IMPORTANT INFORMATION

As per the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (GPSG) and our statutory duty to notify, we would like to inform you about heating with this product.

As per our statutory duty to notify, we would like to inform you about heating with this product: The Bio chimney combustion heat with:

• Quadra Inside I SL – 0.5 l / hr amounts to approx. 3300 Watts• Quadra Inside II SL – 1.0 l / hr amounts to approx. 6600 Watts• Quadra Inside III SL – 1.5 l / hrs measures approx. 9900 Watts

The calorific value of 96.6% ethanol equates to approx. 29,600 kJ / kg. With fuel consumption in the:

• Quadra Inside I SL (0.5 l/hr approx. 0.4 kg/hr) = heat released approx. 3300 Watts• Quadra Inside II SL (1.0 l/hr approx. 0.8 kg/hr = heat released approx. 6600 Watts• Quadra Inside III SL (1.5 l/hr approx. 0.8 kg/hr = heat released approx. 9900 Watts

However, the decorative fireplace requires a plentiful supply of fresh air when operated as otherwise the amount of carbon dioxide created exceeds the permitted concentration in the room air.

As a rule, the fresh air supplied is cooler than the room air to be heated up which results in a loss of energy. The effective heat output of a biofuel fireplace is thus minimal and, as such, decorative fireplaces which use biofuel are not sources of heat.

This is a decorative fireplace that is not intended for heating or continuous operation. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that heat is generated as a by-product of the combustion process. This can cause increased heating in the room where the fireplace is installed. Read the safety instructions and measures for rear ventilation carefully.

Observe these operating instructions.

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Small children, older or frail persons: As is the case with all heaters, it makes sense to install a safety device for these person groups. Danger of burn injuries! Never leave these groups of persons unattended near the stove when an ebios-fire is burning or has just been extinguished! The ebios-fire must not be operated without supervision!

State-specific and local directives and regulations, in particular the fire safety regulations of the German Federal State or the Association of Swiss Canton Fire Insurance companies (VKF) must be complied with for the set-up and operation of your ebios-fire.

The ebios-fire Quadra Inside units are tested in accordance with the very latest safety standards and represent state-of-the-art technology.

During installation, ensure that the stipulations in this installation manual are followed accurately. Select the installation location to assure compli-ance with the rear ventilation and fire safety measures described in this manual. The installation location must ensure that the burner does not move in response to jolts or similar events while it is operating.

The ebios-fire Quadra Inside is designed for bespoke or 'individual' instal-lations. The builder of the fireplace is responsible for complying with the stipulations governing operational and fire safety, and for checking this at the commissioning stage. (on this subject, refer to 4. Safety assessment)

All models may only be operated with the closed housing cover.

Please note that fuel must not be refilled while the appliance is still hot or while a fire is still burning. NEVER fill at the burner channel. Instead, ONLY refill it via the filling opening!

We recommend that you put out the ebios-fire by running it until the fuel tank runs dry. When not in use, the cover plates must always be placed over the burner.

Only permit people to fill the equipment with fuel who are familiar with the equipment and with the safety requirements, and who have received instructions from you in the operation of this appliance.

The ebios-fire is not a heater but a decorative fire.

Bioethanol is a dangerous substance and must only be stored in the speci-fied quantities as per the regulations:

Storage in a cellar: max. 20 litresStorage in the living room: max. 5 litres

1.1 SPECIAL NOTES ON INSTALLATION QUADRA INSIDE II SL & II I SL

Due to their design, the models Quadra Inside II & III are classified in Ger-many as heating appliances, and therefore as fireplaces for which official approval is required. Obtain advice in advance about construction legislation provisions and stipulations governing the installation of this heating appli-ance. Please direct any questions you may have to your district chimney sweep. In addition, national and European standards, the respective state-specific and local directives and regulations, in particular the respective firing installation ordinance must be followed.

3. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the information below carefully. Bear in mind that bioethanol is a liquid fuel which is highly flammable and which results in high local temperatures when burnt. Failure to comply with the instructions for instal-lation and operation can result in dangerous situations and even explosion of the fuel. Proper installation and handling ensure safe and reliable opera-tion. The device must not be able to tilt and must be positioned horizontally.

3.9 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

Your ebios-fire draws its combustion air from the room in which it is installed (dependent on indoor air). It must be ensured that there is a suf-ficient supply of fresh air to the room in which the fire is installed. It is possible that there is not a sufficient supply of fresh air if the windows and doors are sealed (e.g., in combination with energy saving measures). This can compromise your well-being and, under certain circumstances, also your safety and the combustion performance. Open a window to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air.

The temperatures in the area of direct radiant heat of a bespoke fireplace insert must not exceed 85°C to combustible components while tempera-tures on the burner tanks must not exceed 65°C through compliance with the rear ventilation measures.

Bespoke designs of fireplace inserts with integrated Quadra Inside ethanol burners must be checked prior to commissioning by the stove builder to assure their operational safety. For this, temperatures must be measured while in operation. For this, suitable contact thermometers or also digital laser temperature measuring devices (e.g. VOLTCRAFT® IR 900-30S infra-red thermometers with a measuring range of -50 to +900°C exist). Tem-peratures should be measured over a period of at least 6 hours.

For these measurements on fireplace inserts made of glass (e.g. room dividers in spa and wellness areas or restaurants, hotels etc.), appropriate measurement points should be attached with adhesive. Follow the instruc-tions in the manual for your temperature measuring appliance.

Ensure that the ethanol in the tank never reaches boiling temperature, i.e. the maximum temperature must be less than 65°C. That is particularly important.

4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ON OPERATION

• Small children, elderly or infirm persons: As is the case with all open flames, it is expedient that you attach a protective fixture for these groups of persons (available as an accessory from specialist dealers) Risk of burn injuries! Never leave these groups of persons unattended near the stove when an ebios-fire is burning or has just been extin-guished! Make these individuals aware of these risks.

• No combustible objects may be placed or laid on the free surfaces of the ebios-fire Quadra Inside. Do not place items of clothing on the furniture to dry. Racks for drying clothing may only be placed outside the radiation area (Figs. 16, 20 and 24)! Risk of fire!

• Thermal energy is released during the combustion process which causes the burner, the housing surfaces, the glass panes (depending on the model) and the protective glass panes to heat up. Do not attempt to touch these components without adequate protection (i.e. heat-resistant gloves). Danger of burn injuries!

• Never leave the fire unattended while it is lit!

• With Quadra Inside ensure that the housing apertures are closed and that the protective panes are mounted.

• It is recommended to open a window during operation.• Several decorative ethanol fireplaces may only be operated if the fuel

consumption rate of all devices together does not exceed 0.5 l/h and if additional measures are taken to ensure sufficient ventilation. In this context, please observe the Technical Data table, item 3.1.

GB 26

• The burner may only be operated with the burner fleece and these wicks. It is not permitted to change the number of wicks, the wick material or the burner fleece.

• The ebios-fire furniture must not be modified.• This is merely a decorative fireplace for use in the home and is not

intended for heating or continuous operation! Nevertheless, do bear in mind that heat is generated as a by-product of the combustion process with the: Quadra Inside I SL (approx. 3 kW) Quadra Inside II SL (approx. 6 kW) Quadra Inside III SL (approx. 6 kW) This can cause the installation room to heat up under certain circumstances.

• There should never be any fuel in the tank and the cover must always be placed on the burner when it is not in use.

• The burners are designed for the fuel to be burnt until all gone. If you only wish to enjoy the flames for a short period of time, use a corre-spondingly smaller amount of fuel. If you wish to take the burner out of operation at an earlier stage than normal, place the cover on the burner with the aid of the 'cold hand'. After shutting down the burner, always allow at least 1 hour

• The burner must NOT be filled when warm or alight and must NOT be filled via the burner channel! DANGER TO LIFE!

• The handling of fuel in the vicinity of the hot or burning appliance is associated with significant risks and is not permitted!

• Only fi l l the burner via the fi l l ing opening and never via the burner channel!

• Should you accidentally spill ethanol, clean this up immediately and before lighting the burner!

• Please note that the luminosity of the flame can decrease to such an extent that the flame is no longer clearly visible. Make children and others in the home aware of this.

• Minimum waiting time between extinguishing and refill ing the burner = 1 hour!

• Do not smoke when handling fuel and operating the ebios-fire.

Failure to follow these basic rules can result in uncontrolled ignition or even explosions!

4.2 FIRE PROTECTION

Please note: In the radiation area, see Figs. 10 and 14 (in the area of the flames/furniture) no flammable components and furniture are permitted within 1000 mm upwards and to the sides (only with ventilated radiation protection fitted on both sides).

There must be no flammable objects (decorations, clothing etc.) in the radiation area. In order to guarantee sufficient thermal insulation, there must be a minimum distance of 1000 mm to flammable components at the side, furniture, decorations and curtains! There must be no objects between the fireplace and room ceiling (distance to the ceiling >1000 mm)!

1000 mm

GB 27

4.3 FUEL

Bioethanol (chemical formula C2H

6O) with an ethanol content of 96.6% is

used as the fuel. This can be purchased from specialist dealers. This is a hazardous substance as defined by ADR: Class 3 PG III, UN 1170.

Under no circumstances should other fuels such as petrol, spirit or similar flammable liquids be used. Do not mix the fuels together or with other substances. The burners may only be operated using the prescribed fuel otherwise the warranty will be rendered void and the device may be unsafe or dangerous to operate.

Ethanol is a highly flammable liquid which must be stored well sealed, pro-tected from light and away from sources of fire. It is permitted to store max. 5 l in the living space and max. 20 l in the cellar. Keep bioethanol out of the reach of children. For your safety only fill the burner just before use to prevent it from being ignited unintentionally or by unauthorised persons and to also stop the fuel from evaporating.

Please note that ethanol is used exclusively for combustion and it not suit-able for consumption. Supervise your children! If swallowed consult a doctor immediately and present the fuel label.

4.4 COMMISSIONING

The ebios-fire Quadra Inside is supplied with an empty burner to prevent any ethanol from flowing out or evaporating during transit. Ensure (particularly before being put into use) that there is no fuel in the safety container.

4.4.1 COMMISSIONING OF THE QUADRA INSIDE SL

Proceed as follows:1. Ensure that the air supply is sufficient.2. Make sure that the burner has gone out and has cooled down fully

(minimum waiting time after being extinguished = 1 hour).3. The burner can remain in the housing when being

refil led. Open the housing cover. Depending on the installation situation, the protective panes may need to be removed. When being installed in a bespoke fire area (chimney system) the burner should be filled outside the housing (the level indi-cator must be clearly visible)

4. Check the tank content.5. Make sure that the cover plate is placed on the

burner and covers the burner fleece.

6. Use a wrench to open the filling screw.

7. Insert the funnel into the filling opening and pour a maximum of 2.6 l of bioethanol into each burner unit.

GB 28

8. The fill level indicator shows the maximum permitted fill level. The maximum fill level is reached when the bioethanol runs out of the slit (see arrow) into the reflector curve.

9. Take the bottle to wet the burner. Guide the bottle with the opening into the tank aper-ture until it reaches into the fuel. Press the bottle together so that the air escapes and the fuel is sucked up when it is released. Wait until the bottle returns to its original shape.

10. Seal the f i l l ing plug securely using the wrench.

11. Close the housing cover on the fireplace furniture unit and ensure that the cover does not extend into the f lame area and instead maintains a uniform distance from the burner channel. Then insert the protective panes.

12. Insert the cold hand to grip the cover plate and lift it off.

13. Wet the burner fleece with fuel using the bottle which has just been filled.

14. Put the bottle down to one side.15. Wait approx. 2 minutes before igniting the fire to allow the wick to be

fully saturated with ethanol.16. Ignite the fire on the burner fleece and step back from the flames. It may

take a few minutes until uniform flames appear.

Should you ever pour in too much fuel and cause the burner to overflow, the ethanol collects in the safety container. Empty this immediately and before lighting the burner. Clean the surface of the burner until it is dry and completely free of ethanol.

Caution: Ethanol is highly combustible. There must be no sources of igni-tion in the vicinity!

GB

GB 29

4.4.2 REFILLING THE BURNER

• The burner must NOT be filled when warm or alight and must NOT be filled via the burner channel! DANGER TO LIFE!

• Minimum waiting time between extinguishing and refill ing the burner = 1 hour!

• Please also leave the protective panes which may still be hot on the device during this time! Danger of burn injuries!

• The burners are designed for the fuel to be burnt until all gone. If you only wish to enjoy the flames for a short period of time, use a cor-respondingly smaller amount of fuel. If you wish to take the burner out of operation prematurely, place the cover on the burner with the aid of the grip stick.

Proceed as follows to refill:1. Ensure that the air supply is sufficient.2. Make sure that the burner has gone out and has cooled down fully

(minimum waiting time after being extinguished = 1 hour).

3. The burner can remain in the housing when being refil led. Open the housing cover. Depending on the instal lation situation, the protective panes may need to be removed. When being installed in a bespoke fire area (chimney system), the burner should be filled outside the housing (level indica-tor should be clearly visible).

4. Check the tank content.

5. Make sure that the cover plate is placed on the burner and covers the burner fleece.

6. Use a wrench to open the filling screw.

7. Insert the funnel into the filling opening and pour in a maximum of 2.6 l of bioethanol.

8. The fill level indicator shows the maximum permitted fill level. That maximum fill level is reached when bioethanol begins to run out of the slot (see arrow) and into the reflector curve.

Should you ever pour in too much fuel and cause the burner to overflow, the ethanol collects in the safety container. Empty this immediately and before lighting the burner. Clean the surface of the burner until it is dry and completely free of ethanol.

Caution: Ethanol is highly combustible. There must be no sources of igni-tion in the vicinity!

To ignite the burner, follow the steps 9 to 16 described in Point 4.4.1!

GB 30

4.4.3 TAKING OUT OF OPERATION SAFELY

If you wish to take the burner out of operation at an earlier stage than normal, place the cover on the burner with the aid of the 'cold hand'.

Insert the 'cold hand' to grip the cover plate and then cover this over the burner channel.

5. CLEANING AND CARE

The ebios-fire Quadra Inside must only be cleaned when cold.

5.1 CLEANING CLADDING PARTS

• Wait until the device has cooled down before cleaning (at least 1 hour)!• Decorative metal surfaces and the cladding parts can be cleaned with a

moist cloth (do not use a microfibre cloth!). • Glass surfaces can be cleaned with a standard glass cleaner and a soft

cloth (do not use a microfibre cloth!).• Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with a standard stainless steel

cleaner. Only use in the direction of the finish!

Remove any dust on and below the ebios-fire furniture regularly as dust particles can burn or char. This can cause dirt in the room and on the furnishings where the fire is installed.

6. MAINTENANCE/TROUBLESHOOTING

• The wick and burner fleece must be visually inspected at regular inter-vals. The material can be easily damaged. As such, the burner fleece should not be folded, bent or similar. It is not permitted to change the burner fleece or wick.

• The burner fleeces must be replaced after about 800 operating hours (the equivalent to fuel throughput of approx. 400 L of bio-ethanol). Please contact your specialist dealer.

• Only use our original spare parts.• The tank seal must be examined occasionally for cracks or brittleness

and should be replaced if necessary.• Please contact your specialist dealer should you have any questions.

6.1 FURNITURE AND GLASS BECOMES SOOTED HEAVILY, RAPIDLY AND UNEVENLY.

If this did not occur from the very start, please check the following points:

• Has the correct fuel been used?• Cladding/cover correctly positioned?

6.2 FIRE IS DIFFICULT TO IGNITE

If this did not occur from the very start, please check the following points:

• Is there fuel in the burner?• Have you wetted the ignition mats?• Has the correct fuel been used?

GB

GB 31

6.3 UNPLEASANT ODOURS

• Fuel in a burner which is not in use?• Cover plate in position?• Fuel was spilt when filling the device?

6.4 CHANGE IN APPEARANCE OF FLAMES

• Is the burner fleece damaged?• Has the correct fuel been used?• Were all safety distances observed?• Is the installation space well enough ventilated?• Is the installation site protected from transverse ventilation?

If the appearance of the flames changes noticeably, especially if the flames begin to extend above the protective pane, stop using the device and notify the specialist dealer!

6.5 SPILT ETHANOL IGNITES

If spilt ethanol is ignited, attempt to put out the flames immediately. Use, for example, foam fire extinguishers with alcohol-resistant foam or suitable fire blankets. We recommend that such extinguishing agents be kept at the ready.
