We recommend that you clean all parts of your fireplace frequently with a lint-free cloth or kitchen paper
towel and a non-abrasive detergent, some bioethanol or another alcohol-based product. Regarding polished
steel surfaces use only a soft and clean cloth as the surfaces will easily be scratched by e.g. paper towels.
INSTALLATION
Please refer and adhere to the detailed installation guide on your technical drawing which
has been generated for your specific custom-made decoflame® fireplace. You will find all
dimensions and a step-by-step installation instruction there. It is advisable to install your
decoflame® fireplace only once all decoration work in the room has been finished.
Walls surrounding the built-in bioethanol fireplace must be constructed of or at least covered with non-
flammable material like fibre plasterboards (e.g. Fermacell, GypRock FireLine) or bricks.
The supports to the left and right inside the cut-out on which the fireplace will rest must be made of sturdy
non-flammable material like metal, concrete or brick. The supports must be perfectly in level.
If you have the slightest doubt of how to install the fireplace and which screws to use for your type of wall,
you should contact a skilled craftsman who is able to carry out the installation correctly.
Please note that the electronically controlled decoflame
®
e-ribbon Fire needs a connection to the mains in
order to work. Therefore, a power socket needs to be present inside the cut-out into which the fireplace will
be fitted.

Plasterboard walls – Stud-walls
Walls surrounding the built-in bioethanol fireplace must be constructed of or at least covered with non-
flammable material like fibre plasterboards (e.g. Fermacell, GypRock FireLine) or bricks.
Stone/Brick walls
The cut-out is made according to the attached drawing. The wall itself is non-flammable which makes it safe
to install the bioethanol fireplace directly within the cut-out.
Layout open to one side:
The wall cut-out is made at least 20mm deeper than the depth of
the fireplace to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling of the fireplace.
It is essential to maintain a 5mm gap all the way around the fireplace (Cut-out =
dimensions of fir 10mm).This gap must not be sealed.
As the edges of the cut-out remain visible it is important that they are done to
the highest possible finish. All four corners of the cut out must have exactly a 90
degree angle.
