Assembly & Installation
WALL MOUNTED FIREPLACE ASSEMBLY:
For safety purposes, we recommend a professional contractor to mount all wall-mounted fireplaces.
Two or more people are recommended to install a wall-mounted fireplace. Wall mounted fireplaces are to be mounted
only on a solid wall that can sustain the weight of the fireplace. The mounting wall is to be constructed from
non-flammable materials.
Wall Mounted Fireplace Assembly Step:
1. Remove all parts from shipping carton (do not discard shipping material until the item is fully assembled).
2. Locate the mounting bracket(s).
3. - Use a stud finder to locate the studs in your wall. Place the top bracket to make your marks after the mount is
leveled and secure the mounting bracket to the studs.
- If studs could not be located and you have a hollow wall, we always recommend using butterfly anchors
(maybe purchased from any hardware store).
- If your wall is not hollow, use the drywall anchors to mount the brackets.
4. Measure the distance between the top holes and the bottom holes in back of the fireplace.
5. Mount the bottom brackets based on the distance between the top and bottom holes in the back of the
fireplace.
6. Drill a hole into the wall for the bottom bracket then put the drywall anchor into the hole.
7. Place bottom bracket over the anchor in the wall and screw through the bracket into the anchors.
8. Have 1 person hold the fireplace over the mounted brackets while the 2nd person inserts the screws and
washers through the holes into the brackets.
9. Make sure the wall fireplace is mounted with the topside up.
10. Make sure the fireplace is securely mounted to the wall before adding fuel.
Starting Up:
- Fill the reservoir containers (ethanol burner) with Moda Flame ethanol fireplace fuel only, up to the maximum
marking (2/3rd) of each burner. Then light with an extended candle lighter (not included with fireplaces or fuel).
- The flame will light slowly at first, please a allow 15 minutes to reach the optimum temperature and flame height.
- Spilled ethanol fireplace fuel must be wiped with an absorbent tissue prior to lighting
CAUTION: Spilled fuel may lead to matt stains on parquet flooring.
ATTENTION: Moda Flame ethanol fireplace fuel should be stored at room temperature to facilitate its ignition.
CAUTION:
- Fuel must be kept in safe distance (min. 40 inch) of the fireplace.
- Do not place fuel in front or around the fireplace at any point.
- Always keep unused fuel sealed.
- In case the flame does not ignite, please repeat the ignition process until the flame burns steadily.
- Never light the fireplace with a standard lighter or match.
- Keep face and other body parts away from burner at all times especially during ignition and operation.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Refill:
-CAUTION: Never pour fuel into the burning flame!
-CAUTION: Allow the burner to cool down for at least 15 minutes before refilling. To refill, follow instruction below.
Extinguish:
CAUTION: Never extinguish the flame with water or other liquid products!
- Let the ethanol fireplace fuel burn out completely if possible. This prevents left over fuel in the ethanol burner
reservoir to evaporate, as it is an alcohol-based product.
- If you wish to extinguish the flame before the fuel has completely burned out, please use the damper tool or fire
killer to fully close the opening of the burner and wait until the flame is extinguished. Wait approximately 30
minutes until the burner has reached room temperature. Only then dispose of the remaining fuel.
- In case the flame is not extinguished immediately. Please close the cover and allow approximately 15 minutes to
allow the flame to cool down. Repeat the above instruction until the flame is fully extinguished.
Maintenance/Care Instructions:
- The fireplace and reservoirs must be cleaned regularly. Use warm water and soap.
- Burn marks can be best removed with a soft cloth, lukewarm water and soap. We recommend cleaning stainless
steel items regularly to prevent contamination.
- Do not pour water into the opening of the burner insert at any point, as the ceramic wool inside will absorb the
liquid.
- Never use chemicals, steel wool or scrubbing sponges. Moda Flame will not be held responsible for physical
damage or and/or misuse of the fireplace.
Safety instruction:
- Ethanol fireplaces use oxygen from the room where it is operated. The rooms should be well ventilated with
enough oxygen and fresh air supplied (i.e. slightly open windows).
- The room where the fireplace is operated should not be smaller than 225 sq. ft. with an average ceiling height of 8
ft.
- It is not recommended to use more than one fireplace at a time in one room.
Never leave an open fire unattended at any time!
CAUTION:
- Do not touch the fireplace while burning. Allow at least 30 minutes to cool down completely.
- Never pour fuel on to an open flame or into the burner reservoir unless it has cooled down for at least 15 minutes
after use.
- The fireplace is not suitable for heating or cooking purposes.
- Keep fuel containers closed tightly.
- Keep fuel away from children and animals.
- The burning reservoir and fuel must not be exposed to direct heat such as direct sunshine or heating products.
- Do not place any flammable material within 40 inches near the fireplace. A safety distance of at least 80 inches
should be kept from any window or curtain.

- If inserting into an already existing fireplace, all gas lines must be closed and removed by a certified plumber.
CAUTION:
- Do not smoke while handling the fuel.
- Avoid drafts in the room where the fireplace is operated.
- Drafts cause movements in the proximity of the fireplace as the flame will be fanned into different directions.
- Fill burner with caution and attention at all times.
- Liquid fuel next to the burner can cause unexpected flames. Do not refill burner again until they have completely
cooled down.
- Do not refill while burning as major injury might occur. Always follow the instructions on the Moda Flame fireplace
fuel bottle.
- Due to the heat of the fireplace children and animals should stay away during and 12 hours after use of the
fireplace.

- Remember to fill ethanol fireplace fuel to a maximum of 2/3 of each burner
Burner:
Each fireplace includes at least one burner and flame controller (damper tool) handle. Each burner varies in capacity,
flame size and duration. If the burner is adjustable, you may change the height and duration of the flame with the
stainless steel slider. Precautions should be taken when moving the burner, especially if there are flammable liquids
inside. The burner needs to be inspected for leaks prior to lighting.
