INSTALLATION

Install the bio-fuel canister only with the biofireplace already installed at the location of use. Keep the biofireplace at least 1 m away from all combustible materials and products. Before installing the biofireplace, make sure that the room it is to be used in has a sufficient natural ventilation system and no air supply grate is closed or otherwise obstructed. Do not use the biofireplace in rooms with an internal volume below 40 m3. More than one biofireplace can be used in a single room if their total fuel consumption does not exceed 0.6 l/h and sufficient additional ventilation is ensured. The ventilation should change the full air volume in the room at least once an hour.

The biofireplace for permanent built-in installation shall be attached on a flat or corner wall, or for drop-in installation in a wall recess made in a non combustible material or made of building boards (e.g. fire-rated drywall panels). Depending on the biofireplace model, its back panel may feature holes required for suspended installation or round holes for direct bolting to the installation substrate. The dedicated installation bolts and wall plugs are supplied with the product as required by its model. If the biofireplace has not been securely fastened in place, adjust the bolt tightening torque properly. The “Oscar” biofireplace must be fastened with the included installation rail. If the biofireplace is dropped into a wall recess, maintain the required gap between the biofireplace and its casing within the wall recess (10 mm minimum).

 

Standalone biofireplace do not require permanent fastening to any structural component. Some standalone product versions may require assembly before use. Tabletop biofireplace are standalone products which can be placed directly on furniture or wall shelves. Depending on the biofireplace model, it may have a glazing system included with a special base for the glass pane assembly.

 

REFUELLING AND IGNITION

Light the fire in the biofireplace once its installation has been completed. Do not refuel with the bio fuel when the biofireplace is burning. Do not light the fire in the product when hot. The bio-fuel canister will remain hot for up to 1 hour after the fire has died out. Inspect the bio-fuel canister for integrity and leaks every time before refuelling. The bio-fuel canister features a safety absorbing insert to prevent spilling the bio fuel if the biofireplace is tilted or falls to a side. Do not overfill beyond the maximum capacity shown by the MAX mark on the bio-fuel canister. Do not light the biofireplace if overfilled with the fuel. If the bio fuel is spilled, immediately wipe it off all surfaces with paper towel. Light the biofireplace with long fireplace matches or a fireplace lighter. The flames have the right colour and height after 15 minutes from lighting. The flame height depends on the ventilation of the room. The bio-fuel canisters with a sliding damper allow adjusting the flame height by moving the handle to set the sliding damper opening ratio. Adjust the flame height so that the top section of the biofireplace body is not exposed directly to fire. Keep a safe distance of 0.5 m minimum from the biofireplace when lit and burning. Depending on the model, the fuel consumption may vary from 0.2 l/h to 0.6 l/h.

 

EXTINGUISHING

To extinguish the flame in the biofireplace, operate the handle to close the sliding damper and isolate the air flow from the burner. Before re-lighting the biofireplace, wait for it to cool down to ambient temperature. Never put out the biofireplace with water or any liquid. If the spilled bio fuel is ignited, use a dry powder fire extinguisher or smother the fire with a nonflammable material. The biofireplace without a sliding damper are put out by isolating the air from the burner with a dedicated snuffer included with the product.

 

MAINTENANCE

Maintain the product only when it has been put out and cooled down. Clean the biofireplace frequently. Clean the installation parts and the bio-fuel canister with a damp cloth and a non- corrosive detergent suitable for the surface you clean. If the biofireplace has a glass pane, clean it with commercially available household glass cleaners.

LISÄTARVIKKEET

Ceramic wood for biofireplaces is a perfect decoration for both hanging and standing biofireplaces. They imitate different types of trees, in this case birch trees. Because during their operation, biofireplaces are close to fire, they are resistant to high temperatures. The decorative element should not block the burner. Placing the decoration in the flame can affect the formation of soot. Do not touch the decoration until it has cooled down, at least 30 minutes after switching off the burner. For safety reasons, do not use any other decoration material apart from the adapted accessories.
