gusto gimenea®
Congratulations on purchasing a gusto handmade
garden gimenea. In order to insure that you enjoy
this crafted original for a long time, please read the
following explanation carefully before the first use.
Important:
-Before lighting fill in 3 – 7 cm sand or fine gravel
(do not light a fire directly on the clay bottom of the oven. This can
lead to damage!)
-Never use gas or spirit or similar liquids for starting the fire
or re-lighting!
-Keep children and pets at a distance when lighting. Take
note that the entire exterior of the gimenea can become hot!
-Always stay at a safe distance (Ill. 1):
-The flue on top should not be blocked by roofs or awnings.
(Danger of inflammation by sparks).
Further instructions:
1. Transport and assembly (only when cold)
It is best to carry the large gimeneas by two people. Place the stand on the intended place so that it
cannot tip over and put the chimney on it.
2. Igniting
Put 3 to 4 small wood pieces in the middle of the chimney on the layer of sand. For ignition it is best
to use gusto-Natural resin fire starter or small branches, brush-wood, paper etc..
3. Use
Your gimenea is intended for use on a patio and in the garden. In closed rooms, the gimenea may
only be used with a candle or a special burning paste which burns without smoke and does not
leave residues. Use the gusto Aztec Decoration Fire.
Light the one-piece gimeneas outdoors only with dry wood. Charcoal should only be used in the
gimeneas with a coal grate. Slowly heat the chimney the first couple of times with a small flame in
the middle of the oven allowing a soot and resin layer to form on the inside which protects the clay.
Then the chimney can be lit normally. Regularly replacing the sand and ash mixture protects the
bottom from too high temperatures.
The colour of your chimney will change after burning several times due to the material.
