4.2.1•Recommended•fuel•quality
For Vauni Edge/Shadow we recommend Vauni ECO-FLAME which is the market’s most op!mal bio-
ethanol fuel for use in chimney-free "replaces and inserts. This product gives natural, smoke- and
soot-free #ames with a neutral aroma, and can be ordered at www.vauni.com. In cases where ECO-
FLAME is not available, only liquid denatured ethanol (bio-ethanol) must be used, which is sold under
various trade names at building-supply stores, DIY-stores, petrol sta!ons and large markets. (Applies
for Sweden – for other markets consult your distributor)
Denatured ethanol is an in#ammable liquid, and therefore must be handled with great care – in
Sweden according to the prescrip!ons and general advice for handling in#ammable liquids (Na!onal
Inspectorate of Explosives and Flammables, SÄIFS 2000:2). Handling of larger amounts than 100 litres
requires a permit for handling of in#ammable goods (SÄIFS 1995:3). For more informa!on, see www.
raddningsverket.se (Applies for Sweden – for other markets consult your distributor)
Before adding fuel: it is very important that the correct quality of fuel is used – so check again to be
sure. Bio-alcohol in gela•nous form, or ethanol fuel for automobiles such as E85, must not be used
under any circumstances! If non-recommended fuel is used, it can lead to greatly reduced charac-
teris!cs and also cons!tute a poten!al health hazard with risk of personal injury. Faults that arise
due to use of incorrect fuel are not covered by the guarantee. If you feel uncertain, consult with the
personnel at the place of sale in order to ensure purchase of the right fuel quality.
4.2.2•Re illing•with•fuel
Warning! Denatured ethanol burns with an almost invisible #ame under certain condi!ons. This
may happen, for example, when the level in the burner is low. Therefore it is very important that the
fireplace is ex!nguished completely a$er use, and that it is allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes
before more fuel is added. To add fuel in a burning fireplace is very dangerous and can cause an
explosion.
Note 1! Add fuel when the fireplace is about to be used – the burner has a safety func!on that makes
it harder to start when the fuel has been standing for more than 20 minutes. Read more at point 4 in
Sec!on 4.1 Ligh!ng the "replace.
Note 2! The burner may contain fuel from previous firing. The tank’s total volume is 2 litres.
Therefore, do not add more than is needed according to point 5 below.
The following steps should be taken when adding fuel:
1. See that the fireplace is completely ex!nguished, by checking that the regulator lid is closed, and
that the fireplace has been allowed to cool for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed.
2. Check that the correct fuel is used. Vauni recommends that the fireplace be filled from bio-
ethanol packaged in bo#les of 1 litre.
3. Open the regulator lid completely. Start filling by holding the bo%le to the burner’s opening,
angled so that the fuel flows in the burner’s length direc!on, from right to le$ or vice versa. In
order to reduce the risk of spillage, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A FUNNEL. (Figure 19) Pour the
fuel carefully down into the burner matrix. Add carefully un!l fuel is no longer absorbed by the
burner matrix. The liquid level must not rise above the burner matrix by more than 1 mm. (Figure
