ecosmart XL900 Bio Ethanol Burner
Safety First!
A bioethanol fireplace creates a solution for situations where the ambience of a real fire is desired but no chimney is available or possible to install. All our manual bioethanol burners are equipped with a ceramic cotton filling that absorbs liquid and makes sure that any filled bioethanol can not be spilt out of the burner again if tipped over. When burning bioethanol CO2 (Carbon dioxide) is created. In large quantities, CO2 can be a health risk and you should therefore pay attention to the minimum room size requirements for the different burners. See more about this on the following pages.
Important
- Read and understand the manual provided with your bioethanol burner for safe use!

Cutout instructions
The burners are equipped with a lip around the top of the fireplace. When the burner is installed in your fireplace this lip is used to keep the burner in place and not fall through the cutout. The cutout dimensions you need to make in the bottom of your surround needs to be larger than the cutout dimensions – but smaller than the lip size. For the burner to sit completely flush with the bottom of the fireplace you can choose to mill out a small recess matching the size of the lip.
Instruction for building in a bioethanol burner
- The recess and surroundings should be made of a fire-resistant material.
- Keep a safety distance of 1000mm (1 meter) to flammable materials around the flame.
- Keep an open space above the burner of minimum 400 mm – recommended 500 mm (Size A in the illustrations).
- If a television is placed directly above the burner, please follow the instructions in the following illustrations.
- Always ask your TV supplier whether your TV is suitable for hanging above a fireplace.
TV installation option 1
- Installation of the bioethanol burner underneath a TV with a small shelf to protect the TV from any direct heat.
| A | |
| Minimum | 400 mm |
| Recommended | 500 mm |
| B | ||
|
C | 0-50 mm | Min 1110 mm |
| 51-100 mm | Min 1000 mm | |
| ≥101mm | Min 900 mm | |
How to use the table

TV installation option 2
- Installation of the bioethanol burner underneath a TV with a recess into the wall to protect the TV from any direct heat.
| A | |
| Minimum | 400 mm |
| Recommended | 500 mm |
| B | ||

TV installation option 3
Installation of the bioethanol burner underneath a television without any protection of the TV but with extra safety distance. This solution is usually not recommended to use without consulting the manufacturer of the TV.
| A | |
| Minimum | 400 mm |
| Recommended | 500 mm |
| B | |
| Minimum | 1100 mm |
TV installation option 4
Installation of the bioethanol burner directly underneath the TV without anything to deflect the heat from rising up into the TV is never recommended. Please don’t do this. High risk of doing damage to the TV.
Using a built-in profile
For some burner models, we offer a built-in profile that can be used when installing the burner on a flammable surface. The built-in profile is made of a 3 mm thick steel plate and makes sure that there is no direct contact between the bioethanol burner and the surrounding.
The built-in profile is available for the following burners
- BIO316 – Superior Manual Burner 45 cm
- BIO324 – Superior Manual Burner 60 cm
- BIO317 – Superior Manual Burner 80 cm
- BIO322 – Superior Manual Burner 100 cm
The opening underneath the built-in profile needs to be a minimum of 5 mm smaller than the size of the profile plate. Ideally, the built-in profile is to be milled into the top panel of your design to make a seamless and flush finish. If desired, this can be glued with heat-resistant adhesive. Remember to keep enough distance around the built-in profile to avoid that heat from the burner will damage any surroundings. For a more detailed built-in profile installation instruction please check the installation guide included with the built-in profiles.
