Before switching on

Remove the fuel effect (two screws) and check that the lamps and

flicker rotors are positioned correctly –see Fig. 8, page 4.

The flicker rotors should sit horizontally on their pins and spin

freely without fouling their mounting brackets. If necessary, adjust

the bracket by bending slightly.

Refit the fuel effect by inserting the front edge first, then

secure it with the two screws.

Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning

labels carefully) and that the fuel effect and radiant elements are

positioned correctly, otherwise damage may occur.

Operation

When you are certain that you have completed the installation,

plug in and switch on at the wall socket.

Controls - see Fig. 7

Fuel effect

The fuel effect will be lit all the time that the heater is connected to

the power supply, even if the heat selector switches are in the OFF

position. The flicker rotors should begin to rotate after a minute

or so.

The lamps will go out only when the heater is switched off at the

wall socket or unplugged.

Radiant elements

You have a choice of low heat (two elements, 1332W) or high heat

(three elements, 1998W). Both settings have electronic

temperature control - see below.

A switch is set to ON when the red dot is visible.

Low heat setting

Press switch 1to ON. Two elements will glow and, when the

temperature selected on the electronic control dial 3is reached,

one of the elements will automatically turn off, switching back on if

the temperature falls.

See also ‘Electronic economiser temperature control ’

•

4. Remove the fuel effect by releasing the two screws securing it

at either end –see Fig. 5

Lift and hang the heater on the two screw heads fixed to the

wall.

Mark the position of the third fixing hole, accessible with the fuel

effect removed.

Remove the heater from the wall and drill and plug the third

hole.

5. Replace the heater on the wall and use the third screw to fix the

heater firmly to the wall, routing the mains lead through the

appropriate cutout at the rear of the heater base (see Fig. 2).

NB If the heater is to be fixed to the wall in the floor standing

position, it may be necessary to either:

(i) cut away the skirting board where the heater will be fixed

(ii)provide suitable battens on the wall to which the fixing points

of the heater may be secured to provide clearance for the

thickness of the skirting board –see Fig. 6.

Fig. 5

Fig. 6

High heat setting

Set switches 1 and 2 to ON. All three elements will glow and,

when the temperature selected on the electronic control dial 3is

reached, two of the elements will automatically turn off, switching

back on if the temperature falls.

The fire can be returned to low heat setting by pressing switch 2

to OFF.

See also ‘Electronic economiser temperature control ’below.

Electronic economiser temperature control

This sensitive output control 3will switch the radiant heater

elements ON and OFF to accurately maintain the level of comfort

that you have selected.

Select low or high radiant setting –then turn the control dial to 7;

when the room reaches a comfortable level of warmth, turn the

dial down until the electronically controlled elements switch off.

The control dial should be left at this setting; the electronic control

will then switch the elements ON and OFF as needed to maintain

your chosen comfort level.

Maintenance

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE

Ensure flicker rotors

rotate freely on pins and that

lamps are in sockets correctly

Fig. 8

Fig. 9

Fig. 10

Fig. 11

Access to flicker rotors and lamp replacement –

see Fig. 8

The fuel effect is secured by two screws, one at each end.

Slacken these screws (do not remove them completely) until the

fuel effect is released, then lift it clear. Ensure that the screws are

partially inserted into the fuel effect before refitting it.

Each flicker rotor should sit horizontally on its pin and spin freely

without fouling its mounting bracket. If necessary, adjust the

bracket by bending slightly (the plastic diffuser material is flexible).

To replace a lamp, bend up the defective lamp’s flicker rotor top

bracket arm carefully and lift off the rotor.

Replace the defective lamp with a 60 watt B22 fuel-effect lamp.

Reassemble in reverse order, ensuring that the diffuser/top

bracket arms are positioned correctly and the flicker rotors spin

freely.

Removing the guard – see Fig. 9

Unscrew the two screws at each end of the guard, then withdraw

the lower edge of the guard first. Refit the guard in reverse order.

Removing the radiant elements – see Fig. 10

First remove the guard, as detailed above.

The element holders are spring loaded. To remove an element,

grip one end using a soft cloth to protect the surface, then push

carefully but firmly to one side until the other end disengages from

its socket. Withdraw the element carefully. Refit in reverse order.

Cleaning the reflector – See Fig. 11

The reflector may be more easily cleaned if the elements are first

removed (see above).

Wipe the reflector with a warm soapy cloth, then buff with a soft

dry cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning powders or metal polish.
