• If you install a (separate) device in which to place the gas cylinder, be
sure that the cylinder is well ventilated. Propane is heavier than air, and
an accumulation of this gas can have dangerous consequences. If you
have any questions about the instructions in this manual, please contact
your sales outlet.
• It is dangerous and illegal to use this unit in an enclosed space! The unit has
been developed for outdoor use.

1. WARNING
• Read the instructions carefully before using the gas outdoor fireplace
(Fuora) and keep the instructions for future reference.
• This product and, if applicable, the gas cylinder should be installed
in accordance with the instructions in this manual, as well as with all
applicable national and/or local regulations.
• The distance from flammable materials to the fireplace should be at
least 1.5 metres.
• Never leave the fire unattended.
• Do not move the gas outdoor fireplace (Fuora) when it is hot or in
operation.
• Keep children out of reach of the product while it is in use and until it
has completely cooled down.
• Caution! Touching the hot parts can cause blisters! A safety device has

• Do not block the air flow in the direction of the burner and/or the injector.
• Do not interfere with the air flow in the direction of the gas cylinder
housing.

Caution: If you need assistance when installing the fireplace, please
contact your dealer.
2.1 PROPANE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder (left-handed thread)
(the maximum allowable filling amount is 10.5 kg). To do so, use suitable
(adjustable) pliers. It is not enough to tighten it by hand; This could allow
a leak to occur. Replace the gas cylinder only in well-ventilated areas and
not near candles, cigarettes or other flammable sources.
2. Caution: Before connecting the pressure regulator, always ensure that
the rubber gasket is present and undamaged. If not, the device must not
be used until the gasket is replaced.
3. Make sure that the gas cylinder is always standing upright. The gas hose
must not come into contact with sharp objects or edges which could
damage the inner tube. Be sure that the gas hose does not come into
contact with hot parts of the burner.
4. Check all of the connections for leaks. To do so, moisten all of the gas
connections with soapy water or use a gas leak detection spray. If bubbles
arise in the suds or the gas leak detection spray, there is a leak.
5. Distribute the supplied ca. 0.9 kg (8-16 mm) lava stones in the form of a
small hill (Fig.1b) on the burner bed. Be sure that no small pieces of stone
enter the burner. Also be sure that no stones are lying on the thermal
element. The fireplace is now ready for use.
6. Now, the two adjustable feet on the bottom of the gas fireplace have to be
adjusted in order to ensure a secure footing.
Warning
Check the gas hose at least once a month as well as each time you change
the gas cylinder. If the hose shows signs of cracks or other damage, it
should be replaced by a tube of the same length and quality.

2. Check that the gas is connected correctly to the gas cylinder and open
the cylinder. Secure the gas cylinder with the rubber mounting piece.
3. The gas outdoor fireplace (Fuora) is operated with the gas regulator
located behind the fireplace door.
4. In order for the gas to be able to flow to the burner, the tip-protection
(Fig. 3) has to be aligned horizontally.
WARNING: Follow all the instructions (provided in the manual) regarding
gas leak detection before operating the unit. Never try to loosen the gas
fitting when the unit is in use.
WARNING: Do not use or store petrol or other flammable vapours or liquids
near this or other units.

5.1 SWITCHING THE UNIT ON
1. Turn the ignition knob on the gas control panel (Fig. 4) as far to the right
as possible. Push in the ignition knob. Then, turn it to the left, keeping it
pushed in until you hear a "click" (Fig. 5). This "click" is the ignition of
the pilot light. If necessary, repeat this process 3-5 times until the pilot
light is burning.
2. Once the pilot light is lit, continue holding in the ignition knob for another
10 seconds. Then release the ignition knob.
3. If the pilot light goes out, repeat steps 1 and 2 until the pilot light starts
burning.
Caution: If a new gas cylinder is installed or the fireplace has not been
used for a while, you first have to release the air from the gas hose. This
may take a while before the pilot light ignites.
5.2 BURNER FLAME
After the pilot light starts burning, the ignition knob (Fig. 6) has to be turned
to the left. Now the main burner (Fig 1) is supplied with gas.
5.3 ADJUSTING THE FLAME HEIGHT
1. The desired height of the gas flame can be adjusted by turning the flame
height controller (Fig. 7) to the right or left.
2. For a lower gas flame, turn the knob clockwise to the right (Fig. 8).
3. For a higher gas flame, turn the knob clockwise to the left (Fig. 7).
5.4 SWITCHING THE UNIT OFF
1. By turning the ignition knob to the right again (Fig. 4), you will shut off the gas
supply and the fire will go out. Then, the gas cylinder has to be closed.
5.5 WARNING – IF YOU SMELL GAS
Never ignite the unit if you smell gas. If the unit is on when you smell gas, you
have to interrupt the gas supply (close the gas cylinder or the gas valve).
Then, check all of the connections for leaks. To do so, moisten all of the gas
connections with soapy water or use a gas leak detection spray. If bubbles arise
in the suds or the gas leak detection spray, there is a leak.
You can only use the unit again after all the leaks have been sealed. Please
consult your dealer, if necessary.

To take off the glass casing, the four cotter pins must be removed from the
steel lugs (Fig. 11).
Then the glass can be carefully lifted up (Fig. 12).
