• A portable ethanol-burning fireplace and the fuel,

should only be used by adults.

• Clean up any fuel spillage and be sure all liquid has evaporated before lighting the fireplace. 
• Light the fireplace using a utility lighter or long Match.
• An adult should always be present when a portable fireplace is burning.
• Place the fireplace on a sturdy surface away from table edges.
• It’s a good idea to crack a window open for a fresh supply of air.
• Never try to move a lit fireplace or one that is still Hot.
• Don’t pour ethanol fuel into a device that is lit or not completely cool. It may result in a fire or injury.
• Allow the device to cool down for at least 15 minutes before refueling.
• Extinguish the flame when you leave the room, home or go to sleep.
