FITTING THE APPLIANCE
LOCATING THE ESTUDIO

Your new eStudio 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 stud work and plasterboard block/brick. The fixings provided are for use on brick walls ONLY. Please ensure that suitable fixings are used when securing any hollow or purpose-built cavity.
NOTE: This appliance is not suitable for fitting to a Cavity Wall, backing onto an outside wall, an open chimney, or any opening that may be subject to dampness 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 the 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 authorized service center, or a 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 the 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 that 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 re-set 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 the 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.
