Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance ease

The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
