---|---|---
| Battery Half Power| Ensure new batteries are available.
| Battery Empty| Replace batteries immediately
NOTE: The remote control has a Battery Status indicator (top right corner), after an extended period of displaying empty the LED screen will cease to function despite the handset still being able to send commands. Replace the batteries to restore display
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the appliance and safely disposed
of.
Ensure that the handset batteries are new and inserted correctly. Dispose of
old batteries at an appropriate recycling facility. Battery replacement is
recommended after 1 year. The Remote requires two 1.5V alkaline AAA
batteries. Ensure the correct polarity. Do not short circuit the terminals. Do
not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Remove rechargeable
batteries before charging.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove batteries if the appliance is not
used for long periods. Changing the batteries will not affect the Timer Mode
settings. Ensure the clock is set to the correct time.
NOTE : To use both remote and manual functions the manual on/off switch must be in ‘ON’ position.

The manual button controls basic functions, not a full range of controls. Use the remote hand set to carry out all functions.
HEATER RUNNING INDICATORS
When the fan heater is used in conjunction with the flame or fuel bed effects
the heater running indicators will light up for 10 seconds. The LEDs will
illuminate for 10 seconds if the flame or fuel bed effect is On. If the fan
heater is used independently, the heater running indicators will stay on.
RESET BUTTON FOR REMOTE CONTROL
If the handset loses signal or needs to be replaced then, see Servicing
Instructions for details.
SIGNAL CODE
The handheld transmitter is configured in the factory with a unique signal
code.
IMPORTANT: If the handset loses signal or needs to be replaced, see
Servicing Section for details.
MAINTENANCE
ENSURE THE APPLIANCE IS TURNED OFF BEFORE CLEANING.
GLASS CLEANING
Wipe the glass viewing panel with a damp cloth and buff with a lint free
duster.
Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass panel. Do not spray
liquids directly onto any surface of the unit.
CLEANING THE FUEL EFFECT
Remove and wash the fuel effect to remove any dust particles. Alternatively clean with a lint free duster. Ensure that the effect is dry before replacing. Replace the fuel effect see Installation Instructions Section 5 for layout. Replace in reverse order.
CLEANING AIR INLETS
Clean the air inlet and outlet grilles regularly with a soft cloth or the
nozzle of a vacuum cleaner.
Dust build-up can inhibit efficient performance of the fan and lead to the safety cut-out operating. Keep the area around the appliance clean and free of fluff, dust or pet hair. In particular, build-up of dust etc. can occur around the heater area. Take particular care to keep this area free from such particles on a regular basis to prevent build-up.

Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect and to replace any
part of the electrical system if necessary.
Open the packaging carefully and remove the polystyrene. Remove and discard
the plastic bag. Keep plastic wrapping away from children. Be responsible when
handling the packing materials.
Check all parts and accessories are removed before disposing of any packaging.
If necessary keep the original packaging for future transport and/or storage.
Test the appliance before installation.
FITTING THE APPLIANCE
LOCATING THE RADIANCE
Your new Radiance may be installed virtually anywhere in your home. However,
when choosing a location ensure that the general instructions are followed.
For best results, install out of direct sunlight. The heater should ideally be
fitted into/onto an internal flat wall constructed from either studwork and
plasterboard block/brick. The fixings provided are for use on brick walls
ONLY. Please ensure that suitable fixings are used when securing to any hollow
or purpose built cavity.
NOTE: This appliance is not suitable for fitting to a Cavity Wall,
backing on to an outside wall, an open chimney or any opening that may be
subject to damp and draft, unless adequate precautions are taken to avoid the
appliance coming into contact with moisture or excessive drafts. In such
installations, any existing chimney and/or purpose provided air vents should
be fully sealed. Make sure there are no pipes or cables behind the area to be
drilled or cut. Always ensure the appliance is adequately supported and sits
on a firm structure when mounting above floor level. The appliance should
ideally be located close to a suitable mains socket to enable connection. An
extension could be run from an existing socket outlet but this must be carried
out by a suitably qualified electrical engineer. The electrical socket must be
easily accessible to allow disconnection when the appliance is fitted. If the
power cord is damaged, it must be repaired by the manufacturer, its authorised
service centre or professional person. Ensure that curtains and furniture are
not positioned close to the chosen position, as this would create a potential
fire hazard or block the heater outlet ducts.
WARNING! KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AT LEAST 1M FROM THE FRONT OF THE
ELECTRIC FIREPLACE.
SERVICING REQUIREMENTS
DURING SERVICING OF THIS APPLIANCE IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO CUT CABLE TIES IN ORDER TO ACCESS AND REMOVE SOME OF THE PARTS. THESE MUST BE REPLACED WHEN REASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE. THIS APPLIANCE MUST ONLY BE SERVICED BY A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PERSON. BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY WORK ON THE APPLIANCE: SWITCH OFF THE APPLIANCE AND ISOLATE THE POWER SUPPLY ENSURING THERE IS NO POWER TO THE APPLIANCE. Wait for at least 10 minutes until the appliance has cooled down.
Remote Handset Battery Replacement
Replace with 2 AAA batteries. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly
in the remote control.
NOTE: The remote control has a Battery Status indicator (top right corner), after an extended period of displaying empty the LED screen will cease to function despite the handset still being able to send commands. Replace the batteries to restore display.
Maintenance of Motors
The motor used on the flame effect is pre-lubricated for extended bearing life
and requires no further lubrication. However, periodic cleaning/vacuuming of
the heater unit is recommended.
Resetting the Thermal Cutout Switch
The appliance is fitted with an Electronic Safety Control (E.S.). This is a
safety device which switches off the fire if, the appliance overheats for any
reason e.g. when covered. If the heater stops operating whilst the flame
effect continues normally, this indicates that the E.S. Control is in
operation. The E.S. Control can only be re-set after the appliance has cooled
down.
To reset the E.S:
Switch off the appliance (Manual On/Off switch) and leave for approximately
120 minutes. Remove any obstruction to the fan heater outlet or other internal
parts. Switch on appliance and the E.S. Control will re-set. Ensure that the
appliance is functioning correctly. If the E.S. Control operates again, the
appliance should be checked by a competent Electrician.
