Le Feu fireplaces are designed to deliver a warm, elegant, and safe experience. To enjoy your product to the fullest, please read and follow the guidelines below carefully.
Safety & Installation
Yes. While Le Feu fireplaces produce no smoke or ash, they do consume oxygen during combustion. Proper ventilation is essential, especially in apartments or smaller spaces, to ensure safe and comfortable use.
Yes, but as with any open flame, they should be used with caution and never left unattended.
No, they burn cleanly with no smoke, soot, or ash.
It’s possible, but ensure proper clearance and ventilation above the flame to avoid heat damage.
At least 1 meter of clearance above the flame and 50 cm around the sides is recommended.
Yes. We recommend having a household fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the same room as your fireplace for added peace of mind.

No, they’re freestanding and require no permanent installation.
Bioethanol Fuel
Use high-purity liquid bioethanol (at least 95%) for clean burning and optimal performance.
A full burner typically lasts 2–3 hours, depending on flame setting and conditions.
Always wait until the burner is cool, then refill using a funnel or pump. Never refill while flames are still burning.
Bioethanol is available online, at specialty fireplace retailers, and through authorized Le Feu distributors.
Yes, when stored in a cool, ventilated space away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
High-quality bioethanol produces little to no odor. Some smell may occur when extinguishing the flame.
No. You should never use burning alcohol, gasoline, or any other flammable liquid in your Le Feu fireplace. These substances are dangerous, create uncontrolled flames, and can cause serious injury or damage. Always use high-purity bioethanol fuel as recommended for safe and clean operation.
Lighting & Use
Always use a long lighter or a safety-approved firelighter to ignite your Le Feu fireplace. This keeps your hands at a safe distance from the flame.
No. Never light the fireplace if fuel has spilled around it. Clean up any excess bioethanol immediately before ignition.
No. Do not move the fireplace while it is lit or still hot. Always wait until the flame is fully extinguished and the unit has cooled down
Never leave your Le Feu fireplace unattended while it is in use. Always monitor the flame and extinguish it before leaving the room.
