INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This section describes how to install and set up your 昀椀re.
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.
• Ensure that the appliance is installed on a level surface.
• Make sure the appliance is switched OFF for installation.
The 3-Step can be changed to suit 3 styles; the 3 sided glass, the 2 side corner and the single front glass. The product
comes set up as a single front glass. To change between models 昀椀x the suction cups to the front glass and lift the glass
upwards and then down and away from the product see (Fig 5). Remove the rubber cord on the inside of the side glass
at the bottom and top. Slide the side metal plate and side glass out together see (Fig 6). Seperate the side glass and
slide it back into place. Use the larger rubber cord to 昀椀x the side glass in place found in the instruction pack. Replace
the front glass by repeating the steps above in reverse. Use the suction cups to adjust the side glass so that you have
a both the front and side glass 昀椀tting correctly. Ensure that there is a gap of 300mm between the top of the 昀椀re and the
underside of any shelf.
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. Ensure that any constructed base is suf昀椀ciently strong to support the weight
of the product. Suitable clearance should be provided to allow the product to be installed easily. 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 昀氀ame effect.
If 昀椀tting this product in a 昀椀replace opening, we recommend that;
1. You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
2. You block off the chimney 昀氀ue. This procedure is important for the ef昀椀cient operation of the heating unit and will also
reduce heat loss up the chimney.
WALL MOUNTING THE PRODUCT
This product must be secured to a supporting wall for installation (Fig 2). Once your supporting base has been built to
the required dimensions and an electrical connection has been installed, follow the steps below to install your product.
1.
Using the dimensions in (Fig 1) mount the wall brace supplied on the wall in the desired location. Firmly secure the
brace to the wall using 4 appropriate 昀椀xings suitable for your wall construction.
With two persons holding the 昀椀re by the sides, carefully manoeuvre the product into position on the constructed base
2.
and suspend the 昀椀re from the wall brace (Fig 3). Ensure the cable is accessible and not caught under the product.
3.
Adjust the supporting feet using a spanner to ensure the product is level and fully supported at all sides. The base
of the product should be raised above the level of the platform to allow for air circulation.
4.
Tighten the screws holding the product to the wall brace to lock it in position.
5.
Complete the construction of the surrounding front/side facia around the product. Ensure that there is an opening
at the front for air to get into the product, see (Fig 4). This is essencial for the 昀氀ame effect. Also ensure that there is
venting at the top of the product, this is essencial for the heater to function correctly, see (Fig 3).
6.
The power cord is on the back of the product. Please take note of this when constructing the surround/enclosure
(Fig 1).
VENTILATION
This product needs free ventilation from underneath to operate correctly. There are slots on the underside of the drawer,
the rear of the product and along the drawer front 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 take note of the requirement
for ventilation around the product and ensure that vents are not blocked. If 昀椀tting into a surround/enclosure ensure that
there is a ventillation gap to allow a clear path for the air to get into the product.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Plug the 昀椀re into a 16amp 230/240 Volt outlet located within 1m of the product. Be sure to have access to the plug after
installation to allow for disconnection. Ensure that the supply cable exits at the back of the 昀椀re to suit your supply socket
location and is not trapped under the 昀椀re such that it might cause it to be damaged.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Before powering on the product for the 昀椀rst time, ensure that a full water tank has been placed on the product. Open the
drawer and remove the water tank from its location on top of the sump (Fig 7) and open it by unscrewing the orange cap
(Fig 8). The tank should be 昀椀lled with clean tap water only - Refer to WATER QUALITY & CLEANING for more details.
When the tank is replaced on top of the sump, it will take about one minute for the tank to empty into the sump. Allow the
sump to 昀椀ll fully before switching on the product. Once 昀椀lling is complete, the tank can be re昀椀lled and replaced on top
of the sump. This will allow for the maximum capacity of water to be stored in the product. Close the drawer when 昀椀lled.
