factured and quality-tested in Denmark with highest product safety and user-friendliness in mind. Our
fireplaces feature a unique and design-protected decoflame® burner which is thoroughly tested and
its closing mechanism manually adjusted prior to leaving the production line.

manual.
ATTENTION
Do not fill fuel into
the open flame
Do not fill fuel into
the hot burner
1
Chose a position for your fireplace which is not exposed to any draught, as bioethanol is a volatile fluid.
In fact, only the vapors of the bioethanol are burning when lit.
2
Choose a solid floor surface, where it can hold the weight of the fireplace and base.
3
Avoid draughts, as this can cause soot formation and increases the fuel consumption.
4
Ensure that the room in which the fireplace is situated is well ventilated at all times during operation ofyour fireplace without causing any draught.
5
When lit - the metal of the burner and any glass parts of your fireplace can become hot during use.Avoid contact with those parts to prevent burning.
6
When lit, any glass screens will be warm, as the heat is led upwards. DO NOT place anything on top of your fireplace.
7
NEVER leave the fireplace unattended when it is lit.
8
For safety reasons always keep a safety distance of at least 400mm(16 in) from a lit fireplace.
9
ONLY adults may light and extinguish the flames.
10
You should not touch the flames of the lit fireplace or blow into the flames, as this will cause the flames to stand out from the fireplace and they
will become uncontrollable. DO NOT touch the surface of the fireplace when lit.
11
When choosing a suitable position for your fireplace please also consider keeping it out of reach of smaller children and pets.
12
Do you have children or pets in the home? If so, make sure an adult keeps an eye on them at all times during operation of your fireplace and

4. POSITIONING & INSTALLATION
ESPOO Ø720x300mm
Heat efficiency:
1.3 - 2.6 kW/h
Weight:
37 kg
Burner volume:
2,4 liters of bioethanol. Only use bioethanol of at least 96.5% and max 97.5% for Decoflame® fireplaces.
Burning duration/consumption:
A full tank will last between 6-10 hours, depending on flame intensity and air flow.
The Espoo Floor model is primarily intended for indoors use. It can be positioned, however, on a balcony or terrace as well (it

one meter (40 in) from curtains, sunshades and similar textiles or other inflammable objects.
Choose a position for the Espoo Floor before you light it. DO NOT move or lift the fireplace while it is lit.
Also, choose a position for your fireplace which is not exposed to any draught, as bioethanol is a volatile fuel. In fact, only the vapor
of the bioethanol is burning when lit. You should not touch the flames of the lit fireplace or blow into the flames, as this will cause the
flames to stand out from the fireplace and they will become uncontrollable.
DO NOT place any valuable paintings or electronic equipment like TV screens or speakers above the fireplace.
The warm air from the fire will rise upwards and might damage anything in its way.
DO NOT recess the Espoo Floor fireplace into any niche, placed below a shelving or placed inside a very small room.
DO NOT position the Espoo Floor pushed against a wall.
You may use this fireplace in conservatories only if their ambient temperature does never exceed normal room temperature.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Espoo Floor is designed and manufactured exclusively for use with liquid bioethanol of the highest purity (96.5 - 97.5%) without additives.
DO NOT use other fuel, material or bioethanol of inferior quality, as the warranty will be void.
The model is equipped with a filling pump to avoid spillage or overflow of bio during the filling process.
FILLING
The fireplace must ONLY be filled when it is cold! To increase safety, this model is equipped with a temperature sensor,
thus, the pump does not start when the fireplace is hot or in operation.
Buy the bioethanol online or at Decoflame dealers. Make sure it is mine. 96.5% and max. 97.5% and without additives.
It is recommended to buy a 3-liter bioethanol canister as indicated to the right.
1. Open the fuel tank cover using the handle on the left side and push it towards the burner as shown above.
2. Open a can of bioethanol. Place the hose without quick coupling into the can.
3. The hose with the quick coupling is led up to the fireplace's tank filling.
4. Push the quick coupling until it clicks and until it is locked.
5. When both hoses are positioned correctly, the plug can be inserted. When the plug is in place, the pump starts to fill.
Wait until the tank is full. The fireplace is equipped with a sensor which cuts off the pump, when the bioethanol
reaches a certain level in the tank. This mechanism controls the risk of overfilling the tank.
IMPORTANT The sequence must be followed as shown in the picture.
The coupling must always be connected first. Then insert the plug.
OVERFILLING
A fault in the pump or sensors can lead to overfilling the tank.
It is important to check the bottom of the fireplace for bioethanol. The small hole under the fireplace ensures that the bioethanol does not escape
in the event of overfilling.
DO NOT light the fireplace if you have overfilled it!
It is recommended to use a 3-liter canister. In case of overfilling, use a piece of paper towel to wipe up excess bioethanol on the burner, the
surrounding surfaces and the bottom of the fireplace. Wait 24 hours before starting the fireplace again. If the error occurs again, the fireplace
must not be used. In this case, you must immediately contact Decoflame's Service Department for further instructions.

and then coupling can be released by pushing the black round button.
2. Due to safety reasons, fuel inlet lid should be moved back
to closed position as shown in the picture.

The bioethanolmust be at room temperature before it can be ignited. If the bioethanol is very cold,
or the room temperature is too low, you can use a lighter to ignite the fireplace.
It will take approx. 10-20 minutes before the flames reach the intended size.
DO NOT attempt to extinguish the fire during this period.
When the fireplace is started on afull tank, it willtake approx. 6-10 hours before all the fuel in the tank is burnt out.
