complete, the main lamps will illuminate but it will take 30 seconds
before the flames return.

Battery Information.

1. Unclip the battery cover on the back of the remote control. (See Fig.7)
2. Install AAA batteries into the remote control.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Discard leaky batteries.
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to provincial and
local regulations.Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different
battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at
the same time, if disposed of in a fireplace, or if an attempt is made to
charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
Thermal safety cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent
damage due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet is restricted
in any way. If the cut-out operates, unplug the fireplace from the socket
outlet and allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before
switching the fireplace back on remove any obstruction that may be
restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.
Tips for using your appliance.
1. Only pull out the drawer when its time to refill the water tank or change
a lamp, otherwise it may lead to excess water in the sump and reduced
flame effect. If this happens empty the water from the sump as instructed
under 'Maintenance' .
2. With the flame setting on minimum the unit will use approximately
40ml of water per hour and will last 3 times as long than when it is at
maximum flame setting.
3. Do not tilt or move the fireplace while there is water in the tank or
sump.
4. Make sure that the fireplace is on a level floor.
5. The flame control knob 'C' (Fig.2) may be turned up or down to give a
more realistic effect.
6. Sometimes the flames appear more real when the flame control knob
is turned down.
7. Give the flame generator some time to react to changes you may make
on the flame control knob.

Maintenance

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE
Changing lamps.
If a large amount of the smoke appears grey or colourless it may be that
one or more lamps have failed.
You can check for lamp failure as follows.
1. Leaving the flame effect on, open the drawer fully, gently pull the
drawer fully out by the tab. (See Fig.3)
2. View the lamps from a distance in front of the fireplace and observe
which lamp needs to be changed.
3. Put Switch 'A' in the 'OFF' position, and unplug the fireplace from the
mains.
4. Leave the appliance for 20 minutes to allow the lamps to cool down
before removing them.
5. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and place in a sink.
6. Remove the sump as described in the Cleaning Section.
7. Remove the defective lamp, by gently lifting vertically and disengaging
the pins from the lamp holder, (See Fig.4 and 5). Replace with a Mystic
original, 12V, 50W, Gu5.3 base,
8º beam angle, coloured lamp. Purchase the lamps from your local
supplier.
8. Carefully insert the two pins of the new lamp into the two holes in the
lamp holder. Push firmly in place. (See Fig.4 and 5).
9. Replace the sump and water tank and carefully close the drawer.
10. Switch on.
Filling the water tank.
When the water tank is empty, flame and smoke effect shuts off, and you
will hear 2 audible 'beeps' . Follow these steps to refill:
1. Press Switch 'A' to (0). (See Fig.2)
2. Pull out the drawer as far as possible by the tab. (See Fig.3)
3. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and outwards.
4. Place the water tank in sink and remove cap, Anti-clockwise to open.
(See Fig.6)
5. Fill tank with filtered tap water with a maximum hardness of 10
dH only. This is necessary to prolong the life of the flame and smoke
producing unit.
In situations with a higher water hardness, the water should be filtered
(for example with a Maxtra filter). Do not use a decalcifier.
6. Screw the cap back on, do not overtighten.
7. Return the tank to the sump, with the tank cap facing down and the flat
side of the tank facing outward.

section and Fig.2).
9. Press Switch 'A' to 'ON' ( I ) position. (See Fig.2)
10. Gently push the drawer back in as far as it will go.
Cleaning.
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING THE FIREPLACE.
We recommend cleaning the following components once every 2 weeks,
particularly in hard water areas:-
Water Tank, Sump and Seal, Sump lid, Tank cap and seal, Air filter.
For general cleaning use a soft clean duster – never use abrasive cleaners.
To remove any accumulation of dust or fluff the soft brush attachment of
a vacuum cleaner should occasionally be used to clean the outlet grille
of the fan fireplace.
Water tank
1. Remove water tank, as described earlier, put into sink and empty
water.
2. Using the supplied brush gently rub the inside surfaces of the cap
paying particular attention to the rubber ring in the outer groove and the
centre rubber seal.
3. Put a small quantity of washing up liquid into the tank, refit the cap and
shake well, rinse out until all traces of washing up liquid are gone.
4. Refill with tap water with a maximum hardness of 10 dH only, replace
the cap, do not overtighten.
5. Do not use a decalcifier when cleaning the appliance, this may shorten
the lifetime of the smoke unit.
Sump
1. Press Switch 'A' to the 'OFF' (0) position
2. Gently pull the drawer out as far as possible. (See Fig.3)
3. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector, located on the left side of the
sump, by first loosening the two retaining screws and gently withdrawing
the connector. (See Fig.8)
5. Release the lower sump locking tabs by turning 90º, this allows the
sump to be lifted completely from its location. (See Fig.9)
6. Gently lift up the sump assembly, taking care to keep level so as not to
spill any water. Sit the assembly in the sink. (See Fig.10)
7. Release the two upper sump locking tabs by turning 90º, then lift off
the sump lid. (See Fig.11)
