CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. The product is intended for individual use.
2. The product must never be used indoors.
3a. Place the product on a flat, horizontal, hard, non-combustible and stable ground providing the required load carrying capacity, and in a place sheltered from strong wind. Always place at a safe distance (minimum 300cm) from flammable objects e.g. branches, wooden fences or floors, fuel, fire, etc. Do not place the device under the protruding hoods, near open doors or windows.
3b. Never place a firepit directly on top of decking or patio (paving slabs) as this could cause severe damage or even a potential fire due to the composition of the materials. A specially made fire pit mat should always be placed underneath the fire pit as this will withstand the high temperatures generated and protect/shield the surrounding decking/ patio or paving area.
3c. The fire pit should never be beside any walls or hanging structures like roofs or gazebos as these can become damaged by the smoke and heat. Any soft furnishings such as garden rugs or patio sets should be kept at least ten feet away to prevent any accidents. A metal fire pit can reach up to 800°F, pushing 200° to 400° of radiant heat onto decking; plastics soften at 176° and melt between 250° and 350°. A thermal barrier can prevent high heat from warping composites.
