IMPORTANT NOTE
Pursuant to the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (GPSG) and
our statutory duty to draw attention to the heat generated by this product,
please note the following:
Based on fuel consumption of 0.5 l/h the combustion heat generated by the
bioethanol fire is approx. 3,300 W.
The calorific value of 96% ethanol is approx. 29,600 kJ/kg. With a fuel
throughput of 0.5 l/h (approx. 0.4 kg/h) the heat released is approx. 3,300
W.
However, please note that a generous fresh air supply is necessary when
operating the decorative fireplace, as otherwise the carbon dioxide gen-
erated will exceed the permissible concentration in the ambient air. The
incoming fresh air is usually cooler than the ambient air to be heated,
resulting in a loss of energy. The effective heat output from a bioethanol
fire is thus very low, and so decorative fireplaces burning bioethanol are not
considered to be heating systems.
Your ebios-fire is a decorative fireplace not designed for heating and not
intended for continuous operation. It should nevertheless 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. Please read through the safety information
and rear ventilation information carefully.
Please note the information and warnings given in this operating
manual.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Small children, the old or infirm: as with all open flames it is sensible to fit a
protective device for these groups of people - Burn risk! Never allow these
people near the burning or just extinguished ebios-fire unsupervised! The
ebios-fire may only be operated under supervision!
All the respective national and local regulations and directives, particularly
the fire safety regulations of the Federal State and the merchandising fire
protection regulations where applicable, must be observed when installing
and operating your ebios-fire.
All ebios-fires are tested to DIN 4734 and are state of the art.
Please ensure sufficiently stable installation and select a location where
the burner cannot be shifted through impact or similar when in operation.
All models may only be operated with the enclosure cover closed.
Please note that the fuel may not be filled into a warm or burning unit. It may
NOT be filled via the burner channel but ONLY via the filler opening (see Ill.
1). We recommend allowing the ebios-fire to burn until the tank is empty.
The cover plates must be on the burner when it is not in operation.
Only allow persons who are familiar with the unit and the safety regulations
and who have been instructed in its operation to fill the tank.
