1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Young children, the elderly and the frail: As with all naked flames, a guard
should be used to protect the above. Risk of burns! Never leave such
individuals unsupervised near an ebios-fire when it is lit or when the fire
has just gone out. ebios-fires must always be operated under supervision!

Your ebios-fire should be installed and operated in accordance with the
relevant national and local regulations, in particular the fire safety regula­tions of the particular federal state or the fire protection regulations of the
VKF (Switzerland).

All ebios-fires are tested to DIN 4734 and are state of the art.

Please ensure sufficiently stable installation and select a location where
the burner cannot be shifted through impact or similar when in operation.

All models may only be operated with the enclosure cover closed.

Please note that the fuel may not be refilled whilst the device is still warm or
burning. The device may ONLY be refilled via the filling opening and NOT via
the burner channel! We recommend that you put out the ebios-fire by run­ning it until the fuel tank runs dry. When not in operation, the extinguishing
slide must be above the burner.

Only allow the device to be refilled by individuals who are familiar with the
safety instructions and who you have trained on its operation.

The ebios-fire is not a heater – it is a decorative fire.

Bio-ethanol is a hazardous material and may only be stored in quantities
allowed by the regulations:

Storage in basement: max. 20 litres
Storage in living area: max. 5 litres

2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please carefully read and note the following instructions. Remember that
bioethanol is a liquid fuel that can generate high temperatures when burned
and which is itself highly flammable. You should also bear in mind that the
brightness of the flame can dim to a level at which the flame is no longer
clearly visible. Please make children and other people in the home aware of
this. Failing to follow the installation and operating instructions can result in
dangerous situations and the possibility of explosive ignition of the fuel.

Correct installation and proper handling are essential to ensure safe, reliable
operation of your fire. The unit is not self-supporting. It must be installed as
per the instructions, ensuring it is horizontal. Never move the burner when the
unit is operating. The unit must be installed in such a way that it cannot be
knocked over or tilted. The fire should be installed and lit for the first time by
a Spartherm-authorised specialist.

2.4. INSTALLATION LOCATION

When choosing the installation location for your ebios-fire please ensure the
unit is not directly exposed to major heat sources such as radiators, stoves,
etc. and that it is not installed in a room where high temperatures occur
(e.g. a sauna). External heating of the ethanol fireplace while the appliance
is not being used, may lead to the escape of the fuel from the tank. The fuel
will escape from the burner channel into the overflow tray. In this case,
please remove the burner before ignition and empty the overflow tray.

Your ebios-fire may not be installed:

• In stairwells, except in residential buildings comprising no more than
two dwellings

• In publicly accessible corridors.

• In garages

• In areas where highly flammable or explosive substances or com-pounds
are processed, stored or manufactured in quantities constituting an
ignition or explosion hazard.

• In badly ventilated areas

• In unsupervised publicly accessible areas.

• In areas that are not protected against crossventilation.

• On tables, furniture, shelves etc.

2.5 INSTALLATION / ASSEMBLY

The ebios insert is a ready-to-use unit for fitting into a custom-made piece
of furniture (combustible materials) or a custom-built fireplace casing (non­combustible materials).

Custom-built fireplaces using the ebios insert do not require a flue.

The furniture or the fireplace casing containing the ebios insert must be
level and secured against tilting. Fix the wall unit to the wall and the free­standing unit to the wall or to the floor. Observe the safety distances (Figs. 8
and 9 Radiant range). Back vents must not be closed. Place the burner, with
its safety pan and cover plate, in the unit’s designated receptacle.

Ensure that free standing units are installed on adequate load bearing floors.
In other case appropriate measures must be taken (for example a plate for
load distribution) to ensure load bearing.

Please use appropriate fastening material (wall-plugs, screws etc.) for wall
mounting.

Modifications to the design or construction of the ebios insert are NOT
permissible.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Please study these Assembly and Operating Instructions carefully before
installing and operating your ebios-fire. Remove all items from the ebios­fire-Quadra Inside (except the burner unit).

Please observe the fire protection and hazardous materials regulations!

3.1 GENERAL NOTES ON OPERATION

• Infants, the elderly or infirm persons: As with all open flames, it is sensi­ble to fit a protective device (available as accessory at retail outlets) for
these groups of people Risk of burning! Never leave these people near
the burning or just extinguished ebios-fire without supervision! Please
point this source of danger out to these persons.

• Never place any flammable objects on the open surfaces of the ebios
insert. Do not place any items of washing on the ebios-fire unit for
drying. Position racks for drying clothes outside the radiating range only
(fig. 10 + 14)! Fire hazard!

• Burning releases thermal energy which heats up the burner, the enclo­sure surfaces, the glass panes (depending on model) and the protective
glass. Never touch any elements without appropriate protection (e.g.
heat protection gloves). Risk of burning!

• Never leave the fire unattended whilst it is burning!!

• With the Quadra Inside model, the enclosure covers must be closed and
the protective glass in place

Do not place any combustible objects, such as decorations, clothing, etc., in
the radiant area (300 mm) (see Fig. 8).

The space above the fire must be clear of all objects, all the way up to the
ceiling (ceiling clearance >600 mm) (see Fig. 9).

2.8 AIR SUPPLY FOR COMBUSTION

Your ebios-fire draws air for combustion from the installation room (depend­ent on ambient air). Ensure that the installation room has adequate fresh air
supply. Fresh air supply may be insufficient if windows and doors are sealed
(e.g. possible energy saving measures). This may affect your wellbeing and
possibly even your safety, or the burning behaviour of your ebios-fire. Open
a window for adequate fresh air supply.

Fig. 9

min. 15

GB

GB 15

• It is recommended to open a window during operation.

• The operation of more than one decorative ethanol fireplace is permitted
only provided the total fuel consumption of all the units does not exceed

0.5 l/h and ventilation is adequate. In this context, please observe the
table on Page 5 in Section 2.1. Technical data.

• The burner may only be operated using the burner mat and its wicks.
Changes to the number of wicks, the wick material or the burner mat
are prohibited.

• Any modifications to the ebios-fire units are prohibited

• This is a decorative fireplace for private household use - it is not intended
for heating or for continuous use! It must nevertheless be observed that
heat is generated as a by-product during burning (approx. 3 kW). This
may heat up the installation room.

• The tank should be empty and the cover plate should be on the burner
when it is not in use. The burners are intended to burn until the fuel tank
is empty. Fill in less fuel if you wish to enjoy the play of the flames for
a short period only. To shut down the unit prematurely, use the handling
rod to close the burner with the cover plate. Allow the burner to cool
down for at least 1 hour after extinguishing!

• The burner may NOT be filled when warm or burning and NOT via the
burner channel! DANGER TO LIFE!

• Handling of fuel near the hot or still burning unit poses considerable
risks and must be avoided at all costs!

• Fill the burner exclusively via the filler opening, never via the burner
channel! (see fig. 1)

• Should you accidentally spill ethanol, please remove this immediately
and before igniting the burner!

• Please be aware that the brightness of the flame may diminish until the
flame is no longer clearly visible. Point this out to children and other
persons in the household.

• Check that the burner is extinguished and has cooled down completely
(wait for at least 1 hour after extinguishing).

• Do not smoke when handling the fuel and the ebios-fire.

Non-observance of these basic rules may lead to uncontrolled ignition and
even explosion!

3.2 FUEL

The fuel used is “Bio-ethanol” (chemical formula C2H6O) with ethanol content
of 96%, available from your specialist dealer. It is classified as a hazardous
substance under ADR: Class 3 PG II, UN 1170.

Never use other fuels such as petrol, spirit or similar flammable liquids, or
mixtures of any kind. The warranty will be void and operation may be unsafe
unless the burners are operated exclusively with the prescribed fuel.

Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid which must be stored well-sealed,
protected against light and away from sources of ignition. It is permitted to
store a maximum of 5 litres and 20 litres in the living area and the base­ment resp. Store the Bio-ethanol out of the reach of children. For reasons
of safety and to avoid unintentional ignition by unauthorised persons or
evaporation of the fuel, only fill the burners shortly before use.

Please note that ethanol is exclusively suited for burning and is unsuitable
for consumption. Watch over your children! In case of ingestion, immediately
seek medical assistance and present the fuel label.

GB 16

3.3 INITIAL OPERATION

The ebios unit with the Quadra Inside is supplied with an empty burner to
avoid spilling or evaporation of ethanol during transport.

3.3.1 INITIAL OPERATION OF THE EBIOS INSERT

Proceed as follows:

1. Ensure an adequate air supply.

2. Check that the burner is extinguished and has cooled down completely
(wait for at least 1 hour after extinguishing).

3. There is no need to remove the burner from
the casing to fill it. Open the casing cover.
It may be necessary to remove the glass,
depending on how it is fitted. If the burner
is installed in a custom-built fireplace, the
burner should be removed from the casing to
fill it (the level indicator must be visible).

4. Check the content of the tank.

5. Ensure that the cover plate is on the burner and covers the burner mat.

6. Open the filler screw, using the key.

7. Place the funnel into the filler open­ing and add maximum 2.6 litres of
Bio-ethanol.

8. The fill level gauge indicates the maxi­mum permissible filling level. The maxi­mum filling level is reached when the
Bio-ethanol flows through the slots (see
arrow) into the reflector curve.

9. Take the bottle for wetting the burner. Insert the bottle neck into the tank
opening until submerged under the fuel. Squeeze the bottle for the air
to escape and release slowly again for the fuel to be drawn in. Wait until
the bottle returns to its original shape.

10. Close and tighten the filler screw, using
the key.

11. Close the enclosure cover of your fire feature
and ensure that the cover is not within range
of the flames but is evenly spaced from the
burner channel (see fig. 7). Then mount the
protective glass again.

12. Hook the handling rod into the cover
plate and remove same.

GB 18

13. With the filled bottle, wet the burner mat
with the fuel.

14. Put the bottle aside.

15. Wait for about 2 minutes before lighting, for the wicks to fully soak up
the ethanol.

16. Light the fire at the burner mat and step back from the flames. It may
take a few minutes for the flames to burn evenly.

Should you add too much fuel on occasion and should the burner overflow,
the ethanol will collect in the safety pan. Be sure to empty the safety pan
before lighting the burner. Clean the surface of the burner until it is dry and
completely free of ethanol.

Caution: Ethanol is highly flammable. Make sure there are no sources of
ignition nearby.

3.4 TOPPING UP WITH FUEL

The burner must NOT be filled when warm or burning and NOT via the
burner channel! LIFE THREATENING!

Wait at least 1 hour between extinguishing and refilling the burner!

Please also leave the possibly still hot protective glass on the unit during
this time! Risk of burning!

The burners are designed to burn until the fuel runs out. Fill in less fuel
if you wish to enjoy the play of the flames for a short period only. To shut
down the unit prematurely, use the handling rod to close the burner with
the cover plate.

Top up as follows:

1. Ensure an adequate air supply.

2. Check that the burner is extinguished and has cooled down completely
(wait for at least 1 hour after extinguishing).

3. There is no need to remove the burner from
the casing to fill it. Open the casing cover.
It may be necessary to remove the glass,
depending on how it is fitted. If the burner
is installed in a custom-built fireplace, the
burner should be removed from the casing to
fill it (the level indicator must be visible).

4. Check the content of the tank.

5. Ensure that the cover plate is on the burner
and covers the burner mat.

GB

GB 19

6. Open the filler screw, using the key

7. Place the funnel into the filler open­ing and add maximum 2.6 litres of
Bio-ethanol

8. The fill level gauge indicates the maxi­mum permissible filling level. The maxi­mum filling level is reached when the
Bio-ethanol flows through the slots (see
arrow) into the reflector curve.

Should you add too much fuel on occasion and should the burner overflow,
the ethanol will collect in the safety pan. Be sure to empty the safety pan
before lighting the burner. Clean the surface of the burner until it is dry and
completely free of ethanol.

Caution: Ethanol is highly combustible. There must be no sources of ignition
in the vicinity!

To light the burner, follow Steps 9-16 described under Section 3.3.1

3.5 SAFE SHUTDOWN

To shut down the unit prematurely, use the
handling rod to close the burner with the
cover plate. To do this, pick up the cover
plate with the handling rod and place it over
the burner channel.

4. CLEANING AND CARE

The ebios-fire Quadra Inside may only be cleaned when it is cold.

4.1 CLEANING OF TRIM COMPONENT

• Do not start cleaning before the unit has cooled down completely (wait
at least 1 hour)!

• Clean metal décor surfaces and trim components with a moist cloth (do
not use microfibre!).

• Clean glass surfaces with a conventional glass cleaner and a soft cloth
(do not use microfiber!).

• Clean stainless steel surfaces with a conventional stainless steel
cleaner. Use this in the brush direction only!

Regularly remove dust on and underneath the ebios-fire feature to prevent
possible burning or charring of the dust particles. This may soil the installa­tion area and surrounding objects

GB 20

5. MAINTENANCE / TROUBLESHOOTING

• The wicks and burner mat must be visually checked at regular intervals.
The material is easily damaged. Therefore, do not fold or bend or do
anything similar to the burner mat. Changing the burner mat or wicks
is prohibited.

• The burner mat must be replaced after about 800 operating hours
(equivalent to a total fuel consumption of approx. 490 l Bio-ethanol).
Please contact your specialist dealer in this respect.

• Use exclusively our original spare parts.

• The tank cap seal should be checked occasionally for cracks or brittle­ness and replaced, if necessary.

• Please contact your specialist dealer if you need advice
