Important Safety Advice

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and injury to persons, including the following:

• If the appliance is damaged, check immediately 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.

•

DO NOT leave young children, the elderly, or the infirm
unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater.

•

DO NOT use this heater in series with thermal control, a
programmable controller, a timer or any other device
that switches the heater 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
1meter from the heater.

•

In the event of a fault unplug the heater.

•

Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.

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

• 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.

Installation in a Fireplace Opening

At the rear of the fire, two adjustable supports are
provided for leveling the fire where the base of the
fireplace opening is raised above the level of the
hearth.

Adjust by removing the two screws holding each
bracket in position, then refit the bracket and the two
screws in the required position.

Operation

The unique flame effect may be enjoyed whether or
not the heating elements are in operation.
'Please note: Used in an environment where
background noise is very low, it may be possible to
hear the fan which operates the flame effect. This is
normal and should not be a cause for concern'.

Controls

The heater controls are located on the right hand side
beneath the hinged canopy cover.
Raise the canopy cover to access the controls.

Three switches provide a choice of heat settings and
an adjustable thermostat enables the room
temperature to be controlled by adjusting the setting
accordingly.
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.

Switch 2 - Provides 1kw heat output, with thermostat
control.

Switch 3 – Provides 2kw heat output with switch 2, with
thermostat control

Setting the Thermostat

Plug in and set all switches to ON. Turn the thermostat
knob to MAX to warm the room rapidly. When the
room temperature has reached the desired level, turn
the thermostat knob back slowly until the thermostat
just clicks 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 than the thermostat
setting.

The product complies with the European Safety Standards EN60335-2-30 and the European Standard Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) EN55014, N60555-2 and EN60555-3 which cover the essential requirements of EEC Directives 73/23 and 9/336
