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 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.

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.

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.

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

In the event of a fault unplug the heater.
Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.
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.

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

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. The
Remote Control and batteries are packed separately in the carton.
Loose coals and pebbles are also packed separately within the carton.
When the heater is assembled the coals or pebbles are placed on top
of the fuel bed.

The 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. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little electricity.

The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or 457mm (18")
wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening or freestanding - see also
section ‘Installation in a fire place opening’.

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.

Installation in a Fireplace Opening

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

Adjust the foot by rotating it to the required position.
The metal surround may be removed (six screws) to allow the fire to

be fully inset as indicated in Fig. 2A. Alternatively the metal surround
may be left on and positioned freestanding against a wall as indicated
in Fig. 2B.

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.

Controls - see Fig. 4

The product can be controlled both manually and by remote control.

Manual Controls

The fire controls are located at the base of the fire behind the bottom
fret - see Fig. 3.

To gain access to controls, remove fret by pulling outwards using fret
knob. Two switches and a thermostat knob provide a choice of fire

settings see Fig. 4. The red indicator mark on the switch will be visible
when it is turned on.

Switch B Controls the electricity supply to the heater.

Note: This switch must be in the ON position for the heater to operate
with or without heat.

Switch A Controls the function of the fire.

Press once to give flame effect only.
Press again to give heat and flame effect.
Press again to go back to flame effect only.
Pressing ‘O’ at any stage turns the fire to standby mode.

Note: To turn fire completely off use switch B.

Thermostat

The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room
temperature.

This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when
the room is warm.

To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise
until the desired temperature is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold
room quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully.

When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat
knob anti-clockwise until the desired heat setting is achieved.

The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature.

Initializing the Remote Control

Note: The remote control is packed separately in the carton.

1. Slide open the battery cover on the back of the remote
transmitter.

2. Install the AAA batteries into the remote control (see
Fig. 7).

3. Replace battery cover.

Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to Provincial and
local regulations. Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different
battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced
at the same time, if disposed of in a fire or if an attempt is made to
charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

Remote Control Operation

Warning: It takes some time for the receiver to respond to the transmitter.
Do not press the buttons more than once within two seconds for
correct operation. On the control panel, switch B must be in the ‘ON’
position in order for the PCB to operate.

Setting Operation

Flame effect Press ‘I’ button once
Flame effect and heat Press ‘I’ button again

By continuously pressing the ‘I’ button the fire will cycle between flame
effect and flame effect plus heat.

To turn off any of the settings press the ‘O’ button once.

The remote control may be placed, when not in use, in the wall-mounted
holster provided (see Fig. 8). Screws and rawlplugs for wall fixing the
holster are provided.

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 outlet 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.

Maintenance

the lamps, remove the coal/pebbles and place in a container. Remove
the fuel effect from the fire by lifting it up and out from the slots on the
fire - see Fig. 5.

Remove the defective lamp by unscrewing it as shown in Fig. 6.
