An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel.

Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire is started by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is ignited using a long lighter.

Certain ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.

When you've finished using your bio-ethanol tabletop fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your ethonal fire, so you have enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By altering how much oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

When the fuel is burned, it produces a small amount of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.
