Each individual fireplace has a unique tank size. The larger the tank the longer the burn time. Manually controlled burners will go for between 4 – 8 hours, depending on the fireplace model. Digital e_ribbon burner can burn for up to longer depending on your chosen tank specification.

Maintaining the air quality in your room is essential so it is important to follow our room size guide. If you have air exchange in the form of air conditioning or open plan elements then you will be able to fit a longer fireplace than in our guide.
The MONTREAL/ORLANDO fire box has a unique are venting system that creates an air gap around the outside of the housing. This means that the fire box can be fitted into a stud wall with timber frame. Use pink plaster board such as Gyproc Fireline to prevent your wall cracking over time.

All decoflame® fireplace models are installed in a matter of minutes without any in-depth DIY knowledge. Just follow the fitting instructions in the manual. All decoflame® floor models come already pre-assembled and just need unpacking.
The only additional requisite needed is bioethanol, which is not included in the scope of delivery.
It is recommended to use either long fireplace matches or a long lighter to light the vapours in the burner.
Bioethanol should be nothing else but alcohol which is denatured, i.e. made unfit for human consumption. In comparison to gel, bioethanol burns clean and residue-free, not leaving unpleasant odours or fumes in your home. When burning, it dissolves into water and CO². Only use liquid bioethanol for decoflame® fireplaces which must have a purity of at least 96% but max. 97.5%.
The vapours of bioethanol consist of plain water and a bit of carbon dioxide. Harmful fumes are avoided by using decoflame® fireplaces with liquid bioethanol of a purity of 96 – 97.5% without placing any decorative items on or around the burner. Do not use bioethanol gel in decoflame® fireplaces. As a general note: gel fires should not be used indoors.
decoflame® bioethanol can be supplied in 1 litre bottles or 3 litre jerry cans. Pouring it into smaller jugs, using a pump or a funnel is advised in order to facilitate fuelling of your fireplace.
In between 4 –9 hours, depending on the decoflame® fireplace model, its burner size, the set flame intensity and the room ventilation. One litre of bioethanol generates around 7.2 kW/h.
Depending on the decoflame® fireplace model it can generate from 2 to 12 kW/h. Unlike other manufacturers a Decoflame fireplace will generate enough heat to make an impact and we will need to ensure the correct fireplace output is suitable for your room size.
All decoflame® bioethanol fireplaces are strictly to be fuelled with liquid bioethanol of 96% – max. 97.5% only.
Should you wish to extinguish the flame before the burner is empty, please close the burner opening with the tool provided. Depending on the model of fireplace, you either pull the slider lid towards you with the enclosed handle in one fast, continuous movement in order to snuff out the flames. Or you place the cover of the burner on top of the same in order to cover its opening completely. This cuts off oxygen supply and extinguishes the fire immediately. If you have the e_ribbon fireplace you can simply press the off button to shut down the fire.
All decoflame® fires are made of one or more of the following components: steel, stainless steel, aluminium and hardened glass. If powder-coated, the paint will be heat-resistant up to 400°C.
