Ventilation
EcoSmart™ Fires do not require any form of permanent fixture or fitting, such as a flue for ventilation, a permanent connection or any kind of fixed utility for fuel supply.
Bioethanol is safe to burn indoors without venting, because its main by-products are carbon dioxide, water steam and heat.
Do not cover any existing ventilation systems or structures that are built or installed within the chosen installation area
To ensure adequate ventilation, make sure to follow the guidelines in the following table.
Underwriters Laboratories calculates adequate air exchange as follows:
In a house of typical construction, that is, one that is not of unusually tight construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals against air infiltration, an adequate supply of air for combustion and ventilation is provided through infiltration. However, if the Burner is used in a small room where less than 5.7m3(a room of approximate size of 1.8m x 1.8m x 1.8m of air space is provided for each 1000 BTU per hour of appliance rating (considering the maximum Burner setting), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept open or a window to the outside should be opened at least 25.4mm to guard against potential build up of indoor air pollution. Do not install or operate in a bath
| MODEL | Minimum Room Size |

| BK2UL | The room cannot be less than 45m3 per burner |
| XL900 | The room cannot be less than 110m3 per burner |
| XL700 | The room cannot be less than 90m3 per burner |
