of appropriate protection (e.g. insulated gloves) should be avoided at all
times.
Danger of burn injuries!
• While the fire is lit, never leave it unattended during the combustion
process!
• With the Quadra Inside, ensure that the housing covers are closed and
that the safety windows are fitted.
• During operation, it is advisable to open a window.
• Several decorative ethanol fireplaces may only be operated if the fuel
throughput of all the devices together does not exceed 0.5 l/h and if
measures to ensure sufficient ventilation have been taken. In this con-
text, please refer to the table on page 8, under point 2.1. Technical data.
• The burner must only be operated with the burner mat and these wicks.
No change in the number of wicks, the wick material or the burner mat
is permissible.
• No modifications to ebios-fire furniture items are permitted.
• This is a decorative fireplace used in private households, that is not
intended for heating, nor for continuous operation! Nonetheless, note
that during the combustion process, as a by-product, heat (approx. 6
kW) is generated. This can in some cases cause heating of the instal-
lation space.
• If the burner is not being used, there should never be any fuel in the tank
and the cover plate must be on the burner.
• The burners are intended to continue operating until all of the fuel is
used up. If you only wish to enjoy the flame pattern for a short time,
please will the unit with correspondingly less fuel.If you shut the equip-
ment down prematurely, seal the burner using the cover plate, with the
help of the ‚cold hand‘. After shutting down the burner, always allow at
least 1 hour for it to cool down!
• The burner must NOT be filled when hot or while burning and NOT via
the burner channel!
DANGER TO LIFE!
• Working with fuel near the hot or still lit equipment harbours substantial
risks and should be avoided at all costs!
• Only ever fill the burner through the filler aperture and never via the
burner channel (see Fig. 1)!
• In the event of ethanol getting spilled accidentally, please clean it up
immediately and before you light the burner!
• Please note that the lighting power of the flame can reduce to such a
point until the flame is no longer clearly visible. Draw the attention of
children and other people in the household to this fact.
• Minimum waiting time between shutting down the burner and refilling
it = 1 hour!
• Do not smoke when working with fuel and the ebios-fire.
Non-observance of these basic rules can lead to uncontrolled combustion,
and even to explosion!

content of 96%. You can source this from your specialty trader. This is a
hazardous substance as defined in ADR: Class 3 PG III, UN 1170.
Never use different fuels such as gasoline, methylated spirits or burning
fluids, and never mix these fuels together or with other substances. The
burners must always be operated with the specified fuel, failing which the
warranty cover is voided and you may obtain unsafe or even hazardous
operating characteristics.
