Easy installation

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work similar to a fireplace, except that you’ll require matches or lighters to light the flames.
When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it’s important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don’t cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.

No Flu

After you’ve used your bio ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don’t the ethanol will vaporize and you’ll need to start over.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.
Maintenance is easy
The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.
The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily removed with the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and ensuring that it is kept away from any flammable items or other equipment.

Do not pour any fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it since it’s extremely hot.
