Maintenance, Cleaning And Storage - höfats SPIN Manual Del Usuario

Any movement can moreover cause the combustion gel to be
spilt and thus lead to an uncontrolled fire.
Do not pour water over SPIN during or immediately after
operation. This can lead to damage of the product.
Extinguishing
Always keep the extinguishing lid
near the device.
We generally recommend to let the
can burn down completely until it is
extinct. The combustion period of a
can is approx. 80 minutes.
Otherwise, put the lid onto the glass
cylinder and wait until the flame is
completely extinct. For extinguishing
the flame, only use the lid supplied.
Hold the lid at the small flap.
Attention: in the combustion chamber,
small flames – which are not visible
from the outside – can blaze for a long
time. Even if the fire is completely
extinct, the still hot can might inflame
refilled combustion gel.
Never extinguish the flame with water
– this can lead to a steam explosion
and cause severe burns.
Re-lighting
When the flames are extinct, let SPIN cool off completely
before cleaning.
If you nevertheless want to immediately relight SPIN, it is
essential to observe the following points:
• The glass cylinder is extremely hot; always wear fireproof
gloves (e.g. barbecue gloves) in order to remove the glass.
• In no case relight a hot combustion gel can; the hot bioethanol
forms – together with air – a highly flammable, even explosive
mixture.
• Remove the hot combustion gel can; always wear fireproof
gloves (e.g. barbecue gloves).
• Now insert a new combustion gel can and observe the
previous instructions "Opening of the combustion gel can",
"Lighting", "Putting on the glass cylinder", "During operation",
"Extinguishing".

2. Maintenance, cleaning and storage

SPIN is made of high-quality materials. In order to clean and
care the surfaces, please observe the following instructions:
When the flames are extinct, let SPIN cool off completely
before cleaning.
The glass cylinder is made of high-quality borosilicate glass and
can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth and some soap. Rinse
thoroughly and remove all soap residues before drying the glass.
Soap residues can increase the risk that soot particles set down
on the glass.
For the main unit, neither strong or abrasive solvents nor scrub
pads must be used. These would attack the surface and leave
scrape marks.
A wet, soft cloth with a pH-neutral cleaning agent is sufficient in
order to clean the main unit.
Always keep SPIN at a well-protected place and never expose
SPIN to harsh weather conditions.
3. SPIN on an increasing element
It is also possible to use SPIN with an increasing element. With
this application, SPIN can be used in increased position on the
ground. The increasing element is simply screwed between
footing and main unit.
Important: a maximum of one increasing element is allowed.
SPIN in increased position must only be operated outdoors.

4. SPIN on a ground spike
• SPIN can moreover be used on a ground spike. SPIN is thus
ideal for vivid garden fireFor this application, screw the main
unit without the footing and without any supporting element
onto the ground spike. Observe the quick guide.
• It is important to pinch the spike deeply enough into the ground
– we recommend one third of the spike's length until the
product stands securely and does no longer shake.
