Important Safety Advice:
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock and injury to persons, including the following:
If the appliance is damaged, check with the supplier before
installation and operation.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower
or swimming pool.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket
outlet or connection box.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or other
persons without assistance or supervision if their physical,
sensory or mental capabilities prevent them from using it
safely. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Do not use this heater in series with a thermal control, a
program controller, a timer or any other device that
switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk exists
when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced.
This heater is not equipped with a device to control the
room temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms
when they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving
the room on their own, unless constant supervision is
provided
Ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible
material are positioned no closer than 1 metre from the
heater.
In the event of a fault unplug the heater.
Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.
Although this heater complies with safety standards, we
do not recommend its use on deep pile carpets or on long
hair type of rugs.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is
accessible.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Keep the supply cord away from the front of the heater.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not
cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the heater, or obstruct the air
circulation around the heater. The heater carries
the Warning symbol indicating that it must not be
covered.
General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for
possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the
fire to your supplier.
The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with
or without heating, so that the comforting effect may be
enjoyed at any time of the year. Using the flame effect on its
own only requires little electricity.
These models are designed to be free standing and are
normally positioned against a wall.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is
the same as that stated on the heater.
Please note: Used in an environment where background
noise is very low, it may be possible to hear a sound which
is related to the operation of the flame effect. This is normal
and should not be a cause for concern.
