Setup & Product Dimensions

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.

These models are designed to be free standing and are normally positioned against

a wall.

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. A choice of 1kW or 2kW heat output is provided

by the fan heater, which is located at the bottom of the unit.

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.

CAUTION: Except for installation and cleaning described in this manual, an

authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater

must correspond to the supply voltage.

Before switching on, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions.

Light Emitting Diode

This fire is fitted with LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs in place of traditional

incandescent bulbs. These generate the same light levels as traditional 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.

Operation

Controls

The switches provide a choice of heat settings, The appliance is in standby mode

when the mains lead is plugged in. This is indicated by the red neon behind the flame

effect screen. The two selector switches are in the ON position when the side with

the markings on (i.e. I, or II) is pushed

1. Selector switch 1 (I) - Controls the electricity supply to the appliance and flame

effect. Press for ‘ON' & ‘Standby’. If both selector switches 2 and 3 are in the

OFF position, the product works on flame effect only.

2. Selector Switch 2 (I) - Provides 1kW heat output.

3. Selector Switch 3 (II) - Provides 2kW output with switch 2 also pressed.

Thermostat (T)

In order to maintain a certain room temperature, set the controller to ‘max.’. Operate

the appliance at full power until the required room temperature is reached. Set back

the thermostatic controller until the appliance switches off with an audible “click”.

This temperature will be kept almost constant by the thermostatic control switching

on and off automatically. Please note that the appliance can only be switched on

when the thermostat setting is higher then the room temperature.

Over time, dust can accumulate which can effect performance. It is recommended to

clean the unit at least once a month.

CAUTION: ALWAYS Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power

supply before undergoing any cleaning and maintenance.

For general cleaning use a soft clean duster – never use abrasive cleaners. The glass

viewing screen should be cleaned carefully with a soft cloth.

DO NOT use proprietary glass cleaners.

To remove any accumulation of dust or fluff the soft brush attachment of a vacuum

cleaner should occasionally be used to clean the outlet grille of the fan heater.

WARNING: do not operate the product without the grille and outer glass in position

as this may effect the operation of the heater.

IMPORTANT

The control panel and other parts must not come into contact with water or any

other liquids.

Cleaning

Recycling: Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal

waste. Use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government

for information regarding the collection systems available. If electrical

appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances

can leak into the ground water, polluting the food chain and damaging

health and well-being.
