•CUSTOMS INSTALLATION: ICON FIRES IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURIES OR DAMAGES
SUSTAINED BY CUSTOM MADE OR PRIVATELY COMISSIONED FIREBOXES. ICON FIRES
RECOMMENDS USING THE BURNERS IN THE FIREBOXES MANUFACTURED BY ICON FIRES ONLY.
ANY ALTERATIONS TO THE ICON PRODUCT VOIDS ANY WARRANTY OR LIABILITY.
•WARNING: FILLING AND ALCOHOL FUELLED DEVICE WHILE LIT HAS CAUSED SEVERE BURNS
AND DEATHS. WHEN REFILLING FIRST CHECK THE FLAME IS EXTINGUESHED AND THAT THE
DEVICE IS COOL.
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 spilt onto the surface of the Firebox WIPE IT IMMEDIATELY AND LEAVE TO DRY BEFORE
LIGHTING THE BURNER.
•If fuel is spilled on the stainless steel Burner during filling, wipe with a dry cloth and allow the rest to
evaporate before lighting the Burner.
•If the Burner is accidentally overfilled, follow the steps in the Burner manual to rectify.
•To refill, wait until the Burner is at the room temperature after the flame has been turned off.

3
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 and use a decanter with a flame arrestor only.
•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. Not Applicable to Round Burner.
•The first fill will take longer and more fuel as the material inside the Fuel Tank will absorb
the fuel. Subsequent filling should be quicker with less fuel. Take care to not fill the burner
at a faster rate than what the material inside can absorb.
•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 pour a small
amount of fuel across the length of the Burner Vent with the supplied plastic bottle and
introduce the flame. This should then ignite the stagnant fuel inside the Fuel Tank. For
Round Burner simply add fuel to the tank and ignite.
•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. Not applicable to Round Burner.
•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.

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 bioethanol or Acetone.
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 ABE FIRE EXTINGUISHER:
Class ABE fire extinguishers are used to put out fires that are caused by combustible liquids. Class ABE 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 excess fuel into a container suitable to hold the volume of the Burner, kitchen sink
or toilet bowl.
•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 dispenser used to fill the Burner has been sealed and moved to a
safe distance from the Burner.
USE CORRECT FUEL : BIOETHANOL

the Burner Vent. Fill using the Fuel Pump supplied (where applicable) 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
Note: If fuel is left in the burner for a prolonged time or overnight, before next use, open the
Vent for 2 minutes and let it air before ignition, to let the fuel vapour clear, and only then light
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. If the Burner has fuel in the
reservoir but is not igniting, close the Sliding Lid for 5 minutes then open the Sliding Lid. Ensure
there are no flames visible within the burner vent opening, then pour a small amount of fuel
across the length of the Burner Vent with the supplied plastic bottle (where applicable) and
introduce the flame. This normally happens when the burner has been closed for a day or
more.

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. The Round Burner flame is adjusted
by placing either the large or small reducer ring on top of the burner.

11
4 - Extinguishing the Flame
Using the Sliding Lid Handle, push 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.

12
For the Round Burner simply place the closing lid on top of the burner making sure it fits into its
position.
