Bioethanol

What type of bioethanol should I use?
Use high-purity liquid bioethanol (minimum 95%) for clean combustion and optimal performance.
How do I fill the burner, and is it safe?
Always wait until the burner has completely cooled before refilling. Use a funnel or pump to pour in the bioethanol. Never refill while the flame is still burning. The burner contains ceramic wool, which helps prevent spills.

High-quality bioethanol produces little to no odor. A faint smell may occur when the flame is extinguished.

General Questions About the Sky Model

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our Sky bioethanol fireplaces.

Which pole should I choose for my Sky model?
It is up to you to decide the desired height and placement. We recommend measuring from the ceiling down to the desired height. The fireplace itself is 35 cm high and should be combined with a pole of your chosen length. We offer poles of 50 cm, 100 cm, 120 cm, and 140 cm, which can also be combined to achieve the desired height.
Can I rotate my Sky model and/or wall-mounted bioethanol fireplace?
The Sky model, which is suspended from the ceiling, can rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to direct the heat as needed. The freestanding models are easy to move both indoors and outdoors. The wall-mounted model can rotate 90 degrees to each side.
What type of ceiling can a suspended bioethanol fireplace be installed in?
Our Sky model can be installed in most ceiling types. For plasterboard ceilings, additional reinforcement may be required. The dome itself weighs approximately 20 kg, in addition to the weight of the pole and burner. Consult a professional if in doubt. It can also be installed in sloped ceilings using our angled ceiling mount.
How far can the Sky model be extended?
The Sky model can be extended as needed, but we recommend a maximum length of 4 meters for optimal stability and safety.
Can I install my Sky model outdoors?
The Sky model can be installed outdoors, but we generally recommend bringing the fireplace indoors when not in use. As the Sky model is permanently mounted, we suggest placing it in a sheltered location, such as under a covered terrace. Use a Dome Cover for protection when not in use.
Do I need a chimney or electricity?
No, a bioethanol fireplace does not require a chimney, as it burns clean bioethanol without producing smoke or soot. It also does not require an electrical connection, making it a flexible and easy solution for any room.
