A manual burner works exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

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

Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to properly put out the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns, it releases a small amount of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.
