WARNING
E. Frequently Asked Questions
D. After the Appliance is Lit
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light the appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which may have an odor or smell. If you feel this
odor is excessive it may require the initial one to two hour
continuous burn on high to fully drive off any odor from paint
and lubricants used in the manufacturing process.
Issue Solutions
Blue flames This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the log set is
allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.
Odor from log set When first operated, this log set may release an odor for the first several hours.
This is caused by the curing of the paint and burning off of any oils remaining from
manufacturing.
Metallic noise Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down,
similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect
the operation or longevity of the Outdoor Firepit.
Each time you use your Outdoor Fire
Pit, check that the flames are igniting at
all parts of the burner. If any part of the
burner is not igniting properly, turn the
appliance off. Let it cool, and check for
any obstructions.

Fire Gear LLC
Outdoor Fire Pits Limited One-Year Warranty
FIRE GEAR LLC extends the following warranty for the logs and stainless steel burner assembly for the Outdoor Fire Pits
used only in the United States of America or Canada. Dealers and employees of FIRE GEAR LLC have no authority to make
any warranty or authorize any remedies in addition to or inconsistent with the terms of this warranty. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
FIRE GEAR LLC warrants that this Outdoor Product (the “Product”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for
a period of one year from its date of purchase. This warranty is subject to the conditions, exclusions and limitations described
below.
This warranty applies only to the original owner of the Product and is non-transferable. FIRE Gear’s obligation under this
warranty does not extend to damages resulting from (1) assembly, operation or maintenance of the Product not in accordance
with the Installation/Assembly Instructions, Operating Instructions and the Listing Agency Identification Label furnished with
the Product; (2) installation or use which does not comply with local building codes and ordinances; (3) shipping, improper
handling, improper operation, abuse, misuse, accident or unworkmanlike repairs; (4) use of fuels other than those specified
in the Operating Instructions; (5) Installation or use of components not supplied with the Product or any other components
not expressly authorized and approved in writing by FIRE GEAR LLC; and/or (6) modification of the Product not expressly
authorized and approved in writing by FIRE GEAR LLC. Any of the circumstances described in the previous sentence voids
this warranty. This warranty is void if the Product or any component has been removed, repaired, or replaced before FIRE
GEAR LLC has been afforded a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Product.
This warranty is limited to the replacement or repair of defective components or workmanship and FIRE GEAR LLC may
fully discharge its obligations under this warranty by repairing or replacing, at its discretion, the defective components. FIRE
GEAR LLC will provide replacement parts at no charge and will pay reasonable and necessary labor and freight costs related
to replacing or repairing defective components under this warranty. The maximum amount recoverable under this warranty is
limited to the purchase price of the Product and, if FIRE GEAR LLC is unable to provide replacement or repair in an expedient
and cost-effective manner, FIRE GEAR LLC may discharge all obligations under this warranty by refunding the purchase
price of the Product.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, FIRE GEAR LLC MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN
THE WARRANTY EXPRESSED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION
OF THE WARRANTY SPECIFIED ABOVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL FIRE GEAR LLC BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.
To obtain service under this warranty, you must:
1. Send written notice of the claimed condition to FIRE GEAR LLC, P.O. BOX 871250, Canton, MI 48187 (888-220-4333)
2. Affirm that you are the original owner of the Product. Provide proof of purchase.
3. Provide FIRE GEAR LLC reasonable opportunity to investigate the claim, including reasonable opportunity to inspect
the Product prior to any repair or replacement work and before the Product or any component of the Product has been
removed.
4. Obtain FIRE GEAR LLC’ consent to any warranty work before the work is done.
