Do not store the duraflame illuma-fuel canisters near the appliance. Store illuma-fuel tightly closed
in its original canister in a dry, cool place, out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources,
flammable objects and open fires, and out of the reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical
attention immediately. In case of contact with eyes, flush immediately with cool water for 15
minutes and seek medical attention. For contact with skin, rinse well with cool water. If irritation
develops, see your doctor.
Do not remove a duraflame illuma-fuel canister from the appliance until the canister is completely
empty.
WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A FUEL SPILL OR FUEL LEAK: DO NOT light the burner.
Extinguish any open flame near the spill. Wipe up the spill, and wait at least 5 minutes for the
residue to evaporate. In addition to the potential for fire, spilled duraflame illuma-fuel can damage
some surfaces like wood and leather. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Install this appliance in compliance with the laws of your local jurisdiction. This appliance shall not
be installed in a bedroom or bathroom, unless installed as a vented appliance. Do not install this
appliance in trailers, boats or vehicles.
If a gas line has been run to your fireplace, all gas connections must be disconnected by a
qualified service technician prior to installing this appliance.
The appliance must be set on a level surface in your fireplace or firebox.
This appliance has not been tested for use with glass doors. To reduce the risk of fire or injury, do
not install or use glass doors with this appliance. If the fireplace has glass doors, never operate
the appliance with the glass doors closed. Heat buildup within the fireplace could cause the glass
doors to break or burst, or cause the release of harmful combustion products into the living area.
If the fireplace has vents at the bottom, the vents must be opened before running the appliance.
This appliance is designed to be smokeless. If the logs ever begin to smoke, extinguish the
appliance (by pulling on the snuffer device handle underneath the front log of the appliance – see
Section IX. OPERATION), wait for the appliance to cool down for at least 30 minutes, and check
the positioning of the logs. Note: During initial operation, slight smoking might occur due to logs
curing and the burning off of manufacturing residues. This is a normal condition.
Do not use cleaning materials or agents such as furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar
products in the room where the appliance is located while the appliance is in use. If heated,
the vapors from these products can create a white powdery residue within the burner box or on
adjacent walls or furniture.
Do not operate this appliance where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored, or in a dusty
environment.
If water has entered the burner reservoir of the appliance, ensure that the water has been
emptied from the appliance before use. Water can dilute the duraflame illuma-fuel and affect the
performance of the appliance.
Do not operate this appliance if any log is broken or has a chip (dime-sized or larger). Do not use
the appliance if there is visible damage. If you see damage, contact the store where purchased or
Duraflame’s customer service. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Do not use your
appliance if it has been modified in any way.
Turn off the appliance and let it cool before servicing, or repairing it.
An open fire is always a potential hazard. You must have a Class B fire extinguisher near the
fireplace in case of fire.
