The UFO Freestanding offers several convenient control options, giving you full control over the fireplace at any time. You can use the mobile app to adjust settings remotely, change the flame height, and set the ambiance without having to be near the fireplace. The touch control panel allows you to easily adjust the fireplace’s settings directly on the device, check fuel levels, or set a timer for automatic shutoff. Additionally, the remote control offers a quick and easy way to adjust the flame intensity with six levels to choose from. You can also connect your fireplace to Smart Home System. Each of these control options ensures maximum comfort and ease of use, tailored to your needs.
Optional decorative logs – a classic touch
To give the fireplace a more traditional appearance, you can add optional decorative ceramic logs. These logs add warmth and a cozy, homely character, perfect for creating a welcoming atmosphere.
FAQ
Are the BEV products Eco-friendly?
How to refuell the BEV fireplace?
The BEV fireplaces are being refuelled with the automatic fuel pump. The dedicated pump – when connected – automatically fills up the tank with a bioethanol fuel. Once the tank is completely filled, the sensor alerts the microprocessor to stop the process.
Fuel tank location in BEV products
The fuel tank for the BEV fireplaces is located in the product cassette.
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.
