CAUTION
•Make sure you have read and understood this Manual before using this product.
•Do not overfill or spill fuel when refilling.
•If fuel is spilled, wipe with a dry cloth and allow the rest to evaporate before introducing
a flame to the Burner.
•If the Burner is accidentally overfilled, follow the steps given in these next pages.
•To refill, wait until the Burner is at the room temperature after the flame has been
turned off. NOTE: the flame may not be visible to the naked eye in daylight and must be cool before filling.
•Never refill over or near an open flame.
•Use the supplied funnel or pump to refill.
•Remove all plastic & packaging before using the Burner.

Trouble shooting and operating tips:
•The hooks on the back of the Sliding Lid Handle can be used to carry the Slimline Burner
by hooking it around the slotted openings in the Vent Plate as shown in the image
below.
•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 Burner 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 plate is clean and free from
obstruction.
oApply strong downward force and in one quick motion move the sliding plate
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 your Slimline Burner does not ignite after it has been closed overnight, you will need to
refill the Burner to a full level to enable the Burner to be relit.
•VERY IMPORTANT: Take special care when adding fuel to the Slimline Burner, always
close the Sliding Lid for a few minutes before adding fuel to make sure there is no visible
flame in the Burner Vent.
•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 Burner clean especially the surface that the Sliding Lid slides on
and ensure that any excess fuel on the surface of the Burner is wiped off before use.

•Slider - qty 1 (2 of for 1400 Burner)

MAKE SURE THE FIREPLACE HAS COOLED OFF COMPLETELY BEFORE CLEANING:
To clean dust, wipe with a dry cloth or sponge.
To clean stainless steel parts, use bio-ethanol or stainless steel cleaning products.
Make sure the Sliding Lid for the Slimline Burner slides correctly and fully after cleaning and
that any excess cleaning product has been wiped off completely.
KEEP HANDY A CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHER:
Class B fire extinguishers are used to put out fires that are caused by combustible liquids. Class B fire
extinguishers quell the flames by expelling a dry chemical powder or foam with a nitrogen propellant.
The specific chemical can vary depending on the make or model. Water will not extinguish this flame.
PROCEDURE IF BURNER IS OVERFILLED:
In case of accidental overfilling of the fuel tank, follow these steps:
•NEVER light the Slimline Burner if it is filled past the filling line by more than 15mm, shown
in the section of Filling the Slimline Burner.
•Remove the Slimline Burner from its housing, using the hooks on the back end of the
Sliding Lid Handle or rubber gloves.
•Empty the excess fuel into a container, suitable to hold the volume of the Burner.
•Wipe off all excess fuel that may have dripped on the outside of the Slimline Burner
during emptying and allow any residual fuel to evaporate. Leave for 1 hour.
•Place the Slimline Burner back into its housing.
•Ignite the Slimline Burner only once all residual fuel outside the Burner has completely
evaporated and the container used to fill the Burner has been sealed and moved to a
safe distance from the Burner.

accidents caused by fuel spillage. These Burners are not designed to be
relocated frequently;

•Not installed directly beside or near wallpaper, laminate, veneer or any surface
that has not been fire rated and considered combustible.
•A minimum of 1000mm radius to any combustible material.

1 - Filling the Slimline Burner
Fill the Slimline Burner Fuel Tank to the Fill Line until the fuel becomes visible at the bottom of
the Burner Vent. Fill using the Fuel Pump supplied or a funnel that fits in the centre hole of the
Vent Plate. DO NOT OVERFILL
Please wipe any spillage or excess fuel before proceeding to Step 2.
2 - Igniting the Slimline Burner
Seal the fuel canister used to fill the Burner and move to a safe distance away from the
Burner. While standing at arm's length away from the Burner, use a long arm lighter as per the
image above to introduce a flame to the openings in the Vent Plate.

10
3 - Adjusting the Flame Size
The flame intensity is adjusted by inserting the Sliding Lid Handle’s tip into the corresponding
holes in the Top Plate Sliding Lid as indicated above. Note the flame intensity takes a few
minutes to change after an adjustment has been made.
4 - Extinguishing the Flame
Using the Sliding Lid Handle, pull the Sliding Lid to the front / closed position. Should the flame
not extinguish with the first try please repeat until extinguished. It should be a swift action
coupled with downward pressure.
