Amesbury Model No. AME20
Basket Inset Fire
Dimensions (millimetres)
IMPORTANT
THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY
AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packing for
possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the
fire to your supplier.
The appliance must stand on a level, hard, non-combustible
surface. The appliance must not stand on a carpet.
If the fire is being fitted into an open fireplace, the chimney
should be blocked. This is to ensure that the air supply to the
fire is not interrupted by the draw up the chimney. The
easiest (and cheapest) way to do this is to cut a piece of
cardboard to shape, then tape it in the throat of the chimney.
A minimum distance of 1 metre (39") must be maintained
between the front of the heater and any surrounding
furniture, overhanging curtains or other obstructions.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is
the same as that stated on the heater.
This fire incorporates a flame effect which can be used
without heating, so that the comforting effect can be enjoyed
at any time of year. The flame effect is provided by low
wattage motors and 2x40W lamps. Using the flame effect on
its own, therefore, requires little electricity.
A choice of 1kW or 2kW of heat output is provided by the
heater which is concealed beneath the unit. The model is
designed to be free standing.
