FIREPLACE OPERATION
ELECTRICAL AND POWER REQUIREMENTS
Screen Unit: 110V, 15A Outlet (Dedicated circuit is optional but recommended) or Directly wired. When using an outlet, make sure
the outlet is accessible in the event of servicing.
**110V, 15A additional power source needed if Optional RGB-LEDs are included in unit.
Double Glass: 110V, 15A Outlet (Dedicated circuit is optional but recommended) or Directly wired. When using an outlet, make
sure the outlet is accessible in the event of servicing.
**No additional power source needed for optional RGB-LEDs.
ON/OFF OPERATION
The ON Off operation on the Flare Fireplaces with a Honeywell valve is controlled by switching ON or Off power supply to the
fireplace plug or hotwire.
The Fireplace will attempt to start whenever electric power is supplied to it. The Fireplace power supply needs to be wired by
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
The electrician can provide the operator a switch to control the outlet the fireplace is connected to.
The use of the plug should only be done when access to the outlet is available even after installation is completed.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is professionally installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The Flare Fireplaces with a Honeywell is provided with a 110V plug that can be connected to a controlled outlet for
ON/OFF operation of the fireplace. Plug can also be removed to connect directly for hardwire operation.

MEDIA ARRANGEMENTS
Flare Fireplaces can be equipped with different media types. Follow the instructions below for information on how to
add and arrange media in your Fireplace:
●Do not place any type of media on the pilot or in front of the pilot. Keep 1” distance from the pilot to allow
correct operation of the pilot.
●Media can be put over the Flare burner. Avoid placing media over the main burner ports as it may disrupt
flame in case of a clogged port. Avoid placing driftwood arching over burner, instead place in front or behind.
●If using media that was not supplied by Flare Fireplace, make sure that the media is certified/suitable to be
used in direct vent gas fireplaces.
●Keep the pilot front cover view open to be able to view the pilot spark and flame from outside.
●Fireglass:
a. ¼” or ½” Fire Glass may be used.
b. When the fireplace viewing window is open, and media is placed, make sure Fire Glass does not fall
on the ceramic glass lower frame as that may cause breakage when putting back the ceramic glass.
c. Make sure pilot is clear of any Fire Glass particles.
d. Flare Fire Glass can be put safely into the firebox. Avoid overloading the burner with Fire Glass,
specifically over the main burner ports.
●Maintain minimum distance of ¼” from media to the fireplace glass panels.
●Use the manual for instructions on how to remove, replace, & arrange the fireplace glass media.
