5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Starting a Fire

1. Ensure the fire pit is placed on a safe, non-combustible surface, away from structures and overhanging branches.
2. Place kindling (paper, small twigs) on the steel net at the bottom of the fire bowl.
3. Arrange small pieces of seasoned wood on top of the kindling.
4. Light the kindling. Once a small fire is established, gradually add larger pieces of wood.
5. Always use the spark screen once the fire is burning to prevent embers from escaping.

5.2 Using the Cooking Grate

• Position the cooking grate over the fire. Adjust the height as needed for optimal cooking temperature.
• The 360-degree swivel feature allows easy access to food without reaching directly over the flames.
• Ensure the grate is clean before and after each use.

5.3 Extinguishing the Fire

• Allow the fire to burn down naturally.
• If necessary, use water to thoroughly douse the embers. Stir the ashes to ensure all hot spots are extinguished.
• Do not leave the fire unattended until it is completely out.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: After the fire pit has completely cooled, remove ashes and debris. The deep bowl design and steel net facilitate easy cleaning.
• Rust Prevention: The fire pit is constructed from stable steel with heat-resistant painting. To prolong its life, store it in a dry place or use a weather-resistant cover when not in use.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all components for signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately.
