Firepits Care and Maintenance Information
SOLAR - MACH LIT &
ELECTRONIC IGNITION FIREPITS
Thank you for choosing our Hard by Design
Solar Firepit. Our Firepits are handmade using
a custom engineered proprietary concrete
mix that we have developed ourselves. All of
our products have been finished and sealed
with our standard sealant for both interior and
exterior use.
As with every natural product, concrete will
react to its environment and naturally weather
and patina as it ages. Products are not under
warranty against staining. Cleaning regularly
and covering your firepit when not in use
will protect it from rain, snow, and adverse
weather conditions.
FIREPIT CARE/MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING
•
Ensure the burner and pilot area is kept clean and
clear of dirt and water residue especially anything
combustible. This can be achieved by vacuuming or
brushing this area as frequent as necessary.
•
Make sure burner porting and burner air vents at the
base of your firepit are free of obstructions at all times.
•
We recommend using a mild solution of a non-
abrasive cleaner. We would recommend Method All-
Purpose Natural Surface Cleaner. Spray this solution
across the surface and wipe down with a sponge or
towel.
•
The use of most natural cleaners (often citrus based)
is not recommended for cleaning our firepits, as typically
these cleaners are highly acidic and can damage the
natural materials used in creating our concrete firepits.
•
The use of aggressive cleaning agents or any other
chemicals that are reactive to the concrete will wear
down the sealant and permanently stain and damage the
concrete surfaces, therefore should not be used.
COVER
•
We recommend using an optional cover (available
in powder coated colour matched aluminium, in colour
matched timber and in glass) whenever the firepit is not
in use and during adverse weather conditions. Allow
plenty of time for the firepit to cool before covering.
•
We also recommend using the included weatherproof
covering, which will prolong the life of your firepit and its
components.
