Troubleshooting
Hearth appears wobbly or uneven
Ensure the floor beneath the hearth is level; if not, use small shims to balance the unit until it rests firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The hearth requires no assembly. Ensure the floor surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of both the hearth and the stove. We recommend placing the hearth on a firm, non-slip surface.
Compatibility: This model is strictly intended for use with electric and bio-ethanol stoves. Do not attempt to use this product with wood-burning, coal, or gas stoves, as the finish may not withstand the intense direct heat or localized high temperatures those units produce.
Care: To maintain the lava stone effect, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which could damage the textured finish. If dust settles in the crevices, a soft-bristled brush can be used to gently remove debris.
