The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners work similar to fireplaces wood, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs feature this). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it produces some soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.

Some models come with a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one.
