• This heater must be used on an AC supply only and the voltage marked on the heater’s rating label must correspond to the supply voltage.

• DO NOT switch the appliance on until it is properly installed as described in this manual.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.

• CAUTION: Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

4.0 COMPONENT CHECKLIST

Quantity Description

1 Fire suite 1 Remote control handset 2 Wall plugs 2 Washers 2 Fixing screws

5.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS

It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat from the room surroundings to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater. Installing the heater next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air, (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing. If the appliance is to be secure on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to secure the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour barrier and/or structural members of the house frame are not damaged. If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to secure the appliance and/or which type of wall fixing to use, you should take professional advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.

• From time to time, check the cord for damage. Never use the appliance if the cord or any part of the appliance shows signs of damage.

• DO NOT run the mains cable under carpets, rugs etc.

• DO NOT cover or obstruct the heater in any way. Overheating will result if it is accidentally covered.

• Never immerse the product in water or any other liquids.

• DO NOT use the appliance outdoors.

• Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is unplugged from the power and that it is completely cool.

• DO NOT clean the appliance with abrasive chemicals.

• Never use accessories that are not recommended or supplied by the manufacturer. It could cause danger to the user or damage to the appliance.

• DO NOT insert or allow foreign objects to enter the inlet or outlet vents as this may result in electric shock, fire or damage to the appliance.

• DO NOT install the fire using an extension cord.

• Unplug from the mains supply if the appliance is not to be used for long periods.

DO NOT

• recess any part of the appliance into the wall, or run the supply cable under carpets

• site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials could cover e.g. below a coat rack

• site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/damage could occur

• site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard

• sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance

• obstruct, cover or force items into the openings

• use the heater to dry clothes

• site/use in an outdoor location(s) It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are dependent on the securing location as defined below:

• The minimum distance to the front of the appliance is 900mm.

• There are no clearances for above or to the side of the appliance, apart from being clear of curtains and drapes.

8.0 INSTALLATION

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT THIS TIME.

Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages that may occur due to improper installation or handling.

Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the appliance, if any. After having selected the final position of the appliance taking into account the integrity of the wall the electric suite may be secured to the wall.

To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the installation so that the strength of both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient. The appliance should not be installed until all wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been completed. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto which the appliance is installed must be flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid sloped surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a vertical wall may result in fire, damage or injury.

If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity brick wall, or a solid wall, then the wall plugs and fixing screws provided may be used. Depending on the condition of the wall it may be necessary to use additional fixings. In this situation, any additional fixings and wall plugs should be of the same size and type as the ones provided.

The wall where the appliance is to be

installed must be capable of

long-term support of the total load of

the appliance. Measures should also

be taken to ensure sufficient strength

to withstand the force of

earthquakes, vibration and other

external forces. Plasterboard alone is

not considered to be a structural

material. It is not recommended to

rely on plasterboard fixings alone to

support the weight of the appliance.

WARNING

 

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts should be made to fix one position vertically, into one of the wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the wall using the fixing screws provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be strengthened using appropriate building materials.

10.0 SAFETY CUTOUT SYSTEM

Figure 5

Fire is not switching on Ensure mains switch is on

Replace the fuse in the plug.

Pebbles glow but flame effect does not work

Check to see if the spinning motor is working. If not contact Focal Point Fires.

Heater doesn't work, but Power and Heater switches / buttons are in the "ON" position

Turn all switches / buttons to the "OFF" position and unplug the unit from the wall outlet for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes plug the unit back into wall outlet, and operate as normally.

Fire seems noisy There is a level of noise when the flame effect is in use,

caused by a motor that helps generate the effect. This noise will be heard when there is no other background noise.

There is a higher level of noise associated with the heater motor; this is due to the air flow required when heat has been selected.

Remote is not operating Check or replace batteries.
