OPERATION
After completely reading instructions, confirm that all controls on stove are in the off position. Plug the unit into a 15 amp, 120 volt outlet.
OPERATION
Controls and switches are located on front panel inside the glass door.
- FLAME: Press this button into the I position for main power and flame effect. The indicator light will turn on. See below for other control switches.
- HEATING: For low heat function – Press this switch while the FLAME switch is in the I position for low heat. The indicator light will turn on.
- TURBO: For high heat function – Press this switch while the FLAME and HEATING switches are in the I position for high heat. The indicator light will turn on.
- THERMOSTAT: To adjust the temperature to your individual requirements. Turn the thermo-stat dial to the right (clockwise) to increase the desired temperature and to the left for lower temperature. This thermostat control dial can only be used while the FLAME switch and HEATING/TURBO switches are in the I position.
- When the heater reaches the desired tempera-ture, the heater and Heating /Turbo indicator light will turn off but the fan will continue to operate. Adjust this knob to restart the heater.
FLAME INTENSITY : Turn the dimmer dial clockwise or counter clockwise to
get the desired flame intensity. The dimmer switch can only be used when the
FLAME switch is in the I position.
NOTE : When the FLAME switch is turned in O position, all other heater
functions will stop even though the switches may be in the I position.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat, according to the room
temperature. Set the thermostat dial fully clockwise to the maximum position
initially.
When the room is warm enough, reduce the setting by slowly turning the
thermostat dial anticlockwise until the heater just clicks off. This will then
maintain the room temperature at the desired level.
CAUTION
If you use this heater in conjunction with a thermal control, a program
controller, a timer or any other device that switches on the heater
automatically, remember to observe all safety warnings at all times.
The stove heater has a safety overheat protec-tion. If the overheat protection
trips, turn off the FLAME switch and unplug the power cord from the
receptacle. It should reset automatically after 5 minutes.
WARNING
Disconnect power and unplug the power cord before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury. The
bulbs in your unit can become extremely hot. Allow at least 10 minutes between
turning off the unit and removing the light bulbs to avoid the accidental
burning of the skin.
FLAME EFFECT
- The fire effect is created with the use of a 40-watt B-10 candelabra light bulb with an E-12 (small) socket base. The light bulb will have to be replaced from time to time when they burn out.
- During normal operation, the stove heater will always give you a simulated flame function. If the intensity of flame suddenly increases, it means that the light bulb is going to burn out.
- Replace the light bulb immediately according to the instructions and do not operate the stove heater when the light bulb burns out or without the light bulb.
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
- STEP 1: Open the door of the unit with the handle.
- STEP 2: Loosen the 2 screws at the front of the log set inside the stove. Carefully lift the log set up far enough to access the light bulbs. You will find 1 X 40W Type B-10 candelabra light bulb with E-12 socket base at the bottom.
- STEP 3: Replace the burned-out light bulb using a new 40-watt Type B-10 candelabra light bulb.
- STEP 4: Reinstall the log set.
- STEP 5: Plug in the unit.
