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

Important Safety Advice:

When using electrical appliances, 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.

This appliance is not intended for use by children or other persons without assistance or supervision if their physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them from using it safely. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Do not use this heater in series with a thermal control, a program controller, a timer or any other device that switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk exists when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced. Ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible material are positioned no closer than 1 metre from the heater.

In the event of a fault unplug the heater.

Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.

Although this heater complies with safety standards, we do not recommend its use on deep pile carpets or on long hair type of rugs.

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

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.

Keep the supply cord away from the front of the heater.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater. Do not place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the heater.

The heater carries a DO NOT COVER warning.

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.

The 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. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little electricity.

The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16”) or 457mm (18”) wide by 559mm (22”) high fireplace opening or freestanding - see also section ‘Installation Instructions’.

A 2kw fan heater is discreetly positioned in the canopy of the fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half or full heat. A distance of 1 metre (39”) must be maintained between the front of the heater and any surrounding furniture, overhanging curtains or other obstrustions.

To reduce heat loss and to prevent any chimney up draft affecting the operation of your inset fire we recommend they the chimney flue is sealed off.

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 a sound which is related to the operation of the flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

Electrical connection.

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.

PLEASE RETAIN THIS USER’S GUIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Installation Instructions

Before installing this appliance in an existing chimnney, we recommend that;

1.You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.

2.You block off the chimney flue.

This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the chimney.

Installation.

Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully).

Retain all packing for possible future use e.g. in the event of moving or returning the appliance to your supplier.

To install the appliance;

1.Clean the area where the fire will be installed e.g remove ash residue from an existing fireplace.

2.Use the two adjustable supports at the rear of the appliance to ensure that the fire is level.

3.Make sure the unit is switched OFF.

4.Hold the fire by the sides of surround and gently manoeuvre into position. Plug the fire into a 13amp/240 volt outlet. Ensure that the supply cable is not trapped under the fire such that it might cause it to be damaged.

Before using the manual controls firstly fill the water tank (See ‘Maintenance’, ‘Filling the water tank’).

Manual Controls.

The Opti-myst manual controls are located beneath the hinged canopy. Raise the canopy to access the controls. (See Fig.2 for Manual Control lay out)

Switch ‘A’:- Controls the electricity supply to the Fire.

Note: This switch must be in the ‘ON’ ( I ) position for the Fire to operate either with or without heat.

Switch ‘B’:- Pressonce to turn on the flame effect. This will be indicated by an audible beep. Although the main lights operate immediately it will take a further 30 seconds before the flame effect starts.

Pressagain to give flame effect and half heat. This will be indicated by two beeps. Pressagain to give flame effect and full heat. This will be indicated by three beeps. Pressagain to return to flame effect only. This will be indicated by one beep.

Press to put fire in to standby mode. This will be indicated by one beep.

Control Knob ‘C’:- Controls the Thermostat setting.

Turning the control knob Anti Clockwise will decrease the temperature setting, turning the control knob Clockwise will increase the temperature setting.

Control Knob ‘D’:- Controls the intensity of the flame effect.

Turning the control knob Anti Clockwise increases the flame effect, turning the control knob Clockwise will decrease the flame effect.

When the water in the tank and in the sump runs out the main lamps will go out. See instructions under ‘Maintenance’, ‘Filling the water tank’. When this procedure is complete, the main lamps will illuminate but it will take 30 seconds before the flames return.

Setting the Thermostat

Plug in and switch on the fire to the full heat setting. Turn the Control Knob ‘C’ fully clockwise (max temperature setting) to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back slowly until you hear the thermostat just click off. The heater will then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.

Note: Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher then the thermostat setting

Thermal safety cut-out

A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet was restricted in any way or if the chimney flue has not been blocked off effectively. If the cut-out operates, unplug the heater from the socket outlet and allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the heater back on remove any obstruction that may be restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.

Caution: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a switch that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
