Installation of tailor-made projects
Check the installation instructions on our website, www.bioethanol-fireplace.co.uk.
Installation of glass and decoration
If glass is included with your bioethanol fireplace, we recommend that it be installed. The sup-
plied glass holders are mounted, with a screw and subsequently, the glass is placed in the holder
and clamped.
Only tighten the glass screws by hand, and not too tight. Metal and glass expand when heated,
and if they are tightened too tightly, the glass can burst during use.
•
Different decorations (ceramic wood and ceramic stones) can be used with the burner. Place
them around the burner, so that the opening is completely free. Placing decoration inside
the flames can create soot and unclean combustion.
•
If the fireplace has safety glass, the decoration should not be touching this. The ceramic
decoration conducts heat and can cause the glass to shatter.
•
After use, do not touch the decoration material until it has cooled down.
•
For safety reasons, no decorations material other than decorations, intended for use in
bioethanol fireplaces, should be used.
Warning! The temperature of the glass screen and the decorations material can reach 90° - 140° C
when the burner is in use. The top of the bioethanol burner can reach up to 200° C during use.
Fueling the fireplace
We recommend using bioethanol with an alcohol percentage between 95 - 97.5% alcohol.
Bioethanol with a lower alcohol percentage can be used, but might create a smaller flame and
give off an odour of alcohol when burned. Bioethanol with an alcohol content of more than
97.5% is not recommended.
Never use fuel other than bioethanol intended for biofireplaces. Ethanol gel, fireplace fuel,
hand-sanitizer, etc. are not suitable for use in bioethanol fireplaces. If you use fuel other than
the recommended one, you can risk damaging the fireplace and exposing yourself to great fire
danger.
Do not smoke while filling and lighting the bioethanol burner. Risk of explosion!
NOTE: The burner is filled with ceramic cotton wool. This should remain in the burner and
should not be removed. The bioethanol simply needs to be filled on top of the ceramic
cotton wool.
