instruction manual & security advices for
decoration fire places of BFT (habee-Feuer) / 01.2007
Model: beebox
We congratulate for buying your „non-smoking-stove”
Introduction
Before using your stove for the first time, we would like to give you useful instructions and
security advice for the correct use of our product.
Your new “non-smoking stove” should only be placed on level, strong, and stable ground.
Please ensure that no flammable materials are near the stove. After removing the packaging,
as well as the lamination sheet, the stove is ready for use.
BFT decoration fire places guarantee a maximum standard of quality and security. However, it
is important to ensure that after reading the instruction manual, only responsible persons with
adequate ability handle the stove.
The BFT decoration fireplace is designed, as indicated, for decoration and the creation of a
comfortable atmosphere. The stove is not a heating stove and should not be used as a source
of heat in your home or the building in which the stove may be active.
It is not necessary to get a special permission for using the stove in normal accommodations.
Equally, while the stove must be placed away from flammable objects, it does not require a
stone hearth.
Please note: we advise you to limit usage of the stove to a maximum 8 hours per day. Heat
dissipation is a welcome effect, but not the main intention of the decoration fire place.
Starting your stove
Filling of the burning chamber
Open the door of your stove, behind the door your find the burning chamber. Open the burning
chamber completely with the stick you find enclosed in your stove equipment. You will find
the control unit to open and close the chamber on one site of the burning chamber.
Fill in the BFT biological fuel (bio-alcohol) in the cane (enclosed in the equipment), minimum
0,8 litres, maximum 1,0 litres.
Fill the alcohol carefully in the chamber. If you spill some fuel, please clean the stove with an
absorbent towel. The towel should be removed from the stove to avoid an inflammation.
Please note:
Never fill in more than 1,0 litres in the burning chamber. The fuel should be maximum 2
fingerbreadths under the upper edge of the burning chamber.

The fuel should never be stored above room temperature. When you start your stove, it
is possible that you have a little deflagration of the fuel. Please do not be concerned about
it, this is not dangerous for you because of the construction of the chamber. The cooler
the temperature at which you store the fuel, the less deflagration there will be.
Lighting the biological fuel (bio-alcohol)
Please use a lighter that has a minimum 10cm long lighting stick and simply light the
fuel/alcohol in the burning chamber.
Please note:
Be careful when lighting, it is important that the lighter has no physical contact with the
fuel, but that just the flame extends to the fuel. There should be distance of about 2-3cm
from the lighter to the fuel.
To avoid explosions due to the usage of improper lighters, we advice you to use only the
BFT lighter enclosed in your equipment.
Adjustment / consumption
With the control unit for opening and closing the chamber, you are also able to control and
adjust the size of the flame and consumption of fuel.
Please note:
When starting your stove, the burning chamber must be opened completely (control unit) to
allow maximum oxygen in the chamber. After 20 min. you can adjust the control to create the
flame size of your choice. Depending on the size of your stove, the consumption of the stove
lies between 0,2 and 0,4 litres per hour.
When you adjust the burning chamber, please note that the fire should always burn with a
yellow flame. Please avoid blue flames as they are excessively hot.
Drowning the fire / re-filling
If you would like to put out the fire please open the door of the stove slowly and close the
burning chamber completely with the control unit.
Important notice:
Due to an influx of fresh oxygen when opening the door, the flame could quickly grow or
leap. Danger – Fire hazard! It is important to open the door slowly in order to avoid any
drastic increase or fire hazard.
Attention !
Please never restart the fire just after putting it out!
Before using the stove again, it must be completely cooled. Wait a minimum of at least 60
minutes before restarting your stove.

The entire amount of fuel initially placed in the chamber should be burned and the flame
allowed to go out on its own. It is advised to allow this process and only to manually put out
the fire in exceptional cases. As a general rule, the fuel in the stove should be burned
completely.
Fuel/biologicalalcohol
Absolutely no other type of fuel may be used in this stove. Only use BFT biological alcohol
for your BFT decoration fire place. Please note the security warnings on the fuel canister!
Ventilation and space requirements
If you would like to use the BFT decoration fire place in closed rooms, please make sure that
the room has an adequate ventilation.
To avoid a certain amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) over the
admissible limit it is important to guarantee a constant ventilation.
The room must have a minimum size of 25 m² and a volume of 60m³.
The volume of rooms that are not separated (with doors), should be 200 m³.
The rooms should be aired every 1-2 hours.
Security advice / regulations
Please avoid flammable materials near the stove and make sure that there is enough distance
between the stove and any furniture or other items in the area, at least .5 meters in all
directions.
The ventilation opening should never be covered or closed by materials like a tea kettle, etc.
Please note: The glass front and the metal surface are heated up to 90 degrees during use and
can cause burns!
Maintenance
The combustion chamber is to be examined regularly for tightness. To do this, lift the
combustion chamber from the oven body and turn it upside down over a suitable
receptacle and examine whether bio alcohol is in the safety tub and if this drips from
the safety tub into the receptacle. If this should be the case, wipe away the alcohol
with a soft, absorbent cloth. Replace the chamber into the stove. Control again after
the next combustion. Again if bio alcohol should be present and dripping, it is likely
that it does not come from a previous pouring but a defective combustion.
If this is the case, the stove should not be lit again! Please send the defective combustion
chamber to the following address:
Of course you will get replacement free of charge.
