General Information - Spartherm ebios-fire architecture SL Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

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 combustion heat of the Bio ebios-fire at 0.5 l/h is approx. 3,300 W. The
heating value of 96% ethanol is approx. 29,600 kJ/kg. With fuel consump-
tion 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 Bio ebios-
fire 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.
Observe these operating instructions.

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 per-
sons Risk of burns! Never leave these groups of persons unattended near
an 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.
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.
This model may only be operated when the housing cover is closed.
Please note that the fuel must not be refilled when the device is either warm
or alight. The device may ONLY be refilled via the filling opening and NOT via
the burner channel! (see Fig. 1) We recommend extinguishing the ebios-fire
by burning the fuel until the tank is empty. The cover plates must be placed
on the burner when it is not in operation.
Only allow the device to be refilled by individuals who are familiar with the
safety instructions and who you been trained on its operation.
The ebios-fire is not a heater but a decorative fire.
