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 and pebbles are packed separately within the carton. The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or 457mm (18") wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening see also section “Installation in a fire place opening”. A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half or full heat. The manual controls are located in the canopy (see Fig. 1) and the remote control is packed separately in the carton. 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.

Installation in a Fireplace Opening

At the rear of the fire, two adjustable supports are provided for levelling 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. The metal surround may be removed to allow the fire to be fully inset. Note: The fire must be positioned a minimum distance of 500mm from a wall as indicated in Fig. 1.

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 left hand side of the canopy heat outlet - see Fig. 1.

A switch is in the ON position when the red indicator mark on the switch is visible.

Note: When either the remote control or the manual controls are used, the neon’s will come on for 3 seconds indicating the relevant setting (see Fig. 3).

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.

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 lamp, the fuel effect which is secured by three screws, must be removed (see Fig.1). Remove the coal/pebbles and carefully lift the fuel effect/fuel effect trim clear and set aside. Remove the glass shelf and carefully set aside. Replace the defective lamp with a 240V 60 Watt E14 SES clear candle lamp. Replace the glass shelf then the fuel effect assy and secure with screws.

Safety cut-out

For your safety, this appliance has been fitted with thermal cut-out. In the event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heat off automatically. To bring the heat back into operation, remove the cause of the overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater for up to 10 minutes. When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the heater.

Caution: Inorder 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 circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
