INSTALLATION
Before installation, check that all parts are included and undamaged. If the appliance is damaged, check with the supplier before installation and operation. If the mains power supply lead is damaged in any way, it must be replaced by a suitable equivalent approved by the manufacturer.
The main box contains the appliance, 2 x suction cups and 1 x magnet tool. Packed with the appliance (behind the glass panel) are additional boxes each with a contents list printed on the outside of each box.
PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
GLASS REMOVAL –ACCESSING PARTS
To gain access to various contents required for installation follow steps
shown in Fig.1 through to Fig.4 to remove the glass panel on the front
of the appliance.
REMOVAL OF WALL MOUNTING BRACKET
The wall mounting bracket is secured to the rear panel of the appliance.
Remove the screws and the wall mounting bracket and put aside for later use –
see Fig. 5.
ASPECT TYPE
The appliance can be installed in three different aspects:
- Front (1 glass panel)
- Corner (2 glass panels)
- Panoramic (3 glass panels)
Front Aspect
Your appliance will arrive in a front aspect with metal side panels
already field – see Fig. 7.
Corner Aspect
For a corner aspect, choose which side you want to feature a glass panel and
remove the 7 screws that secure the metal side panel to the appliance – see
Fig. 8. Carefully remove the panel and keep the screws in a safe place.
Using the removed screws, take 2 top/boom side glass edge trims and 1 side
side glass edge trim and screw them to the appliance as shown below – see
Fig. 9.
Panoramic Aspect
For a panoramic aspect, repeat the corner aspect procedure on the opposite
side of the appliance – see Fig. 10.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for any injuries or damages that may occur due to improper handling or installation. Ensure that the wall upon which the appliance is to be installed and any wall fixings used are sufficiently strong enough to hold the weight of the appliance (appliance weight can be found printed on the packaging). Plasterboard alone is not considered a structural material and it is not recommended to reply solely on plasterboard fittings to support the weight of the appliance. If the appliance or any structure linked to the appliance is to be field to a wall with a timber frame construction, adequate wooden supporting members must be field using appropriate fixings. If this is not possible then steps must be taken to strengthen the wall before installation.
INSTALLATION TYPES
WALL MOUNTED
The appliance is supplied with a wall bracket which is secured to the rear of the appliance.
Step 1
Remove the bracket from the rear of the appliance, place the bracket in the
desired position ensuring it is level, mark the fixing points and use
appropriate fixings to secure to the wall.
Step 2
Attach the boom mounting bracket s to the appliance using x4 S T4 screws
see Fig.11 the appliance then can be lied on to the wall bracket to enable
the boom bracket fixing points to be marked on the wall. Then use suitable
fixings to secure the boom mounting brackets to the wall.
Note: See details of the weight of the appliance in the technical information to help determine the correct fixings.
SUITE ELEMENTS
Suite elements can be field to the appliance using the shelf support brackets
– see Fig.12. The brackets can be adjusted up or down to suit a range of
shelf material thicknesses from 15-24mm. Once the correct thickness has been
set, offer the shelf to the appliance in a smooth manner.
STUD/FEATURE WALL
Ensure that the stud wall has a support header – the weight of the finished wall should not rest on the top of the appliance. The base of the stud work must be able to take the full weight of the appliance.
The 4 small mounting brackets can be field to the appliance as shown in Fig.
13 for securing to a timber frame.
INSTALLATION – FINISHING
MAGNETIC SIDE DECORATIVE PANELS
The appliance is supplied with 2 magnet panels that can be field when
installing in a panoramic or corner aspect. These panels are simply positioned
against the side of the appliance, behind the side glass edge trim – see
Fig. 14.
LOG AND EMBER ARRANGEMENT
The logs can be arranged freely on the fire allowing you to create your own
unique appearance. For the best results it is recommended to position the logs
across the fuel bed first; experiment with position angles and overlapping the
logs so that some rest on each other – s e e. Fig.15. Then, when you
are happy with the layout, carefully scare the glass embers around all the
logs, ensuring that all visible areas of the fuel bed, including underneath
and behind the logs, are covered – see Fig. 16. Finally, in a similar
manner, carefully scare the vermiculite granules over the glass embers
ensuring good coverage – see Fig. 17

APP CONTROL
Visit your device app store (iOS or Android) to download the TUYA SMART APP. Once installed follow the procedure below to pair the device with your appliance.:
- Step 1. Start the app and click “Add Device” on screen. Select “Small Home Appliance” from the list, then select “Heater (Wi-Fi)”.
- Step 2. Ensure the appliance is powered on then press and hold the button on the appliance until you hear 3 beeps. At the same time the button will flash and the fuel bed will flash.
- Step 3. Follow the instructions on the app to input your home network details. Note, your device must also be connected to the same home network you wish to connect the appliance to.
Once connected you can fully control your appliance and also programme a weekly timer that features Adaptive Start Control – a smart home device that gauges the current temperature of the room and
OPERATION
anticipates the time required to heat it to a desired temperature. When in weekly timer mode, the appliance will automatically determine the time to turn on the heater to ensure that the set temperature is met at the time required (up to 45 minutes prior to the set time).
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
Any repairs or maintenance should only be carried out by a suitably qualified competent person.
The appliance should be occasionally cleaned using a dry cloth. Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaners of furniture polish.
To clean the glass, use a lightly damp cloth and ensure any moisture is dried fully using a lint free cloth.
Ensure that the heater vent is kept dust free by occasionally vacuuming the area using a brush attachment.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Resettng the Thermal Cut Out
The appliance is fitted with an Electronic Safety Control (E.S.C.). This is a safety device which switches off the fire if, for any reason, the appliance overheats, e.g. when covered. If the heater stops operating while the flame effect continues working normally, this indicates that the E.S.C. is in operation. The E.S.C. can only be reset after the appliance has cooled down and the appliance has been reset. Re- setting of the E.S.C.procedure is as follows:
- Switch off the appliance (Manual On/Off switch) and leave it off for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Remove any obstruction to the fan heater outlet or fan blades etc. Make sure that the power supply is disconnected with the plug socket outlet while doing this.
- Switch on the appliance and the E.S.C. will be reset.
- Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the E.S. Control operates again, the appliance should be checked by a competent electrician.
