Fireplace CHIMO, Instruction Manual / Safety Instructions
Starting up:
- Open the cover of the burner reservoir (B) completely using the controller tool (I) (illustration 10).
- Fill the burner (B) with the fuel (L) up to the level marker (see illustration 10) using the measuring jug (K)
and the funnel (J). (maximum filling for item 65174 and 65185: 0,9 ltr / 30 fl oz, for 65184: 1,4 ltr /
47,3 fl oz).
- Spilled alcohol must be removed with an absorbant tissue and cleaned with water to prevent ignition outside
the burner reservoir.
- CAUTION: Spilled alcohol may lead to matt stains on parquet flooring.
- ATTENTION: The fuel should be stored at room temperature to facilitate its ignition.
- CAUTION: Fuel must be kept in safe distance (min. 1 m / 40 inch) to the fireplace.
- Do not place fuel in front of the fireplace.
- Dip the prongs of the controller tool (I) into the filled reservoir and light the moistened prongs with a
sticklighter. Keep a safe distance to the reservoir.
- Transfer the burning controller tool (I) to the ethanol reservoir. Use caution and keep the length of the
tool as a safety distance.
- In case the flame does not ignite, please repeat the ignition process until the flame burns steadily.
- Fuel will burn low at first. Please allow 15 minutes to reach the optimum temperature and flame height.The
flame then can be adjusted by opening or closing the sliding cover on the reservoir with the controller tool
(see illustration 10).
- Adjust the flame to prevent it from hitting the upper end of the burning chamber (10-15 cm / 4-5 inch
distance).
Refill:
- CAUTION: Never pour fuel into the burning flame!
- CAUTION: Allow the burner to cool down for at least 15 minutes before refilling. Do not pour fuel into the
hot burner!
- To refill, follow instructions above.
Extinguish:
- CAUTION: Never extinguish the flame with water!
- Let the fuel burn out completely if possible. This prevents alcohol odours left in the reservoir and deflagration
when reigniting.
- If you wish to extinguish the flame before the fuel has completely burned out, please use the controller
tool to fully close the opening of the reservoir and wait until the flame is extinguished. Wait approximately
30 minutes until the burner has reached room temperature. Only then dispose of the remaining fuel.
- In case the flame is not extinguished immediately, please close the cover and wait app. 10-15 minutes to
allow the flame to cool down. Repeat the above instruction until the flame is fully extinguished.
Maintenance / Care instructions:
- The burner must be cleaned regularly. It is recommended to clean it after 100 hours of service.
Use warm water and washing-up liquid.
- Marks can be best removed with a soft cloth and a mixture of lukewarm water and a small amount
of cleaning liquid (ph-neutral). We recommend to clean the stainless steel item regularly to prevent
contamination.
- To seal the surface we recommend our blomus stainless steel maintenance spray. This creates
a dirt-deflecting protective film and works preventing against scaling.
- CAUTION! Never use chemicals like white spirits, turpentine or fuel. Do not use Steel-wool or
scrubbing sponges either. The surface can be scratched by these. The manufacturer can not be
held responsible for any damages resulting out of false use and / or cleaning of the product.
