Important: Upon lighting, the flame will be barely visible or colourless.
It will intensify and will reach its maximum within 20 minutes.
* NEVER REFILL WHILE THE UNIT IS BURNING AS THIS WOULD RESULT IS AN
EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAUTION: Under some daylight conditions, the flame is barely visible or
colourless when ignited or when the ethanol level in the burner is low.
Verify that the burner is completely extinguished before refilling. Follow
the safety precautions described in this Installation and Operation Manual.
When re-igniting a unit that has not been in operation for a day or more,
it is important to open the burner for 3 minutes to allow any residual
vapour to escape.
Do not light the unit when in the presence of an open flame, sparks or
ignition sources such as a cigarette, electric heaters or other such
sources;
Do not stand over the burner while lighting; always light the burner from
the side and never have any body parts over the opening of the burner;
Never blow air directly into the flame as it could cause a fire hazard;
As a safety precaution, place the ethanol container at a minimum distance
of 2m (6 1/2 ft.) from the unit prior to lighting it;
Use a long 28 cm (11in) lighter such as a BBQ Lighter to light the ethanol.
As a safety precaution, allow the burner to cool for 20 minutes before
refilling and before touching or removing the protective glass. Do not fill
when the burner is still very hot;
Never fill the burner over the indicated “MAX” filling mark.
Once in operation, do not touch the unit, the protective glass or the
burner.
These parts will get hot and can cause burns.
Extinguishing
CAUTION: * Never extinguish the ethanol flame with water - explosion hazard
*
Whenever possible, let the ethanol burn up until the flame goes out
naturally by running out of fuel;
Keep the protective glass in position.
To put out the flame, use the shutter control handle or shutter accessory
(depending on the model) supplied with the unit to cover the burner opening
completely.
When the unit is not in use, keep the shutter closed.
Emergency Measures
Appropriate Extinguishing Equipment: CO², foam, powder dry chemical
extinguisher such as type A-B-C dry chemical extinguisher;
