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. Also, using bioethanol reduces the CO² emission by 80% in comparison to buring gas, coal or oil (fossile fuels).

No, it consists of plain water and a bit of carbon dioxide. Harmful fumes are avoided by using a bioethanol fireplace instead of a gel fireplace.

Decoflame® bioethanol can be supplied in 1 litre bottles or 4 litre jerrycans. It should be poured into smaller containers in order to facilitate fuelling of your fireplace.

In between 2 to 5 hours, depending on the fireplace and burner size and the room ventilation. One litre of bioethanol generates around 7.1 kW.

Yes, depending on the model it can generate from 2 to 6 kWh increasing the temperature in a room of 30-40m² by around 3-5°C. A bioethanol fireplace, however, should always be regarded as a cosy supplement to your primary source of heating.

No, all Decoflame® bioethanol fireplaces are strictly to be fuelled with bioethanol only.
12. How can I exstinguish the fire in my bioethanol fireplace?
We recommend that you let the bio-ethanol contens of the burner burn off completely. Should you wish to exstinguish the flame before the burner is empty, please use the burner lid to do so. Depending on the model of fireplace, slide (with inclosed handle) or place (wearing oven gloves) the burner lid to cover the flames. This cuts off oxygen supply and exstinguishes the fire immediately.
13. What is the inside of my Decoflame® bioethanol fireplace made of?
The inside of the fireplace is made of fireproof metal.
