10 Healthy Bio Ethanol Fireplace Habits

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring warmth to any room, without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines the fireplace will operate in a safe manner.

Installation is simple

All you have to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also select between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners operate the same as fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

They are perfect for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance or worry about.

Designs and styles

It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable temperature settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that let you attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it, and be capable of turning the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the fire as it is very hot.
