VIII. 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 10).
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 11). 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 X) or let the flame die down.
IX. 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.
