To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns, it releases tiny amounts of soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the fireplace full of the correct fuel and ensure that it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.

You can also mount remote controls on certain models to control the entire thing from the couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it while being able to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
