INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Berkeley, Brabazon, Casc ade, Oregon & Stanford (Th)

This product is only suitable for well insul ated spaces or occasional use

Installation & Precautions

Carefully remov e the fire from the packing, checking that neither the heater nor the pow er cable has been damaged during transport. Do not operate the fire if
either is damaged. Please bear in mind the weight of the fire before removal from the packaging and installation. Consider if help is r equired. Any al teration to the
power cable should only be done by a qualified electrician and to the Flamerite Fires gui delines stated below . Your fire is guaranteed for one year from the date of
purchase. In the unlikely ev ent of a breakdown you have access to our customer services team, si mply call 01543 251122 during office hours, 9am – 5pm or e-mail on

[e-mail]

The accessories are found in a box that is packed at the side of the fire.

Your fire has been designed for use as part of a fireplace mantel and s urround suite. A minimum depth of 70mm is required. The sta ndard dimensions of t he aperture
in the d ecorative back panel into w hich the fire fits are height 575mm and width 425mm (16.5” x 22.5”) On the Operetta however they are H 575mm (22.5”) x W
575mm (22.5”).

IMPORTANT: The fire must be positioned so that the plug socket is accessible once the fire has been installed. In the unlikely event of breakdown access must be
allowed for so that the fire may be serviced. This involves the fire being moved forward in order to access the rear. The mains cable must therefore be long
enough to allow this. If the removal of the plug is absolutely necessary for installation, cut off in an area within 100mm only of the plug itself. Do not cut the
cable fireside of the connector block; doing so will affect your warranty.

Where the inset fire is being used in an existing chimney, it is important that the chimney is blocked off to prevent airflow probl ems with the fire. Where a c himney
is not blocked off sufficiently it may cause the heater to cut out and the flame effect to stop or work poorly.

Electrical connections

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug tha t incorporates a 13A fuse. The replacement fuses must be 13A and ASTA approved. If the fuse cover is lost the plug must
not be used until a replacement cov er, of the same colour, is obtained an electrical retailer.
The appliance is fitted with a moulded plug if it is necessary cut of f the pl ug, for any reason, i t must be discarded immediately with the fuse removed. Under no
circumstances should any attempt be made to reuse the plug, d o not insert into an y 13A socket as this could cause a hazard.

OPERATING THE FIRE
Fire controls

• The on/off switch is locate d under the hood; this is marked with I/O and will need to be pushed in to illuminate the flame effect.

• The flame effect has to be illuminat ed for the hea ter to work. For heating the controls are loca ted un der the hood of the fire also next to the

on/off switch. For 1kw of heat push in th e switc h marked with a single bar I. For 2kw of heat push in the switch marked with t he double bars II.
Both switches have to be depr essed for 2kw of heat. The thermostat should be switched to maximum. Once the required room t emperature is
achieved turn the thermostat towards minimum until you hear a click. The thermostat will then regulate the room temperature automatically.

Thermostat information: There can be up to a 2 or 3 degrees drop or rise in t emperature for th e ther mostat to ac tivate or deactivate. The temperature i s
taken from around the fire unlike a wall thermostat that is usually position ed arou nd the middle of a r oom, so please allow for inaccuracies. Situations suc h
as room size or position of fireplace i.e. near a working radiator might cause the thermostat not to work efficiently.

automatically cut out if the airflow is obstructed. Never cover t he air outlets. To reset the ther mal cut out, switch the fire off, disconnect from the mains
supply, remove the cause of overheating an d allow ed to cool for a suitable period then switch the fire back on. Caution: In order to avoid a hazard due to

PROBLEM SOLVING

No power to the fire Check the wall socket, plug and fuse.

No illumination Turn off main on/off switch and leave for one minute to reset software or
Check dimmers set too l ow. C heck bulbs hav e not blown or internal fuse has n ot
blown (see maintenance). Heater will still work if any of the above are the case.

Heater cuts out continually The safety cut has operated see note on operating th e Fire. Where t he inset fire

is being used in an existing chimney, it is important that the chimney is blocked
off to prevent airflow probl ems with the fire. Where a chimney is not blocked of f
sufficiently it will cause the heater to cut out and the flame effect to stop or work
poorly.

Remote will n ot work. Check battery. See maint enance, Changing or matching remote frequency.

Loud humming noise when illuminated Due to moving parts, the electric fire will make a noise. This may vary slightly.

For a comparison it may be necessary to visit your local dealer. Important: your

home is quieter than a busy store.

Noise fr om the heat er when in use Same as above. As well as a slight humming noise the sound of rushing air will be

apparent. Both are normal.

Frame sits away from fire upon delivery There is a toleranc e of 2 to 4mm where to frame sits around the fire. This i s

normal. The frames are hand made. Held on by magnets it may be pulled upward
and off then replaced back o nto the fire in a si milar fashion if an obvious coming
away has occurred.
