Full details

Its key benefit is the airFLO convection system, providing up to 8 hours of warmth from a single fill. However, users should note that the heat output is dependent on the adjustable burner opening and it exclusively requires bio ethanol fuel.

FAQs

What kind of fuel does the OKO S5 stove use?

The OKO S5 bio ethanol stove exclusively uses liquid bio ethanol fuel. Do not use any other type of fuel, such as wood, gel fuel, or gas.

Do I need a chimney or flue for this stove?

No, the OKO S5 is a ventless bio ethanol stove and does not require a chimney, flue, or any external ventilation system. However, ensure the room is adequately ventilated for safety and comfort.

How do I adjust the flame and heat output?

The flame size and heat output are adjusted using the supplied control tool. This tool allows you to slide a mechanism over the burner opening, increasing or decreasing the flame intensity.

How long will the stove burn on one fill?

With its 1.5-liter burner, the stove can burn for up to 8 hours on a single fill. The actual burn time will vary depending on the flame intensity setting you choose.

Can this stove heat a large room effectively?

The OKO S5 provides up to 3kW of heat, which is suitable for ambient heating and creating warmth in medium-sized rooms (e.g., living rooms, dining areas). It is designed as a supplementary heat source rather than a primary heating solution for very large spaces.

How do I clean the OKO S5 stove?

Always ensure the stove is completely cool before cleaning. For the exterior, use a soft, damp cloth. For the glass, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner. The burner can be cleaned with warm, soapy water after all fuel has evaporated and it has cooled down, ensuring it's thoroughly dried before reuse.

Is it safe to leave the stove unattended?

While bio ethanol stoves are generally safe, it is always recommended to supervise any open flame appliance. Never leave children or pets unattended near an operating stove. Ensure adequate ventilation is maintained.

Troubleshooting

Stove won't light or flame is very weak.

Ensure the bio ethanol burner contains sufficient fuel. Check that the burner opening is not completely closed by the control tool. Use a long-stemmed lighter or match directly to the fuel surface.

Flame is too small or too large/intense.

Use the supplied control tool to adjust the sliding mechanism of the bio ethanol burner. Partially close it for a smaller, longer-lasting flame, or open it further for a larger, more intense flame and higher heat output.

Burn time is shorter than the advertised 8 hours.

The 8-hour burn time is an estimate and can vary based on the burner opening size. A wider opening will result in a larger flame and higher heat but will consume fuel faster. Try adjusting the opening to a smaller setting for extended burn time. Also, ensure the room is not overly drafty.

Soot or black residue appears on the glass or stove exterior.

This can sometimes occur if the room is poorly ventilated, if low-quality bio ethanol is used, or if the burner is overfilled. Ensure good air circulation. Use high-quality, pure bio ethanol fuel. Clean the glass and exterior with appropriate cleaners once the stove is completely cool.

Odor detected during operation.

A slight odor can be normal during the initial uses as protective coatings burn off. If the odor persists, ensure the room is adequately ventilated. Using high-quality, denatured bio ethanol fuel can also minimize odors. Never use scented bio ethanol as it can leave residues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic Flame Ambiance: Provides the visual appeal of a real fire without the complexities of wood-burning.
  • Chimney-Free Operation: Eliminates the need for a chimney, flue, or extensive ventilation systems, offering flexible placement.
  • Efficient Heating: The airFLO convection system contributes to better heat distribution.
  • Long Burn Duration: Offers up to 8 hours of continuous flame from its substantial 1.5-liter burner.
  • Stylish & Integrated Design: Modern charcoal grey finish with built-in log storage and matching stove pipe enhances any contemporary decor.
  • Adjustable Heat: Users can control the heat output to suit their comfort needs.

Cons

  • Fuel Dependency: Requires bio ethanol fuel, which must be purchased separately and stored safely.
  • No Primary Heating: While providing good ambient heat (up to 3kW), it may not be sufficient as a primary heat source for very large rooms.
  • Manual Adjustment: Heat output adjustment is manual via a control tool, not remote-controlled.
  • Requires Ventilation: Although ventless, adequate room ventilation is important when burning any fuel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
  2. Placement: Choose a stable, level, and non-flammable surface for the stove. Ensure adequate clearance from combustible materials as per local safety guidelines (Info needed: [specific clearance distances]).
  3. Stove Pipe: Place the tall angled metal stove pipe simply on top of the stove's designated fitting.
  4. Fueling: Ensure the burner is cool before adding bio ethanol fuel. Carefully pour bio ethanol into the 1.5-liter stainless steel burner, filling it no more than the indicated maximum level. Do not overfill.
  5. Ignition: Use a long-stemmed lighter or match to ignite the fuel in the burner.
  6. Adjustment: Use the supplied control tool to adjust the burner opening for desired flame size and heat output.

Compatibility

  • Fuel: Exclusively compatible with liquid bio ethanol fuel. Do NOT use gel fuels, wood, pellets, gas, or any other combustible materials.
  • Environment: Designed for indoor use in well-ventilated rooms. Not suitable for outdoor use or use in very small, unventilated spaces.
  • Safety: Ensure the stove is placed away from drafts, curtains, and high-traffic areas.

Care

  • Cleaning Exterior: When the stove is completely cool, wipe down the charcoal grey exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning Glass: For a clear view of the flame, clean the glass front with a non-abrasive glass cleaner specifically designed for fireplaces or stoves, only when the stove is cool.
  • Burner Maintenance: Regularly inspect the stainless steel burner for any residue. If needed, clean with a soft brush and warm, soapy water after it has fully cooled and all fuel has evaporated. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reuse.
  • Refueling: Always allow the burner to cool completely before attempting to refuel to prevent flare-ups and ensure safety.
  • Fuel Storage: Store bio ethanol fuel in its original container, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and out of reach of children and pets.
