Installation Instructions

This section describes how to set up your fire.

BEFORE YOU START

1. Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible
future use.
2. Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the appliance.
3. Ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface

Installation Guide
This product can be built into a wall, surround or structure. Please take note of the product dimensions (Fig.1) and build
your wall, surround or structure accordingly. You are required to leave a minimum of 400mm from the base of the fuelbed
to any shelf/enclosure above the product. This will allow enough space above the product to allow the flames to form
fully and not to be obstructed.
This product needs free ventilation from underneath to operate correctly. There are slots on the underside of the product
to allow this free air through the product (Fig.4). The free ventilation helps keep the electronic components cool, allow
the mist to evacuate the sump and lift out of the product effortlessly.
THE AREA OF FREE VENTILATION THE CAS500 REQUIRES IS A MINIMUM OF 210CM
THE AREA OF FREE VENTILATION THE CAS1000 REQUIRES IS A MINIMUM OF 420CM
SEE Fig 17 AND Fig 18 FOR EXAMPLES OF THE REQUIRED VENTILLATION
Surround Design
The CAS500 and CAS1000 are designed to be built into a surround/wall. Using the dimensions provided (Fig.1) you
can design a cavity for the appliance. Be sure to allow room under and around the appliance for the water connection
and the electrical connection. Once the surround/wall is prepared you can put the appliance in place. Fit the LED Log
Fuelbed so you ensure that the appliance is centered, see section 'Assembling the LED Log Fuelbed'. When you have
settled on a position, lift off the Fuelbed and using appropriate screws for the surround/wall, screw through the formed
holes in the left and right side panels securing the appliance in place.
Water Supply
The appliance can operate by using the water tank(s) provided or by connecting up mains water.
Water Tank(s): You will need to remove the 'Fill Cap' from the sump. (Fig.3a and Fig.3b). Place the Water Tank(s)
(Fig.3c) in your sink and remove the cap (turn anti-clockwise). Fill the Water Tank with filtered tap water only. This is
necessary to prolong the life of the flame and smoke producing unit. The water should be filtered through a conventional
domestic water filter unit and the filter should be replaced regularly. Distilled water must not be used.
Mains Water: If you choose to supply mains water to the appliance store the bottle(s) with the metal top plate and
packaging. You can use the Piercing Valve (supplied) to connect into your mains water supply by;
1. Clamp the Piercing Valve onto your water pipe: maximum 1/2" (12.7mm) pipe
2. Connect a 1/4" (6.35mm) PVC tube (not supplied) from the piercing valve into the water filter supplied and then in
to the product (Fig.4).
3. Turn the tap on the valve clockwise to pierce into the water pipe. Turn the tap anti-clockwise to allow the water to
