You also have a choice of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

This gives you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
