Flamerite Apollo Tall Electric Stove
1. Installation of Stove
WARNING: Please ensure the following are strictly adhered to upon installation.
A minimum clearance of 40mm is required around the top, both sides and to the rear of the stove. If not this may cause
the heater to cut out.
The Stove must be positioned so that the plug socket is accessible once installed. In the unlikely event of breakdown access
must be allowed to the rear of the Stove so that it may be serviced. The mains cable must therefore be long enough to
allow this. If the removal of the plug is absolutely necessary for installation, cut off within 100mm only of the plug itself.
Any further may affect your warranty.
Where the Stove is being used in an existing chimney, it is very important that the chimney and its drawn airflow are
completely blocked off to prevent directional airflow problems with the heater as well as the thermal cut out to activate.
Positioning the Stove.
If using in conjunction with one of our Fireplace suites, a piece of glass may also supplied which should be placed on the hearth for
the stove to sit on.
(Optional) 150mm Fireplace Deeper Stove Insert
Before final fitting of the fireplace the Stove Insert must be attached to the mantle. We recommend this be done as close as
possible to the hole the fireplace is to be fitted.
Push the two together and screw the back panel to the mantle using the screws in the bag labelled red into the holes only
marked in red.
Secure the base with the screws in the bag labelled black into the holes only marked in black.
Next unscrew the connection box on the inside of the mantle leg (this should be left unscrewed) and connect the wires,
Live (brown) to Live (brown) and Neutral (blue) to Neutral (blue) from the stove insert. (12v)
Now gently push the fireplace into position.
Coal Fuel Effect Layout
The stove is supplied with two pieces of orange fuel bed, 1 flat, 1 U-Shaped, 8 orange coals, 6 small, 5 medium and 4 large ceramic
coals.
Place the flat orange fuel bed into the recess above the light bulbs, followed by the U-Shaped part onto and against the
back of the chamber, open area down. Fig.1
Next proceed with placing the 8 orange coals in any order into the chamber, 4 on top of the U-Shaped part and 4 in front
on the flat orange fuel bed. Fig.2
The 6 small ceramic coals, place in the chamber in front of the 4 most forward orange coals. Fig.3
The medium size ceramic coals, place all 5 across the middle of the fuel bed to the rear of the small ceramic coals, on top of
the front 4 orange coals. Fig.4
Continue laying the 4 remaining larger ceramic coals to the rear of the 5 ceramic coals just laid on top of the second set of
orange coals. Fig.5

programmable fade and strobe functions.
A dimmer and on-off function are also present but will only work with the flame image, it has no control over
the fuel bed lighting.
Areas around the fire will become hot when activated. We strongly recommend small children be kept away from having any direct
contact with the appliance by means of fitting a fireguard. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (or children) with reduced
physical sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not
play with this appliance.
3. Maintenance
Warning: Before any maintenance/cleaning is undertaken always disconnect the fire from the mains power supply.
Replacing the fuel effect lamps
Your Stove uses two 5w E14 LED 3000k lamps to illuminate its fuel effect. Replacement lamps are available from Flamerite Fires and
its stockists (see top of page 1). Please note that replacement lamps are not covered under warranty.
Remove the top, then the front. See 2.6. Fitting the Glass Front & Top
Remove any fuel effect. See 2.3 Coals, 2.4 Logs or 2.5 Pebbles.
Remove the orange fuel base and replace the lamps accordingly.

Replacing LED Projection lamp
Tool Needed, Phillips Screwdriver. Your log or coal Stove uses a 5w LED 3000k GU10 lamp for its flame effect. A pebble Extreme
stove uses a 5w LED RGB (55-40LM) GU10. Replacement LED lamps are available from Flamerite Fires and its stockists (see top of
page 1). Please note that replacement LED lamps are only covered by a two year warranty.
To gain access the top must first be removed, See 2.6. Fitting the Glass Front & Top. Remove the ten screws from around
the perimeter of the top plate and lift along with the projector carefully out of the stoveFig.7.
Separate the lamp connecter from the lamp by twisting it anti-clockwise and remove the screw from the clamp holding the
lamp in place. Fig.8
Release the lamp by pulling upward then away, the clamp will bend forward. Fig.9.
Insert the new LED GU10 pushing down making sure it clicks into place. If an RGB colour changing lamp make sure the
“Dot” on the front face of the lamp is at the bottom, see arrow in Fig.9.
Replace the screw in the clamp and reattach the lamp connector. Fig.10
Carefully replace the projector back into the stove and replace the screws. Fig.7.
Finally gently reposition the top. Fig.8. 2.6. Fitting the Glass Front & Top.

Changing battery in the remote
Your remote uses a CR2032 Lithium Battery, replacements are available from Flamerite Fires stockists, most electrical or
photographic stores. Ensure battery is disposed of safely. Do not dispose of in fire, do not swallow and keep away from children.
Cleaning
The stove can be cleaned with a lint free cloth and a non abrasive cleaner. To prolong the life of the fan heater, we recommend
vacuuming areas around the inlet vent to the rear of the stove and the outlet vent beneath regularly to remove dust from around or
on the impellor.
4. Warnings
Do not use the stove in the vicinity of a bath shower or swimming pool.
Never use the stove to dry laundry.
Never install the stove directly underneath a fixed main socket.
Never cover the appliance during the operation of the stove.
The use of an extension lead is not recommended.
Particular caution should be applied to ensure that children do not play with the fuel effects.
As with any electrical appliance whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common
sense should be applied when operating your appliance, particularly in the vicinity of small children.
5. Problem solving
No power to the stove: Check the wall socket, plug, fuse and lamps.
No illumination: Make sure stove is turned on. Check heater is working, if so check lamps. Turn on RGB lamp using its
remote.
Illumination but no heat: The safety cut may have operated. See below*. Check there is a gap to the rear of the stove to
the back of the fireplace, minimum 40mm.
Noise when illuminated: Due to moving parts, the electric stove will make a noise.
Noise from the heater when in use: The sound of rushing air is normal.
*Automatic safety cut out: The heater is fitted with an automatic cut out to prevent any damage due to overheating. The element
will continually and automatically cut out if the airflow is obstructed. Never cover the air inlets or outlets. To reset, switch the stove
off, disconnect from the mains supply, remove the cause of overheating and allowed to cool for a suitable period then switch the
stove back on. Caution: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out, the appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to circuit regularly switched on and off by a utility.
