Building A Fire
Once you understand the arrangement of your
outdoor appliance and have the appropriate
firewood, you are ready to start a fire.
Arrange kindling, small pieces of wood, and any fire
starters such as newspaper on the fire grates in the
bottom of the bowl. Light the fire with matches or a
lighter.
•
WARNING: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-
TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, OR SIMILAR
LIQUIDS TO START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE IN
THIS APPLIANCE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS
WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN
USE.
Superior air flow: The fire grate in the bottom of the
fire pit has been designed to smartly move air in the
most efficient pattern. The hole in the bottom of the
fire bowl takes in oxygen in a controlled way from
under the fire pit. Air flows up through the fire grates
and along the walls of the fire bowl to keep the fire
burning steadily and with reduced smoke.
Removal And Disposal Of Ashes
You can leave a thin layer of ashes in the Fire Bowl
if preferred. Allow fire to die down or go out
completely. It is important to prevent ashes from
building up around the fire grates. To remove ashes,
use a fireplace shovel. Avoid removing large live
coals by pushing them to the side and removing only
the finer ash with a shovel. It may be necessary to
lift out the fire grates temporarily with a poker or hook
temporarily while cleaning out the ash from the Fire
Bowl.
Disposal of ashes - Ashes should be placed directly
into a
metal
container with a tight fitting lid. Do not
place any other items or trash into the metal
container. Do not pour water into the container.
Replace the container’s lid and allow the ashes to
cool. Never place the ash disposal container on a
combustible surface or vinyl flooring, as the
container could be
hot!
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on
a noncombustible floor or on the ground outside, well
away from all combustible materials, liquid fuels, or
vehicles. Retain ashes in the closed container until
all coals thoroughly cool.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
NEVER
place ashes in wooden or plastic containers,
in trashcans with other trash, or in paper or plastic
bags, no matter how long the fire has been out.
Coals within a bed of ashes can remain hot for
several days once removed from the firebox.
Maintenance
When the Outdoor Appliance is cool, it is a good idea
to periodically check the hardware, tightening any
hardware that may have worked loose. Also check
the Fire Bowl and Base for stability and re-level if
necessary.
