Top Safety Tips for Using a Bio Ethanol Tabletop Fireplace at Home

A bio ethanol tabletop fireplace is a beautiful addition to any interior, but like any type of fireplace, safety is essential. Bio ethanol is a clean and safe fuel, but it is still a flammable liquid. By following a few simple safety precautions, you can enjoy the warmth and atmosphere of your fireplace safely and with peace of mind.

Safety Tips

• Refill Only When the Fireplace Is Cool: Never refill your fireplace while it’s still burning or hot. Wait until it has fully cooled to avoid dangerous flare-ups.
• Use the Right Type of Fuel: Only use fireplace-grade bio ethanol. Avoid using spirits, alcohol, or other flammable liquids.
• Refill Carefully: Use a funnel or special filling bottle to avoid spills. Clean any spills before lighting.
• Keep Bio Ethanol Away from Children and Pets: Store safely in a cool, ventilated place, away from heat sources.
• Place the Fireplace on a Stable Surface: Ensure it stands firmly and is not near flammable materials like curtains or furniture.
• Extinguish the Flame Safely: Use the included lid or extinguishing plate. Never leave the flame unattended.
• Use in a Well-Ventilated Area: Even though it burns clean, ensure the room has good airflow to prevent CO₂ buildup.
• Be Aware of the Flame: The flame can be hard to see in daylight. Take extra care when lighting or extinguishing.
• Choose Certified Fireplaces: At Flaemme, we only sell fireplaces that meet strict safety standards like TÜV certification.
• Inspect Regularly: Check for cracks, wear, or damage. Do not use a damaged fireplace until it is repaired.
