• It is recommended to open a window during operation.
• The operation of more than one decorative ethanol fireplace is permitted
only provided the total fuel consumption of all the units does not exceed
0.5 l/h and ventilation is adequate. In this context, please observe the
table on Page 5 in Section 2.1. Technical data.
• The burner may only be operated using the burner mat and its wicks.
Changes to the number of wicks, the wick material or the burner mat
are prohibited.
• Any modifications to the ebios-fire units are prohibited
• This is a decorative fireplace for private household use - it is not intended
for heating or for continuous use! It must nevertheless be observed that
heat is generated as a by-product during burning (approx. 3 kW). This
may heat up the installation room.
• The tank should be empty and the cover plate should be on the burner
when it is not in use. The burners are intended to burn until the fuel tank
is empty. Fill in less fuel if you wish to enjoy the play of the flames for
a short period only. To shut down the unit prematurely, use the handling
rod to close the burner with the cover plate. Allow the burner to cool
down for at least 1 hour after extinguishing!
• The burner may NOT be filled when warm or burning and NOT via the
burner channel!
DANGER TO LIFE!
• Handling of fuel near the hot or still burning unit poses considerable
risks and must be avoided at all costs!
• Fill the burner exclusively via the filler opening, never via the burner
channel! (see fig. 1)
• Should you accidentally spill ethanol, please remove this immediately
and before igniting the burner!
• Please be aware that the brightness of the flame may diminish until the
flame is no longer clearly visible. Point this out to children and other
persons in the household.
• Check that the burner is extinguished and has cooled down completely
(wait for at least 1 hour after extinguishing).
• Do not smoke when handling the fuel and the ebios-fire.
Non-observance of these basic rules may lead to uncontrolled ignition and
even explosion!
3.2 FUEL
The fuel used is “Bio-ethanol” (chemical formula C
2
H
6
O) with ethanol content
of 96%, available from your specialist dealer. It is classified as a hazardous
substance under ADR: Class 3 PG II, UN 1170.
Never use other fuels such as petrol, spirit or similar flammable liquids, or
mixtures of any kind. The warranty will be void and operation may be unsafe
unless the burners are operated exclusively with the prescribed fuel.
Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid which must be stored well-sealed,
protected against light and away from sources of ignition. It is permitted to
store a maximum of 5 litres and 20 litres in the living area and the base-
ment resp. Store the Bio-ethanol out of the reach of children. For reasons
of safety and to avoid unintentional ignition by unauthorised persons or
evaporation of the fuel, only fill the burners shortly before use.
Please note that ethanol is exclusively suited for burning and is unsuitable
for consumption. Watch over your children! In case of ingestion, immediately
seek medical assistance and present the fuel label.
