Introduction This 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.

The flame effect is provided by low wattage motors and two 60 watt lamps.

Using the flame effect on its own, therefore requires little electricity.

The controls are concealed behind the canopy cover. A choice of 1kW or

2kW thermostatically controlled heat output is provided by the fan heater.

These models are designed to be inset in a fireplace opening.

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.

Switch1- Controls the electricity supply to the heater and the flame effect.
Switch2- Provides 1KW heat output with thermostat control.

Switch3- Provides 2KW heat output with Switch 1, which is thermostatically
controlled.

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.

Thermostat. Note: Once the thermostat has switched the appliance off it may take some

time before the heater comes back on. This does not mean that the appliance
is faulty.

Thermal Safety Cut-Out.

A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the heater to prevent damage due

to overheating.

This can happen if the heat output was restricted in any way. 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 a service agent contacted.
