of kindling and place a further fire lighter on
the very top. (See Fig. 6)
 Light the top fire lighter, the structure will start to burn downwards causing the lower
combustion products to ignite.
 Wait for approximately 5-10mins, to establish an ash bed.
 Reload on to a hot glowing ember bed with fresh logs.
 If using charcoal for fuel, follow the above procedure for wood. Except once the
established ash bed has been achieved, carefully load with lump wood charcoal.

5. Care Of Your Fire Pit —
After use, allow your fire pit to completely cool. Caution should be exercised, as
although the flame may be extinguished, there may be red hot embers or the
casing of the appliance may still be HOT.
 Before moving or cleaning the appliance ensure it is cool to touch.
 Do not allow the ash to build up above the sides of the appliance, remove the ash if it
becomes too high. Dispose of the ash appropriately.
 Cleaning the exterior finish, use a soft brush and a damp lint free cloth.
 Your Terrace fire pit is designed to be kept undercover and dry when not in use.
There are holes within the base of the pit, however, this is to allow the ash to fall into
the ash pan. If kept outside in the rain, then the ash pan, will act as a bucket, so
therefore it is recommended that the ash pan is left out off the unit when not in use.
 For long term storage over the winter months, we recommend, storing the unit inside
out of the elements. Apply a coating of light oil (linseed) over the exterior and cover
with a waterproof tarpaulin.
 After long term storage, inspect the unit for wear and tear or damage.
 Replacement parts can be obtained from www.aradastovesandspares.com or your
local retailer.
PLEASE NOTE : Discolouring of the exterior finish and surface oxidation is
normal, through usage, heating & cooling etc, and adds to the patina of the
appliance.
