Safely and efficiently filling your bioethanol fireplace: tips and precautions
A bioethanol fireplace brings both ambiance and warmth to your home. Since bio-ethanol is a highly flammable liquid, filling your bioethanol fireplace requires extra care to prevent spills. Spilled bioethanol can easily ignite once the fireplace is lit.
How to fill your bioethanol fireplace
Each bioethanol fireplace has its own filling method. If you have a Xaralyn fireplace, it's important to carefully read the user manual before starting. With Xaralyn burners, you use a funnel to accurately and spill-free fill the combustion chamber, making the process safe and straightforward.
Patented ceramic stone in Xaralyn burners
A unique feature of Xaralyn fireplaces is the use of ceramic stones in the burners. These ceramic stones absorb the bioethanol, ensuring the fuel burns evenly and the fireplace produces a stable, beautiful flame. Additionally, the ceramic stone prevents the bioethanol from leaking, enhancing safety.
Basic precautions for filling your Bioethanol fireplace
In addition to the specific method for Xaralyn fireplaces, there are some general precautions you should always follow:
- Never refill while burning: Never refill your bio-ethanol fireplace while it is still burning to avoid dangerous flare-ups.
- Allow the fireplace to cool: Ensure the fireplace is completely cooled down before refilling. This prevents unwanted flare-ups caused by invisible vapors.
- Wait before lighting after refilling: After refilling, wait at least 2 minutes before lighting the fireplace to allow any flammable vapors to dissipate. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.

What to do if you spill Bioethanol
If you spill fuel while filling, wipe up the spilled fuel immediately with a dry cloth and let it completely dry before lighting the burner. This prevents the spilled fuel from igniting.
Fill to the Maximum Fill Line
Never fill the burner beyond the maximum fill line. Overfilling can lead to higher temperatures and uncontrollable flames, making it difficult to extinguish.
