Customised fireplace

Porto Core is an automatic ethanol fireplace with BEV technology in a freestanding design to be finished with any 8 mm thick cladding. It is the easiest way to arrange a real fire indoors as there is no need to connect it to a chimney. The flames in the Porto fireplace come from burning ethanol vapour and can be controlled by remote control and mobile app.

AUTOMATIC BEV FIREPLACE FOR OUTDOORS

Porto BEV fireplace was designed to withstand a variety of weather conditions. Its electronic systems are protected in a sealed, waterproof casing. The high glass shields guard the flame from strong wind blows.

BEV^® TECHNOLOGY

Planika puts safety to the highest standards. Our BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapours) Technology ensures no direct contact between the liquid fuel and the flame and complete control over the fire. The entire process is controlled by a microprocessor and numerous safety sensors. This gives you full control over the real fire in your indoor space.

How to replace the empty fuel container?

Unscrew the cap with the pumping hose and remove the empty container from the holder. Insert a full fuel container, ensuring the cap is removed beforehand, and carefully place it into the holder. Once the new container is in position, screw the cap with the pumping hose back on securely to ensure a proper seal, and check for any leaks before operating the system.

Where the fuel container is located?

It is located in the storage compartment below the firebox.

Are the BEV products Eco-friendly?

Thanks to the complete combustion process, fireplaces with BEV (beurning Ethanol Vapours) technology do not release
any harmful substances into the environment.

Does a BEV fireplace produce heat?

Yes, the BEV fireplaces generating a real fire that produce heat.

Why there must be a 1/H air exchange?

This is a standard construction requirement for any habitable space. As the length of the fireplace increases, so does the amount of re-circulated air, which means a larger air volume is needed. This ensures that the recirculated air does not lower the overall air quality in the room within an hour. This is the minimum air exchange requirement. Increasing the air
exchange rate will further enhance air quality by reducing the concentration of recirculated air.

Is it possible to replace the remote control?

Yes, the remote control can be ordered through the service help form ( https://planikafires.com/service-help/ ). After the
new remote is received, the service team must be contacted again by filling the form, they must remotely pair the remote with the fireplace.

What are the by-products produced during bioethanol burning process?

In Planika’s BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapors) fireplaces, the bioethanol burning process is carefully designed to maximize efficiency and minimize harmful emissions. The BEV technology specifically burns ethanol vapors rather than liquid ethanol, leading to a more complete combustion process. The by-products are Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and Water Vapor
(H₂O). This CO₂ emission is comparable to what humans exhale and is minimal in well-ventilated rooms.

Are the BEV products safe to use?

Planika’s BEV technology is designed to provide a safe, clean, and environmentally friendly fire experience by burning
ethanol vapors rather than liquid ethanol directly.Here are some aspects of their safety features:1. No Direct Contact with Flame: Planika’s BEV technology creates flames from burning ethanol vapors, which eliminates the risk of spillage and uncontrolled burning of liquid ethanol, making it safer than traditional ethanol fireplaces.2. Automated Control Systems: These fireplaces often include electronic control systems, which manage the ignition, flame height, and shutdown process. This automation minimizes user interaction with the flame and enhances safety.3. Sensors and Safety Features:CO₂ and Temperature Sensors: Many Planika fireplaces are equipped with sensors that monitor the carbon dioxide level and temperature. If the CO₂ level exceeds a safe limit or if there’s an unusual temperature spike, the system shuts down automatically.Tilt and levelling sensor- a safety features designed to shut off the fireplace if it is tilted beyond a safe angle. This prevents accidental fuel spills or fires if the unit is knocked over or destabilized.Spill-Proof Design: BEV fireplaces are typically designed to prevent ethanol leaks, reducing the risk of accidental fires dueto fuel spills.

Is the chimney or flue required for the BEV fireplaces?

There is no chimney or flue required for the BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapour) technology fireplaces. Thanks to the BEV technology products are producing minimal carbon dioxide and water vapor without smoke or harmful fumes.

Can’t open the fuel cap.

Remove the ring under the cap.

Can I connect the fireplace to the UPS battery?
