Five safety notes to enjoy ethanol fireplace warmth every year
Ethanol fireplaces are becoming more and more popular with families as a unique way to heat their homes. However, there are some key things to familiarise yourself with and follow in order to ensure safety during use. Choosing the right ethanol fuel
Before using an ethanol fireplace, it’s a good idea to make sure that you use industrial ethanol that is 95 to 97 per cent pure. Avoid fuels that contain additives or impurities to ensure safe and effective combustion.
Check the condition of your fireplace regularly
Every once in a while before, using your ethanol fireplace, carefully inspect the exterior and interior of the fireplace to ensure there are no wear and tear, leaks or other potential problems. If you notice any abnormalities, repair or replace parts promptly. Establish a safe area for use
Make sure the space around your ethanol fireplace is made of non-flammable materials and is properly ventilated. Pay attention to windows and hangings to make sure they cannot come into contact with flames.
Installation Location
If mounting to a wall, the wall must be strong enough to support the weight of the accessories and the fireplace; if the fireplace is on the floor, it must also be secured. Waiting for Cooling Before Extinguishing Fire
It is vital to wait for the ethanol fireplace to cool down sufficiently before shutting it down or extinguishing it, and to avoid any handling of the fireplace while it is still blazing hot to avoid accidental injury.
Only by familiarising yourself with the above can you ensure that you can enjoy the warmth of your ethanol fireplace safely and securely every year.
