Safety Warnings

When using electrical appli ances, Basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock and injury to persons, including the
following:

If the appliance is damaged, check with the supplier
before installation and operation

Do not use outdoors.

Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a bath,
shower or swimming pool.

Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed
socket outlet or connection box.

Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation
around the heater, for instance by curtains or furniture,
as this could cause overheating and a fire risk.

in the vicinity of the heater.

Introduction

In the event of a fault unplug the heater.

Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.

This fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with
or without heating, so that the comforting effect may be
enjoyed at any time of the year. The flame effect is provided
by low wattage motors and two 40 watt lamps. Using the
flame eff ect on its own, therefore, requires little electricity.

The manual controls and the remote control are located
behind the firebox door. A Choice of 1kw or 2kw
thermostatically controlled heat output is provided by the fan
heater, which is concealed beneath the unit.

• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is
accessible.

This model is designed to be free standing and is normally
positioned against a wall.

• If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

IMPORTANT: THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
