    Use the following link for the Flare Fireplace NG to LP conversion on Maxitrol ignition NOTICE Flare Fireplaces does offer the ability to run your fireplace with a liquid propane tank though there are certain limitations this fuel type presents when compared to the usage of natural gas. Liquid propane burns more efficiently and hotter than natural gas so to accommodate this increase in heat we must use smaller orifices to achieve a lower BTU that can cause your flame to appear smaller than on a unit run on natural gas.

  • Page 62: Flare Fireplaces - Double Glass

    OVERVIEW With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with safety double glass technology. The Flare Fireplace double glass is built with two layers of glass. The design allows cool air to flow between the two layers, with the help of built-in blowers, which significantly lowers the temperature of the external glass, making it safe for a brief touch.
  • Page 63: Double Glass - Instructions

    DOUBLE GLASS - INSTRUCTIONS The double glass design depends on the blower’s ability to move room temperature air from the lower air intake, up between the internal and external glass, through the chase above the fireplace, and out the upper heat release. These relatively quiet blowers cannot be turned off and are required for the continued operation of your Double Glass system.
