MANUAL: installation and operation of the „round
burner“Seite 3 von 6
Important installation instructions
1. The front must be open to allow the heat to escape. The installation behind a closed glass pane ((e.g.
existing fireplace with glass door) may only be carried out after prior agreement.
2. A distance of at least 100 cm from combustible materials must be guaranteed on all open sides.
3. Distance between side wall or rear wall and burner:
a. The distance to a non-combustible side wall or rear wall must be at least 8 cm.
b. The distance to a combustible sidewall or rear wall must be at least 100 cm.
4. Distance upwards (measured from the upper edge of the burner):
a. The distance to a non-flammable lid must be at least 50 cm.
b. The distance to the top of combustible materials must be at least 150 cm.
5. A sufficient fire protection must be ensured around the combustion chamber. Flammable materials
must not come into contact with the hot surfaces. The space should be left empty. It is even better to
provide this empty room with fire protection panels, which are available at the hardware store.
6. When installing without side walls and / or rear wall (e.g. in the middle of a table or in a sideboard in
front of a wall), the burner may only be used with a glass cylinder.
7. The material in which the burner is inserted must be fire-resistant and protrude at least 20 cm above
the burner in any direction. If glass panes are used, this dimension can be reduced after sending the
planning and obtaining approval from the manufacturer.
Installation into a fireplace with chimney or a closed
combustion chamber
1. The installation in a fireplace or stove/tiled stove with chimney makes it absolutely necessary to
decouple the fireplace from the chimney before the installation. Usually, standard fireplaces are not
approved for operation with liquid fuels. Therefore, remove the stove pipe and close the access to the
chimney.
2. For removal of the carbon dioxide and water vapor produced during the combustion of ethanol, it is
necessary that there is an opening of sufficient size. Otherwise the fire goes out.
3. In closed combustion chambers, gases can accumulate. The burner shall not be left open in closed
small combustion chambers (for example in a woodburning stove) for a longer period than necessary
for filling. Otherwise, gases are formed in the combustion chamber, which can lead to deflagration
when lighting. However, the fireplace should always remain open for 2 minutes before ignition to
allow accumulated gases to escape before the burner ignites. An active ventilation can be beneficial.
4. Note that the heat output of the burner used must not exceed the heating capacity of the stove.
