MANUAL: installation and operation of the „safety burner“

Installation into a fireplace with chimney or a closed combustion chamber
1.
The installation in a fireplace or stove/stove with chimney makes it absolutely necessary to decouple
the fireplace from the chimney before the installation. Usually, commercial chimneys are not
approved for operation with liquid fuels. Therefore, remove the stovepipe and close the access to the
chimney.
2.
For removal of the carbon dioxide and water vapor produced during the combustion of ethanol, it is
necessary that an opening of sufficient size is present. Otherwise the fire goes out.
3.
In closed combustion chambers, gases can accumulate. The burner shall not be left open in closed
small combustion chambers (for example in a woodburning stove) for a longer period than necessary
for filling. Otherwise, gases form in the combustion chamber, which can lead to deflagration when
lighting. However, the fireplace should always remain open for 2 minutes before ignition to allow
accumulated gases to escape before the burner ignites. An active ventilation can be beneficial.
4.
Note that the heat output of the burner used must not exceed the heating capacity of the stove.
