Denatured ethanol is an inflammable liquid, and therefore must be handled with great care – in Sweden
according to the prescriptions and general advice for handling inflammable liquids (National Inspectorate of
Explosives and Flammables, SÄIFS 2000:2). Handling of larger amounts than 100 litres requires a permit for
handling of inflammable goods (SÄIFS 1995:3). For more information, see www.raddningsverket.se (Applies
for Sweden – for other markets consult your distributor)

Before adding fuel: it is very important that the correct quality of fuel is used – so check again to be sure.
Bio-alcohol in gelatinous form, or ethanol fuel for automobiles such as E85, must not be used under any
circumstances! If non-recommended fuel is used, it can lead to greatly reduced characteristics and also
constitute a potential health hazard with risk of personal injury. Faults that arise due to use of incorrect fuel
are not covered by the guarantee. If you feel uncertain, consult with the personnel at the place of sale in order
to ensure purchase of the right fuel quality.

4.2.2 Refilling with fuel

Warning! Denatured ethanol burns with an almost invisible flame under certain conditions. This may
happen, for example, when the level in the burner is low. Therefore, it is very important that the fireplace is
extinguished completely after use, and that it can cool for at least 15 minutes before more fuel is added. To add
fuel in a burning fireplace is very dangerous and can cause an explosion.

Note 1! Add fuel when the fireplace is about to be used – the burner has a safety function that makes it harder
to start when the fuel has been standing for more than 20 minutes. Read more at point 4 in Section 4.1
Lighting the fireplace.
Note 2! The burner may contain fuel from previous firing. The tank’s total volume is 1,8 liters. Therefore, do
not add more than is needed according to point 5 below.

The following steps should be taken when adding fuel:
1. See that the fireplace is completely extinguished, by checking that the regulator lid is closed, and that the

fireplace has been allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed.

2. Check that the correct fuel is used. Vauni recommends that the fireplace be filled from bioethanol

packaged in bottles of 1 litre.

3. Open the regulator lid completely. Start filling by holding the bottle to the burner’s opening, angled so

that the fuel flows in the burner’s length direction, from right to left or vice versa. To reduce the risk of
spillage, it us recommended using the supplied funnel (Figure 19). Pour the fuel carefully down into the
burner strainer. Add carefully until fuel is no longer absorbed by the burner strainer. The fuel level must
not exceed the bottom of the burner strainer with more than maximum 1 mm (Figure 20).
