4 Firing

Be careful to read through this sec! on and make sure that all users of the burner understand the
safety prescrip! ons before it is put into use.

4.1 Lighting the burner

At the ﬁ rst start, points 1-6 are followed. For later normal use, points 2-6 are followed. When
reposi! oning, or making other changes in the burner’s surroundings, points 1-6 are to be followed.

Note!

Do not add fuel if you do not intend to start the burner immediately; see Sec! on

4.2.2 R

eﬁ lling

with fuel below.

1. See that the assembly and installa! on are done according to the instruc! ons in

Sec! on 3

2. Check that the regulator lid opens and closes and that the regulator lid moves smoothly and

! ghtly against the burner. When the burner is oﬀ , the lid should cover the en! re burner opening.

3. Open the regulator lid completely. Add fuel according to the instruc! on

4.2.2 Reﬁ lling with fuel

below

. If the burner is recently used, allow it to cool down for at least 15 minutes.

Warning!

Fuel must never be added in a burning burner!

4. Check that there is no spilled fuel on or outside the burner. Light the burner by moving a lighter

with an extended ! p in to the burner matrix. See that no inﬂ ammable material is present within
a distance of 1 metre. The burner will start immediately, and in a short ! me it will produce
beau! ful dynamic yellow ﬂ ames. If necessary, the ﬂ ames’ eﬀ ect is regulated steplessly with the
regulator axle.

Note!

At cold start, if fuel has been le& long in the burner, a safety func! on prevents it from

ligh! ng immediately. In such a case the burner can be started by holding the lighter lit for about
10 seconds while its ﬂ ame barely touches the burner matrix. If the burner does not start, add
new fuel according to Sec! on 4.2.2, keeping in mind that the burner in this case will absorb less
than 2 (3 CI Wide) litres.

Warning!

This procedure may increase the wear on the burner and thus reduce its life! me. Vauni

recommends that tanking be done not long before the burner is used.

5. If the burner goes out immediately a& er ligh! ng – repeat the ligh! ng procedure in point 4 above.

6. If possible, run the burner un! l it goes out or the ﬂ ames are very small.

Note 1!

On the ﬁ rst occasions of ﬁ ring, some smell may arise – this is quite normal. The smell

decreases gradually a& er a number of ﬁ rings.

Note 2!

A clicking sound may occur during ﬁ ring, at the start or when the fuel level is low and the

ﬂ ames are smaller. This is quite normal.

4.2 Fuel

The burner is op! mized for, and must only be used with, liquid denatured ethanol – whose burning
produces only carbon dioxide and water vapour, the same components as in the air we breathe out.

Warning!

The fuel must not be preheated.

4.2.1 Recommended fuel quality

For Vauni burners we recommend Vauni ECO-FLAME which is the market’s most op! mal bio-ethanol
fuel for use in chimney-free hearths and inserts. This product gives natural, smoke- and soot-free ﬂ a-
mes with a neutral aroma, and can be ordered at www.vauni.com. In cases where ECO-FLAME is not
available, only liquid denatured ethanol (bio-ethanol) must be used, which is sold under various trade
