IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ethanol Fuel - To avoid possible risk of explosion and injury: Always use Eco-Feu ethanol in the unit.
Never use gasoline or other types of combustible liquid or ethanol gel in the unit. Do not combine
ethanol with water, incense, fragrance, gel and other liquids or products. Never fill the burner
reservoir while it is operating, while a flame is visible or the unit is still very hot. Never store or
transport the ethanol fuel in a container other than its original plastic container or in a metal
container that is acceptable for use with ethanol in accordance with the Consumer Chemicals and
Containers Regulations 2001.
Storage of fuel - Store ethanol containers at room temperature in a secure and dry place out of
reach from children and pets. Store the ethanol away from an open flame and other heat sources.
Keep the ethanol container closed. As a safety precaution, do not store the ethanol container in the
living space where the Eco-Feu unit is installed or placed. Ethanol must be kept at room temperature
for optimal combustion.
Fuel warning - Do not ingest, inhale vapour and do not expose ethanol to skin; in case of ingestion,
inhalation or if irritation occurs, consult a physician or a Poison Control Centre and get immediate
medical attention.
Hot Surfaces - Keep children, pets, clothing and furniture away from the unit while it is burning since
it operates at hot temperatures. Keep in mind not to touch the protective glass and/or the burner
while it is operating or still hot.
