FRENQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
READ BEFORE USE
Q: Do I need a chimney or a vent to install a Paramount Gel Fuel Insert?
A: No. All Paramount Gel Fuel Inserts are ventless units that can be used in just about any room in your
home; with a fireplace mantel that can hold the insert stable, please ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated, and that the surface used is stable.
Q: How long will it take to assemble my Paramount insert?
A: After the parts are unpacked and ready to assemble, it should take an average of 10 minutes to install
the insert into a previously assembled mantel.
Q: How does a Gel Fuel insert work?
A: All Paramount gel fuel inserts are designed to burn Environment Canada approved 369g gel fuel
canisters, many retailers carry these products. Gel fuel is a non-toxic, clean burning gel that does not
generate any smoke, soot or leave
ash behind, which is why they are considered ‘ventless’. Use either 1
or 2 canisters positioned in the fireplace insert as shown in this manual. Read the gel fuel canister
instructions for use and safety before using.
Q: How long does a gel fuel canister burn?
A: Gel fuel canisters usually burn for between 2.5 to 3 hours long, depending on your room conditions,
just like a regular wood log. Consult the can for actual burn time. If you wish to create a fire for a shorter
period of time, simply extinguish the flame using the snuffer panel, wait 15-20 min for canister to cool
down and re-cap the can. Re-use any remaining gel fuel for your next fire.
Q: Where should I store my Gel Fuel?
A: Review the gel fuel instructions on the canister for storage information.
Q: Can I use my Paramount fireplace to heat my home?
A: Although an Paramount gel fuel insert is not designed to be used as a primary heating source, each
canister of gel fuel generates approximately 3,000 BTUs per hour when burning. This creates a
noticeable warming in a room up to 400 sq feet room.
Q: What do I do in case of a spill?
A: If you spill any gel fuel, consult the can for instruction for clean up.
