Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating any fire pit. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in property damage, injury, or death.

Outdoor Use Only: This fire pit insert is designed exclusively for outdoor use. Do not use indoors or in enclosed spaces.
Clearance: Maintain a safe distance from combustible materials, structures, and vegetation. Ensure adequate overhead clearance.
Stable Surface: Install the fire pit insert on a level, non-combustible surface.
Supervision: Never leave a burning fire unattended. Keep children and pets away from the fire pit.
Fuel: Use only seasoned firewood. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other flammable liquids to start or rekindle a fire.
Extinguishing: Always have a means to extinguish the fire readily available, such as a fire extinguisher, water hose, or sand.
Hot Surfaces: The fire pit insert and surrounding areas will become extremely hot during use and remain hot for a significant period afterward. Avoid direct contact.
Ash Disposal: Allow ashes to cool completely before disposal. Dispose of ashes in a metal container.

Setup and Installation

The Breeo Zentro fire pit insert is designed for effortless integration into new or existing block, stone, or masonry surrounds. No complex assembly is required; simply drop it into place.

Prepare Surround: Ensure your fire pit surround is constructed from non-combustible materials like block, stone, or concrete.
Dimensions: The 30" Round Zentro insert is designed to fit into a block inside diameter of 32"-40". Verify your surround's internal dimensions meet this requirement.
Optimal Airflow Depth: For optimal performance and airflow, your fire pit surround should have a depth of at least 15 inches. This allows for approximately 3 inches of space between the bottom of the insert and the ground, crucial for the patented X Airflow system.
Placement: Carefully lower the Zentro insert into the prepared surround. The spacer brackets under the flange will help ensure proper airflow around the unit.
Leveling: Ensure the insert is level within the surround for stable operation.

Operating Instructions

The Breeo Zentro is designed for use with wood as a fuel type, providing a significantly reduced smoke experience once the fire reaches optimal temperature.

Fuel Selection: Use only dry, seasoned firewood. Avoid using treated wood, trash, or other materials that can produce excessive smoke or harmful fumes.
Starting the Fire: Place a small amount of kindling (e.g., small dry sticks, paper, or natural fire starters) in the center of the fire pit. Light the kindling.
Adding Wood: Once the kindling is burning steadily, gradually add larger pieces of firewood. Arrange the wood to allow for good airflow.
Achieving Smokeless Operation: The Zentro's X Airflow system works most effectively once the fire is hot and established. Allow the fire to burn for some time, spreading hot coals to heat the entirety of the insert. You may observe some smoke during the initial stages or when adding new logs, but this should significantly decrease as the fire reaches optimal temperature.
Maintaining the Fire: Add wood as needed to maintain your desired fire size. Avoid overfilling the fire pit.
Extinguishing the Fire: Allow the fire to burn down naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the fire, as this can damage the stainless steel and create excessive steam. Once the flames have subsided and only embers remain, you can cover the fire pit with the included lid to protect it from elements. Ensure embers are completely cool before leaving unattended.

Maintenance

The Breeo Zentro fire pit insert is designed for zero maintenance, featuring no moving parts or tools required for upkeep. However, some simple practices will ensure its longevity and continued performance.

Ash Removal: After each use, once the ashes are completely cool, remove them from the fire pit. This can be easily done with a small brush and dustpan. Regular ash removal ensures optimal airflow for future fires.
Cleaning: The 304 stainless steel will develop a natural patina over time, which is normal. For aesthetic cleaning, you can wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the surface.
Lid Use: Utilize the included lid when the fire pit is not in use. This protects the insert from rain, debris, and helps keep the interior clean. The lid provides a water-tight seal.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution

Difficulty Starting Fire	Insufficient kindling Wet kindling/wood	Use ample dry kindling and fire starters. Ensure all wood is dry and seasoned.
Poor Heat Output	Small fire size Insufficient fuel	Build a larger fire with more wood. Ensure proper airflow as described in setup.
