Installation and Operating Instructions

General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for pos-
sible future use, in the event of moving or returning the fire to
your supplier. Loose coals and pebbles are packed separately
within the carton. When the heater is assembled the coals or
pebbles are placed on top of the fuel bed up to a maximum
weight of 6kg.
The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or
457mm (18") wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening
see also section "Installation in a fire place opening".
A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the
fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half or
full heat.
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 the fan which
operates the flame effect. This is normal and should not
be a cause for concern.
