First-Time Use Instructions
Your fire fountain is for decorative purposes only and not suitable for continuous operation.
Do not use the Fire to heat or boil water or as a cooking appliance. Do not put wood, charcoal, paper or other
combustible objects into the Fire.
1. PLACEMENT OF FIRE FOUNTAIN: This FIRE FOUNTAIN will use oxygen from the air inside the room where it is
operated. The rooms should be well ventilated with enough oxygen and fresh air being supplied (i.e. slightly open
windows if room is not vented). When ventilated, the room where the fireplace is operated in should not be
smaller than 215sq.ft. (to calculate the square footage of a room multiply the width x length. For example, If the
room is 15’ wide x 16’ long then 15’ x 16’ =240 sq.ft.) Place on a safe, level, stable, non-flammable area and at
least 12” from glass windows or mirrors and at least 60” from drapery.
2. OPERATION: Check that the burner’s slider/dampener is free from obstruction and operating smoothly (closing
and opening fully).
3. FUEL: Read Fuel Bottle label before use. Use only approved ethanol fuel. We recommend “Nu-Flame Bio-Ethanol
Fuel”. USE EXTREME CAUTION! - DANGER FLAMMABLE/IRRITANT
Ethanol Fuel is a Class 3 flammable liquid and
presents real danger when not used in direct compliance with all Instructions and safety warnings. KEEP FUEL
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS
4. POURING: Slowly pour fuel into clean burner that is COOL TO THE TOUCH. Use a funnel to fill linear burners. Fill
burner no more than 2/3 full. DO NOT overfill or allow fuel to touch anything other than the inside of the inner
burner. DO NOT POUR FUEL INTO OUTER BURNER; FUEL MUST BE POURED ONLY INTO THE INNER BURNER BOX
WITH CUTOUT. Should fuel spill or be poured into the outer burner remove the inner burner box and wipe dry of
any fuel. Clean any spills with water before lighting. Replace cap on bottle and place bottle 5 feet or more away
from the fireplace before lighting. Store fuel bottles in cool dry space. Do not store in direct sunlight or allow fuel
to become heated. CAUTION:
Spilled alcohol may mar or stain flooring or furniture.
5. LIGHTING: Use long match or extended lighter to light fuel. CAUTION: The flame starts out slowly. Please allow 15
minutes to reach the optimum temperature and flame height. DO NOT ASSUME THE FUEL DID NOT IGNITE.
6. BURNING: DO NOT MOVE OR TOUCH FIRE FOUNTAIN WHEN LIT OR HEAT IS PRESENT. UNIT WILL BE VERY HOT. It
is recommended that the fuel in the burner or burner cup be burned completely. NEVER
LEAVE A BURNING OR
HOT FIRE FOUNTAIN UNATTENDED. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS; THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR
CHILDREN. NEVER ALLOW THEM TO LIGHT OR EXTINGUISH A FLAME.
7. EXTINGUISHING: To extinguish the flame, only use the slider/dampener tool to close the burner. Using the tool,
push the sliding dampener over the burner opening. Making certain to completely cover the opening. DO NOT
BLOW OUT FLAME or attempt to extinguish with water. Snuff for 20 seconds or longer. DO NOT ASSUME FLAME IS
OUT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE IT.
