INSTALLATION
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT
BE USED IN A BATHROOM.
WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEATER
IN THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS OF
A BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING
POOL.
WARNING - THIS HEATER MUST NOT BE
LOCATED IMMEDIATELY BELOW A
FIXED SOCKET OUTLET.
WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEATER
WITH A PROGRAMMER, TIMER OR ANY
DEVICE THAT SWITCHES THE HEATER
ON AUTOMATICALLY, SINCE A FIRE
RISK EXISTS IF THE HEATER IS
COVERED OR POSITIONED
INCORRECTLY.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
The feet and necessary fixings are packed with
the heater.
Care should be taken whilst assembling the
feet so as not to damage the painted surface
of the heater.
Note: The high temperature paint acquires
durability by being “cured” in initial use.
During this process the heater will give off
fumes which are non-toxic, but which certain
persons may find an unpleasant or irritant
effect. Ensure that the area is well ventilated
during this time.
• Do not turn the heater upside down
• Lay the heater gently on it’s back.
• The feet are positioned in each corner
of the heater and fixed using the
washers and screws provided.
• Using a No. 2 pozidrive screw-driver
tighten the screws.
POSITIONING YOUR HEATER
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a
firm, level base near to, but not directly
beneath a suitable mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not
positioned close to the chosen position, as this
would create a potential fire hazard.
The doors of this heater are made from cast
iron and are therefore quite heavy. When
moving into position please take this into
account.
SAFETY WARNINGS
FOLLOW these instructions carefully.
Never cover or obstruct in any way the heat
slots at the back of the heater.
The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT
COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of
overheating that exists if the heater is acci-
dentally covered.
The casing of this heater is designed to get
HOT. Care should be taken not to touch the
fire during operation.
It is recommended that a fire guard is provided
when the room is used by elderly, infirm or
young persons.

• Switch (B) down to 1kW, leave ‘C’ set to top
position.

• Leave ‘B’ set at 1kW and switch ‘C’ to 2kW.
Note: Switches ‘B’ and ‘C’ will not operate
without switch ‘A’ being on.

light fittings.
• Remove the faulty light bulb by unscrewing it.
• Replace with a 15W SES Pygmy Lamp.

• Check heater is plugged in and switched on at the
mains.
• Check the switches are correctly set.
• Check the 13A fuse in the plug. Replace if
necessary.
Heat but no Light in Coal Bed
• Replace light bulb - see instructions overleaf.
Light but no Heat
• The thermostatic cut-out has operated. This will
re-set after a short period of time.
• Ensure the air supply and venting are not
restricted.
• If still blowing cold air, unplug the heater and
phone our helpline.
No Flame-effect
• Unplug the heater and phone our helpline.
Bulbs do not last very long
• If the bulbs keep blowing there is not a fault with
the fire. It is not possible to predict the life of a
lamp, some burn out more quickly than others.
Noise from the fans
• Unfortunately there is always some noise from the
fans, we have done our utmost to reduce this but
they will never be completely silent.
