5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Lighting the Firepit

  1. Ensure the fire pit is on a safe, non-combustible surface, away from any flammable materials.
  2. Place a small amount of kindling (e.g., paper, small dry twigs) in the fire bowl.
  3. Add small pieces of seasoned wood on top of the kindling.
  4. Carefully light the kindling.
  5. Once the kindling is burning, gradually add larger pieces of seasoned wood. Avoid overfilling the fire pit.

5.2 Waterfallflame Technology

Your CIAYS fire pit utilizes patented Waterfallflame Technology for enhanced combustion and reduced smoke. This system features triple-layer combustion and 360° Airflow Heat distribution, boosting airflow by 200% for a hotter, cleaner burn. As the fire heats up, secondary and tertiary combustion zones ignite, leading to a more complete burn and minimal smoke output.

The included 304 stainless steel grill rack is food-grade quality, suitable for outdoor cooking.

  1. Once the fire has established a good bed of coals, carefully place the grill rack over the flame ring.
  2. Place food directly on the grill rack. Monitor cooking closely to prevent burning.
  3. Use the fire poker to adjust logs or coals as needed.
  4. After cooking, allow the grill rack to cool before cleaning.
