THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Check that the voltage stamped on the rating label of your fire is the same as your house elec­tricity supply which must be AC (alternating current).
The mains cord of the fire has a UK type plug fitted with a 13amp fuse. When replacing a fuse,
use a 13amp fuse approved to BS 1362. The fuse cover of a moulded on plug must be refitted
when changing the fuse. Should the fuse cover become lost, the plug must not be used until the
correct replacement fuse cover is obtained from your service agent.
The wires in the mains supply cord are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green
and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
If your fire is fitted with a moulded on mains plug which is not suitable for the socket outlets in
your home, the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one fitted, OR IF DESIRED THE FIRE
CAN BE FITTED WITH A FUSED SWITCH ISOLATOR.
Note: A plug cut off from a flexible cord will give a shock hazard if inserted in a 13 amp socket
elsewhere in the house. To avoid this it should be disposed of immediately.
If you are fitting an alternative type of plug then the colours of the wires in the mains cord may
not correspond with the identifying markings on the plug terminals. In this case proceed as fol­lows:
The wire which is coloured Green/Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured Green or Green/Yellow. The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter N or coloured Black. The wire which is coloured
Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter L or coloured
Red.

•

Always install the fire so that the plug is accessible.

•

Do not cover or hang clothes, towels etc over or near the heater as this could cause over

heating and possible damage.

•

The heater should not be used immediately below a socket outlet.

•

Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower or near any source of

Water.

•

Ensure that sufficient cable length is fitted to enable the mains socket to be re moved

from the appliance without stretching.
Do not use this heater with an external programme controller, thermal control, timer or any other
device which switches the heater on automatically as a fire risk may occur if the heater has been
accidentally covered or moved
HARD WIRING THE FIRE.
IF DESIRED THE FIRE CAN BE HARD WIRED TO A SWITCHED FUSED ISOLATOR.
IF A SWITCH FUSED ISOLATOR IS USED ENSURE THAT THE FUSE IN THE ISOLATOR IS
FITTED W ITH A FUSE RATED AT 13AMP TO BS1362. It is recommended that this work be
undertaken by a competent engineer

UNPACKING ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION. AND GENERAL SAFETY

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 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.
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.
