Safe use of a biofireplace

A biofireplace brings the atmosphere of a real fire to your home without a chimney or complicated installations. It is a safe and easy-to-use option, as long as you know the basics. In this guide, we will go through the most important safety instructions and tips to ensure a pleasant and carefree experience.

WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW

A biofireplace is an easy and impressive way to bring atmosphere to your home without a chimney and complicated installations. When used correctly, it is safe and reliable, but as with all fireplaces, safety starts with the right operating procedures. This guide brings together the most important things that every user should know.

How does a biofireplace work?

The biofireplace works by burning bioethanol, which is a clean-burning and odorless fuel. The combustion does not produce smoke, so there is no need for a chimney. It is easy to use: fill the fuel tank, light it and enjoy the atmosphere created by the flames.

RULES FOR SAFE USE

A biofireplace creates a wonderful, luxurious atmosphere of a living fire in any space. You can enjoy its use as long as all users are aware of the general dangers of fire.

  • Always carefully read the operating and safety instructions for the product you ordered. Biofireplaces may have product- or manufacturer-specific differences, even if the products appear similar.

  • Only fill the fuel tank when the stove is off and has cooled down . Pay attention to the upper filling mark.

  • Never add fuel during combustion. Bioethanol is a highly flammable liquid.

  • Only use high-quality bioethanol intended for biofireplaces.

  • Light the fireplace with a long-tipped lighter – never with matches.

  • Please also ensure that the biofireplace is only used under adult supervision.

  • Always extinguish the biofireplace with the designated extinguishing agent, which is supplied with the biofireplace.

  • Also instruct children about safety issues related to real fire. Of course, the most important things are not to put anything in the biofireplace that does not belong there or to touch the flame.

SUITABLE SPACE AND LOCATION

The biofireplace needs space around it. Avoid placing curtains, furniture or other flammable materials too close. Check the safety distances recommended by the manufacturer.

Good ventilation is important – for example, opening a window or circulating air through a supply air valve ensures fresh indoor air. Although biofires do not produce smoke, they do consume oxygen when burning.

Please also make sure that the normal safety equipment is in order. There is a working smoke alarm in the room and the location of the fire blanket is known to all users.

FILLING WITH BIOETHANOL

When adding bioethanol, please take care not to spill bioethanol over the tank. When filling, it is a good idea to use a funnel to dispense just the right amount of fuel. If bioethanol spills outside the tank, wipe it off immediately and also check that there are no bioethanol residues on your hands or clothes.

Bioethanol is a highly flammable fuel, and its incorrect or careless use may cause uncontrollable hazardous situations.

Many of our biofireplaces are designed so that if the tank is overfilled, the excess ethanol will drain into another tank, inside which the actual bioethanol tank is located; this way, the bioethanol will not spill onto other surfaces when overfilled, and will not pose a fire hazard.

In addition, the burners and combustion tanks are equipped with fiber wool, which helps to keep the ethanol in the tank. This reduces the risk of spillage if the stove is accidentally knocked over, for example.

SAFE HEAT

Using Lämpöstore biofireplaces is always completely safe as long as the operating and installation instructions are followed.

Most of our products are TÜV certified, so their safety when used correctly has already been ensured before the product is delivered to you. Most of our biofireplaces are also thermally insulated.

Just like with traditional fireplaces, it's always worth paying attention to safe use. Using common sense will give you peace of mind and allow you to enjoy your wonderful bio fireplace time and time again!
