burner you should fill a smaller container with bioethanol and use this for pouring the liquid
into the burner using a funnel to avoid spillage. Alternatively, using a battery-driven pump has
proven helpful.
9. What is the burning duration of one litre of bioethanol?
Between 2-8 hours, depending on the model of fireplace, the room ventilation and setting of
the flame intensity.
10. Does the fireplace give off much heat when in use?
The heat efficiency of the decoflame
®
Atlantic Series fireplaces varies between 2-6 kW/h – of
which 100% remain indoors (compared to a traditional wood-burning fireplace). Nonetheless,
our fireplaces are designed mainly for decorative purposes - they should only be considered a
supplement
to any primary heating source.
11. Can paper and wood be used as fuels on the decoflame
®
fireplace?
No, you may
only
use bioethanol – we recommend of at least 96.5% purity - in the burner.
12. How can the flame be extinguished when the fireplace is lit?
Ideally, and as recommended, you allow
all
of the bioethanol in the burner to be burnt. Should
you extinguish the fire at a time when there is still bioethanol left in the burner, please
ONLY
use the following method for models
Atlantic, Atlantic Tower and Atlantic Twin
: place the hole
in handle supplied with your fireplace on the stud of the burner lid and slide the lid to a closed
position by pulling it towards you in
one decisive continuous
movement. If you wish to
extinguish your
Atlantic Wave
, please remove the magnetic lid from its position underneath
the burner and place it on top of the burner to extinguish the flames. Do not leave the lid there,
but place it back underneath the burner. You can close the burner later with the lid once it has
cooled down.
13. What shall I do if I have overfilled the burner?
DO NOT
light the burner! Lift the burner out of its safety chamber (wear rubber gloves and
reach into the burner opening grabbing its top plate) and empty part of the bioethanol into a
container (bucket, bowl or similar – you can discard it into the toilet or kitchen sink and flush it
away with water as it is only alcohol) until the burner is only filled up to the max. level
indicator. Dry off any bioethanol from the top and the outside of the burner. Then use kitchen
paper to dry off any liquid from the safety chamber. Re-insert the burner into the safety
chamber. Remove the rubber gloves and light the burner.
