Firepits Care and Maintenance Information cont...
SOLAR - MACH LIT &
ELECTRONIC IGNITION FIREPITS
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
•
To fully care and maintain your Hard by Design firepit
you should wax it periodically. Waxing your firepit
provides additional protection and is a simple and quick
process that should be completed on a monthly basis
on areas of high use. We recommend using Trewax Clear
Paste Wax. This product can be purchased online or with
us at Hard by Design.
•
Use the included sponge or a soft, clean cotton cloth
when waxing the surfaces of the firepit. First you should
dampen with clean water and wring out completely.
Apply in circular motions a thin layer of wax in small
manageable sections, we recommend areas no larger
than 1m
2
.
•
With the same circular motion, remove excess wax
using a new clean cloth. Buffing works the wax into the
concrete. Move to the next section overlapping the last
section slightly to create an even finish.
•
A thick layer of wax does not add extra protection or
speed up the waxing process therefore should not be
applied or left on the surface at any time.
•
Do not apply wax to the concrete firepit in direct
sunlight or in extreme heat.
RING & LAVA ROCK/FIREGLASS
CLEANING
•
Over time lava rocks and fireglass may show signs
of soot. This will not damage the rocks, but the soot
may build up and subsequently block the burner jets.
Depending on use, they should be cleaned annually. To
do this you must allow for adequate cooling time then
you simply remove the rocks to wash and scrub with a
stiff brush. If wet allow sufficient time for rocks to dry
before use.
•
If you have not used the firepit for some time, its
recommended you use a brush and vacuum to keep
the burner and pilot area clean. Carefully remove dust,
spider webs, and loose particles such as leaves that
will inevitably collect over time. The rocks should be
removed during this process and once cleaned should
be carefully placed back into the firepit. This should be
down twice a year at least.
•
Take time to inspect the burner element of your firepit.
If there is evidence of damage it must be replaced with
another, specified by the manufacturer.
•
The control box and valve lever can be cleaned with a
suitable stainless-steel cleaning product.
