• Never move the stove when in use.
Combustable wall

NO SPILL FUEL BOX
• Always follow the instructions shown on the packaging of
bioethanol fuel and store out of reach of children and animals.
• Only bioethanol fuel specically produced for bioethanol
replaces/stoves is suitable for this stove.
• It is extremely dangerous to use bioethanol car fuel, other
liquid or gel fuels (gasoline, diesel, petrol, lighter uids, solvents,
thinners, etc.) or solid fuels (paper, cardboard, wood, charcoal,
lighting cubes, etc.) or a mix of fuels.
• Never use any accelerants in or near your bioethanol stove.
This is extremely dangerous.
• PLEASE NOTE: The fuel boxes are designed to quickly absorb
up to 1 litre of fuel, preventing spillage if the replace is acciden-
tally knocked.
• Never pour more than 1 litre of fuel into the fuel box at any
time and never ll past the “MAX” label at the bottom of the box.
• Do not leave any bottles of bioethanol fuel or lighters on or
near the stove it shelf.
• Do not store bioethanol fuel near the appliance. Store it only in
a location that will remain cool, dry and re safe. Always ensure
the container is tightly sealed.
• Take care not to spill any fuel on or near the appliance. Any
spilled fuel must be cleaned before lighting.
• Before lighting, always check no bioethanol fuel has spilled
into the outer tray of the fuel box and remove any spillage
before lighting.
• Always remove any spilled bioethanol fuel from any pebbles,
logs, or other decorative items on your appliance.
• Bioethanol burns best when at room temperature. In tempe-
ratures below 10 degrees Celsius the liquid will not ignite easily
and it will take more time for an attractive ame to develop.
• During each attempt to light the re, be sure that it hasn’t
already ignited and that the ame is just not visible yet. This is
particularly important when using outdoors, as it can often be
harder to see the initial ame in daylight.
• Keep the fuel box closing plate shut for approximately 15
minutes before relling.
• In case of injury or swallowing bioethanol liquid, immediately
call a doctor or hospital for treatment and show them the label
or packaging of the bioethanol fuel bottle.
• Remember that any fuel left inside the bottle remains amma-
ble!. Always keep it away from any re source, and always out
of reach of children and animals. Never pour biofuel down
drains. Follow municipal bylaws for the appropriate storage and
disposal of bioethanol fuel.
• We strongly recommend that you only use bioethanol fuel with
at least 95% alcohol content.

Westbo Victoria 100 bioethanol User instructions
INSTRUCTIONS FOR VICTORIA
• Always use the supplied tool and glove when operating this
bioethanol stove. Failure to do so is dangerous as the external
surfaces of this range of replaces become much hotter than other
models as the ame is fully enclosed.
• If you are positioning this stove within a chimney breast or other
enclosed space, please allow a minimum clearance area around the
body of the replace of 150 mm.
• Never ll biofuel past the “MAX” steel label inside the bioethanol
replace.
• The re will only ignite if the steel box has at least 500 ml of
bioethanol fuel.
• Always close the door of the replace immediately after it has been
lit.
• The door should remain closed during the operation of the re.

your Westbo Victoria bioethanol stove please note the
following:
OPERATING YOUR WESTBO VICTORIA
BIOETHANOL FIREPLACE
Please note that images shown may be different to the appearance
of your bioethanol re, but the general principles of operating are the
same. Once you have assembled your replace (if required) you are
now only a few minutes away from enjoying the real ame.
The decorative pebbles or
other similar products should
never be used to cover the
opening of the
burner.
Only position the decorative
items around the opening
of the steel burner box as
indicated.

Westbo of Sweden
Westbo Victoria 100 bioethanol How to handle
• Ensure that the burner is faced as in picture facing the front of the replace.
• Only use bioethanol fuel. Use of other fuel or accelerants are extremely dangerous.
• Only pour bioethanol fuel into the steel fuel box when the re is fully installed.
• Ensure that both inner fuel box and outer chamber is empty and clean, at room temperature and dry before lling with bioethanol fuel.
• Regularly check the inner steel fuel box and the outer chamber for any signs of misshaping or leakage. Do this before each lling of fuel
tank.
• Ensure that any ttings used are not rusty, and suitable for supporting the replace.
• Fill the steel burner box with bioethanol fuel. It is recommended to use a funnel or squeezable bottle.
• Never pour more than 1 litre of fuel into the fuel box at any time and never ll past the “MAX” label at the bottom of the box.
Burning period is aprox. 3-4 hours depending on ethanol quality (1L)
• It is recommended that a period of 1 minute elapses before lighting the fuel. This allows the fuel to be absorbed by the ceramic bers.
• Fully remove all spilt fuel with an absorbent cloth and clean area of spillage to prevent ignition outside the burner reservoir.
• Ignite the fuel in the fuel box using a re lighter or extended match held at arms length.
• During each attempt to light the re, be sure that it hasn’t already ignited and that the ame is just not visible yet. This is particularly impor-
tant when using outdoors, as it can often be harder to see a ame in daylight.
• Be careful not to burn ngers, catch loose clothing or hair in the ame.
• The ame will initially burn low and blue in colour. Allow 5-10 minutes to reach the optimum temperature and ame height, when the ame
will glow with a yellow colour.
• To adjust the ame height, use the tool supplied to move the metal sliding plate more (to reduce ame height) or less (to increase ame
height) over the opening of the fuel box.
• For the rst couple of uses, there is a very slight temporary odour, which is perfectly normal and will disappear within a few uses.
• Never blow out the ame in order to extinguish your biore. (See ‘Extinguishing The Fire’ section below)
• NEVER pour any fuel on top of a ame. Always allow the existing ame to be extinguished fully and the steel burner box to be at room
temperature (allow around 30 minutes) before adding any more fuel.
• Before reignite make sure that the burner is in room temperature and use relighter or extended match held at arms length when reignite
• “DO NOT ignite the appliance if it is in a hot state.

YOUR BIOETHANOL FIREPLACE
Please note that images shown may be different to the appearance of your bioethanol re, but the
general principles of operating are the same.
• To put out the ames, use the closing tool to pull the stainless steel shutter over the opening (See below). If the ames does not
go out immediately, open the shutter and pull it closed again. Only use the closing tool provided with your replace.
• Wait until the ame is completely extinguished and the box has cooled before touching any part of the replace.
• Do not open the fuel box for at least 3 minutes after it has been closed. This will give plenty of time to ensure the ame inside is
completely extinguished and will not reignite when opened.
• Before relling, wait at least 30 minutes to allow the fuel box to return to room temperature.
• Always ensure that the stainless steel shutter is closed before leaving the re unattended.
• If for some reason the appliance malfunction and the re cannot be extinguished by above steps, please use a reblanket or re
extinguisher (powder) to end the re.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BIOETHANOL FIREPLACE
Over time, heat from the stove can cause the steel burner or surfaces of the appliance to change colour.
Regular maintenance and cleaning will help to reduce any tarnishing.
• From time to time there may be some temporary discoloration on the paintwork of your bioethanol replace. This is simply harm-
less residue from the burning of the bioethanol fuel and can be removed by using a non-scratch sponge with washing up liquid.
It is not a fault of the product.
• Ensure that the fuel box contains no fuel before cleaning.
• Never use chemicals, steel wool or abrasive cleaning products, as these can scratch the surface.
• Use a glass cleaner to clean the safety glass.
• Over time the stainless steel fuel box may start to discolour. This is a natural reaction to the high heat that is produced. It can be
removed by using an approved stainless steel cleaner. Just rub the cream in the direction of the “grain” of the steel.
• Do not clean the burner box with water or put in a dishwasher.
• Once the replace is cleaned, ensure it is dry before attempting to light.
• Regularly check the inner steel fuel box and the outer chamber for any signs of misshaping or leakage.
• If you intend to keep the re outside, please keep it covered with a waterproof cover when not in use and do not store it outdoors
all year round. When uncovering the replace, ensure that there is no water in the fuel box or in the replace before use as water
can collect internally and damage the re. (Note -We do not sell the waterproof covers, but most DIY outlets have general covers
for this purpose)
• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damages resulting out of faulty use and/or cleaning of the product.
