GENERAL INFORMATION

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are the environmentally friendly solution for a real fire without the need for a chimney or gas supply. Suitable for homes without a chimney. All our fireplaces are ventless, smokeless and ash-free, so no chimney or gas is needed. Our fireplaces are designed with stainless steel and/or black steel with a modern concept. A warm, peaceful and relaxing environment can be created with our lantern.

Simple line drawing of an open window with sun and hills inside, enclosed in a rounded square frame (no text or symbols)

Bio-ethanol fireplaces can be placed anywhere in the house or flat. You can enjoy the benefits of a real fire without having to install a chimney. Since bio-ethanol burns almost residue-free, ventilation through an open window is sufficient in most cases if the room is large enough.

Before using the device, read the operating instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place. If this device changes hands, the operating instructions must be included when it is passed on to the new owner.

INSTALLATION

• Free-standing fireplaces and table-top appliances must be installed in a safe, level, stable and non-combustible place.
• Wall fireplaces must be mounted on a flat, solid and stable wall with non-combustible wall cladding in accordance with the instructions.
• Built-in fireplaces must be installed in a non-combustible cavity.

(1) This fireplace is operated with bio-ethanol which has a low flash point and is volatile. Have an expert installer check the environment before installing the unit.
(2) Installation is carried out on the basis of this manual.
(3) The environment within 50-60 cm of the chimney should be lined with heat resistant materials.
(4) Make sure that the table fireplace/freestanding fireplace is on a flat table/floor where it will not be touched when walking around. Keep children away from the fireplace.
(5) Ensure that the burner is not exposed to strong wind.

Freestanding installation

• The free-standing fireplace is fully assembled and no further assembly is required.
• Make sure that the fireplace has sufficient stability. In addition, the fireplace must stand absolute straight. Measure this with a spirit level. Otherwise, ethanol may leak.
• Place the fireplace on a heat-resistant and fireproof surface.
• Place the bioethanol burner in the fireplace.

Notes on installation

• The ethanol fireplace consumes oxygen from the air of the room in which it is operated. The rooms should be well ventilated with sufficient oxygen and fresh air (i.e. slightly open windows if the room is not ventilated).
• It is not recommended to use more than one fireplace at a time in one room.

Note: Never leave an open fire unattended at any time!

- The fireplace must not be used in the immediate vicinity of window coverings, curtains or other freely hanging materials or fabrics. To ensure that your window coverings cannot touch the device, keep a minimum clearance of 1.5 m. Take into account that light fabrics could be blown towards the fireplace by a gust of wind.

Minimum 450mm / 18"

- The use of "retention loops" for curtains or curtains is strongly recommended.

• Do not place flammable materials within 1 meter around the fireplace. The fireplace should be at least 1 meter away from other objects or furniture made of flammable material.
• Make sure that the installation site has a fire-proof surface.
• Avoid drafts or movements that cause drafts in the room in which the fireplace is operated.
• The fireplace must not be operated in the direct vicinity of an air conditioning or ventilation system.
• The use of the fireplace is not recommended in rooms with constantly high humidity.
• When using decorative ceramic wood or stones, it is essential to ensure that no decorative elements are directly in the flame. The decoration may only be placed around the burner slot and must consist of non-combustible material.
• When replacing the decoration, make sure that it has cooled down.

Note: During operation, the decoration material and the pane can reach a temperature of 90-140 °C. With the sliding device it is even up to 200 °C.

OPERATION

Notes on the fuel

Note: The ethanol is not included in the scope of delivery and must be purchased separately from a DIY store or fuel dealer.

• The fuel used in the fireplace should be stored in a shady and safe place.
• Use 95% bio-ethanol refined from plants.

Note: Use only bio-ethanol as fuel.

• Do not store more than 5 litres of flammable liquids in your apartment.
• Make sure that fuel containers are tightly closed.
• Keep fuel away from children and animals.
• The burning reservoir and fuel must not be exposed to heat such as direct sunlight or central heating.
• Do not smoke while handling the fuel.

Notes on use

• Fill each burner no more than 2/3 full with bio-ethanol.
• Never pour fuel into an open flame or into a hot burner reservoir. Wait at least 15 minutes until it has cooled down completely.
• Do not touch the fireplace while burning. Wait at least 15 minutes until it has cooled down completely.
  • The fireplace is not suitable for heating purposes.
• Due to the heat of the fireplace, children and animals should stay away during and 30 minutes after using the fireplace.

Filling, lighting and refi lling the burner

• Open the burner by pulling the slide
• Fill the container with bio-ethanol, not more than 2/3 parts of each burner capacity.
• Use a funnel for filling.
• Spilled ethanol must be removed with an absorbent tissue and the affected area cleaned with water to avoid ignition outside the burner container.
• Long lighters or long matches are ideal when lighting bio-ethanol. Otherwise there is a risk of defl agration. Under no circumstances throw used matches into the burner.
• If the flame does not ignite, please repeat the ignition process until the flame burns steadily.
• After the flame has gone out, wait at least 30 minutes before restarting the fi replace. Otherwise there is a risk of explosion.
• The flame glows slowly and small at first. It can take up to 15 minutes to reach the optimal temperature and flame height.

CAUTION

Risk of fi re! When lighting, always make sure that the fi replace is placed on a heat-resistant and fi reproof surface or ceramic tile, not directly on a carpet!

CAUTION

Risk of fi re! The fuel must be kept at a safe distance (at least 1 m) from the fi replace. Do not place ethanol fuel in front of the fi replace. Note that the ethanol sometimes burns bluish and is diffi cult to see. Therefore, always make sure that the burner is switched off and cold before adding ethanol.

Note: The fuel should be stored at room temperature to facilitate its ignition.

Refi lling the burner

• Never pour fuel into the burning flame!
• Allow the burner to cool down for at least 15 minutes before refi lling.
• Do not refi ll the ethanol fuel while there is fl ame or heat in the burner.

Extinguish fl ame

• Let the fuel burn out completely if possible. This prevents alcohol left in the reservoir and defl agration when reigniting.
• If you wish to extinguish the flame before the fuel has completely burned out, use the slides provided to close the burner opening. Wait approximately 30 minutes until the burner has reached room temperature. Only then dispose of the remaining fuel.
• Use only the extinguishing tool supplied with this device, never use a wooden or plastic tool and never your bare hands.
• The valve must always be fully open during operation so that no pressure can build up inside the burner.
• To extinguish the fi re, quickly pull the slide to the front of the burner. If the fi re is not extinguished, open the slider again and repeat the extinguishing process.

Warnings on the use of the burner

• Hot surface do not touch!
- Do not add fuel when the flame is burning as serious injuries could occur.
- Use the extinguishing tool supplied to adjust/close the flame.
- Liquid fuel next to the box can cause unexpected flames. Do not refill boxes until they have completely cooled down at least 15 minutes.
- Do not store any flammable goods close to the fuel box.
- Do not smoke while handling the fuel.
- Remember to fill bio-ethanol to a maximum of 2/3 of each box.
- Do not use gasoline or any other fuels other than bio-ethanol.
- Only use the device if sufficient ventilation can be provided, for example, by an open window.
- Try not to leave unburned fuel in burner, use up fully and refuel prior to next use.
- Do not leave children unattended.

Only use the extinguishing tool supplied with this appliance, never use a timber or plastic tool and never use your bare hands. Pulling the plate towards the front of the burner will reduce the flame height - and reduce the heat output.

To turn off the fi re, pull the damper plate briskly to the front of the burner and the fi re will extinguish. If the fi re does not shut down, reopen the damper plate and repeat the shutdown procedure. Pushing the plate towards the back of the burner will increase the fl ame height and increase the heat output.

After lighting the fi replace, allow approximately 15 minutes for the burner to achieve effective working temperature. The burner is at working temperature when the fl ames are full and mostly yellow in appearance.

CLEANING AND CARE

• The fireplace and accessories must be cleaned regularly. Use warm water and soap/detergent.
• Marks can be best removed with a soft cloth and a mixture of lukewarm water and a small amount of soap. We recommend cleaning the stainless steel regularly to prevent contamination.
• Do not put the water inside the burning tank, as the ceramic wool inside will absorb the liquid.

Note: Never use chemicals, steel-wool or scrubbing sponges as stainless steel surface can be scratched by these items. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any damages resulting out of false use and/or cleaning of the product.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible cause	Solution
Soot formation	Wrong fuel Use only 100 objects.	% bio ethanol.
	Burner slot covered by objects.	Expose the burner opening and place the decoration only around the burner slot.
Burning time too short	Wrong fuel (e.g. gel, alcohol)	Use only 100 % bio ethanol.
	Burner is not completely filled.	Extinguish the burner, refill after 30 minutes of cooling.
Flames too high	Wrong fuel (e.g. gel, alcohol)	Use only 100 % bio ethanol.
Flame does not go out when the slide is closed.	Can happen with larger burners because the ethanol vapor seeks a way through every small opening.	Repeat the closing process several times and faster to interrupt the oxygen supply.
