Before purchasing there is a few items to remember, ensuring you have a fire extinguisher in your home is the first step and never leave unattended. Always ensure the burner is cool before refilling.

Setting up the burner

• Put the burner on a solid and level surface, where it will not be accidentally kicked or bumped.
• Keep the flame away from combustible materials, such as clothes or curtains.
• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher nearby.
• Always have the metal extinguisher provided nearby.
• Please keep away from children and pets.

Refuelling and lighting the burner

• Ensure the burner has had plenty of time to cool before attempting to move or refuel it.
• Never light a burner that has not been fully assembled or cooled.
• Use a kitchen lighter or a long barbecue match to light the burner.
• Always use the fuel we recommend and only bio-ethanol.
• Use a funnel when refilling to prevent spills. If a spill occurs before lighting, wipe it up immediately with paper towel, wash the area with water and wash your hands. Don’t use the burner until all fumes and traces of fuel have left the room.
• Store fuel in a separate room to the burner.

While the burner is in use

• Never leave the product unattended while in use, especially if there are children or pets around.
• Always maintain a safe distance of at least 1m from the burner while it is on.
• Extinguish the flame when leaving a room or before going to sleep.
• Make sure the flame is out and the burner has had plenty of time to cool before attempting to move or refuel it.
• Never throw anything combustible at the burner or into the flame.
• Never use the burner for cooking.
• Never use water on an ethanol fire. Water could spread the fire. In the case of an uncontrolled fire, use a powder extinguisher or fire blanket to smother the fire.

Some models have an open flame which can be difficult to see, particularly in daylight, and this creates a risk that someone may think the flame is extinguished and try to refuel or move the device while the flame is still lit. Ensure to use the flame extinguisher device when you’re finished, wait 5-10 seconds with the extinguisher completely over the opening to ensure the flame is completely out.

Where to buy ethanol?

You can buy bio-ethanol from local fireplace stores of BBQ (Weber) stores. You can also buy ethanol online and usually cheaper when you buy in bulk. We do provide initial ethanol for the first use, but then you will need to buy more to refill.

You can buy scentless or citronella Bio-ethanol which is perfect for Summer and Queensland homes. Closest store is Gold Coast Fireplace & BBQ Mega Centre
