6. Operating Instructions

1. Fuel: Use only natural wood or burn pellets. Avoid using treated wood, trash, or other materials that may produce excessive smoke or harmful fumes.
2. Starting the Fire: Place kindling and small pieces of wood in the center of the fire pit. Use a fire starter (not included) to ignite the kindling. Gradually add larger pieces of wood as the fire grows.
3. Maintaining the Fire: Add wood as needed to maintain the desired flame. The compact design helps keep wood tightly together for hotter, more efficient burning. Use the provided fire poker to adjust logs if necessary.
4. Reduced Smoke: The fire pit's design promotes secondary combustion, significantly reducing smoke once the fire is established and burning hot.
5. Extinguishing the Fire: Allow the fire to burn down naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the fire rapidly, as this can cause warping or damage to the stainless steel. Once the flames have subsided and only embers remain, you may carefully use a small amount of water to fully extinguish any remaining embers. Ensure all embers are completely out before leaving the fire pit unattended.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your fire pit.

1. Ash Removal: Once the fire pit has completely cooled, lift the bottom plate and remove the ash tray. Dispose of ashes safely in a metal container.
2. Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the fire pit with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the stainless steel finish.
3. Storage: When not in use, cover the fire pit with the provided waterproof cover and store it in a cool, dry place to protect it from weather elements.

8. Troubleshooting

• Excessive Smoke: Ensure you are using dry, seasoned wood. Wet or green wood produces more smoke. Also, ensure proper airflow by not overfilling the fire pit.
• Difficulty Starting Fire: Use adequate kindling and fire starters. Ensure wood is dry.
• Fire Dies Down: Add more fuel. If the fire is low, you may need to manually stoke it from the top down, as side vents are not present for wind assistance.
• Discoloration: Stainless steel may show some discoloration after repeated use at high temperatures. This is normal and does not affect the performance or safety of the fire pit.
