INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This section describes how to install and set up your fire. Before you start:
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible
future use.
Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the appliance.
CONNECTIONS REQUIRED IN ADVANCE OF INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Please ensure a 230/240V 16A power socket is located within 1m of the product. The electrical connection should be
accessible during product installation so that the connection can be made to the product easily.

WATER CONNECTION

Please ensure a water connection is located within 1m of the product. The water connection should be one of the
following:
A male ¾ inch BSP connection (same as a standard supply for a washing machine)
A male ½ inch BSP connection (Fig 32)
Both the water and electrical connections should be accessible during product installation so that the connections can
be made to the product easily.
BUILDING THE PRODUCT SURROUND/ENCLOSURE
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. Suitable clearance should be provided to allow the product to be installed
easily.
You are required to leave a minimum of 400mm from the base of the fuel bed to any shelf/enclosure above the product
(Fig. 2). This will allow enough space above the product to allow the flame effect to form fully and not to be obstructed.
When determining a location for the product, ensure that the unit will not be susceptible to drafts, vents, ceiling fans and
other air currents. Similar to a candle, large movements of air will affect the unit's ability to create and maintain the flame
effect. If the desired location is susceptible to significant air movement, i.e. air vents, the different installation options
illustrated in Fig 2 can be used.
VENTILATION
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. The free ventilation helps keep the electronic components cool and allows the
mist to rise and leave the product. Please see Fig 3 & 4 for examples of the required ventilation. Please take note of the
requirement for a ventilation opening on the shelf where the product sits, to allow a clear path for the air to get to the
product.
CAS500P-RGB Free Ventilation Area: Minimum 210cm
CAS1000P-RGB Free Ventilation Area: Minimum 420cm
WATER CONNECTION
It is recommended that you consult a qualified plumber to ensure a safe and secure installation.
Two adaptors have been supplied with the product to connect the ¼" blue PVC pipe of the product to mains water (Fig
32.1). Either the white ½ inch or the grey ¾ inch adaptor can be used to connect the product to the mains. For reference,
the ¾ inch adaptor is the same connection used on most washing machine supplies. Once the correct mains water
connection has been installed, follow the steps below to connect your product to the water supply.
1.
With the water supply turned off, connect the correct adaptor to the main water supply. (Fig 32.1)
2.
Position the water filter (Fig 32.5) in a suitable location. This will need to be accessed for future replacement. The
two fixing clips can be used to fix the filter to a solid surface, if required.
3.
Using a sharp knife or blade, cut two lengths of the blue PVC pipe. One length (Fig 32.2) should be long enough to
travel from the adaptor at the main supply to the ball valve (Fig 32.3). The second length (Fig 32.4) should be long
enough to travel from the ball valve to the inlet of the filter. When cutting the pipe, ensure that the end of the tubing
is cut square to prevent leaking.
4.
Insert the cut pipe into the fittings, ensuring each one is pushed in fully. About 12mm of the end of the pipe should
be inserted into each fitting. When inserting pipe into the filter, take note of the flow direction on the filter and ensure
the pipe from the main supply is fitted to the inlet of the filter.
5.
Following the same steps above, cut a length of pipe (Fig 32.6) from the outlet of the water filter to the ball valve
which has been supplied already connected to the product (Fig 32.7).
6.
Before connecting the pipe to the ball valve on the product, flush out the newly plumbed pipe by opening the valve
and allowing water to flow. This is to prevent any debris from the installation from entering the product. Once the
piping has been flushed out, connect the pipe into the ball valve on the product.
7.
Before fully installing the product, inspect all water connections by opening each of the valves in turn and ensuring
that no leaks are present.
