How to Operate the Burner

Lighting the Burner

To view a video of Lighting the Burner, visit our website at
ecosmartfire.com and click on Fire Safety.
WARNING: If the fire setting includes multiple burners, all burners
must be OFF and cooled during the filling procedure. Turn all
burners off and allow all burners to cool before refilling a burner.
Finish re-fuelling all burners before lighting each burner.
Keep hands and face the length of the lighting rod away from the
Burner at all times, particularly when igniting. Before lighting, ensure
that the Burner is clear and ready for use. open the slider fully and wait
for 60 seconds for the residual fumes to dissipate before lighting.
check the slider is free from obstruction and operating smoothly.
(Refer to Troubleshooting section on page 20 if difficulties are
experienced).
do not smoke while lighting the Burner, and make sure that no one is
in front of the fireplace while igniting the Burner. Only use the lighter
supplied with your ecoSmart fire.

1. dip the lighting rod tip into the chamber opening "Burner zone" to
wet the end.
2. Lift the lighting rod away from the Burner (do not drip fuel on the floor).
3. ignite the lighter and make contact with the lighting rod as if lighting
a candle.
4. dip the ignited lighting rod back into the Burner zone to ignite the
contained fuel.
5. Allow residual flame on lighting rod to burn out.
note: the XL1200, XL900 & XL700 is best ignited from the right hand
side of the ignition zone.
Once lit there will be a residual flame on the lighting rod that must burn
out before putting the rod away. If the flame on the lighting rod dies
before reaching the burner, repeat the procedure until successful.
Due to some residual oil in the fibres we use in the Burner there is a
stronger smell when first operating. It will decrease substantially after
the first few times you use the Burner, and even more so over time. To
minimise this, wash the burner out in hot water before using. the Burner
must be completely dry and cool before filling with fuel.

Regulating the Flame

not applicable for BK2uL or BK3 models.
Wait until the fire is established (approx 10 minutes) before regulating.
To decrease the flame intensity insert the lighting rod tip through the
circular ring and push forward gently to desired setting. only use the
lighting rod supplied with your ecoSmart fire to avoid hand burns.
to increase the flame intensity insert the lighting rod tip through the
circular ring and pull back gently to desired setting. only use the lighting
rod supplied with your ecoSmart fire to avoid hand burns.

Baffles (xL Series) / Efficiency Ring (AB8 Burner)
These efficiency devices are a standard inclusion with the XL Series and
AB8 Burners. Baffles (or Rings) are placed over the internal burner vents
when cold and not operating and serve to increase the efficiency of the
burner as well as further stabilise the flame of the burner. ( XL1200 - 5x

Baffles, XL900 - 4x Baffles, XL700 - 3x Baffles, XL500 - 2x Baffles, AB8 -
1x Efficiency Ring)
note: regulatory function and accessories not applicable to XS340,
BK2uL, VB2 and AB3 – in these models, the control must be in the fully
ON or fully OFF position only. The flame cannot be adjusted.

Important: All Burner parts will age over the course of time through
natural processes associated with use, heat and flame.
Please also note that new stainless steel has an oil coating that will burn
off during the first few uses. You will notice an accumulation of carbon
around the top opening of the Burner zone and its vents. this will appear
quickly and is normal. You will need to perform your first maintenance
after approximately 20 litres [5.28 gal] of e-nrg Bioethanol burnt.
After this, the accumulation will be far slower and maintenance can then
occur every 50 litres [13.20 gal] of e-nrg Bioethanol burnt. if anything
abnormal appears, do not operate the appliance. If the fire is running, turn
it off immediately and contact your distributor before using again.
