3. OPERATING MANUAL
Read these installation and operating instructions carefully before installing
and starting up your ebios-fire. All objects must be removed from the ebios-
fire furniture (except for 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 for these
groups of persons (available as an accessory from specialist dealers)
Risk of burn injuries!
Never leave these groups of persons unattended
near the ebios-fire when a fire is burning or has just been extinguished!
Make these individuals aware 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)!
Risk of fires!
• 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 burn injuries!
• Never leave the fire unattended whilst it is alight!
• With all models (Elipse and Quadra), ensure that the housing covers are
closed and that the protective panes are inserted.
• It is recommended to open a window during operation.
• Several decorative ethanol fireplaces may only be operated if the fuel
consumption rate of all devices together does not exceed 0.5 l/h and if
additional measures are taken to ensure sufficient ventilation. In this
context, please observe the table on page 6, under item 2.1. Technical
data.
• The burner may only be operated with the burner mat and these wicks.
It is not permitted to change the number of wicks, the wick material or
the burner mat.
• The ebios-fire appliances must not be modified.
• This is merely a decorative fireplace for use in the home and is not
intended for heating or continuous operation! Nevertheless, it should
be taken into account that heat (approx. 3 kW) is generated as a by-
product of the combustion process. Amongst other things this can cause
increased heating in the room where the fireplace is installed.
• There should never be any fuel in the tank and the cover must always be
placed on the burner when the latter is not in use.
• The burners are designed for the fuel to be burnt until all gone. If you
only wish to enjoy the flames for a short period of time, use a corre-
spondingly smaller amount of fuel. If you wish to take the burner out of
operation prematurely, place the cover on the burner with the aid of the
grip stick. After shutting down the burner, always allow at least 1 hour
• The burner must NOT be filled when warm or alight and must NOT be
filled via the burner channel!
DANGER TO LIFE!
