INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

ALCOHOL FIREPLACE

Type: Helios L

Manufacturer: EU Biokamin Co.

Appliance Power: 3 kW

Burn time: 1-6 hours depending on the type and setting of the torch

It is a product in which the fire is burning. For your safety please pay attention to the following:

When filling the fireplace never use a substance other than bio-ethanol (96%ethanol). When pouring,

always use a funnel.

Bio-alcohol - pour up to a maximum height of 0.5 - 1 cm from the top margin of the burner. For the

VENETO 28 (S) bio-alcohol burner, pour only from the middle margin; estimated max. 3.

Be careful not to spill the bio-ethanol fuel on the outside of the burner. In case this happens, make

sure you have wiped it off and cleaned it thoroughly. If any bio-ethanol is spilled outside the burner

DO NOT LIGHT. First, wipe the spilled bio-ethanol, dry it and only then can you ignite it. In the case

that the burner is slightly smoky or it is a little bit dirty after the flame burns away, the burner needs

to be cleaned after it cools down. In the event that the flame in the burner emits black smoke, it

means it is dirty, so after it cools down then it is advisable to clean it.

In the case that the fuel is cooler and does not light immediately, don't worry, continue the ignition

and it will light. After it catches fire, let it burn for about 15 minutes to warm up and stabilize the

evaporation rate and thus the burning will bring the flame to its intended height and heat intensity.

Never fill the burner with fuel while it is burning.

The fire in the burner should be allowed to burn so that the flame is yellow, then it is possible to

regulate the flame at the fireplace, where the control is enabled. If the burner is not sufficiently

heated and the flame isn't yellow, but burns with a blue flame, it means there is an incomplete

combustion of bio-ethanol. This has resulted from the release of an unburned portion of bio-ethanol

into the atmosphere, which creates an odor of the alcohol burning in the fireplace. The same is true

in the case when the burner has an insufficient quantity of bio-ethanol in the ignition. In this case it is

necessary to fill up the bio-ethanol to a maximum of 1 cm below the edge of the burner as specified

in the instructions.

Topping up the bio-ethanol inside the burner during the burning time is life threatening.

For some types of burners you may need to further regulate the extinguishing of the pilot light –

during a slower closing of the burner, the situation may happen that the flame doesn´t go out. In

this case it is necessary to re-open the burner and with a slightly quick motion turn down the cover

and hold it in a way so that the cover lifts a bit at its back side (like a rocking chair motion). This

situation is caused by the cap of the burner which has reasonable dilatation or expansion; meaning

the burning process preheats a lot so it works smoothly but doesn't always close properly after the

expansion; but when the pilot light doesn't go out, follow this step to put out the flame.

Page 2 If you want to re-ignite the fire immediately after the previous burning, you must first make sure that the fire burnt itself out and visually check that no impurities remain in the burner (it is necessary to clean the dirt off the burner when the fire goes out in order to avoid potential danger caused by burning debris because when pouring new bio-ethanol into the burner, foreign or internal debris can cause premature ignition of the new bio-ethanol, which in turn could cause injury or ignition of bio- ethanol filling before actually lighting it –...
Page 3 When the fireplace will burn continuously more than 4 hours, or you will use it before bedtime, you need to ventilate the room briefly but intensely. In case of fire, use a powder or foam extinguisher. If you do not have a fire extinguisher, use a wet cloth to extinguish.
Page 4 When handling the bio-ethanol you must not smoke or handle open fire or any heat appliances or exposed wires, do not eat or drink. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately. Avoid contact with skin. ATTENTION! Bio-alcohol itself is a 1st class flammable, a volatile substance and dangerous poison. Therefore, when handling, it is necessary to be very careful and to follow the safety rules as if handling for example cleaners, gasoline, alcohol, acetone, toluene, kerosene, solvents, etc.
