ASSEMBLY

Attention: In order to prevent Bio-Ethanol from being inadvertently spilled on parts of the product or in its vicinity, never place the burner into the table fireplace when it is already filled.

1. Put the burner into the metal frame.
2. Put the glass plates into the designated slits.
3. Make sure the product is placed on a stable and level surface.
4. The surface must support a minimum of 10 kg. If it cannot support 10 kg, additional support is required.

Adding the Bio-Ethanol

1. Do not take out the fiber.
   
2. Use a funnel to pour the Bio-Ethanol into the burner.
   
3. When adding the Bio-Ethanol, please do not exceed the maximum sign in the burner.

Igniting the Bio-Ethanol

1. Ignite the burner, but be aware, deflagration or darting flames may occur. Do not light the fire from above; it should be lighted from the side. Keep a safe distance from the product.
2. The product can only be used in rooms of adequate size. The room size should amount to at least 66 m³ , which corresponds to floor space of 30 m 2 with a room height of 2,20 m.
3. Make sure that the product is not situated on heat-sensitive or flammable bases and that no accumulation of heat can occur on ceilings and walls. For this purpose, ensure the distance between the product and the room ceiling is at least 1,8 meters.
4. Please keep minimum distance of 1 meter away from any burnable material and objects.

Note: if the Bio-Ethanol in the burner could not be ignited after repeated attempts, it is possible that a significant portion of the alcohol has already evaporated; thereby reducing the ignitability. In such case, please wait for a few minutes and then dispose of the Bio-Ethanol, which is still in the burner. Dispose of this Bio-Ethanol at a collection point for hazardous substances.

Extinguishing the Bio-Ethanol

DO NOT EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH WATER!

It's best to use the burner until the Bio-Ethanol has been completely used up. This is the safest way to extinguish the product and it could avoid the smell of alcohol spreading in the room.

1. Place the fire killer directly on top of the burner opening in order to extinguish the fire.
2. Leave the burner opening closed and wait for the product to cool down; let it cool down for at least 30 minutes.
3. Dispose of the Bio-Ethanol, which is still in the burner. When disposing it, do not use wastewater ways (toilette, sink and the like); but dispose of it at a collection point for hazardous substances.

Adding more Bio-Ethanol

DO NOT ADD BIO-ETHANOL ONTO AN ACTIVE FIRE OR INTO THE BURNER WHEN THE PRODUCT IS STILL HOT!

1. Let the product cool down for at least 30 minutes with the burner closed, after the fire has been extinguished or the Bio-Ethanol has been used up completely as described in the paragraph "Extinguishing the Bio-Ethanol".
2. Refill the burner (as described in the paragraph "Adding the Bio-Ethanol")
3. Ignite the Bio-Ethanol (as described in the paragraph "Igniting the Bio- Ethanol")
4. Note: there may occur some gas in a Bio-Ethanol bottle which is used before. This gas can ignite when adding the Bio-Ethanol to a burner that is not cooled down.
