turned off using the wall switch. This wall switch can be run up to 100’ from the unit without continuity issues
related to ignition.

FIREPLACE MEDIA
Every Flare fireplace can be set up with approved glass, stone, or wood media. Quantities are determined by
the size of the fireplace and type of media chosen within that fireplace (Click Here For Media Calculation
Guide). Mixing of media types (i.e., glass and stones together) is acceptable if the quantities are adjusted to
prevent overwhelming the burner and gas flow. To achieve a balance between the ideal appearance and
operation the following guidelines have been set to create an optimized presentation. Stepping outside of these
recommendations may lead to excess sooting, uneven gas flow, and degraded flame presentation.
IMPORTANT FOR ALL MEDIA TYPES
-Maintain a 1” clearance on all sides of the pilot cover to prevent continuity issues with ignition.
-Avoid installing media in quantities that exceed the recommendations on the media calculation guide.
-Do not use media to block or cover burner ports.
-Keep all media within the fireplace burner tray.
-Do not place media between inner glass and external safety barrier.

All glass media used must be no smaller than ¼” to prevent clogging burner ports. Please also only use a thin
single layer of glass when covering your burner tray, making sure to maintain the 1” clearance to all sides of
your pilot cover. Do not place glass media outside of your fireplace burner tray or between the safety barriers.
