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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT: THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Electrical connection
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

instructions.
Installation
see Fig. 1 & 3.
Your electric fire is designed to be used in a fireplace opening or placed
against a wall anywhere in the room.
When installing this appliance in an existing fireplace opening, it is
recommend that an open chimney or flue is blocked off with a nonflammable
material. This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the
heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the chimney.
At the rear of the fire, two adjustable feet are provided for levelling the
fire when the fire is being installed on an uneven surface. You can adjust the
foot by removing the two screws and refitting the foot in the required
position.
The fire is supplied with screws and rawl plugs to provide extra stability to
prevent it from accidentally being knocked over. The rawl plug supplied is
suitable for use in block walls (other wall types may need alternative rawl
plugs).
To place the appliance flush to a wall please follow these instructions:
Drill holes using a 6mm drill as illustrated in Fig.1. Insert plugs and
screws.
The plug supplied is suitable for use in block walls (special fasteners are
required on stud walls). Do not fully tighten screws, leave the head of the
screw at least 10mm away from the surface. Place the keyhole slots on the fire
over the screws and lower into position.
NOTE: Where this method is not an option, ie when used with a marble
surround, the use of self-adhesive velcro pads are recommended.
These pads should be placed on the right and left hand side of the upper back
of the product trims.
Manual Controls
**see Fig. 2
**
Three switches provide a choice of heat setting. Each switch is activated when
the bottom half of the switch is pushed in.
Switch 1 Controls the electricity supply to the heater.
Note: This switch must be in the ON position for the heater to operate
with or without heat.
Switch 2 Provides 950 W heat output.
Switch 3 Provides 1900 W output when used in conjunction with switch 2.
Thermostat
In order to maintain a certain room temperature, set the thermostat knob to ‘max.’. Operate the appliance at full power until the required room temperature is reached. Turn back the thermostat knob until the appliance switches off. This temperature will be kept almost constant by the thermostat switching on and off automatically. Please note that the appliance will only operate when the thermostat setting is higher then the room temperature.
Light Emitting Diode
This fire is fitted with LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps in place of
conventional bulbs . These generate the same light levels as conventional
bulbs, but use a fraction of the energy consumed. 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! Should this occur switch off the appliance or disconnect the
mains plug from the socket.
Remove any obstructions which may have caused the overheating. After a short
cooling down phase, the appliance is ready for use again! If the fault should
occur again, contact your local dealer!
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.
Maintenance
