Overview
The F3 is an automatic bioethanol burner from Decoflame, made in Denmark. It drops into an opening in a wall, bench or joinery and gives a long line of real flame, with no flue, chimney or gas line. It plugs into a power point and runs from the remote control or the panel on the burner.
Why choose the F3
- Three flame levels. Set from the remote or the panel on the burner. A timer can switch it off for you.
- Lights at the press of a button. Automatic ignition, with flames in about three minutes.
- Easy to fill. The electronic filling pump is included and stops by itself when the tank is full.
- Safety built in. Sensors watch temperature, fuel level and spills, and the burner shuts itself down if something is wrong.
- Long burn time. Up to 20.5 hours from a full tank, depending on the flame level.
- No flue, chimney or gas connection. It needs an earthed power point and bioethanol fuel.
- Clean burning. No smoke, soot or ash.
- 2 year warranty. Up to 7 years when you buy an extended warranty.

Under a timber ceiling, keep at least 1 m between the top of the fireplace and the ceiling.
FAQs
Does it need a flue or chimney?
No. Decoflame bioethanol fires do not need a flue, a chimney or a gas connection.
The room does need to be big enough. Where Decoflame gives a minimum room size, it is in the Specifications tab. Decoflame also advises letting in fresh air while the fire is running, for example by opening a window for 5 to 10 minutes or leaving a door to the next room open.
Does it need power?
Yes. It has an electronic burner, so it needs an earthed power point. Decoflame specifies a 240 V, 10 amp power point. The power runs the ignition, the controls and the safety sensors. The flame itself burns bioethanol.
Have a licensed electrician fit the power point before the fireplace goes in.
What fuel does it use, and how long does a tank last?
It burns liquid bioethanol at 96.5 to 97.5% strength, with nothing added. Do not use gel fuel or scented fuel.
The built-in tank holds 3.8 L (620 mm), 4 L (720 mm), 5.8 L (920 mm) or 7.2 L (1120 mm). A full tank burns for up to 20.5 hours, depending on the flame level you choose. On the highest flame level, allow about 7 to 8 hours.
Will it heat my room?
It gives off real heat, and the heat output is in the Specifications tab. Decoflame designs its fires to add warmth and atmosphere alongside your main heating, not to replace it.
What does my builder need to know?
It is for indoor use and must be built into non-combustible material such as brick, concrete or fire-rated board. The opening must be closed off above, below and at the sides so no draught can run through the wall, and the supports under the burner must be level.
An earthed power point goes inside the opening, below the burner. Keep curtains and furniture at least 1 m away, and use non-combustible material for at least 300 mm above the opening. In brick or masonry with no steel plate or casing above the burner, the opening needs to be at least 500 mm high.
The installation manual under Downloads has the recess sizes and drawings. Give it to your builder before the opening is made, and have a licensed electrician fit the power point.
Can I put a TV above it?
Decoflame does not recommend putting a TV, artwork or anything heat-sensitive directly above the fire, because warm air rises. If you do, Decoflame’s guide is at least 800 mm between the fire opening and the TV. That can be reduced when the TV is recessed or there is a shelf between them to deflect the heat. The exact distances are in the manual or datasheet under Downloads.
What is included, and what is not?
Included: the F3 burner with its built-in fuel tank, a tempered glass screen with holders, the remote control, the electronic filling pump and the manual.
Not included: the wall, bench or surround it is built into, and the fuel.
What is the warranty?
It comes with a 2 year warranty. You can extend this to up to 7 years by buying an extended warranty. Ask us for details when you order.
How long does delivery take?
We confirm stock and delivery time with Decoflame when you order. If you are working to a build date, contact us before you buy and we will check for you.
