instruction manual & security advices for

decoration fire places of BFT (habee-Feuer) / 01.2007

Model: beebox
We congratulate for buying your „non-smoking-stove”

Introduction

Before using your stove for the first time, we would like to give you useful instructions and
security advice for the correct use of our product.

Your new “non-smoking stove” should only be placed on level, strong, and stable ground.
Please ensure that no flammable materials are near the stove. After removing the packaging,
as well as the lamination sheet, the stove is ready for use.

BFT decoration fire places guarantee a maximum standard of quality and security. However, it
is important to ensure that after reading the instruction manual, only responsible persons with
adequate ability handle the stove.

The BFT decoration fireplace is designed, as indicated, for decoration and the creation of a
comfortable atmosphere. The stove is not a heating stove and should not be used as a source
of heat in your home or the building in which the stove may be active.

It is not necessary to get a special permission for using the stove in normal accommodations.
Equally, while the stove must be placed away from flammable objects, it does not require a
stone hearth.

Please note: we advise you to limit usage of the stove to a maximum 8 hours per day. Heat
dissipation is a welcome effect, but not the main intention of the decoration fire place.

Starting your stove

Filling of the burning chamber

Open the door of your stove, behind the door your find the burning chamber. Open the burning
chamber completely with the stick you find enclosed in your stove equipment. You will find
the control unit to open and close the chamber on one site of the burning chamber.

Fill in the BFT biological fuel (bio-alcohol) in the cane (enclosed in the equipment), minimum
0,8 litres, maximum 1,0 litres.

Fill the alcohol carefully in the chamber. If you spill some fuel, please clean the stove with an
absorbent towel. The towel should be removed from the stove to avoid an inflammation.

Please note:

Never fill in more than 1,0 litres in the burning chamber. The fuel should be maximum 2
fingerbreadths under the upper edge of the burning chamber.

The fuel should never be stored above room temperature. When you start your stove, it
is possible that you have a little deflagration of the fuel. Please do not be concerned about
it, this is not dangerous for you because of the construction of the chamber. The cooler
the temperature at which you store the fuel, the less deflagration there will be.

Lighting the biological fuel (bio-alcohol)

Please use a lighter that has a minimum 10cm long lighting stick and simply light the
fuel/alcohol in the burning chamber.

Please note:

Be careful when lighting, it is important that the lighter has no physical contact with the
fuel, but that just the flame extends to the fuel. There should be distance of about 2-3cm
from the lighter to the fuel.

To avoid explosions due to the usage of improper lighters, we advice you to use only the
BFT lighter enclosed in your equipment.

Adjustment / consumption

With the control unit for opening and closing the chamber, you are also able to control and
adjust the size of the flame and consumption of fuel.

Please note:

When starting your stove, the burning chamber must be opened completely (control unit) to
allow maximum oxygen in the chamber. After 20 min. you can adjust the control to create the
flame size of your choice. Depending on the size of your stove, the consumption of the stove
lies between 0,2 and 0,4 litres per hour.

When you adjust the burning chamber, please note that the fire should always burn with a
yellow flame. Please avoid blue flames as they are excessively hot.

Drowning the fire / re-filling

If you would like to put out the fire please open the door of the stove slowly and close the
burning chamber completely with the control unit.

Important notice:

Due to an influx of fresh oxygen when opening the door, the flame could quickly grow or
leap. Danger – Fire hazard! It is important to open the door slowly in order to avoid any
drastic increase or fire hazard.

Attention !

Please never restart the fire just after putting it out!
Before using the stove again, it must be completely cooled. Wait a minimum of at least 60
minutes before restarting your stove.
