POSITIONING
Make sure that your fireplace is installed in a safe place indoors (if you want to use it outdoors, please make
sure it has been explicitly specified as suitable for outdoors use), which means in a wall made of non-
flammable material with a distance to e.g. curtains of at least one metre (40 in). Also, chose a position for
your fireplace which is not exposed to any draught, as bioethanol is a volatile fluid. In fact, only the vapour of
the bioethanol is burning when lit. You should not touch the flames of the lit fireplace or blow into the flames.
You should also keep a distance of at least 30 cm (12 in) moving past the fireplace, as your movement may
have an impact on the flames.
The electronics of your custom-made decoflame® fireplace require a connection to a power socket (220-240
V – 50Hz – 1kW), which ideally should be placed inside the wall cut-out.
NB – We do not recommend to position TV screens or valuable paintings above the fireplace as the upwards
drifting warm air might damage those. Please do ask us for advise if you still wish to create a setting
incorporating a TV above the fireplace.
Make sure that the wall cut-out and supports left and right below the base plate of your custom-made
fireplace are perfectly in level, and all corners of the cut-out are in a perfect 90 degree angle. For all
dimensions, please refer to the detailed technical drawing for your decoflame
®
fireplace.
If in doubt, please contact Decoflame.
If your fireplace is installed in a room with a wooden ceiling, you must ensure that the distance between the
top of the fireplace and the ceiling is at least 1 metre (40 in). It is important that the fireplace is installed
perfectly in level. When choosing a suitable height as position for your fireplace please also consider keeping
it out of reach of smaller children and pets.
When lit, the surfaces of the upper part of the fireplace as well as any glass screens will be warm, as the
heat is led up- and outwards.
Do you have children or pets in the home? If so, make sure an adult keeps an eye on them at all
times during operation of your fireplace and never leave your fireplace unattended when it is lit.
MAINTENANCE
Before starting to clean the fireplace, make sure it has cooled down and is switched off completely.
Any glass components of your custom-made decoflame
®
fireplace are made of tempered heat-resistant
glass. Those glass parts as well as any metal parts which are exposed to the heat of the fire might slightly
change colour or structure. This is to be considered normal wear and tear and does not constitute a product
flaw or fault.
