SXRX round tabletop bioethanol fireplace on a stable surface

SXRX Placement Guide

A tabletop flame begins with the right place

Before thinking about décor, plan the surface, airflow and surrounding clearance for this round, manually operated bioethanol fireplace.

Verified live details: manual control, 304 stainless steel and tempered glass, freestanding/tabletop use, plus current 300 × 300 × 250 mm and 1200 × 1200 × 250 mm variants.

1. Let the surface do the quiet work

Use a flat, stable, heat-resistant and non-combustible surface. A substantial stone, concrete or properly specified fire-resistant base is preferable to narrow or lightweight furniture. Keep the burner level, and never move it while operating or hot.

Stable base

Wide enough for the unit and resistant to tipping.

Clear circulation

Away from busy walkways, sleeves, bags, children and pets.

Open sightlines

The round flame can be enjoyed from several seats without crowding it.

2. Match the footprint to the room

Current size Planning implication
300 × 300 × 250 mm Compact, but still needs a stable base and full clearance.
1200 × 1200 × 250 mm Needs a substantial surface and generous circulation.

3. Design around ventilation and clearance

The current listing specifies well-ventilated areas and at least 50 cm from flammable materials. Keep curtains, shelves, soft furnishings and decorations from crowding or overhanging the unit. Follow the supplied manual, local rules and professional guidance where applicable.

Before lighting

  • Confirm the fireplace is level and stable.
  • Ventilate the space and clear flammable objects.
  • Keep the supplied extinguishing tool accessible.
  • Use the specified fuel and follow the product manual.
  • Never refuel while burning or hot; wait until fully cool.

4. Know what “manual” means

Some catalog wording includes smart-related terms, but the live product description identifies this SXRX model as manually operated. Its flame is extinguished with the supplied snuffer lid/tool. Do not assume remote or automatic control.

Read our SXRX manual shutdown checklist, or compare square and round burner shapes.
