You can also choose between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning equipment. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner should be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have enough time to safely remove the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.
Ease of maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.
The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a an easy, clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is not too far from any fire-prone objects or supplies.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install, and certain models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame into the desired part of the room. You can also mount a remote control onto some designs to take full control from the comfort of your sofa.
A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you can still make use of the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.
When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until it has reached room temperature. Be careful when handling it since it is extremely hot.
