•
WARNING: This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when
they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
Do not allow the heater to be covered as this may cause overheating. The appliance must not be placed near curtains or similar material. A
clearance space of at least one metre should be allowed in front of the appliance.
The electrical socket that the appliance uses MUST be easily accessible. Do not route the supply cord directly over or above the heater unit. If
the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or competent person.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The appliance is suitable for installation into all proprietary surrounds with an opening of 406mm by 559mm (16” by 22”). The appliance is supplied fitted with 2 spacer frames enabling it to be fitted with no need for a recess into a wall or surround back panel. Both spacer frames have
a depth of 57mm. The appliance can be fully recessed if the opening depth is 113mm or greater and neither spacer is used. It may be installed
directly into any proprietary surround which can house this size of rebate, without the need to recess the appliance into a wall opening or fabricate a false chimney breast.
This appliance should be positioned on a firm level surface and in a clean ‘dust free’ environment. If the fire is to be sited in a fire surround then
the suitability of the surround for use with electrical heaters should be established with the fire surround manufacturer.
If fitted into an open draught fireplace, it is advisable to blank off the chimney to reduce the risk of draught through the fire, which may cause
the safety cut out system in the fan heater to operate.

The heater is operated via the use of two switches, one situated on the left hand side of the canopy and one on the right. The switch on the
left hand side towards the top, marked (0I), controls the main power to the appliance and switches on the LED display panel.
The next switch on the right hand side, with a “single bar” marked (I) and a “two single bars” marked (II) operates the low heat, (1kW) and the
high heat (2kW).
To operate the fire in any of the above modes, the top switch marked (OI) must be switched to the “on” position.
This appliance has a safety cut-out system fitted which will activate if the air inlets or heater outlets are obstructed. For safety reasons the fire
WILL NOT switch on again automatically.
The following procedure must be carried out before the fire can be operated again:
1. Unplug the power supply cable at the outlet socket and place all switches to off at the appliance.
2. Leave the fire OFF for a period of not less than 15 minutes, ensuring any obstructions are removed.
3. Plug in the power supply cable at the outlet socket, and then switch on at the appliance.
If the appliance fails to operate correctly, repeat the above procedure. If an attempt to switch on is made before the safety cut-out has reset,
the heaters may cut-out for a further period of time. If the sequence has been followed correctly and the heaters still fail to function, check the
power supply cable plug is plugged in at the outlet socket. If this is not the cause, call an electrician.

7.0 SAFETY CUT-OUT SYSTEM
Dependent on your installation requirements, you may wish to install the appliance in three different ways.
1: Flat wall – If you are putting the fire against a wall with no recess, you will use both of the
spacers that are fitted to the fire. You will be able to use either the sticky double sided neoprene strips, or, secure the fire to the wall using the key hole slots on the rear of the spacer
frame with screws.
2: Semi recessed - If you are putting the fire against a wall with a recess of 60mm or more,
you will be able to remove one of the spacers that are fitted to the fire, so that your fire can
sit further back on the hearth. You will be able to use either the sticky double sided neoprene
strips, or, secure the fire to the wall using the key hole slots on the rear of the spacer frame
with screws. See section 9.0 Removing the appliace spacer frame.
Method 1 - Installation with spacer/s
Neoprene – To use the Double sided Neoprene strips, you will need to cut two pieces to
570mm and one piece to 430mm, the long pieces will run from the top to bottom of the rear
facing spacer, and the short piece will run from left to right in between the two side pieces.
Method 2
Screw fixings. Using suitable fixings for your wall or surround, mark the centre of your open-
ing and measure 227mm to the left and then again to the right. From there measure from the
floor 304mm up the wall. This will be the centre of the screw. Fit the screws leaving a 2mm gap
Once you have fitted the screws in place, offer the fire up to the hearth and lift the fire by a
small amount to locate the two keyhole slots on the back of the fire over the screws. When
you lower the appliance, it will now be locked in place.

9.0 REMOVING THE APPLIANCE SPACER FRAMES
The appliance may be supplied with a decorative frame in a variety of finishes.
IMPORTANT : Due to the possibility of sharp edges, care should be taken when handling the frame components. The use of
protective gloves is recommended.
All models : If not pre-fitted, the frame’s should be placed over the outer edges of the fireframe and fixed with magnets. The sides should be
fixed first, followed by the top bar, which overlaps the sides. Push firmly home. A plastic protective film may be applied to the outside of the
frame and should be removed at this stage.
Cast frame models : Remove the decorative frame from it’s protective packaging. The frame is retained onto the firebox with a mounting
bracket at the top of the frame and three magnets on each leg of the frame.
IMPORTANT: Loose fuel bed options are only available with the Lulworth model.
The Lulworth LED inset electric fire has the option of either a real coal or pebble fuel bed. Simply
remove the coals or pebbles from their packaging and position the coals or pebbles onto the the
plastic fuel bed, which is below the curved fascia panel.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE AT THE SUPPLY OUTLET SOCKET BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY CLEANING.
Except for periodic cleaning of dust, there are no specific requirements for care, other than regular cleaning of the general appliance. A wipe
with a dry cloth is normally sufficient. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Make sure the heater outlet grille (located next to the switches), and the air inlet mesh grillesare kept clear of dust, pet hair and other airborne household matter. These should be
vacuum cleaned periodically using a brush attachment.
