How do I light an ethanol fireplace?
To start a fire in the ethanol fireplace, you must light the fuel in the combustion chamber. Our liquid Gala Ethanol consists of 96.6 percent vegetable-derived alcohol and is non-toxic, but also extremely flammable. For your own safety, careful use of fuel should be a top priority. You should therefore keep your distance from the ethanol when lighting the fireplace and use a stick lighter or a long match. As soon as the ethanol burns, the fireplace heats up to its operating temperature in a matter of minutes. A safety burner is strongly recommended as it cannot cause deflagration.

FAQ
How warm does an ethanol fireplace get?
How much heat an ethanol fireplace gives off depends on its ethanol consumption. The chimneys produce a maximum of eight kilowatts of heat output per hour, most devices are around three kilowatts. Fireplaces operated with ethanol are not suitable as heating, therefore one should not speak of a heating output. Since they remove oxygen from the air, the room must be ventilated from time to time while a fire is burning in the fireplace. Apartments with ventilation systems and heat exchangers are an exception.

Which ethanol for the ethanol fireplace?
Here, too, we definitely recommend a high-quality ethanol from a specialist dealer, because cheap products often contain harmful additives that can also develop unpleasant smells when burned. You must find out which ethanol is suitable for your ethanol fireplace in the operating instructions for the fireplace.

In this regard, it is essential to observe the information provided by the fireplace manufacturer on the prescribed fuel.
