VII. INSTALLING THE FUEL CANISTER

NOTE: Use only 1 liter duraame

illuma-fuel

bio-ethanol canisters with this appliance. The

canisters are recyclable but NOT rellable.

1. Open the door on the left side of the appliance (see Figure 7).

2. Remove the child resistant screw cap from a canister of illuma-fuel (by pushing down on it and

twisting at the same time) to expose the foil seal covering the opening of the canister. DO NOT

REMOVE THE FOIL SEAL.

3. Invert the canister and position it so that the left end ts under the bracket at the back end of

the canister tray (see Figure 8). Lower the canister so that the neck is aligned with the piercer

hole in the tray at the bottom of the fuel canister compartment. Push down rmly on the

canister until the piercer punctures the foil seal and the canister is seated rmly on the tray. To

assist the ow of illuma-fuel from the canister, wiggle the canister back and forth slightly on

the piercer. You might hear a soft gurgling noise as the fuel from the canister begins to ll the

burner—this is normal.

4. After the canister has been installed, leave it in place and close the door. The appliance is now

ready for use. At this point the canister still contains fuel and should not be removed until the

canister is completely empty. The canister automatically feeds more fuel into the burner after

the fuel is ignited and starts burning. This continues until all the fuel is used from the canister.

The burner will continue to burn for a while after the canister is empty. At some point the ame

will move to the right side of the burner to indicate that the fuel is about to run out. You can

refuel the appliance at this time (see Section IX) or let the ame die down.

VIII. OPERATION

WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a re may result, causing property

damage, personal injury or loss of life.

NOTE: During initial operation of the new appliance and at the beginning of each burn

season, the appliance may emit a slight odor. This is normal, and the odor will dissipate

after a few hours. Open a window or the replace damper to vent the odor, if you nd it

unpleasant. This will not occur in subsequent use.

NOTE: Before burning the appliance for the rst time, install a canister of duraame

illuma-fuel

, let the fuel sit in the burner for ve minutes, and check to ensure there aren’t

any leaks below and around the front appliance (see Figure 10).

1. Use the knob (located at the right side of the appliance – Figure 9) to slide the snuffer device

or burner cover to the rear of the burner. Be sure that the cover is slid back far enough to fully

expose the burner slot.

2. Install a canister.

3. Wait a few minutes then push the igniter button located on the right side. The burner should

light. If it does not, hold down the igniter button until it does. You may need to wait a minute

or so to allow the duraame illuma-fuel to drain into the burner reservoir and reach the right

level before you push the sparker button. Initially, the ames might be low with a bluish hue.

The ames should grow in height and become yellow and orange as the fuel heats up. Make

sure that your head and face are not above the appliance when you are lighting it. NOTE: If the

replace is very cold or the temperature of the fuel is very low, the fuel may not ignite by using

the igniter. If this occurs, please use a long match or long butane lighter to ignite the fuel.
