3. Check each component for shipping damage. If components are damaged, contact the store
where purchased or Duraflame, Inc.
4. Check the firebox dimensions to ensure that they are at least equal to the minimum dimensions
shown in Figure 2. The minimum clearances that the appliance originally required will be
adequate for this installation. You will need the two (2) ¼” x 1 ½” masonry screws provided for
this step. Place the burner / base in a solid-fuel-burning masonry fireplace, a UL127 factory-
built fireplace, or an approved (to ANSI Z21.92) ventless firebox, centered left to right on a level
surface. When it is positioned properly, mark the screw locations through the screw-down
holes in the back legs of the base (see Figure 1). If you are installing the appliance in a brick-
bottomed fireplace, mark the screw locations in a mortar joint between the bricks. Remove the
appliance, and drill holes at the marked locations using a 3/16” masonry drill bit. Replace the
appliance, and attach it to the fireplace floor using the masonry screws.
5. For this appliance to function properly, the burner / base must be stable and level. If the floor
of your fireplace is uneven or out of level, you must shim under the front grate legs or the rear
support of the burner / base. Shim only with metal washers or other non-flammable objects.
6. Place the back log on the shelf at the rear of the appliance (see Figure 4). Make sure it is
centered left to right and that it sits so that the front part of the log is behind the front edge of
the metal part it sits on. Next set the front log in place (see Figure 5). The cavity of the log fits
over the fuel canister tray. The metal plate faces the rear of the appliance, and the log rests on
the grate. Check to see that the log is centered by opening the fuel canister door and looking
into the fuel canister cavity. The canister tray should be centered in the opening with the gap
between the canister tray and the log wall on the left (Figure 6) is equal to the gap on the right
(Figure 7). Also, push the log as far back as possible. Then place the left and right small logs
on top of the front and rear logs (see Figure 8). Ensure that when the door on the front log is
opened and you look down the front edge, that the canister tray is touching the inside wall of
the front log and the back edge of the canister tray has a gap between it and the inside wall of
the front log (see Figure 9). Make sure that the screws protruding from the metal plate are not
resting on the back edge of the tray.
7. Make sure the charred area on left small log faces the inside of the log set. The pins are on
the small logs and the holes are in the front and rear logs. If the back log is too far back or too
far to the front, move it so that the pins fit properly. This will ensure that the logs are placed
properly. NOTE: When the log pile is properly positioned, the flames should be centered in the
log pile and should not come into contact with any of the logs. If there is contact, extinguish
the appliance using the built in snuffer device, allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes, and
reposition the log pile so that the flames are centered.
8. Next step is to install the battery into the igniter. The igniter is on the left side of the appliance
towards the front just under the front log (see Figure 1). The button and front cover of the
igniter twists off (see Figure 1). Twist the front off, install the battery and twist the front back on.
Push the button and you should hear the sparker creating the sparks. If you do not hear or see
the sparks, you either have a dead battery or you did not install the battery properly. If after
remedying both issues the sparker still does not create a spark, contact the installer, the store
where you purchased the product or Duraflame, Inc.
