Extinguishing the bioethanol
The bioethanol burner is extinguished by shutting of the supply of oxygen and thus suffocating
the fire. This can be done either by moving the metal cover across the flame or by placing and
external extinguishing tool over the opening.
To prevent the bioethanol from evaporating, the burner should be kept closed when not in use.
However, as the lid is not completely airtight, filled bioethanol will evaporate on its own over
time. You should therefore avoid refilling more bioethanol than you use.
If the burner does not extinguish when the metal cover is pulled over the flame, you can most of
the the time put out the fireplace by pulling the metal cover back and forth a few times.
Perferably in one quick motion.
Maintenance
If the bioethanol burner is used frequently, discoloration may occur on top of the burner. This is
normal and does not change the function of the fireplace. Do not use abrasive products to clean
the insert. Instead, clean the surface with a damp cloth. Glass can be cleaned with a ceramic hob
cleaner.
