Generally, 2 litres of ethanol heat for 6 hours, if adjusted to the medium position of our burners. As
usually bioethanol fireplaces require no chimney or pipes, most of the heat generated by the
combustion of bioethanol stays on the room. This is another reason that makes the combustion of
bioethanol quite efficient.
What are the emissions resulting from the combustion of bioethanol?
From the combustion of bioethanol result: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). These are the same
products produced by our breathing, they are harmless substances.
However, it is recommended to keep a good ventilation to ensure a healthy level of oxygen.
Bioethanol releases smoke or smell?
The combustion of good quality ethanol does not release smoke or smell. Only there is a slight smell
once the combustion of ethanol ends and the flame is extinguished, which quickly dissipates into the air.
Is additional ventilation needed?
Additional ventilation is not required. It is only recommended that you keep one door or window open
to keep good ventilation of the space where your fireplace is installed.
Can I use a fuel other than bioethanol?
The choice and use of an inappropriate fuel contribute to an increased risk of accidents. Therefore, you
should only use the recommended fuel.
In addition to bioethanol, no other fuel should be used in your decorative fireplace. The use of an
inappropriate fuel may lead to emission of irritating gases or soot or even toxic gases that can harm
human health.
How should I store bioethanol?
Bioethanol should be stored in cool and dry places, away from any ignition source, away from children
and should not be exposed to sunlight.
Bioethanol is regulated by various standards around the world. Therefore, to ensure a safe handling and
use, as well as a storage recommended, you should be familiar and comply with the regulations.
