Dry lay the cap units and place the steel insert in the center of the opening. Make sure
that the insert flange rests evenly on top of the cap units and that the cap units overhang
the fire pit wall in a uniform way.
Take out the steel insert and lift up each cap unit individually leaving the others in place
to act as a guide. Apply adhesive to glue every cap unit to the blocks beneath it. Put
back the steel insert with the flange resting on top of the cap units.
Fill the inside of the pit with 3⁄4" (20 mm) clean stone to a depth of 4" (100 mm). This
will allow the filtration of any water that may evacuate through the walls of the fire pit
following a rainstorm.
Do not light a fire for at least 48 hours to allow any adhesive to cure properly and for
potentially flammable fumes to dissipate.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
• The fire pit is not designed for large fires. Use only a small amount of dry and clean
hardwood for burning.
• Allow the fire to burn out on its own unless it is an emergency case. Extinguishing
an active fire with water or any other liquid may cause the metal components of
the accessory kit to warp and will encourage the formation of rust.
• Do not burn charcoals, leaves, trash, paper, cardboard, and softwoods such as pine,
cedar and plywood.
• Do not use lighter fluid, gasoline, or other fire accelerants to start or maintain fires.
• Never touch the steel insert and flange while a fire is lit. The steel insert and flange
will become extremely and burn the skin on contact. Wear fire resistant gloves
when maintaining the fire.
• The fire pit area must always be clear and free from any combustible materials such
as gasoline, propane tanks and/or any other flammable vapors and/or liquids.
• Always have a fire extinguisher or garden hose nearby for any potential emergency.
• Avoid using the fire pit in windy conditions.
• At each use, before starting a fire, remove all accumulation of ashes, wood and
debris from the fire bowl and inspect the overall fire pit and accessories to ensure
that it is in safe operational condition.
