• Read these instructions before assembly and use
• Whilst every effort has been made in the manufacturing of
your patio heater to remove any sharp edges, care should be
taken in handling to avoid accidental injury
Important instructions for the use of your Patio Heater
Due to their excellent heat output, care must be taken to site your Oven
on stable ground safely away from any combustible materials: remember
the whole unit will heat up
The oven should not be placed directly onto wooden surfaces and should
be kept away from wooden fences or other combustible materials (a
distance of 6 inches is normally adequate.
The Oven should not be positioned underneath overhanging trees, gazebos
or anything else that may be set alight. If using on decking, we highly
recommend siteing the Chiminea on a paving slab first
Cast Iron Chimineas are outside products and should never be used
indoors unless you have sought the advice of a fireplace and chimney
specialist.
Using your Patio Heater
All our Chimineas are hand painted using high temperature paint. To assist in the
paints curing process, and to provide an improved rust protection, it is advisable
to comply with the following simple instructions immediately you position your
Chiminea:
Fit the BBQ cooking grate as required. This should not normally be
fitted while using the Chiminea for heating, but will allow the finish on
the grate to cure at the same time as on the rest of the unit.
Using kindling only, light a small fire that should burn for 15-20
minutes.
While the Chiminea is still warm, set and light another 15-20 minute
kindling fire.
A full fire should then be burnt for approximately 45-60 minutes, again
starting while the Chiminea is still warm, then allowed to cool naturally.
This will complete your curing process.
Once cured, keep fires to a sensible size avoiding flames coming out
from the top of the chimney.
There are many types of fuels can be burnt inside your chiminea, wood, coal and
charcoal, fire briquettes etc however we only recommend BBQ charcoals and BBQ
briquettes for cooking.
Always start the fire slowly and DO NOT use Kerosene or other
flammable liquids to start the fire which may increase
temperatures rapidly.
Remember your patio heater is not a furnace – it will give plenty of
heat under normal use. Too large a fire may damage your patio
heater and could be dangerous.
CAUTION
Let the fire go out naturally – DO NOT extinguish with water
When not in use do not allow the base of the oven to fill with water (cover
with the rain cap provided to stop rain entering and remove before use)
