COOKING ON YOUR FIREPIT
• Please follow previous instructions on how to start your fire.
• It is recommended that the unit be heated up and the fuel kept red hot for at least 30 minutes prior to first
cooking on the unit.
• Using heat resistant gloves and the hand tool, place the grill (4) on the top of the grill support bars (7) ensuring
the grill is stable.
• DO NOT cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
• If refueling is required, always use heat resistant gloves and the hand tool (6) provided to remove the grill (4)
as this will be very hot.
• When you have finished cooking DO NOT remove the grill (4) until the unit has completely cooled.
