- Secure the burner before filling or ignition
- Use a spirit level to confirm that the burner and combustion tray are level
- Remove all packaging before installation and operation
Do Not Install
- Directly against combustible wall finishes or unsuitable heat-sensitive materials
- Beside curtains, fabrics, furniture, wallpaper, laminate, or veneer without required separation
- In a room smaller than the stated 90 m² minimum
- Where oxygen tanks or flammable vapors are present
- Before unused gas connections or pipelines in the area are disconnected and secured by a qualified professional

Fuel Requirements and Refilling
Approved Fuel
Use The Bio Flame bioethanol fuel or the alternative fuel identified in the manufacturer manual. Fuel must be intended for use in indoor ethanol fireplaces.
- Store fuel in its original container
- Keep stored fuel away from heat and ignition sources
- Follow all local fuel storage and handling requirements
- Allow the burner to cool completely before refilling
Never use gasoline. Do not add water to the bioethanol fuel. Diluting the fuel reduces flame performance and can cause fuel accumulation in the combustion chamber.
Automatic Filling Procedure
- Confirm that the burner is connected to its electrical power supply.
- Open the fuel door on the front right side of the burner.
- Connect the supplied filling hose to the fuel-tank nipple and place the other end in the fuel container.
- Press the blue illuminated filling button to begin the automatic fill cycle.
- Allow the system to stop automatically, then remove the hose carefully and wipe up any spill.
- Close the fuel door before starting the burner.
Manual Filling Option
Manual filling is supported through the designated fill opening and a funnel. Stop filling when the blue indicator beside the opening turns off, reinstall the cap, clean any spill, and close the fuel door before ignition.
Do not overfill. Filling beyond the maximum level can cause a malfunction and make the flame difficult to extinguish. Never refuel while the appliance is operating or hot.
Safety and Operating Requirements
Ten-Minute Safety Lockout
After shutdown, the burner enters a cooling period and must not be restarted for ten minutes.
Child Lock
The optional child-lock function is activated by default when the fireplace powers on and must be unlocked using the specified control sequence.
Fuel-Level Monitoring
The burner requires at least 2.8 liters of fuel to operate and provides diagnostic signals when the trigger level has not been reached.
Temperature Monitoring
Integrated temperature sensing supports operational protection and diagnostic feedback.
Automatic Fill Stop
The automatic filling system stops the filling process when the system determines that the appropriate level has been reached.
Audible Diagnostic Codes
Beep patterns and indicator lights communicate conditions including low fuel, sensor issues, overheating, pump faults, and filling conditions.
Never leave the flame unattended. Do not move the burner during operation, place combustible objects in the flame, use it for cooking, or operate a damaged or malfunctioning unit.
- Confirm that the unit is fully assembled and securely installed before operation
- Keep the flame opening clear of decorative media and obstructions
- Use only authorized accessories and tools
- Check periodically for residual fuel beneath the burner
- Allow spilled fuel to dry completely before relighting
- Empty all fuel before storing or transporting the burner
Basic Operation
- Confirm that the installation is complete, level, connected to power, and filled above the minimum fuel level.
- Press the power button once to initiate the burner electronics without starting the flame.
- Press the power button a second time when instructed to initiate the pilot and fuel flow.
- During initial use, allow approximately two minutes for the pilot to heat and fuel to enter the combustion tray.
- Once the flame spans the combustion tray, use the up or down control to select the desired flame level.
- Press the power button once to turn the burner off. Remaining fuel in the tray will continue burning for a few minutes.
- Wait the required ten-minute cooling period before attempting another ignition cycle.
Do not press the power button a third time during the initial ignition sequence. Follow the complete operating procedure in the supplied manual before first use.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Bioethanol combustion does not produce the ash and soot associated with a wood-burning fireplace, but periodic cleaning is still required to maintain the appearance and function of the burner.
Recommended Cleaning Method
- Turn the burner off and allow it to cool completely
- Confirm that no fuel remains in the area being serviced
- Use a soft damp cloth or microfiber cloth on exterior surfaces

Expert Product Recommendation
The Bio Flame 84-Inch SmartFlame burner is a strong fit for large architectural fireplace projects where visual scale, smart control, and the absence of a gas line or conventional chimney are major priorities. Its 84-inch width, automatic filling system, six flame settings, remote control, and built-in WiFi make it especially suitable for premium homes, hospitality interiors, and commercial feature installations.
It is not the correct choice for a small room, combustible enclosure, power-free installation, portable application, or primary heating system. Before ordering, verify the firebox dimensions, minimum 90 m² room requirement, electrical access, clearances, finish selection, and local requirements for bioethanol appliances and fuel storage.
