Installation Instructions

General

• The installation must also be in accordance with the relevant parts of local
and national building regulations.

• Soft furnishings, decorations and wall coverings etc. must not be placed
within 1.5 metres of the appliance and its outlets.

• This Fire Bowl was designed for use with Bio-Ethanol or Bio-Alcohol Fuel
which is a clear liquid Bio-Fuel. This is available from a number of sources.
This is the most cost effective way of using the Bowl.

• The Bowl can be used with Gel however the fuel bed stones must be
removed first and the running time will be greatly effected.

• Sooting: All fires are living flames and sooting can occur as a natural bi-
product of a living flame fire, this factor cannot be controlled or eliminated.

• Ventilation Requirements: Adequate ventilation should be available to
disperse any fumes and excess heat generated by the fire.

• Installation within an Enclosure: The Enclosure must be of an adequate
size and shape to ensure the safe operation of the fire with heat or flame
damage. The Enclosure Material must be made of flame retardant material
inline with Building Regulations. Great care must be taken in choosing the
enclosure.

• Running Times :

o Bio-Ethanol Liquid will burn for a longer time than Bio-Gel Fuel.
o The time can vary based on the make and style of fuel used.
o Typically:

 Bio-Ethanol [using the mini stones]

• 0.25ltr Approx Capacity

• Burn Time Approx 30 minutes

 Gel Fuel [Mini stones removed]

• 0.5ltr Approx Capacity

• Burn Time Approx 40 minutes

 The most cost effective way [per Litre] is bio-ethanol with the

mini stones.

• Ensure that the area designated for Gel Bowl is well ventilated

• Be aware of curtains etc. that could be blown towards the appliance.
