If you want to re-ignite the fire immediately after the previous burning, you must first make sure that
the fire burnt itself out and visually check that no impurities remain in the burner (it is necessary to
clean the dirt off the burner when the fire goes out in order to avoid potential danger caused by
burning debris because when pouring new bio-ethanol into the burner, foreign or internal debris can
cause premature ignition of the new bio-ethanol, which in turn could cause injury or ignition of bio-
ethanol filling before actually lighting it – like when you mix coals to restart a dead fire).
Light the fireplace with the fireplace lighter, not matches or an ordinary lighter, or any other objects
that could burn outside of the burner and cause a fire. Do not lean over the face of the burner
chamber. Be careful when igniting and never underestimate this effect.
For regulating the flame or for turning off the fireplace use the integrated extinguishing blanket
provided. If you want to turn off the fireplace and then re-ignite it, and the burner still contains bio-
ethanol, proceed with caution. You must ensure that the fire burnt itself out and the burner cooled
below 100 degrees first. Then fill up the burner with more bio-ethanol supplement, max 1 cm below
the rim. During re-ignition of the burner keep a safe distance because bio-ethanol will constantly
evaporate.
Cotton wool padding or swabs can be used inside the burner for some types of burners, but is not a
necessary piece of equipment. It serves to ensure that, in case you’re moving the fireplace during the
time of burning, the bio-ethanol doesn´t spill out. But it also accelerates the combustion of bio-
ethanol, which slightly increases its consumption. If you will not want to use the cotton wool, you can
remove it and use the fireplace without cotton wool.
For suspended fireplaces, work with a blanket slowly and carefully. Quickly attaching or uncovering
the flame can cause temporary precipitation or splashing of the vaporized bio-ethanol on the
blanket, which if the fire is still burning, can drop and can cause a fire. Therefore, use a blanket, only
for regulation and for extinguishing the fire. Any manipulation at the time of burning is of course
dangerous.
When you use the logs do not post them directly into the fire, but behind or in front of the fire.
When put into the fire, it is possible that they could break or smell. Do not use the fireplace in a
breezy place, and don’t blow inside the fireplace.
Reservoir, burner and surroundings heat up intensely at the time of use. Do not touch these parts
even for up to 15 minutes after the flame has gone out. Risk of burns.
Burning bio-ethanol in the room also burns oxygen, increasing CO2 and water content in the air.
The moisture and quantity of CO2 in the room can be compared to the quantity produced by 2
burners from a gas stove. Therefore it is necessary to observe all of the safety rules when using the
gas stove. When the ignition of the fire can be smelled, or you sense that the bio-ethanol still does
not burn at an optimal temperature, but evaporates, don’t worry. This effect is lost after reaching the
optimum temperature of the burner. Thus, the same feeling may occur also after extinguishing the
flame, at least until the burner cools.
