Essence Sophia Installation Instructions

Remove the fireplace suite from the packing, checking that neither the heater nor the power cable has been damaged during transport. Do not
operate the heater if damaged. The accessories are found in a box that is packed at the side of the fireplace. Your fireplace suite is guaranteed for
one year from the date of purchase. In the unlikely event of a breakdown you have access to our customer services team, simply call 01543 251122
during office hours, 9am – 5pm or e-mail on info@flameritefires.com
Where a chimney is not blocked off completely it will cause the heater to cut out during use.
The fireplace must be positioned so that the plug socket is accessible once installed. In the unlikely event of breakdown access must be allowed to
the rear so that the fire maybe serviced, do not seal to the wall. The mains cable must therefore be long enough to allow this. If the removal of the
plug is absolutely necessary for installation, cut off in an area within 100mm only of the plug itself. Any further may affect your warranty. Where
the fireplace suite is being used in an existing chimney, it is important that the chimney is blocked off to prevent airflow problems with the fire.
Where a chimney is not blocked off sufficiently, it will cause the heater to cut out and the flame effect to stop or work inefficiently.

Electrical connections

Your appliance comes fitted with a plug that incorporates a 13A fuse. The replacement fuses must be 13A and ASTA approved. If the fuse cover is
lost the plug must not be used until a replacement cover, of the same colour, is obtained from an electrical retailer.
The appliance is fitted with a moulded plug if it is necessary cut off the plug, for any reason, it must be discarded immediately with the fuse
removed. Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to reuse the plug, do not insert into any 13A socket as this could cause a
hazard. If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised technical service centre.
