Stability: Choose a flat, solid ground to prevent the fireplace from tipping over.
Visual effect: Choose a conspicuous place according to the layout of the room to ensure the best viewing effect of the flame.

Tools And Components

Prepare installation tools: screwdriver, wrench, etc.
Check components: Open the package and check whether the following parts are complete:

Fireplace body (oval shell in the picture) Stainless steel pillars and base

Fuel box or burner Fire extinguisher cover

Fix screws

Installation Steps:

1. Assemble The Base And Pillars:

Align the stainless steel pillars with the base and fix them with the provided screws.

Tighten the screws with the tool to ensure that the pillars are firmly connected to the base.

2. Install The Fireplace Body:

Align the socket at the top of the fireplace body with the pillars.

Fix the body to the top of the pillars with screws to ensure stability.

3. Install The Burner Bracket:

The combustion chamber bracket consists of two iron sheets with a groove in the middle for fixing.

Put one piece in first, then put the other piece in and align the groove

4. Install The Burner:

Put the burner (fuel box) in the groove of the fireplace body and make sure it is placed in the center.

Check whether the burner cover can be opened and closed freely.

5. Filling The Fuel:

Use a dedicated alcohol fuel (such as bioethanol) and fill it according to the capacity instructions of the burner.

Avoid overfilling, usually only fill to 2/3 of the height of the fuel box.

6. Ignition Test:

Use a long-handled lighter to ignite the fuel.

Confirm that the flame burns evenly and there is no odor.

Before testing the ignition, make sure the surface of the burner is dry to avoid accidental combustion caused by alcohol residue.

7. Cleaning And Adjustment:

Check whether the fireplace is stable and there are no loose parts.

Clean up the packaging materials left during the installation process.

Adjust the direction or position of the fireplace to adapt it to the layout of the room.

8. Extinguish The Flame:

Put the cover of the combustion chamber on the combustion chamber, wait for 5-10 seconds, and open the cover. You will find that the flame has gone out.

Of course, this is a test. Under normal circumstances, just follow the above operation without opening the cover.
