When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of

re, electrical shock and injury to persons, including the following:

8. ELECTRICITY
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must
correspond to the supply voltage. Before switching on, please read the safety advice and operating
instructions.

General Information

The re incorporates a ame 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 ame effect on its own requires little electricity. A choice of 650W or 1.3kW

heat output is provided by the fan heater which is located at the top of the unit.

Please note: If 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 ame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

Before switching on the appliance, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions.

Installation Instructions

This section describes how to set up your re.

Before installing this appliance in an existing chimney, we recommend that;

1. You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.

2. You block off the chimney ue.
This procedure is important for the efcient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the chimney.

BEFORE YOU START

1. Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible future
use e.g. in the event of moving house or returning the appliance to your supplier.

2. Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before installation.

3. Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the heater.

INSTALLATION

The appliance must be secured into position to prevent it from being tipped over. There are a number of methods to x

the appliance in place.

- Method A - Screwing the appliance to the replace surround

- Method B - Securing the appliance to the back of the replace with the steel cable and clamp

- Method C - Securing the appliance with optional spacer frame

Note - If xing to a marble replace surround, it is recommend that Method B is used.

The appliance can be tted into replaces or surrounds where the following dimension are available (Fig. 1).
Width: 410mm - 450mm Height: 560mm - 590mm Depth: 65mm (Minimum)

Method A (Fig. 2)

Place the appliance into the replace opening and ensure the appliance is positioned in the middle of the opening.
Locate the four xing holes in the side anges (Fig. 2). Mark the holes so that their position is clear when the appliance

is removed. With the appliance removed, drill an appropriate size hole in each of the marked positions for the wall plug
supplied. Insert the four wall plugs and reposition the appliance, aligning the holes with the wall plugs. Using the four
wood screws supplied, secure the appliance in position.

Method B (Fig. 3 & Fig. 4)

Note: This method of securing is recommended when it is not suitable to screw the appliance to the replace surround.
The xing kit supplied with the appliance includes a steel cable, eyescrew and cable clamp. These items can be used
to secure the appliance in place. Begin by marking a hole in the centre of the back of the replace approximately 565­575mm from the bottom of the replace (Fig. 3). Drill an appropriate size hole in the marked position, insert a wall plug

and screw the eyescrew into the wall plug. Re-position the appliance in front of the opening but do not insert it into the

opening. Locate the two same sized small holes at the top of the side anges of the re chassis. Thread about 300mm
of the steel cable into the bottom small hole on the left hand side ange of the appliance (Fig. 4 - Step 1). Thread the

other end of the cable through the remaining small hole directly above the other small hole. Continue to push the cable
through this hole until the cable locks into place (Fig 4a). (In order to get the cable to snap into place, both ends of the
cable may need to be pulled from the rear of the appliance.)

Next, thread the longer piece of cable through the eyescrew at the back of the replace opening (Fig. 4 - Step 2). From
the back of the appliance, thread the longer piece of wire through the top small hole on the right hand side ange of the
re chassis (Fig. 4 - Step 3).
Locate the appliance in the replace opening. From the front of the appliance, gently pull the longer piece of cable
that should be coming out the top small hole on the right hand side. Gather up the excess in the cable until the cable

becomes taut and the appliance is secured. Thread the clamp over the end of the cable and push it so that it rests on

the side ange of the re chassis. While pulling the longer piece of cable tight, screw the small screw supplied with the

cable and clamp into the clamp so that it secures the cable in place. Thread the remaining piece of cable through the
large hole to the left of the small hole. (Fig 4b).
