First-Time Use Instructions
Your Nu-Flame Fireplace is for decorative purposes only and not suitable for continuous operation.
Do not use the Fire to heat or boil water or as a cooking appliance. Do not put wood, charcoal, paper or other
combustible objects into the Fire.
1.
PLACEMENT OF NU-FLAME FIREPLACE: This fireplace will use oxygen from the air inside the room where it is
operated. The rooms should be well ventilated with enough oxygen and fresh air being supplied (i.e. slightly open
windows if room is not vented). When ventilated, the room where the fireplace is operated in should not be
smaller than 215sq.ft. (to calculate the square footage of a room multiply the width x length. For example, If the
room is 15’ wide x 16’ long then 15’ x 16’ =240 sq.ft.) Freestanding and tabletop units must be placed on a safe,
level, stable, non-flammable area and 12” from glass windows or mirrors. Wall mounted fireplaces must be
installed on a flat, solid, sturdy wall with non-flammable wall covering in accordance with the enclosed
instructions and at least 60” from drapery.
2.
OPERATION: Check that the burner’s slider/dampener is free from obstruction and operating smoothly (closing
and opening fully). This feature is not available on units with cup burners.
3.
FUEL: Read Fuel Bottle label before use. Use only approved ethanol fuel. We recommend “Nu-Flame Bio-Ethanol
Fuel”. USE EXTREME CAUTION! - DANGER FLAMMABLE/IRRITANT Ethanol Fuel is a Class 3 flammable liquid and
presents real danger when not used in direct compliance with all Instructions and safety warnings. KEEP FUEL
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS
4.
POURING: Slowly pour fuel into clean burner or burner cup that is COOL TO THE TOUCH. Use a funnel to fill linear
burners. Fill burner or cup no more than 2/3 full. Don’t overfill or allow fuel to touch anything other than the
inside of the burner or cup. Clean any spills with water before lighting. Replace cap on bottle and place bottle 5
feet or more away from the fireplace before lighting. Store fuel bottles in cool dry space. Do not store in direct
sunlight or allow fuel to become heated. CAUTION: Spilled alcohol may mar or stain flooring or furniture.
5.
LIGHTING: Use long match or extended lighter to light fuel. CAUTION: The flame starts out slowly. Please allow 15
minutes to reach the optimum temperature and flame height. DO NOT ASSUME THE FUEL DID NOT IGNITE.
6.
BURNING: DO NOT MOVE OR TOUCH FIREPLACE WHEN LIT OR HEAT IS PRESENT. UNIT WILL BE VERY HOT. It is
recommended that the fuel in the burner or burner cup be burned completely. NEVER LEAVE A BURNING OR HOT
FIREPLACE UNATTENDED. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS; THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN.
NEVER ALLOW THEM TO LIGHT OR EXTINGUISH A FLAME.
7.
EXTINGUISHING: To extinguish the flame, only use the snuffer tool that came with your Nu-Flame fireplace or use
the slider/dampener tool to close the burner. DO NOT BLOW OUT FLAME or attempt to extinguish with water.
Snuff for 20 seconds or longer. DO NOT ASSUME FLAME IS OUT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE IT.
