MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Progressive build up of charcoal and ash gradually raises the height of the fire with
progressive reduction of radiant heating performance. When the fire gets too high
the flames will reach the shoulders of the fire chamber.
Periodic removal of accumulated ash is advisable; by scooping down to the top of
the firebase, using disposable gloves or a brush and dust pan being careful to avoid
disturbing the firebase.
During use the Chimenea should have no ill affects from rain, as the heat will not
allow the water to absorb into the pottery.
WHEN NOT IN USE: The Chimenea should be protected from moisture. Water
drawn into the Chimenea via the capillaries, or soaking into the sand firebase; will
turn to steam when heated, and could crack the Chimenea. It should be kept
undercover or covered with a vinyl Rain Coat accessory.
WET CHIMENEA: If your Chimenea does get wet internally, as soon as possible
empty the fire chamber completely; dry out the inside with a fan forced heater or
hair dryer. The Chimenea is dry when it has regained its metallic ring when tapped.
