Considerations Before Use
Check with your fire department for information on burning bans and chimenea & fire pit regulations in your area. Chimenea & Fire pits can
continue to remain hot and smoulder for a full 24 hours after the visible fire has been extinguished. Smouldering chimeneas or fire pits are a
common cause of injuries and burns, especially for children.
The surface of this product will discolour when placed outdoors
and from first use, due to the nature of the product and the heat/naked flames.
Choosing a Location For Setup
Chimeneas or Firepits need to be placed in a safe location. Do not place them near buildings, walls, outdoor furniture, inflatable pools or other
flammable items. Nearby items could catch fire from heat or flames. Position on a non flammable surface, clear of overhanging objects.
Using The Chimeneas Or Fire Pits
The product is for outdoor use only, and will become very hot during use.
Using the wrong materials inside a fire pit can be dangerous.Make sure to use only coal or wood.
Do not use
highly flammable items such as clothing, rags, paper towels, tissues or other items that could burn uncontrollably. Do not use gas,
kerosene, lighter fuel, alcohol or similar substances to light a fire. Never leave the product unattended.
Wind
Chimeneas or Fire pits should be protected from wind and not used when winds are high or gusty. Wind causes the smoke and fire to blow around,
which could spread burning embers. When using Chimeneas or Fire pits during light breezes, keep an eye on it to ensure no small embers escape.
Do not place Chimeneas or Fire pits near anything that could catch fire.
People & Pets
Supervise Children and Pets when the fire pit is in use.
Ensure that everyone near the Chimeneas or Fire pits understands it is an active fire and can produce smoke and embers. Do not allow children or
animals to get close to Chimeneas or Fire pits to avoid smoke inhalation and burns.
The Chimeneas or Fire Pit will get very hot and could burn someone if they get too close.
Extinguishing The Fire Properly
Chimeneas or Fire pits are dangerous if the fire is not extinguished properly. Do not extinguish the fire by pouring water into a hot fire bowl because
this may cause distortion, rust or flaking paint. Fire should be allowed to d
ie out on its own, or extinguished with a fire extinguisher. Its important to
note that fire can continue to smoulder and embers remain hot even if there is no visible flame. Make sure to stay near the fire pit after the flame is
out to check for burning embers or smoke, which could indicate that a live fire still exists. When in doubt, after the bowl has been allowed plenty of
time to cool down, fill the inside of the fire pit with water to make sure all the fire is out. The fire pit could still be hot for hours after use.
Cleaning The Fire Pit
Once you are sure the fire is out and there is no danger of being burned, dispose of any remaining ash and fire fuel (coal or wood), then wipe the fire
pit clean with a rag and water.
DO NOT USE A CHEMICAL BASED CLEANER as this may ignite a flame on next use.
Storage
It is best to keep the Chimeneas or Fire pits out of the rain. After you are sure the fire is completely extinguished, clean it out and store it away so it
does not get wet from outdoor conditions. It is recommended to protect chimeneas/fire pits from the rain with cover when not in use.
