The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from pets and children.

Maintenance ease

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with the slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is pumped into the fire, you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it creates tiny amounts of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it is kept away from any items or materials that are flammable.
