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. These models are fitted with castors and handles so they can moved from room to room with ease, and are normally positioned against a wall. A choice of 1kW or 2kW heat output is provided by the fan heater, which is located at the bottom of the unit. 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

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Using 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 - see Fig. 2.

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.

Using the Flame control

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

Brightness and flame effect control gives a choice of light and flame setting. At minimum setting, the flame effect and the fuel brightness will be lowest, indicated by a small bulb symbol on the control panel. Clockwise rotation of knob will increase the intensity of the effect (indicated by bulb symbols increasing in size) – see Fig 2.

Maintenance

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

Fig. 5

Remove the defective lamp by unscrewing it as shown - see Fig. 5. Replace with a 60W E14 SES Clear Candle lamp. Take care not to over-tighten the lamp. Refit the back panel and secure with the four screws.

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 of f. 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

For general cleaning use a soft clean duster – never use abrasive cleaners. The viewing screen should be cleaned carefully with a soft cloth. DO NOT use proprietary glass cleaners.
