4. Install Cooking Grate Support: Insert the support pole for the cooking grates into its designated slot on the fire pit.
5. Attach Cooking Grates: Place the two cooking grates onto the support pole. These are designed to be height-adjustable and swivel 360 degrees.

Operating Instructions

Using as a Fire Pit:

1. Placement: Position the fire pit on a level, non-combustible surface, away from any flammable materials or structures.
2. Fuel: Place dry, seasoned firewood into the fire bowl. Do not overfill.
3. Ignition: Use appropriate fire starters to ignite the wood. Never use flammable liquids like gasoline.
4. Monitoring: Always supervise the fire. Use the provided fire poker to adjust logs safely.
5. Extinguishing: Allow the fire to burn down naturally. Ensure all embers are completely extinguished before leaving or covering.

Using as a BBQ Grill:

1. Preparation: Ensure the fire pit is clean. Build a fire as described above, allowing coals to form for optimal grilling heat.
2. Install Grills: Place the two cooking grates onto the support pole. Adjust their height as needed for desired cooking temperature. The grates can swivel 360° for easy access.
3. Cooking: Place food directly on the grates or use pans/food-grade aluminum foil to cook. Using foil can help keep the grills clean.
4. Safety: Always use heat-resistant gloves and utensils when cooking.
5. Cleaning: After use, allow grates to cool, then clean thoroughly.

2. Clean Fire Bowl: Remove any ash or debris from the fire bowl.
3. Place Lid: Position the solid lid securely over the fire bowl. This converts the fire pit into a functional 36-inch round table.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, allow the fire pit to cool completely. Remove ash and debris from the fire bowl. Clean cooking grates with a wire brush and warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Rust Prevention: The fire pit is coated with high-temperature powder for rust resistance. However, prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause rust.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during inclement weather or off-season, cover the fire pit with the provided waterproof cover. Store in a dry area if possible.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they are tight. Check for any signs of damage or wear.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty during assembly:

Ensure all screws are only hand-tightened initially. Fully tighten all fasteners only after all components are correctly aligned and in place. Refer to the "Assembly Instructions" section for detailed steps. If parts are missing or damaged, contact customer support.

Fire not burning strongly:

Ensure you are using dry, seasoned wood. Wet or green wood will produce more smoke and less heat. Check that the airflow vents are not obstructed. The geometric cut-out design is intended to promote airflow.

Rust appearing on surfaces:

While the fire pit has a rust-resistant coating, prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to rust. Ensure the fire pit is covered with the waterproof cover when not in use and stored in a dry location during extended periods of inactivity.
