Introduction This fire incorporates a flame effect which can be used without
heating, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any
time of the year. The flame effect is provided by low wattage
motor and two 40 watt lamps. Using the flame effect on its
own, therefore, requires little electricity.
The controls are concealed behind the ash pan flap beneath
the firebox. A choice of 1 kW or 2kW thermostatically
controlled heat output is provided by the fan heater, which is
concealed beneath the unit.
This model is designed to be free standing and is normally
positioned against a wall.
Installation Instructions Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning
labels carefully).
Retain all packing until installation is complete.

infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children or infirm persons should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Thermostat operation
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room
temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce
heat unnecessarily when the room is warm.
Thermostat Fig.4
To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob
fully clockwise
to 'max' position. When the room is warm
enough, turn the knob back slowly until the thermostat just
clicks off. The heater will now maintain your selected
temperature.
Thermal safety cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the heater to
prevent damage due to overheating.
This can happen if the heat outlet were restricted in any way.
The heater will switch on once the obstruction has been
removed and the heater has cooled. If the cut-out continues to
operate intermittently, the heater should be switched off and a
service agent contacted.
