Connecting electricity

In order to function, the device must be connected to power.

An adapter comes with your device: Input 100-240 volt 50/60 Hz and OUTPUT 12v / 7A or 12V / 10A.

If you want the device to be connected to a smart-home system, the device can be connected via its “Dry connection”

Warning: This connection is planned without polarity and electrical voltage (0 volts) and current (0A). If voltage is applied, the device’s motherboard will be damaged.

Filling the fuel tank

To open the fuel tank lid, press the left button on the LED display, after which the door will unlock and can be opened. (The right button is to turn on/off the flames).

Be aware

• Never fill the burner tray directly. ONLY fill bioethanol into the unit’s fuel tank via the tank opening.
• ONLY use bioethanol with an alcohol percentage between 95%-97.5%.
• Recommended fuel is bioethanol with 96.6% alcohol.
• Carefully refill bioethanol without spilling. For easier refilling, we recommend to use a funnel or pump.
• If the unit is too hot, the fuel tank lid will not open and an error message “TEMP” will appear on the display. Wait until the temperature drops and try again.
• After refilling the burner, close the bioethanol container and store it far from the fireplace.
• Stop filling when the maximum limit is reached. A loud BIP will sound from the device to indicate that the filling must stop.
• If bioethanol is spilled next to the fuel tank during filling, completely remove it before the burner is turned on.
• Make sure that there are no traces of bioethanol outside the tank lid before igniting the device.

For safety reasons, the fuel tank lid must be closed before the burner can be ignited. Before ignition, a safety system will check if the door is closed and lock it, so that it can not be opened again before the burner is turned off and have cooled down.
