Please read these instructions prior to
using your Ozflame™bio-fuel fireplace

Warnings

Bio-fuel (Methylated Spirits) is highly inflammable.

Handle the fuel with extreme caution and follow
all instructions carefully.

If possible, fill your burner in an outside location where
spillage will not be a hazard. Always use a funnel to
prevent spillage. An Ozflame™ model OZF 550 funnel
is recommended. In the event of spillage, wipe up all spilt
fuel and allow time for any excess fuel to evaporate before
lighting.

Only use bio-fuel (methylated spirits) in your burner. Store
your bio-fuel in a safe, ventilated, dry area away from the
fire and out of reach of children. Never smoke near burner
or fireplace. Do not put any foreign objects in the fireplace
particularly cigarette butts. Always store bio-fuel in a sealed
container designed for this purpose.

Do not ingest bio-fuel. If ingested or splashed in eyes, seek immediate medical attention. If fuel is spilt
on skin, wash off with soapy water.

First aid – For advice contact a doctor or Poisons information centre ­Australia phone [phone]

Do not add fuel while the fire is lit or the fire box is hot
and allow

at least 30 minutes

before adding fuel. Never
move the fire box or fireplace while the fire is lit. Do not
smoke while handling the fuel.

When lit, the fire box and surrounding area of the fireplace
will be hot. Do not touch these areas while fire is lit or for 30
minutes or more after the fire is extinguished. Also note that
when first lit or the fuel is running low the flame may not be
easily visible and caution is required.

B I O - F U E L F I R E P L A C E S

Children, animals and infirm persons should not be left
unattended near the fireplace when lit. Only adults who
have read instructions and are familiar with procedures
should add fuel or light or extinguish the fire.

Never place the burner or fireplace near flammable
objects such as clothing, curtains etc, or other flammable
materials etc. The following clearances are recommended
– 1 metre from any fabric (curtains etc) or flammable
material, 1.5 metres from ceilings, 40 cm from walls
(unless fireplace is designed to go against a wall or is wall
mounted). Models OZF100 & OZF105 are designed
for free-standing, indoor applications and can be located
against a wall.

As the fireplace consumes oxygen, there is a danger of suffocation, so the fireplace should be located
in a suitably sized room with adequate oxygen supply and fresh air. The first signs of lack of oxygen are
sudden fatigue and an impaired ability to concentrate.

It is important that there is adequate ventilation
while the fireplace is in operation. It is
recommended that either an outside window is left
slightly open or a door to an adjacent area is left
ajar whilst the fireplace is operating.

When used in outdoor or high draft locations, the
flame will become more erratic and extra caution
should be taken. Under these circumstances a
greater clearance area may be required. Also note
fuel consumption will be higher. Never blow onto
the naked flames.

A fire extinguisher and safety fire blanket should be kept close at hand for emergency use,
if required. In the event a fire occurs, alcohol resistant foam or carbon dioxide are suitable
extinguishing agents. Do not use water to put out the flames.

Fireplace location

Depending on your Ozflame™ model, the fireplace should be located in an appropriate position
where the fire will operate safely. Do not locate the fireplace near flammable materials such as
curtains. Read the warning section and allow the appropriate recommended clearances. Indoor
models can be operated in undercover outdoor locations but should not be left outdoors.
Outdoor models should be kept undercover when not in use. Your fireplace should be operated
in a well ventilated space at all times. Do not leave your fireplace unattended at any time.

Fuel

Only Bio ethanol (methylated spirits) with at least 95% alcohol content should be used.
The container should be marked with the international standard “Ethanol Solution UN 1170”.
This can be purchased from hardware stores, supermarkets etc in one, four and twenty litre
containers. The one litre containers are the easiest to use.

FIRST AID

– For advice, contact a doctor or poisons information centre

(Australia phone [phone]).

Filling the burner

We recommend that you remove the burner from the fireplace and fill it outdoors, to reduce
any spillage hazard. Fill the burner in the fireplace using a funnel. We recommend you use an
Ozflame™ funnel which is purpose designed to fit in all burner models and will make filling much
easier and safer. The funnel can be purchased as an accessory code OZF 550

Important:

• Fill the burner to a minimum of 1/3 capacity and a maximum of 2/3 full.

• Do not completely fill the burner.

• Do not fill the burner while it is still hot.

• Clean up all spillage before lighting.

Lighting the burner

Dip the slider handle into the fuel in the burner, remove it from the burner and holding it at arms
length, light the fuel on the handle, then lower it into the burner.

Do not position your face or

body above the burner when lighting. Do not light the burner directly with a cigarette lighter or

equivalent device.

We recommend you burn all the fuel in the burner rather than close the slider before all fuel is
used. Fuel level must be a minimum of 1/3 full before lighting.

For models with glass fitted on 4 sides, we recommend removing the front piece of glass while lighting
the flame to make it an easier and safer process. Add the piece of glass to the front of the fireplace
immediately after lighting the burner. After initial lighting of the burner, the flame may start as a small,
blue flame, however within several minutes it will increase to normal size and colour.

B I O - F U E L F I R E P L A C E S

Flame regulation and turning off

All models have a slide on the burner which can be opened or closed with the handle provided. The
slide will allow you to regulate the flame height which will also regulate fuel consumption. As with
lighting the fire, always operate the slide at arms length and do not position your head or body over
the burner.

Once the flame is out, do not open the burner for at least 30 minutes and do not
attempt to refill the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature.

Ideally allow the fuel to completely burn out and in this case it is not necessary to close the burner
when the flame is out. After several hours of burning, the burner slide may expand and become
slightly stiff to close. In this case, push the slide firmly and quickly and it will extinguish the flame. Make
sure there are no flames around the edges of the slide. If this occurs, push the slide firmly and quickly
closed again to extinguish all flames.

Maintenance

A small amount of carbon may form on the burner and this can be wiped off with a damp cloth. The
stainless steel burner and other stainless steel components should be cleaned with a good quality
stainless steel cleaning product such as 3M spray-on stainless steel cleaner. Note: after some use, the
heat generated by the flame may cause some discolouration of the stainless steel burner. If your
fireplace includes glass use a glass cleaner such as Windex. For the OZF 100 series fireplaces that have
a gloss enamel paint finish, use a good quality furniture polish such as Mr Sheen.

To turn off the flame, close the slide completely using the handle provided.
