3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read these installation and operating instructions carefully before installing
and starting up your ebios-fire. All items are to be removed from the ebios-
fire furniture (except the burner unit).
Please follow the regulations for fire protection and dangerous goods
3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ON OPERATION
• Small children, elderly or infirm persons: As is the case with all open
flames, it is expedient that you attach a protective fixture (available from
specialist dealers) for these groups of persons.
Risk of burns!
Never
leave these groups of persons unattended near an ebios-fire when a fire
is burning or has just been extinguished! Make these individuals award
of these risks.
• No combustible objects may be placed or laid on the free surfaces of the
ebios-fire. Do not place items of clothing on the ebios-fire furniture to
dry. Racks for drying clothing may only be placed outside the radiation
area (Fig. 4)!
Fire risk!
• Thermal energy is released during the combustion process which causes
the burner, the housing surfaces, the glass panes (depending on the
model) and the protective glass panes to heat up. It is not permitted to
touch these items without taking the necessary precautions (e.g., heat-
resistant glove).
Risk of burns!
• Never leave the fire unattended whilst it is alight!
2.7 FIRE PRECAUTIONS
In order to guarantee sufficient thermal insulation, there must be a mini-
mum distance of 300 mm (see Fig. 4) to flammable components, furniture,
decorations and curtains! There must be no objects between the ebios-fire
furniture and room ceiling (distance to the ceiling > 1000 mm)!
2.8 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
Your ebios-fire draws its combustion air from the room in which it is
installed (dependent on indoor air). It must be ensured that there is a
sufficient supply of fresh air to the room in which the fire is installed. It is
possible that there is not a sufficient supply of fresh air if the windows and
doors are sealed (e.g., in combination with energy saving measures). This
can compromise your well-being and, under certain circumstances, also
your safety and the combustion performance.
Open a window to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air.
