• We suggest you operate about a hand’s length away from the hot embers, or from a distance you feel most comfortable with heat-wise.
• While pumping, do not insert metal nozzle directly into the hot coals.
• Don't rest the bellow against the hot fireplace structure, otherwise it may damage the bellow.
