GENERAL OPERATION
Be sure to remove all wrapping, labels, stickers and packaging components around the unit and make
sure there are no flammable materials in close proximity prior to use.
Follow the directions in this Installation and Operation Manual at all times.
FUEL AND FILLING
CAUTION: NEVER fill the burner while it is still in operation, whether or not a flame is visible
or while the burner is still hot. Allow the burner to cool for 20 minutes after it has gone out or
has been put out before removing the protective glass, touching the unit or refilling.
CAUTION: Under some daylight conditions, the flame is barely visible or colourless when first
lit 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.
ONLY USE ECO-FEU SUPERIOR QUALITY BIO ETHANOL IN YOUR ECO-FEU UNIT
Before filling, make sure the burner is off. Do so by closing the shutter for 10 seconds prior to filling.
To facilitate the filling process, remove the protective glass and place it in a safe area.
Fill the burner compartment with Eco-Feu ethanol using the Easy-Pour Spout included with your unit.
Screw the Easy-Pour Spout to the ethanol container. Make sure the Easy-Pour Spout valve is in the
closed position. Place the tip of the spout directly inside the burner opening. Slowly, partially open
the valve and fill the burner right up to the maximum marker, making sure not to exceed the
maximum filling mark (MAX) indicated inside the burner. If the burner you have has a sponge inside,
be sure to fill slowly to ensure the fuel has time to soak into the sponge. As reference, the 43’’ burner
can fit up to 3.78L of fuel and the 27’’ Burner can fit up to 2.7L of fuel. It is not necessary to fill them
completely. Once the fuel level has reached just below the Max marker, close the valve. Slowly
remove the spout from inside the burner opening taking into consideration that there may be fuel left
in the pouring spout.
Once filled, put the protective glass back into position.
Any spilt ethanol fuel must be cleaned immediately with a dry absorbent cloth. After cleaning, wash
the absorbent cloth thoroughly with water to rinse off any ethanol residue.
In case of fuel spillage in the overflow container, remove the burner, wipe the overflow completely
with a dry absorbent cloth and replace the burner into the overflow container before lighting the unit.
By keeping the unit clean of any ethanol residue, it will prevent the ignition of residue outside of the
burner when it is lit.
Make sure the burner of the unit sits firmly inside the overflow container before lighting the unit.
Avoid any contact of ethanol to your skin or eyes. In case of skin or eye contact, flush the exposed
part thoroughly with cool water for 15 minutes. Avoid ingesting and directly inhaling. Seek immediate
medical attention or a Poison Control Centre if symptoms persist after contact with ethanol.
Make sure not to spill ethanol on carpets, lacquered floors, furniture, and other surfaces as ethanol
spills could cause surface discolouration and damage.
Keep the ethanol in its closed ethanol container.
