• Should you accidentally spill ethanol, clean this up immediately and
before lighting the burner!
• Please note that the luminosity of the flame can decrease to such an
extent that the flame is no longer clearly visible. Make children and
others in the home aware of this.

= 1 hour!
• Do not smoke when handling fuel and operating the ebios-fire.
Failure to follow these basic rules can result in uncontrolled ignition or even

3.2 FUEL
Bioethanol (chemical formula C2H6O) with an ethanol content of 96.6% is
used as the fuel. This can be purchased from specialist dealers. It is a
dangerous substance as per ADR: Class 3 PG II, UN 1170.
Under no circumstances should other fuels such as petrol, spirit or similar
flammable liquids be used. Do not mix the fuels together or with other
substances. The burners may only be operated using the prescribed fuel
(96.6% degree of purity) otherwise the warranty will be rendered void and
the device may be unsafe or dangerous to operate.
Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid which must be stored well sealed, pro-
tected from light and away from sources of fire. It is permitted to store max.
5 l in the living space and max. 20 l in the cellar. Keep bioethanol out of
the reach of children. For your safety only fill the burner just before use to
prevent it from being ignited unintentionally or by unauthorised persons and
to also stop the fuel from evaporating.
Please note that ethanol is used exclusively for combustion and it not suit-
able for consumption. Supervise your children! If swallowed consult a doctor
immediately and present the fuel label
