When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, including the following:

If the appliance is damaged, check with the supplier before installation and operation.

– Do not use outdoors.
– Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower or a swimming pool.
– Do not use this heater if it has been dropped.
– Do not use if there are visible signs of damage to the heater.
– Use this heater on a horizontal and stable surface, or fix it to the wall, as applicable.
– Do not locate the appliance immediately below a fixed socket outlet or connection box. The appliance carries the Warning symbol DO NOT COVER, indicating that it must not be covered.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with re-duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by Children without supervision. Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruc-tion concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understanding the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance. Do not use this appliance in series with a thermal control, a program controller, a timer or any other device that switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk exists when the appliance is accidentally covered or dis-placed.
In the event of a fault unplug the appliance. Unplug the appliance when not required for long periods.

Although this appliance complies with safety standards, we do not recommend its use on deep pile carpets or on long hair type of rugs. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Keep the supply cord away from the front of the appliance.

WARNING: Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provid-ed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, keep textiles, curtains and or flammable materi-al a minimum distance of 1m from the air outlet.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the appliance. Do not place material or garments on the appliance, or obstruct the air circulation around the appli-ance, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a fire risk.

WARNING: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility. CAUTION – Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particu-lar attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

Technical Information

Model No: LUC20-EU

Heat Output

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 that the 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 which is related to the operation of the flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

Electrical connection

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.

Controls – see Fig. 2

These switches provide a choice of heat settings. The appliance is in standby mode when the mainslead 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 in.

Selector switch 1 ( ) Controls the electricity supply to the appliance and flame effect. Press for ‘ON’ and ‘Standby’. If both selector switches 2 and 3 are in the OFF position, the product works on flame effect only.

Selector Switch 2 (I) Provides 1kW heat output
Selector Switch 3 (II) Provides 2kW output with switch 2

Thermostat (T) – see Fig. 3

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.

Remote control – see Fig. 4

The maximum range of use is ~ 15metres.
Warning: It takes time for the receiver to respond to the transmitter. Do not press the buttons more than once within two seconds for correct operation.

Battery information – see Fig. 4

1. To activate the remote control remove the battery isolation strip, which is used to ensure your remote control reaches you fully charged.
2. To replace the remote control battery, turn over the remote control, and follow the diagram embossed on the remote control
3. Only use CR2025 or CR2032 size of batteries.

Discard leaking batteries

Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to provincial and local regulations.
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

Warning: Keep batteries out of reach of children

Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.

If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body seek immediate medical attention
Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure.

Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.

WARNING

Caution: No obvious symptoms

Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s oesophagus (food pipe).
There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:

– cough, gag or drool a lot;
– appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
– be sick;
– point to their throat or stomach;
– have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat;
– be tired or lethargic;
– be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;
– lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
– not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food.

These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding.
A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate medical help.
The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with
“flat” or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE.

Light Emitting Diode

This fire is fitted with LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps. These LED lamps are maintenance-free and should not require replacing during the life of the product.

Thermal Safety Cut-out

The built-in overheat cut-out switches off the appliance automatically in the event of a fault. If this occurs switch off the appliance or disconnect the mains plug from the socket. After a short cooling down phase, the appliance is ready for use again. If the fault should occur again, see your local dealer.
