Installation Instructions

This section describes how to set up your fire.
Before installing this appliance in an existing chimney, we recommend that;
1. You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
2. You block off the chimney flue.
This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the chimney.

BEFORE YOU START

1. Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible future
use e.g. in the event of moving house or returning the appliance to your supplier.
2. Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the heater.
Wall fixing - see Fig. 1
The appliance should be securely fixed to the wall using the fixing strap, wall plug and screw supplied, see diagram for
recommended position. Note – The fixing and screw supplied are for use with block or brick walls only, for studded walls
special fasteners are required.
INSTALLATION
Hold the fire by the sides of surround and gently manoeuvre into position.
Place the fire against a wall and connect to your electricity supply.
Connect the power cable to the appropriate power connector at the back of the fire.
Plug the power cable into a 13amp/240volt outlet. Ensure that the supply cable exits at the back of the fire, at the right or left
hand corner to suit your supply socket location and is not trapped under the fire such that it might cause it to be damaged.
Do not yet switch the appliance on.
Connecting the Transducer Unit + Lamps
1. Release the two red tabs by turning them by 90 degrees (Fig 2)
2. Lift out the Sump Nozzle (Fig 3)
3. Insert lamps into lamp holders (Fig 4), carefully locating the pins into the holes (Fig 4a)
4. Push lamps firmly into place
5. Place the Transducer Unit into the sump and join the cable to the connector on the sump (Fig 5)
6. To ensure that the Transducer Unit is correctly placed in the sump, the tab on the Transducer Unit should be lined
up with the moulded recess in the sump (Fig 5a).
7. Ensure that the cable is not placed above the disc on the Transducer Unit (Fig 5b). To prevent the cable becoming
pinched between the nozzle and the sump, place the cable in the slot in the wall of the sump.
8. Replace the Sump Nozzle and secure it by turning the two red tabs by 90 degrees (Fig 6)
Filling the Water Tank
9. Place Water Tank in sink and remove cap (turn anti-clockwise to open) (Fig 7)
10. Fill 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.
11. Screw the cap back on – do not overtighten.
12. Place the Water Tank in the Sump, with the tank cap facing down and the flat side of the tank facing outward (Fig 8)
Assembling the fire
13. Place the Fuelbed on top of the Water Tank and Mist Nozzle (Fig 9)

Operating the Fire

This section describes how to activate your fire using either the manual controls or remote control.

MANUAL CONTROLS

The manual controls are located beneath the hinged flap. (Fig.10 for Manual Control lay out)
