Couldn't load pickup availability
The Planika 790 FLA4+ pairs the compact 790mm burner body with an extra-large 13.4-litre tank. The result: up to 21 hours of fire between refills, the longest burn you can get at this width. A stack of ceramic logs over the flame line gives the depth and look of a wood-burning fire, with none of the smoke, soot or sweeping.
It runs on BEV Technology, burning ethanol vapour rather than liquid fuel for clean, odour-free combustion. Operation is monitored continuously by a microprocessor and sensors, with automatic shut-off and a child lock. Six flame levels, controlled from the LCD touch panel, remote control or PLANIKA BEV app.
Refuelling is automatic: the pump connects to the control panel, the hose sits in the fuel bottle, and the system manages the whole cycle: filling, level monitoring and fuel recovery after switch-off.
Indoor use only. Minimum room volume 69m3. Requires a 230V power supply. Decorative logs and log trays included.
FLA4+ FLOGS
The traditional fire, reinvented
FLA4 FLOGS is a modern, automatic bioethanol fireplace insert that installs without a chimney or additional ventilation. A stack of ceramic logs surrounded by tall, lively flames recreates the visual depth of a traditional wood-burning fireplace — while burning cleanly, with no smoke, soot or ash.
Designed to look like a classic. Built to burn like the future. The result of advanced research and development, submitted for patent protection.
BEV® TECHNOLOGY
Burns vapour, not liquid
BEV Technology® creates the flame by burning ethanol vapours — the fire never comes into contact with the liquid fuel. Combustion is free of smoke, odour and ash: a Net Zero fireplace.
Every moment of operation is monitored by a microprocessor and sensors that detect any irregularity and respond immediately — with automatic shut-off and a child lock as standard.
Control your fire
-
Touch LCD panel
Adjust settings, check fuel levels or set a shut-off timer on the built-in LCD touch panel.
-
Remote control
You are in charge of the flames — choose from 6 flame levels to set the ambience, all from the handy remote.
-
PLANIKA BEV app
Control the fire with your smartphone — adjust flame settings and ambiance remotely (Google Play and App Store).
-
Smart Home
Optional Smart Home System (SHS) integration connects the fireplace to your wider home automation.
AUTOMATIC REFILLING
Never touch the fuel
An automated refilling system manages the entire flow cycle: filling the tank, continuous fuel-level monitoring, and fuel recovery after the burner is switched off.
A portable pump connects to the control panel while the hose tip sits inside the fuel bottle, creating a sealed, safe circuit. No overfilling. No spills.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the FLA4+ FLOGS
What is the Planika FLA4 bioethanol burner?
The FLA4 is Planika's automatic bioethanol burner range. The FLOGS models add a stack of decorative ceramic logs over the flame line: a bioethanol fire with the look of a wood-burning one and clean, flueless combustion. It's available in 790mm and 990mm widths, each in standard (FLA4) and extended-tank (FLA4+) versions.
What is the difference between FLA4 and FLA4+?
The fuel tank. FLA4+ models carry an extra-large tank: 13.4L in the 790 (up to 21 hours of burn time) and 17.2L in the 990 (up to 27 hours). Standard FLA4 models hold 4.3L (790, up to 7 hours) and 5.5L (990, up to 8 hours). Heat output, flame levels and controls are the same.
What is the difference between the 790 and 990 FLOGS burners?
Width and burn time. The 790 is 790mm wide; the 990 is 990mm wide with a longer flame line and a slightly larger tank. Both are 280mm deep, produce up to 6.9kW and need a minimum room volume of 69m3. Match the width to your fireplace opening or media wall.
Does the Planika FLA4 need a chimney or flue?
No. Bioethanol burns cleanly, producing only water vapour and a small amount of CO2. No chimney, flue or additional ventilation is required, which makes this Planika bioethanol burner suitable for apartments, multi-storey buildings and homes where wood or gas isn't an option. The burner is for indoor use only.
Does the FLA4 bioethanol burner need electricity?
Yes. The FLA4 is an automatic burner, so it needs a 230V (or 115V) power supply for the control system, sensors and automatic refilling pump. Plan a socket into your fireplace or media wall build.
How do you control the Planika FLA4?
Three ways: the LCD touch control panel on the burner, the included remote control, or the PLANIKA BEV app on your phone. All three give you six flame height levels, fuel level readings and a shut-off timer. Smart Home System integration is optional.
What is BEV Technology?
BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapour) Technology is Planika's patented combustion system. The flame burns ethanol vapours rather than liquid fuel, so the fire never touches the liquid in the tank. The result is clean combustion with no smoke, odour or ash, monitored continuously by a microprocessor and sensors.
How do you refill a Planika FLA4 burner?
You don't pour anything. A portable pump connects to the burner's control panel and the hose tip sits inside the fuel bottle. The system fills the tank, monitors the fuel level continuously and recovers fuel after switch-off. A sealed circuit, no overfilling, no spills.
Is the Planika FLA4 safe to use in a family home?
Yes. Operation is monitored continuously by a microprocessor and sensors that detect any irregularity and shut the burner down automatically. A child lock is built into the touch panel, and the automatic refilling system means you never handle liquid fuel near the fire.
What fuel does the Planika FLA4 use?
Bioethanol at 95-96.6% purity: an alcohol-based fuel derived from organic sources. Use pharmaceutical-grade bioethanol free from fragrances and gel additives for clean, odourless combustion and reliable burner operation.
