intimate and friendly atmosphere.

. It can be used in any environment

having adequate natural ventilation. No flue also means all the heat
remains within the room.

operation of the Insert A-05 means clean, emission free and
environmentally friendly usage. There are no combustion residues, such as
ash or soot, to clean or remove!

4.1. Using the supplied funnel (E), pour 4 measuring cups (C) of

FANOLA® into the reservoir.

Do not pour any additional liquid into the reservoir during use as it

may cause a fire and burns.

BEFORE REFILLING THE RESERVOIR YOU SHOULD WAIT

4.1. Be very careful not to spill the liquid outside the reservoir. If liquid is

spilt on the reservoir, dry the affected components before igniting
the flame.

4.2. Using the lighter supplied (G), ignite the liquid in the reservoir by

bringing the flame close to the surface of the liquid.

15

4.3. After a few moments you can adjust the flame size by altering the

reservoir shutter using the supplied metal tool (F).

4.4. Regulate the size of the flame by altering the shutter in a range

between maximal opening and the position presented in the
drawing below. The opening range has been set for optimal
combustion. Therefore, this operating range should not be
exceeded except when wanting to extinguish the flame which can
be achieved by closing the shutter completely.

Closing the reservoir shutter completely will cause the flame to be
extinguished.

To extinguish the flame close the reservoir shutter quickly to cutoff
the oxygen supply.
Closing the shutter slowly will not guarantee the extinguishing of
the flame.
