WARNING!
Danger of fire and deflagration due to fuel
residues in the Bio-Burner.
Fuel residues in the Bio-Burner will also
evaporate after extinguishing and can form
a flammable mixture with air in the glass
cylinder of the SPIN
Do not leave any residual fuel in the Bio-
Burner when you are no longer using the
SPIN.
If possible, use up all the fuel in the Bio-
Burner in one burn.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To protect the surfaces and avoid contamination of the flame, you
should clean SPIN regularly and before each use.
WARNING!
Allow the SPIN to cool completely before
cleaning.
Cleaning the Bio-Burner
• Clean the Bio-Burner holder regularly with a damp cloth.
Cleaning the glass cylinder
• The glass cylinder is made of high-quality borosilicate glass
and is easy to clean with a soft cloth and soap.
• After cleaning, rinse the glass cylinder thoroughly to remove all
soap residue. Soap residue increases the risk of soot deposits
on the glass and can burn into the glass.
Cleaning the body and base
• Do not use any strong or abrasive solvents or scouring pads to
clean the body and the base or any other parts, as these can
corrode the surfaces and leave marks.
STORAGE
• Do not expose the SPIN to the elements for long periods of
time.
• When not in use, store the SPIN in a dry, well-ventilated place
away from dust.
CAUTION!
After a long period of storage, first remove
dirt deposits and dust before using the SPIN
again.
We recommend using the cover hood, which
is available as an accessory.
CAUTION!
Make sure all liquid fuel is burned before
storing the SPIN!

TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ
The Bio-Burner cannot be ignited
• You used a different liquid fuel in the Bio-Burner than that
recommended by höfats.
→ There are special ethanols that can only be ignited in certain
products. These are not suitable for use in the SPIN. Empty
the Bio-Burner and refill it with höfats liquid fuel. You can
then ignite the SPIN again.
• The wadding has become soaked with water.
→ Remove the Bio-Burner from the SPIN. Then remove the
remaining liquid and leave the Bio-Burner open to dry for at
least 4 days. Then you can refill the Bio-Burner with liquid
fuel.
→ Once ignited, the SPIN will take a little longer than usual to
develop a full flame.
This should improve with the next burn runs.
Flame formation has changed
• You used a different liquid fuel in the Bio-Burner than that
recommended by höfats.
→ Therefore only use the liquid fuel from höfats in your SPIN.
• You are operating your SPIN when the wind is too strong.
→ The SPIN is not intended for use in strong winds. We strongly
advise against using it in wind or strong gusts.
The flame does not have a twisted shape.
• You used a different liquid fuel in the Bio-Burner than that
recommended by höfats.
→ Therefore only use the liquid fuel from höfats in your SPIN.
• Dirt on the Bio-Burner can affect the shape of the flame.
→ Remove dirt from the cover of the Bio-Burner with a brush.
