3.0 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

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.

DO NOT

- site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance.

- site in a position where 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).

- run the supply cable under carpets.

- Mount on a wall

Read all the instructions before continuing to unpack or install this appliance. Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging and lay on the

Read All Instructions Before Use

Check that the heater outlet grille, mounted at the top of the appliance, is not covered or obstructed in anyway, and ensure the power to the
fire is switched on. The power to the LCD display panel and the heater functions are controlled using three switches mounted underneath the
hood on the left hand side.

Controlling the heater functions

The first switch towards the top, marked (0I), controls the main power to the appliance and switches on the LCD display panel. This feature
can be used independently of the heating features.

The next switch down, with a “single bar” marked (I) operates the low heat, (1kW), setting.

The switch at the bottom, with “two single bars” marked (II), operates the high heat, (2kW) setting.
To operate the fire in any of the above modes, the top switch marked (OI) must be switched to the “on” position.

5.0 COMPONENT CHECKLIST

6.0 OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

Controlling the

LCD display panel

LCD on/off control: The LCD

display may be switched on and

off indepenently of the heater

functions by using the LCD on/off

button as shown in figure 10.

Scene select buttons: The

appliance is pre-programmed

with nine different scenes as

shown in figures 1 through 9.

These scenes have been specially

edited to run in a seamless loop.

When the appliance is switched

on, the log fire scene will auto-

matically run. To select a different scene press the appropriate scene select button to

choose the desired scene. During normal operation the footage may occasionally be seen

to ‘freeze’ for a fraction of a second. This happens as the scene is recycled to loop again.

This is perfectly normal and should be no cause for concern.

Volume up, down and mute button: Some of the LCD scenes include sound effects.

These buttons raise and lower the volume. The Mute button mutes the speakers. While the

speakers are muted, a symbol will be displayed on screen. Press again to de-activate.

The appliance can be switched off at any time, irrespective of the particular

mode selected, by simply switching the first switch marked (OI) to the “off”

position. It is also recommended to unplug the power supply cable at the supply

outlet when not in use.

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.

NOTE: The LCD display panel will remain operational if the cut-out is activated, only the fan heater elements are prevented

from operating.

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 10 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.

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT
THIS TIME

To ensure the appliance is positively located into position, it is necessary to secure it in place using
the double-sided neoprene strips included in the instruction pack.
Peel off the adhesive backing from one side of each strip and apply to the periphery of the REAR of
the appliance frame, as shown in figure 11. Ensure that the strips are not applied any closer than 5mm
(1/4”) from the edge of the frame, attaching the strips closer may present problems when fitting the
decorative trim. Tear off any excess lengths of strip to form a neat border around the frame. Before
finally fitting the appliance into its location, remove the remaining strips of adhesive backing, ensure
that the mains cable and plug are properly routed, locate the fire into the opening and press firmly
around the edge of the frame to allow the strips to adhere to the back panel of the surround.

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 clip-on frame pieces should be hooked over the outer edges of the fireframe, and pushed firmly home. 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.

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.

GLASS SCREEN - This should only be cleaned using a suitable glass cleaner. Test on a small area first.

There are no internal user serviceable parts.

Check security of supply cable and connections. If the supply cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a service agent or competent per­son, such as a qualified electrician.
The wires in the cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:

LIVE - Brown
NEUTRAL - Blue
EARTH - Green/Yellow

Refer to Section 2.0, Appliance Data for fuse specification. Excluding fuses, use only genuine manufacturers spare parts available from your sup­plier.
