Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs include this feature).
