Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: genuine flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter.

It is important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start again.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired location of your room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace inserts from the comfort of your couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it while being capable of turning it off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol flame, make sure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is very hot.
