Setup & Product Dimensions

Setup & Product Dimensions

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. These models are designed to be free-standing and are normally positioned against a wall. The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without heating, so thatthe comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little electricity. A choice of 1kW or 2kW heat output is provided by the fan heater, which is located at the bottom of the unit. 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 that is related to the operation of the flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

CAUTION: Except for installation and cleaning described in this manual, an authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.

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 warnings and operating instructions.

Light Emitting Diode

This fire is fitted with LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs in place of traditional incandescent bulbs. These generate the same light levels as traditional bulbs, but use a fraction of the energy consumed. These LED lamps are maintenance-free and should not require replacing during the life of the product.

Operation

Controls

The switches provide a choice of heat settings, The appliance is in standby mode when the mains lead is plugged in. This is indicated by the red neon behind the flame effect screen. The two selector switches are in the ON position when the side with the markings on (i.e. I, or II) is pushed

1. Selector switch 1 (I) Controls the electricity supply to the appliance and the flame effect. Press for ‘ON’ & ‘Standby’. If both selectors switch 2 and 3 are in the OFF position, the product works on flame effect only.
2. Selector Switch 2 (I) Provides 1kW heat output.
3. Selector Switch 3 (II) Provides 2kW output with switch 2 also pressed.

Thermostat (T)

In order to maintain a certain room temperature, set the controller to ‘max.’. Operate the appliance at full power until the required room temperature is reached. Set back the thermostatic controller until the appliance switches off with an audible “click”. This temperature will be kept almost constant by the thermostatic control switching on and off automatically. Please note that the appliance can only be switched on when the thermostat setting is higher then the room temperature.

Cleaning

Over time, dust can accumulate which can effect performance. It is recommended to clean the unit at least once a month.

CAUTION: ALWAYS Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply before undergoing any cleaning and maintenance.

• For general cleaning use a soft clean duster – never use abrasive cleaners. The glass viewing screen should be cleaned carefully with a soft cloth.
