1.0 Introduction
This document provides user operating information
and installation instructions for the FusionFire™
electric fireplace product. It is intended to be
installed as a built-in appliance in a new or existing
site.
1.1 General
The Modern Flames FusionFire™ Steam Fireplace
combines the natural, 3-dimensional flame
appearance of a gas fireplace with the safety and
ease of installation associated with an electric
fireplace.
The Modern Flames FusionFire™ Steam Fireplace is
designed to replace gas fireplaces without
compromising the realism of the flames.
This product delivers a 3-dimensional natural
random flame appearance similar to a gas fireplace,
but without the associated installation restrictions
and heat issues.
1.2 Technology
1.2.1 Specifications
• LCD User display: Displays settings, status,
and user guidance.
• Keypad: Allows operation without a remote
control.
• Remote Control: Wireless “TV” type remote
(Infrared technology).
• Utilizes a standard dedicated 120 VAC @
60Hz 20A circuit for the flame presentation
function.
• Utilizes an additional standard dedicated 120
VAC @ 60Hz 20A circuit for the room heater
function (heater included with each unit,
hookup optional).
• FauxFire® technology is a patented
simulated flame system that utilizes steam
and lighting techniques to create a realistic
flame effect.
1.2.2 Basic and Optional Features
• Produces desirable humidity as a byproduct
of steam production.
• Auxiliary heater unit (hookup is optional):
Provides additional warmth for cold climate
installations.
• Firebox Liner (sold separately): The inside of
the firebox is designed to accept various
decorator liners.
• Faux log set (sold separately)
1.2.3 Controllable Features
• Fireplace On/Off
• Flame Height: User may adjust the flame
height in 6 flame setti ngs.
• Flame intensity: User may adjust flame effect
light source from low to high.
• Auxiliary Heat On/Off and Temperature
Increase/Decrease in 6 settings
• User Display prompt when water filter
replacement is requited
During operation, the steam boiler heats a volume of
water safely under controlled low pressure to create
the proper conditions for a steady stream of steam
that turns immediately into water vapor when it is
released from a manifold. The shape of this vapor
emission is very important to the realism of the fire
simulation.
A lighting assembly is strategically located to
illuminate the steam.
• Water Source: Standard ¼” water line
(included) for plumbed installations allows
automatic filling. If no water source available,
manual water filling allows for 12 hours of
continuous use.
• Integrated water filter system ensures clean
operation and full rated product life.
