This product may only be sold in combination with this user manual. In case of resale, the manual is always to be included. The Xaralyn bio ethanol burner can only be used by adults of age, who are competent and who have read and understood this user manual with safety instructions and guidelines. Please read this installation guide and user’s manual carefully before installing and using the fireplace. This fireplace contains no asbestos.

installation

A bioethanol fireplace can be placed anywhere, e.g. in a living room but also in a bedroom, kitchen or chalet. One of the advantages of bioethanol lireplace is that it can be easily placed and moved. If you redecorate, simply move your lireplace to another location. Besides, the cost of investment of a bioethanol fireplace is low, especially compared to traditional lireplaces and stoves. Besides atmosphere lireplaces also supply heat, sufficient for comfortable additional heating. The device is not designed to function as a primary heat source. Place the lireplace in a room with a minimum contents of 32m3 (WxLxH of the room). Make sure the room in which the lire is installed has sufficient ventilation possibilities. For the Serra/Corato this is 100cm2, this may be spread over several ventilation openings. The Riano is designed to be used in combination with for example surrounds Adra, Baza, and Elda. Before using the lire, carefully remove the protective film from the insert and the stainless steel burner.

installation Serra & Riano

• Remove the packaging and check if the lireplace is undamaged. Please contact your dealer if it is damaged.
• The bioethanol lire has to be mounted stably and steadily, using the supplied wall-brackets
• Carefully decide where the lire is to be mounted
• The wall-bracket is to be fixed horizontally. Use the supplied level.
• Attach the wall bracket to the back wall, possibly with the use of the supplied screws and plugs. The supplied plugs are only suitable for stone or concrete walls.
• Hang the lire on the wall bracket.
• Place the security hook on the bottom of the fire, use the supplied material. The security hook stands on a slight distance from the wall.
• Only mount the fire to a vertical, steady, stable and fireproof wall.
• The security hook stands on a slight distance from the wall.

Installation riano

• Remove the packaging and check if all parts of the fireplace are undamaged, if not please contact your dealer.
• Remove the L-shaped brackets on the sides of the fireplace.
• Place the insert into the opening of the surround. Attach the L-shaped brackets back to the sides of the insert, press firmly to the surround before securing the straps.
• Make sure the fire is levelled horizontally and that the back of the fire is placed parallel to the wall behind it (vertically). Due to the production of heat around the fire, the backwall can change in colour over time.

General

• Make sure that the wall/table/floor on which the bio ethanol burner is placed can carry its weight.
• The bio ethanol burner needs to be placed or hung on a heat resistant foundation or wall.
• Make sure that during installation the bio ethanol burner is levelled, both horizontally and vertically.
• This to make sure that liquid cannot flow out of the burner.
• Keep a safety distance of at least 50cm (from the left, right and front side of the burner) to objects.
• Keep flammable objects (e.g. curtains, furniture or bookshelves) away from the bio ethanol burner.
• Do not place the bio ethanol burner next to, underneath or on top of a windowsill. Risk of fire!
• Do not place the bio ethanol burner in a room with a constant high humidity level.
• Use the bio ethanol burner only in a draught-free room, otherwise soot can be formed.
• Make sure that all possible gas pipes near the burner are closed off.
• During use in closed spaces, enough ventilation has to be provided! In addition to carbon dioxide (CO2) an adequate supply of fresh air should be ensured (120 cm2 opening). There are requirements for the supply of fresh air quantity per type or burner. Take the minimum room size into account.
• The EN standard prescribes a maximum heating per room of 4.SKw. A higher Kw due to the use of multiple burners has not been investigated and is therefore at its own risk.

Installation in a Xaralyn surround

• Check the special instructions delivered with your surround.
• Do not hang the Xaralyn surround on a wall with wallpaper or plasterboard with paper, as discoloration may occur.
• When attaching to a wall, we advise keeping a safety distance of± 1 cm from the wall in order to ensure a natural flow of air.
• Never remove the isolation layer on the backside. Risk of fire!
• Do not put any flammable items on top of the appliance.
• After installation of the surround, the bio ethanol burner can be placed in its appropriate place.

Installation of the glass screens or decoration

• We advise you to use the enclosed glass screens. The glass screens can be installed on the burner with the supplied connectors. This prevents the flames from hitting the backside because of the airflow.
• Tighten the screws by hand and not too tight, because glass expands when heated. The use of two glass screens is only necessary when using a fireplace in a doubled-faced setting (without a closed backside).
• Xaralyn has developed special ceramic log sets, pebbles and basalt split for decoration purposes of the bio ethanol burner. Place these around the fire opening of the burner (the (white) ceramic element). The fire opening should be remained free. When decoration material is placed into the flames, unnecessary soot will be formed and an unsafe situation may arise.
• Do not use both the log set and/or pebbles at the same time with the glass screens. Risk of fire!
• When placing a bioethanol burner against a back wall (e.g.(wall)surround), make sure the flames burn vertically at all times. This can be created by using glass, a log set or pebbles.
• After use do not touch decoration material until it has cooled down for at least 30 minutes. Risk of burns!
• For safety reasons never use any other decoration material on top of the bio ethanol burner except the original Xaralyn ceramic log set or pebbles.
• In case the flames do hit the back, extinguish the fire immediately and check the service tool and FAQ’s on our website.

Caution: The temperature of the glass screens and decoration material can reach 90°-140°C and the top of the bio ethanol burner even 200°C when the burner is in use!

How to (re-)fill the bio ethanol burner

Xaralyn delivers its own unique fuel: Xaralyn bio ethanol CLlO0. Optimal use of the burner can only be guaranteed by using our bio ethanol. Never use another liquid or gel to fill or refill the bio ethanol burner, this may cause blockage or damage to the ceramic element on the inside of the burner, resulting in flames of poor quality. As a consequence, the warranty expires as well. Exceptions need to be agreed upon by Xaralyn.

Do not smoke while (re)filling or lighting the burner. Risk of explosion!

• Open the latch for one third, so the filling-opening is visible.
• Put the enclosed funnel in the filling-opening.
• Avoid physical contact with the bio ethanol, bio ethanol is highly flammable and should be handled with care.
• (Re )fill the bio ethanol burner carefully and slowly, so it cannot be overfilled.
• Pour the Xaralyn bio ethanol in the funnel until the ceramic brick is saturated.
• Make sure that the liquid level remains underneath the surface of the element: until the liquid remains visible in the opening and is not higher than the MAX sign.
• It is of great importance that the liquid never flows outside the filling opening.
• If the bio ethanol burner is overfilled, the excess fuel should be removed before lighting the bio ethanol burner.
• Spilled liquid is to be removed by using a soft absorbing cloth, and before lighting the bio ethanol burner.
• When the bio ethanol burner is filled, remove the funnel. You can now fully open the latch. The burner-opening is visible and the bio ethanol burner is ready for use.

Warning: Never refill a hot or warm bio ethanol burner. Risk of explosion! Wait at least 30 minutes for the Xaralyn burner to cool down before refill.

When the bio ethanol burner is filled with bioethanol for the first time, the ceramic element on the inside will be saturated completely. The liquid will always remain partly absorbed by the brick Therefore it is necessary to use more bioethanol the first time the burner is filled than the following times.

Lighting the bio ethanol burner

• By opening the latch the fire-opening with the ceramic brick becomes visible.
• The bio ethanol burner can now be lit by using a long lighter or a long matchstick.
• Warning: In case the flames hit the back of the insert extinguish the fire immediately and check the troubleshooting section and/or faqs on our website.
• Risk of fire! There should never be fire outside the fire-opening. This is dangerous and can also cause the insert to de-form and damage the paint of the insert.
• The flames cannot be adjusted by using the latch, this should always be completely open during usage to prevent damage to or bending of the latch.

Extinguish the bio ethanol burner

The bioethanol burner is to be extinguished using the latch. It is also possible to order a separate cover plate for this purpose. To prevent the bioethanol from evaporating, keep the latch closed when the burner is not in use.

Maintenance

When the bioethanol burner has been used very often, discolorations on the top can occur. This is normal and does not harm the quality of the product. Do not use an abrasive product for cleaning the insert. Clean the surfaces with a moist piece of cloth (black bio ethanol burners) or a non-abrasive stainless steel cleanser (stainless steel bio ethanol burners). Glass screens can be cleaned with a ceramic cooktop cleaner.
