5 MAINTENANCE/TROUBLESHOOTING

• The wick and burner fleece must be visually inspected at regular inter-
vals. The material can be easily damaged. As such, the burner fleece
should not be folded, bent or similar. It is not permitted to change the
burner mat or wick.
• The burner mat must be replaced after approx. 380 service hours (corre-
sponds to a fuel throughput of around 190 l bioethanol). Please contact
your specialist dealer.
• Only use our original spare parts.
• The tank seal must be examined occasionally for cracks or brittleness
and should be replaced if necessary.
• Please contact your specialist dealer should you have any questions.
5.1 FURNITURE AND GLASS (DEPENDING ON THE
DESIGN) BECOMES SOOTED HEAVILY, RAPIDLY
AND UNEVENLY
If this did not occur from the very start, please check the following points:
• Has the correct fuel been used? (see 3.3).
• Cladding/cover correctly positioned? (see 2.5)

5.2 FIRE IS DIFFICULT TO IGNITE

If this did not occur from the very start, please check the following points:
• Is there fuel in the burner? (see 3.5)
• Have you wetted the ignition mats? (see 3.4)
• Has the correct fuel been used? (see 3.3).

5.3 UNPLEASANT ODOURS

• Fuel in a burner which is not in use? (see 3.1)
• Cover plate in position? (see 3.1)
• Fuel was spilt when filling the device? (see 3.5)

5.4 APPEARANCE OF FLAMES CHANGES

• Is the burner fleece damaged? (see 5)
• Has the correct fuel been used? (see 3.3).
• Were all safety distances observed? (3.2)
• Is the site of installation sufficiently ventilated? (2.7)
• Is the installation site protected from transverse ventilation? (2.4)
If the appearance of the flames changes noticeably, especially if the flames
begin to extend above the protective pane, stop using the device (see 3.6)
and notify the specialist dealer.

5.5 SPILT ETHANOL IGNITES

If spilt ethanol is ignited, attempt to put out the flames immediately. Use,
for example, foam fire extinguishers with alcohol-resistant foam or suitable
fire blankets. We recommend that such extinguishing agents be kept at the
ready. Should it not be possible to extinguish the fire rapidly, the fire service
must be notified immediately and their instructions followed.
