General

Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for
possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the
fire to your supplier. Loose coals are packed separately
within the carton. When the heater is assembled the coals
are placed on top of the fuel bed.

The heater is designed to be used free-standing.

A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the
fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half
or full heat.

Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage
is the same as that stated on the heater.

Please note: Used in an environment where background
noise is very low, it may be possible to hear the motor
which operates the flame effect. This is normal and should
not be a cause for concern.

Electrical

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the
voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply
voltage.
Before switching on, please read the safety warnings and
operating instructions.
For your convenience, the heater is fitted with a rewireable
plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing
the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp fuse approved by
ASTA to BS1362 must be used.

Operation

The unique flame effect may be enjoyed whether or not the
heating elements are in operation.

Controls

The heater controls are located on the right hand side of the
canopy heat outlet.

Three switches provide a choice of heat settings.
A switch is in the ON position when the red indicator mark on
the switch is visible.

Switch 1 - Controls the electricity supply to the heater

and the flame effect.
Note: This switch must be in the ON position
for the heater to operate.

Safety cut-out

An automatic cut-out will switch off the heater if for any
reason it overheats. This could occur for instance, if the air
inlet or outlet were restricted in any way. If the cut-out
operates, the heater will switch off. 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 Customer Services
contacted.

Cleaning

Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow
it to cool.
The surfaces of the heater should be given an occasional
wipe over with a dry soft cloth.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish
on the body of the heater.
The glass screen should be cleaned carefully with a
chamois leather. DO NOT use proprietary cleaners.
To remove any accumulation of dust or fluff the soft brush
attachment of a vacuum cleaner should occasionally be
used to clean the outlet grille of the fan heater located under
the canopy.
To clean the fuel effect, remove the coals and wash in warm
water. The plastic tray should be wiped clean with a damp
cloth. When dry replace the coals and arrange for best effect.

Switch 2 - Provides 1kw heat output.

Switch 3 - Provides 2kw heat output with switch 2.

Maintenance

WARNING – BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY MAINTENANCE OR
CLEANING, REMOVE PLUG OR DISCONNECT FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

Lamp Replacement

There are two lamps located beneath the fuel effect. To gain
access to the lamps, remove the coals and place in a
container, remove the two screws from the grate (see Fig. 1)
and lift out the plastic fuel effect and grate assembly to reveal
the lamp. Remove the rotisserie by carefully sliding the
rubber connecter off the motor shaft. Replace the defective
lamp with a 240V 60W E14 SES candle lamp.

Replace plastic fuel effect and grate and place coals back
on fuel effect.
