Smart Flame Burner Collection
Bio Flame 96-Inch SmartFlame Remote-Controlled Bioethanol Burner with WiFi, Alexa & Google Home
The Bio Flame 96-Inch SmartFlame Remote Control Burner is a large-format, automated bioethanol burner designed for custom residential and commercial fireplace installations. It combines a 96-inch architectural flame presentation with remote operation, built-in WiFi, app control, an automatic refill system, six adjustable flame levels, and advanced safety sensors.
Because it burns bioethanol fuel, the burner does not require a chimney, permanent flue, vent pipe, or gas line. Standard electrical power is required for its electronic controls, ignition system, fuel pump, sensors, WiFi functions, and automatic refill operation.

Ventless Operation and Room Ventilation
This burner does not require a chimney, permanent flue, or vent pipe. Ventless operation does not eliminate the need for adequate room ventilation.
Minimum Room Size
The documented minimum room size for one 96-inch burner is 102 m². Do not install or operate the burner in a smaller enclosed space.
Do not operate the burner in a room where oxygen tanks are in use or where flammable vapors are present. Keep fuel containers away from the appliance and all ignition sources.
Automatic and Manual Fuel Filling
Automatic Filling
- Connect the burner to its power supply.
- Open the fuel door on the front right side.
- Connect the filling hose to the burner and fuel container.
- Press the illuminated fill button.
- Allow the system to stop automatically when filling is complete.
- Remove the hose carefully and clean any spilled fuel.
- Close the fuel door before ignition.
Manual Filling
- Open the fuel door.
- Remove the fuel-fill cap.
- Use a suitable funnel to add approved bioethanol fuel.
- Stop filling when the fill indicator switches off.
- Remove the funnel carefully and clean any spills.
- Replace the cap and close the fuel door.
Never refuel a hot or operating burner. Confirm that the flame is extinguished, the fuel chamber is empty when required, and the burner has cooled completely before refilling.
Operating the SmartFlame Burner
Read the complete installation and user manual before first use. The burner uses powered ignition, controlled fuel delivery, flame adjustment, and a timed cool-down safety feature.
Ignition
The operating instructions require a two-stage power-button sequence. Do not press the power button a third time during the initial start procedure.
Flame Adjustment
After the flame extends across the combustion tray, use the up or down controls on the burner or remote to select the desired flame setting.
Shutdown
Press the power button once to stop the fuel pump. Residual fuel in the combustion tray continues burning for several minutes before the flame extinguishes.
The burner includes a ten-minute safety delay after shutdown. Do not attempt immediate restart while the burner is completing its cool-down sequence.

Care and Maintenance
Bioethanol does not leave the same ash and solid residue associated with wood-burning fireplaces, but the burner still requires routine cleaning and inspection.
Recommended Cleaning
- Turn the burner off and allow it to cool completely
- Confirm that no fuel remains where cleaning is required
- Use a soft, damp cloth on exterior surfaces
- Use a soft washing sponge on the burning chamber
- Clean at least monthly when the burner is used regularly
- Inspect beneath the burner for residual fuel
Do Not Use
- Steel wool
- Harsh or abrasive sponges
- Stainless-steel cleaning chemicals
- Excess water inside burner components
- Cleaning methods that contact or damage the fragile ignition rod
Heat staining around the burner opening is described by the manufacturer as a normal result of the heating process. Stainless-steel cleaning agents can leave residue and worsen the appearance.

What is the minimum room size for this burner?
The documented minimum room size is 102 m² per burner. Do not install it in a smaller enclosed room.
Can the burner be installed in a custom firebox?
It can be installed only in a level firebox made from suitable non-combustible materials and built to the documented dimensions and clearances.
What is the minimum firebox size for the 96-inch burner?
The product sheet states a minimum non-combustible firebox size of 104 inches wide, 20 inches high, and 15 inches deep.
Can the SmartFlame Burner be installed below a television?
The manual specifies at least 14 inches between the top of the firebox and the bottom of a recessed television. The complete installation must also meet all other clearance and material requirements.
Can the burner be installed outdoors?
The product specification identifies indoor and outdoor applications. Only use it where the installation meets all material, clearance, electrical, ventilation, and operating requirements.
Does the burner have automatic fuel filling?
Yes. The powered filling system transfers fuel through the supplied hose and stops automatically when filling is complete.
Can the burner also be filled manually?
Yes. Manual filling is permitted through the documented fill opening using a suitable funnel while the burner is off and completely cool.
Can decorative stones be placed over the burner opening?
No. Pebbles and refractory decorative media must not cover the burner mouth or interfere with the flame.

The pump stops delivering fuel, but fuel already in the combustion tray burns for several minutes. The burner then completes a ten-minute safety cool-down period before restart.
How often should the burner be cleaned?
Clean it at least monthly when used regularly. Only clean the burner after it is off, empty where required, and completely cool.
Can stainless-steel wool or harsh cleaner be used?
No. Use a soft damp cloth or soft sponge; steel wool and harsh stainless-steel cleaners can damage the surface and worsen heat staining.
What certifications does the burner have?
The supplied documentation identifies CE certification and testing to the EN 16647 standard.
