CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Maintaining and caring for your fire pit is easy, with just a few simple steps to follow.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
•
Never clean the fire pit or fire bowl when it is hot or still contains hot coals.
•
Always allow the fire pit to cool completely before cleaning or maintenance.
•
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, sprays or highly abrasive cleaning tools.
•
Do not use high pressure water blasting devices to clean the surfaces of the fire pit body as this may damage or
remove the surface coating.
•
Always check any cleaning product on a small area of the underside of the product to confirm it is safe to use.
AFTER EACH USE
Fire Bowl:
•
Remove the fire bowl from the fire pit.
•
Empty the sand and any debris from fire bowl into a metal container or bucket.
•
Remove any debris from the sand. Sand may be reused but avoid using sand that is wet or damp as this will
increase the rate of corrosion of the steel fire bowl.
•
Gently scrub the fire bowl with a sponge (or old scouring pad) with a mild detergent and warm water.
•
Rinse the bowl with clean water and allow to dry.
•
To maintain the look of the fire bowl and protect the steel, it should be re-painted as needed, using a high
temperature paint. (Available from your retailer).
Body Components:
•
Remove the fire bowl from the fire pit body.
•
Rinse the body components with water (garden hose on a gentle setting).
•
Clean the body components using a damp soft cloth or soft brush with mild detergent and warm water.
•
Rinse the surfaces with clean water and dry the surfaces with a soft cloth - allow unit to completely dry before
using the fire pit.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
•
Depending on the amount of use - at least once or twice a year - the fire pit and fire bowl should be cleaned
according to the care and maintenance instructions supplied in these instructions.
•
The fire bowl should be inspected to ensure it is not cracked or split. In the event the fire bowl is cracked
or split - it should be replaced. (Replacement bowls can be ordered from your retailer - only use original
specification replacement parts).
STORAGE
When not in use, the fire pit should be protected from long term exposure to the elements: e.g. Sun, Wind, Rain.
Move the fire pit to a covered outdoor space or store the unit in a dry environment, for example, a garage or
suitable storage space. The fire pit should be covered to prevent exposure to moisture or dust.
