Open a bottle of bioethanol and fill the fuel into the burner up to the max. level indicator. You
can use a funnel or a pump in order to avoid spilling. We recommend that you refill the burner
every time you wish to use the fireplace as this will make lighting it easier.
Never light a fireplace if you have spilled bioethanol outside the burner.
In case of spillage, wipe off any access bioethanol from the burner and surrounding surfaces
and empty the safety chamber underneath the burner. Then, wash your hands thoroughly
before lighting the bioethanol vapours (
danger of burns to your skin
).
Use a long fireplace match or a fireplace lighter to light the vapours.
Keep an appropriate distance when lighting the fireplace.
DO NOT
smoke when filling the burner with bioethanol.
DO NOT
– under any circumstances – refill the burner when it is in use or still hot from previous
use.
DO NOT
light the burner in case you have overfilled it! Partly empty the burner and the safety
chamber underneath from any excess bioethanol.
We recommend that you always let the fireplace burn until the complete bioethanol filling has
burnt off. Should you wish to extinguish the fire before the burner is empty, we recommend
that you fill the burner with bioethanol up to the max. level indicator before lighting it again. If
the burner is half empty or filled lower than the min. level indicator, the bioethanol gas on top
of the remaining liquid fills all of the empty space in the burner. If you were to light this "gas
accumulation", you would cause a little explosion. Furthermore, it can be difficult to light a
burner which is only half full.
Should it be necessary to extinguish the fire before the burner is empty, please
ONLY
use the
following method: place the hole in handle supplied with your fireplace on the stud of the
burner lid and slide the lid to a closed position by pulling it in a continuous, decisive movement
towards you. In this way, the oxygen supply is interrupted immediately and the flames are
extinguished. Should you not succeed at the first attempt, do try again until the flames are
extinguished.
DO NOT
attempt to blow out the fire!
IMPORTANT!
Wait around 15 – 20 minutes or until you are certain that the burner has cooled
down before you refill it with bioethanol.
The bioethanol must be stored safely and out of reach of children.
DO NOT
cover the fireplace.
DO NOT
place any inflammable materials or clothes on the
fireplace.
DO NOT
place any pebbles or stones on the burner as these will crack and might
cause injury or damage to the fireplace. Also,
DO NOT
place any ceramic logs or pebbles on
top of the burner as these will increase the combustion temperature, which increases the fuel
consumption and might cause undesired micro-particles in the room air.
Ensure that the room in which the fireplace is situated is well ventilated at all times during
operation of your fireplace without causing any draught. Please refer to section
"Specifications" for recommendations of suitable room sizes for your fireplace.
