OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS
light and extinguish your deco
flame
®
fireplace in a safe manner.
ONLY
adults may light
and extinguish the flames.
All
deco
flame
®
bioethanol fireplaces are designed and manufactured exclusively for use with
bioethanol of highest purity (at least 96% but not more than 97.5%).
DO NOT
use any other fuel
or materials or bioethanol of inferior quality as this will void your warranty.
We supply our own carefully chosen deco
flame
®
bioethanol. Please ask for sourcing options at
your fireplace retailer.
Open a bottle of bioethanol and fill the fuel into the burner up to the max. level indicator. You
can use a funnel or a pump in order to avoid spilling. We recommend that you refill the burner
every time you wish to use the fireplace as this will make lighting it easier.
Never light a fireplace if you have spilled bioethanol outside the burner.
In case of spillage, wipe off any access bioethanol from the burner and surrounding surfaces
and empty the safety chamber underneath the burner. Then, wash your hands thoroughly
before lighting the bioethanol vapours (
danger of burns to your skin
).
Use a long fireplace match or a fireplace lighter to light the vapours.
Keep an appropriate distance when lighting the fireplace.
DO NOT
smoke when filling the burner with bioethanol.
DO NOT
– under any circumstances – refill the burner when it is in use or still hot from
previous use.
DO NOT
light the burner in case you have overfilled it! Partly empty the burner and the safety
chamber underneath from any excess bioethanol.
We recommend that you always let the fireplace burn until the complete bioethanol filling has
burnt off. Should you wish to extinguish the fire before the burner is empty, we recommend
that you fill the burner with bioethanol up to the max. level indicator before lighting it again. If
the burner is half empty or filled lower than the min. level indicator, the bioethanol gas on top
of the remaining liquid fills all of the empty space in the burner. If you were to light this "gas
accumulation", you would cause a little explosion. Furthermore, it can be difficult to light a
burner which is only half full.
Should it be necessary to extinguish the fire before the burner is empty, please
ONLY
use the
following method: place the hole in handle supplied with your fireplace on the stud of the
burner lid and slide the lid to a closed position by pulling it in a continuous, decisive movement
towards you. In this way, the oxygen supply is interrupted immediately and the flames are
extinguished. Should you not succeed at the first attempt, do try again until the flames are
extinguished.
DO NOT
attempt to blow out the fire!
IMPORTANT!
Wait around 15 – 20 minutes or until you are certain that the burner has cooled
down before you refill it with bioethanol.
