WARNING:
In a house of typical construction, that is, one that is not of unusually tight
construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals against air infiltration, an
adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation is provided through
infiltration. However, if the unvented decorative appliance is used in a small room
where less than 200 cubic feet (5,7 m³) of air space is provided for each 1000 Btu
per hour of unvented decorative appliance rating (considering the maximum
burner adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept open or a
window to the outside should be opened at least 1 inch (2,4 cm) to guard against
potential build-up of indoor air pollution. Do not use the unvented decorative
appliance in a bathroom, a room(s) where sleeping accommodation is provided
or any other small room(s).
MINIMUM ROOM SIZE 60m3

TROUBLESHOOTING AND OPERATIONAL TIPS
•The first fill will take longer as the material inside the Fuel Tank will absorb the fuel. Subsequent
filling should be quicker. Take care to not fill the Combustion Chamber at a faster rate than
what the material inside can absorb the fuel.
•If the fire does not extinguish the first time by closing the Sliding Lid follow these steps and
repeat if necessary.
oCheck that the surface below the Sliding Lid is clean and free from obstruction.
oUsing the Sliding Lid Handle, apply downward force and in one quick motion move
the Sliding Lid towards the closed position. If the flame is still visible repeat this step as
a double motion still applying strong downward force in quick succession.
•Never blow on the flame whilst the Sliding Lid is in an open position.
•If after some time you find the Sliding Lid has become ‘sticky’ when attempting to move it
then remove the Sliding Lid from its housing and rub the underside using the green side of a
Scotch Bright scouring pad. Take care to only scrub in the direction of the brushing lines of the
stainless steel.
•Make sure you keep your Combustion Chamber clean especially the surface that the Sliding
Lid slides on and ensure that any excess fuel on the surface of the Combustion Chamber is
wiped off before use.
•MAKE SURE THAT ALL PARTS HAVE COOLED OFF COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING:
oTo clean dust, wipe with a dry cloth or sponge.
oTo clean stainless steel parts, use bioethanol or Acetone.
oMake sure the Sliding Lid for the Combustion Chamber slides correctly and fully after
cleaning and that any excess cleaning product has been wiped off completely.

PROCEDURE IF BURNER IS OVERFILLED:
In case of accidental overfilling of the Fuel Tank, follow these steps:
•NEVER ignite the Combustion Chamber if it is filled past the "MAX " filling line shown above
Remove the Combustion Chamber from the Chimenea, using the lifting Handles.
•Empty the excess fuel into a suitable container.
•Wipe off all excess fuel that may have dripped on the outside of the Combustion Chamber
during emptying and allow any residual fuel to evaporate. Leave for 1 hour.
•Place the Combustion Chamber back into Chimenea.
•Ignite the Combustion Chamber only once all residual fuel outside the Combustion Chamber
has completely evaporated and the container used to fill it has been sealed and moved to a
safe distance from the Combustion Chamber.

IGNITING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Once all spilled or residual fuel has been wiped clean, and all other forms of fuel have
been sealed and moved to a safe distance from the Combustion Chamber, and the
Combustion Chamber has been placed back inside the Chimenea as indicated above, it
is safe to consider igniting the Combustion Chamber.
Using a long arm fire lighter and standing at a safe distance from the Combustion
Chamber carefully introduce a flame as indicated above to ignite the Combustion
Chamber. Always make sure there is a Class ABE fire extinguisher close at hand when
igniting the Combustion Chamber.

REGULATING AND EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME
To regulate the flame, insert the tips of the Sliding Lid Handle into the holes of the Sliding
Lid of the Combustion Chamber and slide backwards or forwards to regulate the flame
size.
To extinguish the flame, insert the tips of the Sliding Lid Handle into the holes of the Sliding
Lid of the Combustion Chamber and slide all the way forward until the flame is
extinguished. Should the flame not extinguish with the first try please repeat until
extinguished. It should be a swift action coupled with downward pressure.
