1.1 Scope of delivery

Carefully remove SPIN from the packaging and check the content as to
completeness or damages. In case any component is defect, we ask you
to please not to use SPIN, but to contact your distributor. Please remove
all packing material prior to assembly. höfats firegel is not included in
the delivery.

1.2 Combustion gel

• For the use of SPIN, you must only use the höfats fire gel. You can use
the höfats combustion gel bottle (art.-nr. 090801-6) and fill the fire gel
into the refill cup. (art.-nr. 090901)
• The manufacturer accepts no liability for other combustibles.
• Never refill hot and / or warm cups or cans with combustible fire
gel. The hot gel forms – together with air – a highly flammable, even
explosive mixture.
• Never pour combustion gel directly into the fireplace, for otherwise the
combustion gel can pour out and an uncontrolled fire can be caused.
• Do not use liquid bioethanol or other flammable liquids such as spirit
or petroleum
• Always store the combustion gel securely closed in rooms where no
open fire exists – bioethanol is a combustible which evaporates when
open. With temperatures higher than 21° C (70° F), bioethanol –
together with air – forms a highly flammable, even explosive mixture
• Completely and securely close used combustion gel cans (as far as
not burnt out fully). The quality of open combustion gel can deteriorate
when stored for a longer period and cannot be lit as easily as before
• Do not store more than 5 litres (1,3 gallons) of highly flammable liquids
in your home. Observe national and regional regulations, rules, laws
and other legally binding requirements of your place of residence
regarding the storage and handling of highly flammable liquids. The
requirements may vary depending on your location.

1.3 Instructions as to room size

• When operating SPIN in closed rooms, always make sure that there is
sufficient ventilation
• Combustion gel is mixed with thickening agents and thus does not
burn completely odorless and residue-free. The air gets moister and
is consumed faster
• Therefore, no other fire must be lit in the same room except for SPIN
• In order to prevent dangerous carbon dioxide concentrations when
operating SPIN in closed rooms, the following minimum room volume
must be observed.
Room size
Air exchange per hour Minimum room volume
0/hour 23 m³ (812 cu. ft), equaling e.g. an
area of 3 x 3 meters with a ceiling
height of 2.5 meters
0,2/hour 18 m³ (636 cu. ft), equaling e.g. an
area of 3 x 2.4 meters with a ceiling
height of 2.5 meters
0,5/hour 11 m³ (388 cu. ft), equaling e.g. an
area of 2 x 2.2 meters with a ceiling
height of 2.5 meters
The air exchange rate indicates how often the room volume is exchanged
by outside air within one hour. With window ventilation, the following air
exchange can be reached, for example:
Window position
Window and doors closed
Window tilted
Window fully open
Opposite window fully open
Window opening according to room size

1.4 Instructions as to location

• Please observe the respective, current local and national regulations
• Place SPIN on a solid, even and non-slip underground. Please ensure
• Pay attention to a safety distance of 0,6
• Do not operate SPIN under conditions of
• Do not operate SPIN under conditions of rain

1.5 Indoor and outdoor operating instructions

In combination with the increasing element or ground spike, SPIN must
only be operated outdoors. Without additional accessories (increasing
element or ground spike), SPIN can also be used in well-ventilated
