Choosing a suitable location

This electric fire is designed to be fitted to a solid wall using the wall mounting bracket as supplied. The appliance must be kept away from any source of damp or moist conditions. Avoid any close contact with water.
The wall must be of sound construction and all fixings used must be suitable for the type of wall. If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of the installation site please contact your supplier.
From the front of the fire ensure that there is a minimum clearance of 50mm between any non-combustible materials. For combustible material clearances please consult with the manufacturer.
The fire can be connected direct or plugged into a mains socket which can be sited on the right hand side of the fire.
Ensure that the plug socket-outlet connection for this appliance is accessible. It MUST be readily accessible for easy electrical isolation in the event of servicing and replacing components etc. This appliance MUST NOT be located immediately below an electrical socket-outlet.

Installation

Installation must be carried out by a qualified and competent person.
Connect the appliance to single-phase AC supply of the voltage specified on the rating plate.
Should the fire be connected directly into the mains supply, then a fused switched spur with a 13 amp fuse must be fitted. It is imperative that the power supply is capable of handling a load of 2000 watts (2kw). This appliance must be earthed. Allow sufficient flex to enable the fire to be removed from the wall. Do not use an extension lead
Always ensure that all electrical work complies with the relevant Building Regulations and the Electrical Code of Practice. All electrical work should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Wall Mounting

Using a screwdriver remove the two screws that secure the wall mounting bracket to the top of the appliance and remove the wall mounting bracket and keep in a safe place
Position the mounting bracket where the appliance is to be installed on the wall and ensure that the bracket is level. Mark 4 holes on the wall mounting bracket as shown below.

Fix bracket to wall using suitable size screws and wall plugs appropriate for the walls construction. Note heavy duty wall anchors or equivalent should be used when installing onto hollow/studded walls.

Hang the appliance onto the hooks at the bottom of the bracket and push the top of the appliance into the mounting bracket. Now fix the appliance to the mounting bracket by refitting the two screws which were removed at the beginning.

Laying the Log & Embers

Remove the glass RH & LH trims which are held in place with 2 screws on each side. Whilst supporting the glass to prevent it from falling forward, remove the 2 additional screws holding the glass top trim in place and then carefully remove the glass and put in a safe place.

Adaptive Control
Adaptive control works in conjunction with the timer programmes. When Adaptive Control is turned ON the fire monitors the room temperature in relation to the selected target temperature. If the room temperature is sufficiently lower that the selected temperature the Adaptive Control facility will instruct the fire to switch on up to 10 minutes earlier than the set time to ensure the room is at the required temperature at the set time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• If a confirmation beep is not heard after setting the timers or adaptive control then turn the fire ON and OFF using the remote to ensure that the latest settings have been sent to the fire. All settings will be lost from the fire if disconnected from the mains or switched off at the fire power switch. Again, using the remote to turn the fire ON and OFF will ensure the settings are sent to the fire.
• This appliance is fitted with an automatic thermal cut-out safety feature to reduce the risk of damage to appliance due to overheating. If the appliance overheats the heater element will cut out whilst the fan will still continue to run to allow the fire to cool down sufficiently.
• Once the appliance has cooled down the thermal cut-out will reset itself and switch the heater back on. If the problem persists switch the appliance off and disconnect the power at the switch and plug socket. Check that the heater warm air outlets and the inlets are not obstructed (the outlets and inlets are situated on the underside of the upper canopy). If the fire is installed within a chimney ensure that the chimney is blocked off as any draught can cause this problem.
• If the heater is still not operating correctly disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice.

WARNING!

• Do not immerse the heater in water.
• Do not use any cleaning chemicals such as detergents and abrasives. Do not allow the interior to get wet as this could create a hazard.
• In the event of malfunction contact the manufacturer, do not try to repair the heater yourself as this may result in a fire hazard or electric shock.
