Use And Maintenance - Char-Broil 7501416 User Manual

USE & MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that coals and ashes are removed from your fireplace between each use. Coals and
ash that build up can restrict air flow to the fire. MAKE SURE COALS AND ASH ARE COOL TO THE
TOUCH BEFORE REMOVING.
If your fireplace gets wet, be sure to dry it. Wet ashes can promote rust formation. It is recommended that
your fireplace be covered when not in use. NEVER COVER A HOT OR WARM FIREPLACE. Allow it to
cool first.
This fireplace is not intended to be used for a primary heat source. Do not overfill it.
Steel and Cast Iron Surfaces
The temperatures produced by wood burning outdoor fireplaces can vary with the type and amount of
combustible material being used. While formulated to withstand high temperatures, painted surfaced can
fade, peel, and eventually rust due to the extreme, damaging heat that wood-burning fires can produce.
Comparable to the patina effect of copper and bronze, rust is the natural occurrence that results on
surfaces that are not protected by paint or porcelain and are exposed to air and moisture. High-
temperature paint can be used if the rustic appearance of your outdoor fireplace is not desired.
Outdoor fireplaces that feature a porcelain coating are still susceptible to rust spots on the screens.
Fireplace mesh screens can not be porcelain coated and will require touch-up with paint that is rated for
use in high-temperature applications.
Copper and other Metallic Surfaces
Copper, chrome and other metallic surfaces often found on outdoor fireplaces will patina, change color,
and blacken with exposure to outdoor conditions, heat, and smoke. Cleaning these surfaces regularly
after each use with an appropriate metal polish can help reduce these effects.
If you notice any of these surface conditions before the outdoor fireplace is used, contact the Char-Broil
Service Center for a replacement of the defective equipment. Manufacturing defects are covered under
Char-Broil's 90 Day Limited Warranty.
