• Step 9: Place the cooktop on the bowl using the lifting tool. The cooktop slightly overhangs the bowl evenly on all sides. Always use the included lifting tools. If the lifters can't be used, position the bowl by lifting it through the center hole ONLY. DO NOT lift it by the outer edge as your fingers could get pinched between the bowl and the cooktop.

Never use wood from furniture, pallets or any other materials that can contain chemicals, veneer or paint. Grilling Tips: When using your Arteflame for the first time, it is good practice to build a fire that burns for at least an hour.

Any oxidation that does form can easily be removed using steel wool and re-oiling the cooktop. The more your Arteflame is used, the better the cooktop will be protected by the oil that you use on it. This oil will actually impregnate the cooktop and prevent oxidation.
An optional stainless steel lid is available from our store as well. Grilling Tips: Once the Arteflame has cooled down and the fire is out, it can be cleaned. Make sure all ashes and unburned wood pieces are completely cold. You can use a paper cup to scoop out the ashes.

STORAGE It is not necessary to store your Arteflame indoors. Your Arteflame can be left outside year round. When left outside, make sure to clean out your Arteflame before using it. Debris like leaves, twigs or snow can accumulate in it.
