An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace insert.

In addition, it's best to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Ease of maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it creates some soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable objects or supplies.
