This document is a use and care guide for a Hampton Bay Cast Iron Outdoor Chiminea, identified by Item #1001 814 396 and Model #FP-51186D. It provides comprehensive instructions for assembly, operation, and maintenance of the chiminea, along with important safety information and warranty details.
The Hampton Bay Cast Iron Outdoor Chiminea is designed for outdoor use as a decorative and functional fire pit. Its primary function is to provide warmth and ambiance in an outdoor setting by burning untreated wood or fire logs. The chiminea features a distinctive design with a tall flue, a mesh screen surrounding the fire bowl, and a sturdy stand, all constructed from cast iron. The design allows for efficient burning and directs smoke upwards, making it a suitable centerpiece for patios, decks, or garden areas, provided it is placed on a non-combustible surface and away from flammable materials.
The chiminea is intended for burning only untreated wood or fire logs, with a maximum capacity of 5 lbs of fuel. Users are explicitly warned against using gasoline or kerosene to start fires, as well as against burning in vehicles, tents, or indoors due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The chiminea is not designed for cooking food, emphasizing its role as a heat and ambiance provider rather than a grilling appliance.
To light the chiminea, users should place a layer of dry seasoned hardwood inside and use a long match or stick lighter. A poker is provided for operating the chiminea, and users are advised to wear heat-resistant gloves during use for safety. The mesh cover is a crucial safety feature, and users must ensure it is securely fastened over the fire bowl while the chiminea is in use. The poker can be used to open or close the mesh cover.
Safety is a paramount concern, with numerous warnings highlighted throughout the manual. Users are cautioned against touching the surface of the chiminea while it is in use, as it can cause burns. The unit should never be moved while hot or in use. Children and pets must be supervised and kept away from the fire pit. Proper placement is also critical; the chiminea should be placed no closer than 8 ft. from walls or combustible materials. Users are also advised to have adequate fire extinguishing material readily available. Importantly, water should not be used to extinguish the fire, as this is dangerous and can damage the fire pit. Instead, the fire should be allowed to burn itself out.
The assembly process is detailed with step-by-step instructions and diagrams. It involves attaching the handle to the chimney cover, assembling the stand to the chimney bottom, attaching the tray to the stand, securing the mesh screen to the chimney bottom, and finally, assembling the chimney top and flue. Users are advised to hand-tighten bolts and nuts initially and then securely tighten them with the provided M6 wrench and a Philips screwdriver. Wearing gloves during assembly is recommended.
Regular maintenance is essential to extend the life and preserve the finish of the chiminea. After each use, once the ashes have cooled completely, the fire pit should be cleaned. The manual specifically instructs users not to attempt to clean the fire pit while it is hot. A soft cloth should be used for cleaning the fire pit and poker, and bare hands should be avoided to protect the finish.
For storage, the assembled chiminea should be kept in a cool, dry location, away from children and pets. When not in use and after it has cooled, the fire pit should be covered to protect it from the elements. This helps prevent rust and maintains its aesthetic appeal.
The manual also includes a warranty section, offering a 1-year limited warranty on the metal frame against manufacturing defects to the original purchaser. However, it explicitly states that the warranty does not cover commercial use, hardware, acts of nature, fire, freezing, abusive use, or purchased parts. The customer is responsible for freight and packaging charges to and from the service center.
Overall, the Hampton Bay Cast Iron Outdoor Chiminea is presented as a user-friendly outdoor heating appliance, emphasizing safety, proper usage, and straightforward maintenance to ensure a long-lasting and enjoyable experience.
