NOTE: Before burning the appliance for the first time, install a canister of duraflame

illuma-fuel

, let the fuel sit in the burner for five minutes, and check to ensure there aren’t
any leaks below and around the front log or below the burner (see Figure 18).
1. Use the handle (located at the front of the appliance beneath the grate – Figure 12) to slide the
snuffer device to the rear of the burner. Be sure that the cover is slid back far enough to fully
expose the burner slot (see Figure 13) and the air slots behind the burner.
2. Install a canister.
3. Wait a few minutes then push the igniter button located at the front left of the burner / base.
The burner should light. If it does not, hold down the igniter button until it does. You may
need to wait a minute or so to allow the duraflame illuma-fuel to drain into the burner reservoir.
Initially, the flames might be low with a bluish hue. The flames should grow in height and
become yellow and orange as the fuel heats up. Make sure that your head and face are
not above the appliance when you are lighting it. NOTE: If the fireplace is very cold or the
temperature of the fuel is very low, the fuel may not ignite by using the igniter. If this occurs,
please use a long match or long butane lighter to ignite the fuel.
