Installation is simple

You can also pick between manual and automatic bioethanol burning devices. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.

Designs and styles

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to extinguish the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from children and pets.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled with the slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
