IMPORTANT INFORMATION

As per the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (GPSG) and our

statutory duty to notify, we would like to inform you about heating with this

product.

The calorific value of 96% ethanol equates to approx. 29,600 kJ / kg. With

fuel consumption of 1,6 l/h the heat released is approx. 10,800 W.

However, the decorative fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air

when operated as otherwise the amount of carbon dioxide created exceeds

the permitted concentration in the room air.

As a rule, the fresh air supplied is cooler than the room air to be heated up

which results in a loss of energy. The effective heat output of a Bio ebios-

fire is thus minimal and, as such, decorative fireplaces which use biofuel

are not sources of heat.

Rather these are merely decorative and are not intended for heating or

continuous operation. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that

heat is generated as a by-product of the combustion process. This can

cause increased heating in the room where the fireplace is installed. Read

the safety instructions and measures for rear ventilation carefully.

Please pay attention to these operating instructions.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Young children, the elderly and the frail: As with all naked flames, a guard

should be used to protect the above. Risk of burns! Never leave such

individuals unsupervised near an ebios-fire when it is lit or when the fire

has just gone out. ebios-fire must always be operated under supervision!

Your ebios-fire should be installed and operated in accordance with the

relevant national and local regulations, in particular the fire safety regula-

tions of the particular federal state or the fire protection regulations of the

VKF (Switzerland).

Ensure that your ebios-fire is set up on a stable base and select an instal-

lation location where the burner will not be exposed to movement due to

impacts, etc., when in operation.

Please note that you should never top up with fuel manually by pouring it

into the fire tray by hand. Fuel is always supplied to the fire directly from

the canister, via the integral pump!

Only persons familiar with the appliance and the safety instructions and

who have been trained how to operate the fire should be allowed to change

the fuel canister.

The ebios-fire is not a heater. It is a decorative fire. Sufficient ven-

tilation must be provided. The appliance switches off automatically

after 8 hours for safety reasons.

Bioethanol is a hazardous substance and the quantities you may store are

subject to regulations. It is essential to comply with the regulations that

apply at the place of use.

GB 5

For homes in Germany the general rule is:

Storage in the basement: not more than 20 litres

Storage in the living-room: not more than 5 litres

(Source: Hazardous Substances Information Data Sheet published by the Association of the Raw Materials

and Chemical Industry; also Technical Rules for Flammable Fluids 20)

1.1 SCOPE OF SUPPLY

ebios-fire with the following features:

• Tower housing (base) with stainless steel fire tray, top glass panel, three

glass supports and glass tubes

• 2 x canister closing systems with hose connection

• Radio remote control

• Charger for integral battery

• Installation and Operating Manual

2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please carefully read and note the following instructions. Remember that

bioethanol is a liquid fuel that can generate high temperatures when burned

and which is itself highly flammable. You should also bear in mind that the

brightness of the flame can dim to a level at which the flame is no longer

clearly visible. Please make children and other people in the home aware of

this. Failing to follow the installation and operating instructions can result

in dangerous situations and the possibility of explosive ignition of the fuel.

Correct installation and proper handling are essential to ensure safe, reli-

able operation of your fire.

The unit is not self-supporting. It must be installed as per the instructions,

ensuring it is horizontal. Never move the burner when the unit is operating.

The unit must be installed in such a way that it cannot be knocked over or

tilted.

2.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Once the operating voltage is applied to the burner (via battery or charger),

pressing the switch behind the flap door in the base will switch it to opera-

tional mode. Ignition is then started via the remote control. During this

phase the pump operates continuously, whereas ignition takes place at

intervals. This fills the fire tray with fuel, which then ignites.

Ignition stops automatically as soon as the ethanol level is sufficient for

operation. The integral pumps feed fuel into the tray until the level reaches

the level sensor. At that point the pumps switch off.

The level falls as the fuel burns. When the fuel is no longer in contact with

the level sensor, the pumps start up again and continue pumping until the

level reaches the sensor again.

Only one pump is in operation at any one time. That helps keep the power

consumption low.

The burner is supplied with two sets of fuel lines for operation with two

canisters. First of all, pump 1 empties canister 1. Then the system switches

over to pump 2 and canister 2. Always make sure the burner is switched off

before exchanging an empty canister for a full one.

It is also possible to operate the unit with just one canister. This can be

done by operating the burner with only one set of fuel lines and one canister

(detach the filling adapter and quick-action coupling from the line).

GB 6

If the canister(s) is/are empty, the flame will go out and the burner will

switch off. Additional an audible fault signal will be heard.

The pumps stop when the burner switches off. The fuel still in the fire tray

will burn off in about 15 minutes and the fire will go out.

2.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION

All relevant national and European standards and local regulations (storage

and fire precautions, etc.) must be noted and observed when installing and

operating the ebios-fire. The following is a list of the relevant regulations

(without any claim to completeness). They refer only to operation in Ger-

many. In other countries the regulations that apply there must be observed.

BetrSichV Industrial Safety and Health Ordinance

Vbf Technical Rules for Flammable Fluids

BsV The fire protection requirements of the particular federal state

LBO State building regulations

GefStoffV Hazardous Substances Ordinance

The ebios-fire should only be installed in rooms and at locations where the

position, structural conditions and type of use will not create any hazards.

The floor area of the room where it is installed must be of such a type and

size that the ebios-fire can be correctly operated in accordance with the

regulations.

Only approved and sufficiently strong handling aids should be used to trans-

port your ebios-fire.

GB 7

There must be no fuel in the fire tray during transport.

DAMAGE IN TRANSIT Please contact your supplier without delay. Protect the

cover and visible parts of your fire from dirt and damage during installation

and transport.

We recommend that you keep a suitable fire extinguisher for liquid fires

handy (fire class B).

The ebios-fire Tower must be levelled horizontally and secured so that it

cannot tip.

2.4 INSTALLATION LOCATION

When choosing the installation location for your ebios-fire please ensure

the unit is not directly exposed to major heat sources such as radiators,

stoves, etc. and that it is not installed in a room where high temperatures

occur (e.g. a sauna).

Your ebios-fire must not be installed:

• In stairwells and landings, except in residential buildings with no more

than two flats

• In corridors accessible to the public

• In garages

• In rooms where highly flammable or explosive substances or m i x -

tures are processed, stored or manufactured in such quantities that

ignition or explosion would be hazardous.

• In poorly ventilated spaces

• In unsupervised areas accessible to the public

• In areas not sufficiently protected from cross-draughts

• On top (uninstalled) of tables, furniture, up against a wall, etc.

• Outdoors without a protection against weather and high humidity

When setting up the ethanol canisters (not in the Tower) it is important to

ensure that they cannot tip over. In addition, the design of the location must

ensure that it does not allow flammable gases to build up, it will contain any

escaping ethanol and it will prevent fire from spreading.

The floor on which the unit is placed must have sufficient load-bearing

capacity. If not, appropriate measures should be taken, e.g. using a board

to spread the load, in order to achieve the requisite safe loading capacity.

2.5 FIRE PRECAUTIONS

Do not place any flammable objects, such as decorations, clothing, etc., in

the radiant area. A minimum distance of 1,000 mm must be maintained

from flammable building components, furniture, decorations or curtains at

the sides to protect them properly from heat. The space above the fire

must be clear of all objects, all the way up to the ceiling (ceiling clearance

1,500 mm)!

2.6 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

Your ebios-fire draws the air it needs to burn from the room in which it is

installed (non-room air sealed). You must ensure that the room where the

fire is installed has an adequate supply of fresh air. If the windows and

doors are sealed (for example, for energy-saving reasons) it may be the

case that an adequate fresh air supply cannot be guaranteed. That is why it

is essential that you note the required air change rate and comply with the

room sizes indicated. Otherwise, your well-being (headaches, poor concen-

tration) and, possibly, your safety may be compromised or the fire may not

burn properly. For protection from these hazards you can purchase devices

in specialist shops similar to a smoke alarm that warn you when exces-

sive carbon dioxide concentrations occur. Air quality indicators that analyse

carbon dioxide concentration as well as temperature are also advisable.

Open a window to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read these Installation and Operating Instructions through carefully before

installing or operating your ebios-fire.

Please note all fire precautions and dangerous goods provisions!

3.1 GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION

• Young children, the elderly and the frail: As with all naked flames, a

guard (available from specialist dealers as an accessory) should be

used to protect the above. Risk of burns! Never leave such individuals

unsupervised near an ebios-fire when it is lit or when the fire has just

gone out. Please make them aware of this hazard

• Never place flammable objects on any part of the ebios-fire Tower.

Never dry washing on the unit. Racks for drying washing should always

be placed outside the radiant area of the fire (see 2.5 Fire Precau-

tions). Fire hazard

min. 1000 mm

min. 1500 mm

GB 9

• The burning process releases thermal energy which heats up the

burner, the housing surfaces and the glass windows. Do not touch!

Risk of burns

• Never leave the fire unsupervised when lit!

• We recommend that you open a window whenever the fire is in use.

• Operating more than one decorative ethanol fireplace at the same

time is permissible only if the fuel throughput of all the units does not

exceed the permitted value according to local regulations. Adequate

ventilation must also be ensured. For more information please refer to

the table under Technical Data 2.2.

• Modifications to ebios-fire units are not permissible.

• This is a decorative fireplace for home use which is not designed for

heating and is not intended for continuous operation. It should never-

theless be noted that heat is produced as a by-product of combustion.

That can increase the heat in the room where the fire is used.

• If the burner is not going to be used for some time we recommend that

you close the ethanol canister by screwing on the lid and remove the

mains adaptor from the socket outlet.

• NEVER fill the burner by pouring in fuel at the side or on top - DANGER

TO LIFE!

• Handling fuel near the unit when lit or while still hot is dangerous and

must be avoided. Please remember that a static charge is enough to

create a spark which can ignite the fuel.

• Any accidental spills of ethanol should be cleared up straight away –

before lighting the burner

• The burner is suitable for indoor use only. It must not be used out of

doors or in a draughty place.

• The burner may only be operated within an ambient temperature range

of +13°C to +35°C.

• High atmospheric humidity and condensation forming on the burner

may interfere with its operation. In that case, switch the unit off if lit,

or do not use it.

• You should bear in mind that the brightness of the flame can dim to

a level at which the flame is no longer clearly visible. Please make

children and other people in the home aware of this.

• Do not smoke when handling fuel or the ebios-fire.

Failure to follow these basic rules can result in uncontrolled ignition

and even an explosion!

3.2 FUEL

The fuel used is bioethanol (chemical formula C2H6O) with a 96% ethanol

content. You can purchase the fuel from your specialist dealer. The fuel is a

hazardous substance according to ADR: Class 3 PG II, UN 1170.

Never use any other type of fuel, such as petrol, spirit or flammable fluids.

Do not mix fuels together or mix fuel with other substances. The burners

must only be operated with the fuel that we specify. Otherwise, the warranty

will be voided and operating the unit may be unsafe or dangerous.

GB 10

Ethanol is a highly flammable fluid which must be stored in a tightly closed

container in a cool place, protected from light and kept away from sources

of ignition. Please remember that a static charge can create a spark. It is

permissible to store up to 5 litres in the living-room and up to 20 litres in

the basement*. Keep bioethanol out of the reach of children.

Please note that ethanol is intended only for burning - it is not a food

product. Keep children safe! If ethanol is swallowed, seek medical treatment

without delay. Show the doctor the label from the fuel canister.

* (Source: Hazardous Substances Information Data Sheet published by the Association of the Raw Materials

and Chemical Industry; also Technical Rules for Flammable Fluids 20)

3.3 USING THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME

The ebios-fire-Tower is supplied with the fuel feed lines empty, to prevent

any leakage or evaporation of ethanol in transit.

Important notes when using the unit for the first time:

• The cut-outs at the bottom of the burner housing must be left open. They

must not be closed off or restricted. These are the air inlets.

• Check all the feed line connections to make sure the hose clip is cor-

rectly positioned. It should not be possible to detach the fuel lines from

the nozzles with a gentle pull.

• Check all the feed line connections to make sure the hose clip is cor-

rectly positioned. It should not be possible to detach the fuel lines from

the nozzles with a gentle pull.

• The unit should only be plugged into a socket that has been installed by

a qualified electrician.

3.3.1 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

1. First of all, place the glass tubes on the burner, then place the glass

panel with the glass holders onto the glass tubes.

2. Now remove the cap from the full

ethanol canisters. Then screw the

filler adapter to the container (Fig.

2). The end of the hose with the

metallic suction grommet should

be located on the base of the

canister to ensure that the con-

tainer can be drained as much as

possible.

3. Then connect the small round

low-voltage connector on the

charger to the appropriate bush-

ing behind the flap. The con-

nector only fits into its intended

bushing (Fig. 3).

4. Only operational with rechargeable battery loaded. The charge status of

the accumulator is shown on the indicator on the charger.
