DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Gel fuelled fireplace appliances are an environmentally friendly solution to a real fire without the
need for a wood or gas supply. There is no direct venting required with a gel fuel appliance, but
a constant inflow of fresh air is required.
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
−Please get yourself and the members of your family familiarized with the Warning section of this
manual
−Ensure the room selected for this appliance is not small (more than 165 sq ft) and has adequate
ventilation
−Follow assembly and installation instructions provided in this manual
−Remove all packaging and wrapping material before use
−Study well the labels on the gel fuel cans before use
STARTING UP THE FLAME
−After the appliance has been assembled and installed - place Environment Canada approved,
369g gel fuel canisters (not included) into the unit as shown later in the manual. Then light
according to the gel fuel’s instructions. This is usually done with a long match or barbeque
lighter. Do not put dead matches inside the gel fuel can. The flame will light slowly and spread
across the surface of the gel.
−Spilled gel must be removed with an absorbent tissue and cleaned with water to prevent ignition
outside the burner. Consult the gel fuel label for clean up instructions.
−In case the flame does not ignite, please repeat the ignition process until the flame burns
steadily. Fuel will burn low at first. Please allow 15 minutes to reach the optimum temperature
and flame height.
EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME
CAUTION: Never Extinguish the Flame with Water
Always use the provided fire extinguishing mechanism – the integrated snuffer with a handle
extending on the right hand side of the appliance.
If you wish to extinguish the flame before the fuel has completely burned out, please use the
extinguishing mechanism to fully close the opening of the fuel can and wait until the flame is
extinguished. Wait approximately 15 minutes until the canister has reached room temperature
before relighting or removing.
In an emergency situation, use a Class B fire extinguisher located in close proximity to the
unvented decorative appliance.

heavy insulation and tight seals against air infiltration, an adequate supply of air for
combustion and ventilation is provided through infiltration. The unvented decorative
appliance should not be used in a small room where less than 5.7 m cube (200 feet cube) of
air space is provided for each 1’000 Btu per hour of the unit. Do not use this unit in a
bathroom, a room where sleeping accommodation is provided or any other small room
−It is NOT recommended to use more than one fireplace insert at a time in one room.
−Never leave an open fire unattended at any time!
−Replace empty ethanol gel cans only when the unit has been shut off for a reasonable
amount of time (at least for 15 minutes).
−Do not touch hot surfaces surrounding the flames
−Please get yourself and the members of your family familiarized with the Warning section of
this manual
−Never pour fuel into an open flame or hot canister.
−This appliance should not be used as a main source of heat, it is decorative.
−Keep fuel containers closed tightly.
−Keep fuel away from children and animals.
−The burning canister must not be exposed to direct heat such as direct sunshine or central
heating.

safety distance of at least 2 meters/80 inches should be kept from any window or curtain.
−CAUTION: Do not smoke while handling the fuel.
−Avoid draft in the room where the fireplace is operated.
−Avoid draft causing movements in the proximity of the fireplace insert as these might fan the
flame.

children and animals away during use and for 30 minutes after use of the fireplace. Do not
store any flammable goods close to the fireplace.
