Do not load more than 3 kilograms of permitted material into the fireplace. Failure to comply with this recommandation will cause the combustion chamber (walls of the fireplace) to burn out sooner and will permanently remove the corrosion protective coating. In extreme circumstances it may result in a permanent deformation of the fireplace structure!Never touch or lean on the fireplace or place objects at the bottom of the structure. Failure to comply with this instruction may lead to severe bodily injury, death or property damage.NOTE : Emty the ashtray only after the fireplace has cooled down completely and use gloves to avoid burns.The combustion chamber is made of steel and may expand when exposed to high temperatures. Constant temperature fluctuations may, under certain conditions, lead to micro cracks or warps in the walls. These are not defects and do not adversely affect the stability and performance ofb the structure. All corrosion spots which may appear in the combustion chamber will become oxidised as long as the fireplace is used regularly.NOTE : First prepare a concrete base capable of carrying the weight of the fireplace.Laying cobbles or foundation for the fireplace :Remove the soil until you reach the appropriate depth. Level and compact the bottom of the trough. Depending on the type of soil, build a 15-30 cm thick (up to 60 cm thick in case of loamy soil) foundation of concrete or broken stone whose dimensions are equel to, or greater than, the base of the fireplace. When laying cobbles, first lay a 3 cm thick bedding layer of cement and sand and then lay the cobbles. Then compact the surface using a vibrating plate compactor with a plate of vulkollan or rubber. Fill in the gaps between cobbles with dry and sifted sand with a grain size of 0-3 mm, brushing the sand in. Place the structure of the fireplace centrally on the cobbled surface or set concrete.The foundation must be even and smooth. In case the fireplace is entended to be placed on a terrace or a similar location, the place needs to be first inspected by a professional to identify whether it can carry the load.If the fireplace is placed near a building, at least a 10 cm gap must be left between the wall of the building and the fireplace to ensure proper ventilation.Note! The above instruction applies to cobbles laid on a foundation in a sandy or gravelly soil only. In case of loamy soil, an additional drain layer, 20 to 60 cm thick, needs to be build. Contact professionals from the building and paving industry for a detailed instruction how to build the surface. A proper foundation made from suitable materials and cobbles laid in accordance with the best paving practice are essential to guarantee a long-lasting surface and user safety.www.barbecook.com3
