VII. INSTALLING THE FUEL CANISTER
NOTE: Use only 1 liter duraflame
®
illuma-fuel
®
bio-ethanol canisters with this appliance. The
canisters are recyclable but NOT refillable.
1. Open the door on the top of the front log of the log pile (see Figure 14).
2. Remove the child resistant screw cap from a canister of illuma-fuel (by pushing down on it and
twisting at the same time) to expose the foil seal covering the opening of the canister. DO NOT
REMOVE THE FOIL SEAL.
3. Invert the canister and position it so that the left end fits under the bracket at the left end of
the canister tray (see Figure 15). Lower the canister so that the neck is aligned with the piercer
hole in the tray at the bottom of the fuel canister compartment. Push down firmly on the
canister until the piercer punctures the foil seal and the canister is seated firmly on the tray. To
assist the flow of illuma-fuel from the canister, wiggle the canister back and forth slightly on
the piercer. You might hear a soft gurgling noise as the fuel from the canister begins to fill the
burner—this is normal.
4. After the canister has been installed, leave it in place and close the door of the front log. The
appliance is now ready for use. At this point the canister still contains fuel and should not be
removed until the canister is completely empty. The canister automatically feeds more fuel into
the burner after the fuel is ignited and starts burning. This continues until all the fuel is used
from the canister. The burner will continue to burn for a while after the canister is empty. At
some point the flame will move to the right side of the burner to indicate that the fuel is about
to run out. You can refuel the appliance at this time (see Section IX) or let the flame die down.
VIII. OPERATION
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire may result, causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
NOTE: During initial operation of the new appliance, the logs may emit a slight odor. This
is normal, and the odor will dissipate after a few hours. Open a window or the fireplace
damper to vent the odor, if you find it unpleasant. This will not occur in subsequent use.
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 16) 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 17) 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 flow 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.
