Site Selections and Preparation
This section provides instructions for selecting a location and preparing the site to install the Log Grate
-
Select a suitable location that ensures the Log Grate is sitting on a hard level surface for optimum flame effect
-
Allow for approximately 5cm of clearance behing the unit ( from the frame to the back of the mantle) and 20cm directly above the back log to allow for removal of the Refill Container.
-
Carefully unpack all of the components from the box.
Caution: Handle the logs carefully, that are fragile and can easily crack or break if dropped.
-
Unpack the transducer (contained within the water reservoir) which has been wrapped to protect it during shipping. See Figure 1.
To access the transducer;
• Remove the top cover by turning the retaining tabs on both ends of the water reservoir.
• Remove any packaging material.
• Install the transducer so that it is sitting level in the circular holding area in the resevoir.
• Orientate the transducer wire so that it does not sit directly above the Emitter and the wire passes through the slit in the side of the tank.
• Reinstall the top cover and ensure both retaining tabs have been turned so that they are pointing inwards.
Note : Completely assemble the unit before filling the water
Log Grate Assembly
Caution : Handle logs carefully, they are fragile and can easily crack or
break, if dropped.
Each log is a separate component that needs to be placed on the grate. Position each log so that the hook and loop pad on the backside of the log lines up with the corresponding hook and loop pad on the log grate. These pads assist with securing the logs to the grate.
Note : Each of these logs are hand made, and as such, the hook and loop pads on the logs and grate may not align perfectly, therefore, we have included additional pads should you need to reposition them.
Each of the logs contain LED lights to create a flickering effect. During the
assembly, each log requires the electrical connectors on the log and grate to
be connected as they are being placed. In some cases, these wires can have tie
wraps added to prevent the wires from being seen after final assembly. (not
included)
Caution: Ensure that the logs are placed so that they are not blocking
the flame effect outlet
Only use filtered tap water in this appliance.
Once installed, never move this appliance or lay it on its back, without
draining the water from the
sump and water tank.
If you intend not using the appliance for longer than 1 week, drain the water
from the reservoir and
refill container.
The refill container, reservoir, cover and container cap must be cleaned once
every week,
particularly in hard water areas.
