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 this heater 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 or obstruct in any way the heat outlet grille
located at the top of the heater or the heat outlet at the
base of the heater. Overheating will result if the heater is
accidentally covered.

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.

In the event of a fault unplug the heater.

Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.

Ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible
material are positioned no closer than 1 metre from 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.

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.

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.

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 pebbles, a flat fuel bed, a remote control and
batteries are packed separately within the carton.

The fire is supplied fitted with a ‘log fuel effect’. To change from
the ‘log fuel effect’ to ‘pebbles fuel effect’ see ‘Lamp/Fuel effect
Replacement’.

This fire incorporates a flame effect which can be used with or
without heating, so that comforting effect may be enjoyed at any
time of the year. The flame effect is provided by a low wattage
motor and two 60 watt lamps. Using the flame effect on its own,
therefore, requires little electricity.

The controls are located at the bottom right hand corner of the
appliance (see ‘x’ in Fig. 1). A choice of 750W or 1500W heat
output is provided by the fan heater, which is concealed at the top
of the heater behind the removable front panel.

The fire is designed to be fitted into a large fireplace opening or a
purpose built structure - see Fig. 2 for recommended sizes for
opening.

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.

Installation

The fire is designed to be fitted into a large fireplace opening or a
purpose built structure - see Fig. 2 for recommended sizes of

Seal all draughts and vents to prevent chimney debris from falling
onto the Fireplace Insert. Do not install into an existing fireplace
that is prone to dampness.

At the base of the fire, four adjustable feet (see ‘A’ in Fig. 1) are
provided for levelling the fire where the base of the fireplace
opening is raised above the level of the hearth.
