• The handling of fuel in the vicinity of the hot or burning device is associ-
ated with significant risks and is not permitted!
• Only fill the burner via the filling opening and never via the burner
channel!
• Should you accidentally spill ethanol, clean this up immediately and
before lighting the burner!
• Please note that the luminosity of the flame can decrease to such an
extent that the flame is no longer clearly visible. Make children and
others in the home aware of this.
• Minimum waiting time between extinguishing and refilling the burner
= 1 hour!
• Do not smoke when handling fuel and operating the ebios-fire.
Failure to follow these basic rules can result in uncontrolled ignition or even
explosions!
3.2 FUEL
Bioethanol (chemical formula C2H6O) with an ethanol content of 96% is used
as the fuel. This can be purchased from specialist dealers. It is a dangerous
substance as per ADR: Class 3 PG II, UN 1170.
Under no circumstances should other fuels such as petrol, spirit or similar
flammable liquids be used. Do not mix the fuels together or with other
substances. The burners may only be operated using the prescribed fuel
otherwise the warranty will be rendered void and the device may be unsafe
or dangerous to operate.
Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid which must be stored well sealed, pro-
tected from light and away from sources of fire. It is permitted to store max.
5 l in the living space and max. 20 l in the cellar. Keep bioethanol out of the
reach of children.
• It is recommended to open a window during operation.
• Several decorative ethanol fireplaces may only be operated if the fuel
consumption rate of all devices together does not exceed 0.5 l/h and if
additional measures are taken to ensure sufficient ventilation. In this
context, please refer to the table on page 5, under point 2.1 Technical
data.
• The burner may only be operated with the burner mat and these wicks.
It is not permitted to change the number of wicks, the wick material or
the burner mat.
• The ebios-fire appliances must not be modified.
• This is merely a decorative fireplace for use in the home and is not
intended for heating or continuous operation! Nevertheless, it should
be taken into account that heat (approx. 3 kW) is generated as a by-
product of the combustion process. Amongst other things this can cause
increased heating in the room where the fireplace is installed.
• There should never be any fuel in the tank and the cover must always be
placed on the burner when the latter is not in use.
• The burners are designed for the fuel to be burnt until all gone. If you
only wish to enjoy the flames for a short period of time, use a corre-
spondingly smaller amount of fuel. If you wish to take the burner out of
operation at an earlier stage than normal, place the cover on the burner
with the aid of the ‘cold hand’. After shutting down the burner, always
allow at least 1 hour
• The burner must NOT be filled when warm or alight and must NOT be
filled via the burner channel! DANGER TO LIFE!
