1. Bio-Ethanol Fuel – What is it?
Bio-ethanol is made from renewable and sustainable
crops such as starchy, cellulosic or sugar-containing
plants or vegetable waste. Animal feed is often a by-pro-
duct. Bio-ethanol is the fuel of the future. It is environ-
mentally friendly and CO2 neutral as it, when burning,
releases only as much CO2 as are absorbed by the
plants used for it.
1.1 Specification of bio-ethanol
Only use bio-ethanol fuel in your fireplace. We recom-
mend you use blomus bio-ethanol (i.e. item no 31034)
developed for blomus fireplaces. It produces a strong,
odourless, soot-free and warm flame. blomus bio-ethanol
is available from most blomus retailers.
In USA, Canada, Sweden and Australia bio-ethanol is
also called by other names such as: denatured alcohol,
methylated spirits, white spirits & hydrous ethyl alcohol.
Bio-ethanol typically comprises:
- app. 96% alcohol
- app. 1% MEK (for denaturing)
- app. 4% water
- Bitrex (1g / 100L)
For the purpose of these instructions the fuel is referred
to as ‘bio-ethanol’. If you are unsure which fuel is suitable
please contact your local blomus dealer.
2. Safety Information
The Safety and Operating parameters in this manual
comply with the tested operational safety conditions sti-
pulated by the TÜV SÜD Industry Services as part of
their Safety Certification of VIDRO fireplaces. These in-
structions must therefore always be strictly adhered to.
Your blomus bio-ethanol fireplace is only intended to use
bio-ethanol as fuel. Never use any other fuel than bio-
ethanol. The fireplace is designed as a decorative fire-
place with a real flame. Although it produces gentle
warmth it is not intended as a room heater.
It is made for domestic in-door use only. Item no. 65333
may also be used outdoors. Do not expose the fireplace
to wet conditions. If you leave the fireplace outside we
recommend the use of the protective cover 65338.
The fireplace must be used in adequately large, draught
free, well ventilated rooms with the minimum sizes, pro-
viding sufficient ventilation as follows:
Unit 65330: Minimum volume of 50 m³ (1766 cu.ft.),
equalling an approximate area of 4 x 5 m (13 x 16.5 ft)
with a ceiling of 2.5 m (8.2 ft)
Unit 65331 and 65333: Minimum volume of 70 m³
(2472 cu.ft.), equalling an approximate area of 5 x 5.5
m (16.5 x 18 ft) with a ceiling of 2.5 m (8.2 ft)

rectly around the fireplace.
