At the first start, points 1-5 are followed. For later normal use, points 2-5 are followed. When repositioning, or
making other changes in the fireplace’s surroundings, points 1-5 are to be followed.

Note! Do not add fuel if you do not intend to start the fireplace immediately; see Section 4.2.2 Refilling with
fuel below.

1. See that the assembly and installation are done according to the instructions in Section 3.
2. Check that the regulator lid lies closely against the burner’s surface and slides easily when the regulator

rod moves it to its respective stop. When the lid is in the closed position, it should cover the entire burner
opening.

3. Open the regulator lid completely with the regulator rod. Add fuel according to the instruction 4.2.2

Refilling with fuel below. If the fireplace is recently used, allow it to cool down for at least 15 minutes.

Warning! Fuel must never be added in a burning fireplace!
4. Check that there is no spilled fuel on or outside the fireplace. Light the fireplace by holding a lighter with

extended tip next to the burner strainer. See that no inflammable material is present within 1 metre. The
fireplace will start immediately, and in a short time it will produce beautiful dynamic yellow flames. If
necessary, the flames’ effect is regulated steplessly with the regulator rod.

Note! At cold start, if fuel has been left long in the fireplace, a safety function prevents it from lighting

immediately. In such a case the fireplace can be started by holding the lighter lit for about 10 seconds
while its flame barely touches the burner strainer. If the fireplace does not start, add new fuel according to
Section 4.2.2, keeping in mind that the burner in this case will absorb less than 1,8 liters.

Warning! This procedure may increase the wear on the burner and thus reduce its lifetime. Vauni

recommends that tanking be done not long before the fireplace is used.

5. If the fireplace goes out immediately after lighting – repeat the lighting procedure in point 4 above.
Note 1! On the first occasions of firing, some smell may arise – this is quite normal. The smell decreases
gradually after a few firings.

Note 2! A clicking sound may occur during firing, at the start or when the fuel level is low, and the flames are
smaller. This is quite normal.

4.2 Fuel

The Edge/Shadow is optimized for, and must only be used with, liquid denatured ethanol – whose burning
produces only carbon dioxide and water vapour, the same components as in the air we breathe out.

Warning! The fuel must not be preheated.

4.2.1 Recommended fuel quality

For Vauni Edge/Shadow we recommend Vauni ECOFLAME which is the market’s most optimal bio-ethanol
fuel for use in chimney-free fireplaces and inserts. This product gives natural, smoke- and soot-free flames
with a neutral aroma, and can be ordered at www.vauni.com. In cases where ECOFLAME is not available,
only liquid denatured ethanol (bio-ethanol) must be used, which is sold under various trade names at
