5. Operating Instructions

1. Placement: Ensure the assembled fire pit ring is placed on a level, non-combustible surface, or embedded securely. Maintain adequate clearance from structures, flammable materials, and vegetation.
2. Fuel: Place dry, seasoned wood inside the ring. Avoid overfilling the ring to prevent embers from escaping. The large diameter allows for ample wood capacity.
3. Ignition: Ignite the wood carefully using appropriate fire starters. Do not use flammable liquids or accelerants.
4. Supervision: Maintain a safe distance from the fire. Never leave a burning fire unattended.
5. Extinguishing: Allow the fire to burn down naturally. Do not extinguish with water, as this can damage the steel and create steam hazards. Once embers are cool, ensure no hot spots remain before leaving the area.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your IDZO Fire Pit Ring.

• Cleaning: After each use, once the fire pit has completely cooled, remove ash and debris. A small shovel or ash vacuum can be used. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the matte black finish.
• Storage: Store the fire pit in a dry location when not in use for extended periods to prevent rust and prolong its lifespan.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain secure.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty assembling panels: Ensure panels are correctly aligned and pre-drilled holes match before tightening screws. Do not force connections.
• Excessive smoke: Use only dry, seasoned hardwood. Wet or green wood produces more smoke. Ensure adequate airflow around the fire pit.
• Rust formation: The steel is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, but prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to surface rust. Clean and dry the unit after use, and store in a dry place. A high-temperature rust-resistant paint can be applied if desired.
