GAS FIREPLACES

ELECTRIC FIREPLACES

+ Is installing a Clearfire bioethanol fireplace simple?

Yes, just follow the instructions given in the instruction manual and in a few minutes the fireplace will be installed. Bioethanol fireplaces do not require additional installation or chimney work, they are completely autonomous.

+ Can Clearfire biofireplaces be installed anywhere?

The fireplaces can be installed in any type of indoor environment - living room, bedroom, kitchen, etc... or you can choose just the burner and install directly in different types of structures, for example: furniture (fireproof material), plasterboard, masonry, etc.

+ Are Clearfire biofireplaces efficient in terms of heating?

Yes, most of the heat generated by the combustion of bioethanol is concentrated on site, hence there is heating efficiency, which does not happen with traditional fireplaces, where 2/3 of the energy produced is lost through the duct.

+ Can I put a Clearfire burner on my conventional fireplace?

Yes, you only need to place a burner inside, either in a traditional fireplace or in a stove. Clearfire has a collection of burners that were developed for this purpose. In just a few minutes your old fireplace takes on a new life.

+ Can I adjust the intensity of the burner flame?

Yes. However, the flame intensity adjustment process varies depending on the model. The manual burner is adjusted using the flame regulator knob, which comes with the burner; on automatic burners, this can be adjusted on the control panel or on the remote control if this feature is available. (Note: Bioethanol consumption varies depending on the chosen setting.)

+ Can I put out the fireplace before finishing the bioethanol?

Yes, you can turn off the fireplace at any time. In the case of a manual burner, simply close the adjustment plate with the knob. On automatic burners, just press the button. Turn off your fireplace whenever you leave the house.

+ Does the bioethanol left in the burner evaporate?

Yes, in any case, the evaporation power is lower than that of common alcohol. In the case of manual burners, the bioethanol will be soaked into the ceramic wool or ceramic stone, which reduces evaporation. You must close the burner to limit evaporation.

+ Can I move the fireplace?

Clearfire biofireplaces, as they do not require additional installation or chimney work, can be easily moved from location to location. However, you should only move the fireplace when it is not in operation and we recommend that you do not have bioethanol in the burner.

+ How is the maintenance of the biofireplace done?

Clearfire biofireplaces do not require special maintenance. Use a damp cloth to clean the fireplace surface. In the case of a stainless steel manual burner, you can use a liquid product intended for cleaning this material. In the case of an automatic burner, use a dry cloth. In both cases, never use abrasive products.

+ What are the risks related to carbon monoxide?

Biofireplaces mainly release water vapor and carbon dioxide CO2. The gas, which due to combustion poses a health risk, is carbon monoxide, CO. This happens when combustion is incomplete due to lack of oxygen, to avoid this situation, the biofireplace is placed in an airy place with an area compatible with the model.

+ What type of gas is used in these fireplaces?

Gas fireplaces use any type of gas normally used in the home, i.e. it can be natural gas or propane.

+ Are gas fireplaces efficient?

One of the main advantages of a gas fireplace system is its energy efficiency. All fuel that is burned is converted directly into heat and light. This means that gas fireplaces only need a small amount of fuel to produce a large amount of radiant energy.

+ Does a gas fireplace produce heat?

Yes. In some cases, a gas fireplace can produce more heat than a conventional fireplace. Plus, it's quick and easy to adjust the heat using the remote control.

+ Are gas fireplaces safe? And the vapors?

[:es]Todas las unidades de chimenea de gas son seguras. No hay liberación de vapores, partículas, otros contaminantes del aire. Esto se debe al proceso de ventilación y la eficiencia del All gas fireplace units are safe. There is no release of vapours, particles, other air pollutants. This is due to the ventilation process and the efficiency of the gas system. All fuel is burned cleanly and completely.

+ How does a gas fireplace work?

The gas fireplace has a chamber in which combustion takes place and is equipped with safety valves. The valve allows the desired amount of gas to pass to a burner, where the necessary air for combustion is introduced. Ignition takes place automatically. Combustion is monitored by a detection system that switches off the gas if there is no flame.

+ What is a gas fireplace?

Vented gas fireplaces are very similar to traditional wood burning fireplaces. Require ventilation to filter and enter the air.

+ What are the risks related to carbon monoxide?

There is no risk! To reiterate, this is due to some near-standard features of gas fireplace technology: The first is the fact that gas fireplaces burn 100% of the fuel they are fed. No gas or smoke is released in the house. The second is that there is a security backup, it is a sensor that detects if any gas is being released out of the fireplace. If it detects any anomaly, this mechanism is immediately activated. The third is that gas fireplaces come equipped with a glass door that must be closed for it to work. This effectively seals off the gas chamber from the rest of the house. Thus, air and particles are vented out of the house without any contact with the living space.

+ How is ventilation done in gas fireplaces?

Most gas fireplaces are direct vented. This means that fireplaces have a fixed glass front that seals off the gas burner. 100% of the combustion air used by the fireplace comes from outside the house through a coaxial tube. An inner tube within the larger tube eliminates all combustible gases, maintaining indoor air quality. Ventilation can be run horizontally through an external wall or vertically through the roof.

+ Can I remove the glass from the gas fireplace?

No, direct vent fireplaces are sealed combustion systems and need glass to function properly.

+ How is a gas fireplace fired?

A lareira a gás acende-se de um modo rápido e fácil usando apenas o controlo remoto. Com este controlo remoto, pode ligar e desligar, regular a produção de calor e ajustar a altura da chama.

+ Are electric fireplaces economical?

Yes, most electric fireplaces operate on 220V electrical current and use approximately 1500 W per hour at full power. If the purpose is not to heat, electric fireplaces have a consumption of 30w per hour.

+ Why buy an electric fireplace?

Electric fireplaces are a good alternative as they do not require ventilation. Electric fireplaces provide the comfort, ambiance, and warmth of a traditional fireplace, but without ventilation.

+ How do I turn the fireplace on or off?

Most electric fireplaces come with a remote control. The remote control will allow you to turn the fireplace on or off and also allows you to adjust the intensity of the flame and the level of heat that the fireplace will emit. Hand control is also on each unit, usually located on the front.

+ Do electric fireplaces need ventilation?

No, electric fireplaces do not generate emissions and therefore do not need to be vented through a chimney, direct ventilation or another source like gas or wood fireplaces.

+ Does the glass front of an electric fireplace get hot?

No. The glass front always remains cool to the touch and is perfectly safe for children and pets. The heating element is separate from the flame effect area and is located either at the top or at the back of the glass and does not get hot enough to burn.

+ Is there maintenance on an electric fireplace?

No. In the case of LED lamps, which last up to 20,000 hours and do not need to be replaced during the lifetime of the fireplace. LED bulbs are also more energy efficient.

+ Do electric fireplaces really heat a room?

Most electric fireplaces have a power of 1500 W. They work like a heater that radiates heat into the room through vents at the top or bottom. These fireplaces are not designed to be the main source of heat, but they very effectively provide supplemental heat to various spaces.

+ Is installing an electric fireplace simple?

Yes, just follow the instructions given in the instruction manual and in a few minutes the fireplace will be installed.

+ Is the flame real in the electric fireplace?

Electric fireplaces utilize a lighting system to create a realistic and fascinating display with endless possibilities. Vivid 3D flame effects are designed to create a glowing fire, giving a stunning visual appearance.

+ Can electric fireplaces be recessed into a wall?

Yes, as long as the model is for that purpose, so the heat will have to leave the front of the glass and not the back. That is, if the heat leaves the back of the fireplace, when recessed, the heat would remain inside the wall and will overheat.
