DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Gel fuelled fireplace inserts are an environmentally friendly solution to a real fire without the need for a
wood or gas supply. There is no direct venting required with gel fuel inserts, just like an electric insert.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Follow assembly instructions provided in this manual
The fireplace mantle that the Active Flame gel fuel insert is to be place into MUST be placed on a
stable, heat-resistant, and non-flammable foundation
Please remove all packaging and wrapping material before use
Ensure the room containing the fireplace has adequate ventilation overall
STARTING UP
Place Environment Canada approved, 369g gel fuel canisters (not included) into the fireplace as shown
later in the manual. Then light
according to the gel fuel’s instructions. This is usually done with a long
match or barbeque lighter. Do not put dead matches inside the gel fuel can, the flame will light slowly
and spread across the surface of the gel.
Spilled gel must be removed with an absorbent tissue and cleaned with water to prevent ignition
outside the burner reservoir. Consult the gel fuel label for clean up instructions.
In case the flame does not ignite, please repeat the ignition process until the flame burns steadily. Fuel
will burn low at first. Please allow 15 minutes to reach the optimum temperature and flame height.
CAUTION:
Risk of Fire:
There is always a risk of fire when using an exposed flame. Keep insert 3 Feet away from
flammable materials and 25 feet away from flammable liquids or gel fuel canisters that you are storing.
Spilled gel may lead to stains on parquet flooring.
Unused fuel must be kept a safe distance (min. 1m/40 inch) from the fireplace insert.
Do not place fuel lit or unlit in front of the fireplace insert.
EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME
CAUTION: Never Extinguish the Flame with Water
Always use the provided fire extinguishing mechanism.
If you wish to extinguish the flame before the fuel has completely burned out, please use the extinguishing
mechanism to fully close the opening of the fuel can and wait until the flame is extinguished. Wait
approximately 15 minutes until the canister has reached room temperature.
In an emergency situation, use a fire extinguisher to extinguish flames.
