User’s Manual & Safety Instructions
Assembling
Unpack the fireplace burner insert.
Check the content for completeness and any damages incurred in
transit.
Keep children and animals away from the packing.
Do not remove ceramic wool (white cloth) from
inside of burner.
Direction for Use
Step 1: Adjust the sliding lid to its widest opening. Fill the burner
with the ethanol, watch carefully till you reach under the level of the
“Max” line. Do not overfill or spill.

User’s Manual & Safety Instructions
CAUTION:
Please ensure your pebbles or logos are not covering the opening in
case of accidental spillage.
Any spilled ethanol must be immediately removed with an absorbent
tissue and cleaned with water to prevent ignition outside the burner
reservoir. Wait until spilled fuel is evaporated.
Fuel must be kept in safe distance (min. 1 m/40 inches) to the
fireplace. Do not place fuel in front of the fireplace.
Step 2: Use a long match or a long-end lighter to ignite. When
igniting, keep a safe distance at arm’s length.
CAUTION:
Fuel will burn low at first. Please allow 10-15 minutes to reach the
optimum temperature and flame height.
If the burner has a sliding cover, adjusting the slider on the burner will
adjust the flame. If the burner has a flap, over lapping the flame will
extinguish the fire.
Avoid drafts for long burning time as fuel will evaporate.

User’s Manual & Safety Instructions
Always maintain a safe distance of at least 1 meter (40 inches)
from the fireplace when the flame is in operation.
Extinguishing
CAUTION: Never extinguish the flame with water!
1. Let the fuel burn out completely if possible. This prevents
alcohol left in the burner and deflagration when reigniting.
2. If you wish to extinguish the fire before the fuel has
completely burned out. Please use the control tool to fully
close the sliding cover of the burner in a fast motion,
completely extinguish the flame.
1. In case the flame is not extinguished immediately. Repeat the
above instructions until the flame is fully extinguished.
2. Do not touch the fireplace while burning. Please allow at least
20 minutes to cool down before touching the fireplace after
flame is extinguished.
3. It is urgently recommended that you keep a Class B fire
extinguisher at hand close to the device in case of fire.
