MANUAL: installation and operation of the „safety burner“
Seite 2 von 6
Installation
1.
The safety burner may only be installed and rebuilt with non-flammable material (e.g. stainless steel,
concrete, fire protection boards, ceramics, bricks, stone, etc.)
2.
The materials used must be suitable for large temperature variations (e.g. heat-resistant glass),
otherwise they may be damaged.
3.
The burner must be integrated in a firm and safe position so that no ethanol can be spilled (for
example by accidentally knocking over.
4.
The burner should be integrated into a level surface without gradients.
5.
The construction in which the burner is integrated must be constructed so that the burner can not slip.
6.
The burner must not be installed next to wallpaper, laminate or other delicate and non-fire-resistant
surfaces or appliances (such as TV sets) as they may be damaged by the heat.
7.
Make sure that the burner opening is at least 100 cm away from curtains, flammable materials and
other sources of fire. Also note the influence of drafts.
8.
The burner should be shielded on at least one side (for example, the rear side facing the wall). To
increase safety, however, we recommend leaving the burner accessible from one side only, i.e. shield
3 sides and the top with a non-flammable material (see "Important installation instructions” below). In
this way, a quiet flame image is generated because draft is largely avoided.
9.
No changes may be made to the burner.
10.
Take each ¼ of the supplied glow indicator and distribute it loosely both on the right and on the left
side of the burner.
11.
The following distances must be strictly adhered to.
Important installation instructions
1.
The front must be open to allow the heat to escape. The installation of a glass pane may only be done
by prior arrangement.
2.
Ensure that there is at least 100 cm of inflammable material on all open sides.
3.
Distance between side wall or rear wall and burner:
a.
The distance to a non-combustible side wall or rear wall must be at least 8 cm.
b.
The distance to a combustible sidewall or rear wall must be at least 100 cm.
4.
Distance upwards (measured from the upper edge of the burner):
a.
The distance to a non-flammable lid must be at least 50 cm.
b.
The distance to the top of combustible materials must be at least 150 cm.
5.
A sufficient fire protection must be ensured around the combustion chamber. Flammable materials
must not come into contact with the hot surfaces. The gap should be left empty. It is even better to
provide this empty room with fire protection panels, which are available at the hardware store.
6.
When installing without side walls and/or rear wall (for example in the middle of a table or in a
sideboard in front of a wall), the non-combustible material into which the burner must be inserted
shall project at least 20 cm beyond the burner in each direction. If glass panes are used, this amount
may be reduced once the manufacturer has received planning permission and approval from the
manufacturer.
