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 this heater 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.
Do not cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet grille
located at the top of the heater or the heat outlet at the
base of the heater. Overheating will result if the heater is
accidentally covered.
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.
In the event of a fault unplug the heater.
Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.
Ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible
material are positioned no closer than 1 metre from the
heater.
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.
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.
The heater carries the Warning symbol, indicating
that it must not be covered.
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.
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. Screws and rawl plugs, a remote control and batteries
are packed separately within the carton.
This fire incorporates a flame effect which can be used with or
without heating, so that comforting effect may be enjoyed at any
time of the year. The flame effect is provided by a low wattage
motor and three 60 watt lamps. Using the flame effect on its own,
therefore, requires little electricity.
The controls are located at the bottom right hand corner of the
appliance (see 'z' in Fig. 1). A choice of 750W or 1500W heat
output is provided by the fan heater, which is concealed at the top
of the heater behind the removable front panel (see 'y' in Fig. 1).
The fire is designed to be fitted into a large fireplace opening or a
purpose built structure - see Fig. 2 for recommended sizes for
opening.
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.

Electrical connection

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage
marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage.

instructions.
Installation
The fire is designed to be fitted into a large fireplace opening or a
purpose built structure - see Fig. 2 for recommended sizes of
opening. The installation of a purpose built structure should be
carried out by a competent person. If in doubt please consult your
local builder.
At the base of the fire, four adjustable feet (see 'A' in Fig. 1) are
provided for levelling the fire where the base of the fireplace
opening is raised above the level of the hearth.
Adjust by turning the feet until the desired height has been reached.

Recessed Installation

In order to ensure it's future safety in use, it is essential that this
fire is securely fixed to the wall.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FIXING DEVICE CHOSEN IS
APPROPRIATE TO THE WALL MATERIAL TO WHICH THE FIRE
IS BEING FIXED. SOME MODERN INTERNAL BUILDING
MATERIALS ARE VERY LOW DENSITY BLOCK AND REQUIRE
SPECIALIZED FIXING DEVICES TO PROVIDE A SAFE,SECURE
INSTALLATION.
The installation of this fire should be carried out by a competent
person.
Follow steps as outlined below :
1.
Make sure that the fire is located on a flat surface.
2.
In existing fireplaces seal all draughts and vents to prevent
chimney debris from falling onto the fireplace insert. Do
not install into an existing fireplace that is prone to
dampness.
3.
Remove the fire front panel - see 'Lamp Replacement' and
Fig. 6.
4.
In the event that the minimum recess depth of 185mm
(*recommended) can not be achieved, then the four fixing
brackets (see 'x' in Fig. 2) can be adjusted using the other
optional holes (see 'y' in Fig. 2) on the side panels allowing
the fire to sit proud of the wall.
Note: Absolute minimum recess depth is 65mm.
5.
Locate the 4 fixing holes, position the fire accordingly, and
firmly fix the appliance to the wall using the screws and
plugs provided - see Fig. 2 for hole fixing dimensions and
recommended recess size.
6.
Replace the front panel.
If you intend to build a purpose built structure/hearth please use
the recommended dimensions as indicated in Fig. 2
If in doubt of any of the above please consult your local builder.
