IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As per the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (GPSG) and our
statutory duty to notify, we would like to inform you about heating with this
product.
The Bio Chimney combustion heat at 0.5 litres / hour equates to approx.
3,300 W. The calorific value of 96% ethanol equates to approx. 29,600 kJ
/ kg. With fuel consumption of 0.5 l/h (approx. 0.4 kg/h) the heat released
is approx. 3,300 W.
However, the decorative fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air
when operated as otherwise the amount of carbon dioxide created exceeds
the permitted concentration in the room air.
As a rule, the fresh air supplied is cooler than the room air to be heated
up which results in a loss of energy. The effective heat output of a biofuel
fireplace is thus minimal and, as such, decorative fireplaces which use
biofuel are not sources of heat.
Rather these are merely decorative and are not intended for heating or
continuous operation. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that
heat is generated as a by-product of the combustion process. This can
cause increased heating in the room where the fireplace is installed. Read
the safety instructions and measures for rear ventilation carefully.
Please pay attention to the contents of this Operating Manual.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
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
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!
The ebios-fire must not be operated without supervision!
State-specific and local directives and regulations, in particular the fire
safety regulations of the German Federal State or the Association of Swiss
Canton Fire Insurance companies (VKF) must be complied with for the set-
up and operation of your ebios-fire.
Most ebios-fire units are inspected for compliance with DIN 4734-1 or DIN
EN 16647 standards. All devices incorporate state-of-the-art technology.
Ensure sufficient stability when setting up the fireplace and choose a loca-
tion where movement of the burner during operation as a result of impacts
etc. is ruled out.
All models may only be operated with the closed housing cover.
Please note that the fuel may not be refilled whilst the device is still warm
or burning. The device may ONLY be refilled via the filling opening and NOT
via the burner channel! (see Fig. 1) We recommend that you put out the
ebios-fire by running it until the fuel tank runs dry.
When not in use, the cover plates must always be placed over the
burner.
