sure you have all the parts as listed above. If not, contact :

 Be-Modern Helpline on 0191 430-0901.

Finishing Touches

Prior to installation the transit screws in the front of the fire must be removed prior to

installation so the fire can be removed if necessary.

Installing the Mantel

Place Suite (A) in the required position and remove any obstructions, i.e. cut to shape or

remove skirting to allow the Suite to butt up flush against the wall (if required). Remember

to allow enough space when cutting the skirting for the cable to exit from the desired side.

1. Trial fit the mantel in the required position. Remove any obstructions, i.e. cut to shape or

remove skirting to allow the mantel to butt up to the wall. Note: Mantel is a two adult person

lift.

2. Screw the 2 mantel brackets (B) to the inside of each leg using the 4 screws provided

(D - 16mm), making sure that the brackets are flush with the rear of the leg. See Fig.1&2.

3. With the mantel in position. Lightly scribe the wall in line with outer edges of the mantel.

Lift the mantel away from the wall. Measure inwards from the previously scribed line the

thickness of the mantel leg plus 10mm. See Fig.2.

4. Fix the wall brackets (C) in place using the appropriate fixing dependent on the type of

wall (Fixing are not supplied). Ensure mantel brackets (B) will fall halfway between the folds

on the wall brackets (C). See Fig.2.

5. IMPORTANT: If a power cable is to be routed to the rear of the mantel. Care must be

taken not to crush or damage the cable when positioning the mantel.

6. Lift the mantel onto the wall brackets (C) and confirm it is securely held in place. If any

adjustment is required take the mantel off the wall and adjust using the slots on the mantel

brackets (C).

7. NB. Should a defect be discovered and in the event of a suite being permanently fixed to

the wall the householder will be responsible for any costs incurred.

Place waste packaging back into box and dispose of RESPONSIBLY. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug or fused spur is

accessible. Only when you are certain that you have completed the installation should you plug in and switch on at the wall socket.

Preparation for Use

Check that the supply voltage details on your flame effect fire are in accordance with your electrical supply. Your fire is fitted with a plug incorporating a 13

Amp fuse. In the event of replacing the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 Amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used. Before switching on, please

read the following operation instructions.

Before You Start

 The appliance Data Plate is located on the underside of the Heater box and can be accessed by removing the glass. (Disconnect from the

mains supply before removing the glass as described in the maintenance section).

 This fire should not be installed into an open / existing fireplace without the opening being professionally blanked off to reduce the risk of a back

draught, which could cause the safety cut-out to operate.

 The fire has two spring steel brackets affixed to either side. These are used to hold the fire in the correct position when inserted into the recess /

surround as below.

Installation:

Figure 3 – Installation Recess / Surround Dimensions (All Dims are in mm)

 Ensure that the installation aperture dimensions are as to the above specification.

 Swing the unit into the opening and rest the bottom of the fire onto the bottom of the recess as shown in Fig.4.

Fitting of Optional Metal Trim – 1 Piece or 3 Piece trim

1 Piece trim (3 sided)

IMPORTANT: The trim is located in the rear of the surround. Do not discard trim with

packaging.

Please use the following instructions as a guide for fitting the optional 1 piece metal trim

(only available with selected models).

Note - Remove the protective plastic film from the trims prior to fitting.

Position the magnets on the insides of the trim, 2 at the top and 2 on each side on the leg

pieces spreading them out evenly to get a strong pull on the fire metalwork. Place the three

pieces of the trim against the fire frame as shown in Fig.6. The trim installation is now

complete.

3 Piece trim (3 Sided)

IMPORTANT: The trim is located in the rear of the surround, on top of the fire. Do not

discard trim with packaging.

Please use the following instructions as a guide for fitting the optional 3 piece metal trim

(only available with selected models).

Note- remove the protective plastic film from the trims prior to the following steps.

Position the magnets on the insides of the three trim parts (left, right and top) spreading

them out evenly as to get a strong pull on the fire metalwork. Place the left hand trim

vertically against the fire frame as shown in Fig.7. Note - you should feel the magnets pulling

the trim into place. Repeat this process using the right hand side and finally the top trim

Fig.8. When locating the top trim make sure the sides sit flush with the outer edge.

The trim installation is now complete.

Thermostat

This model is fitted with a thermostat that is mounted on the left-hand side of the heater box control panel (see Fig.9).

It can be used to control the heat output to maintain a constant room temperature to suit user requirements. This will ensure that excessive heat is not

produced unnecessarily.

To set the temperature

The dial is marked with numbers to indicate the maximum and minimum temperature positions. Start with setting 9 and when the room has reached a

desired level turn the dial slowly to the left until the thermostat ‘clicks’ off. The thermostat will then maintain the room temperature at the selected level.

To increase the temperature, turn dial back to the right to a higher setting.

Note: - It is possible that if the room temperature is higher than the thermostat setting it will not come into operation and the heater will remain

off until the temperature of the room cools.

Manual 3 Switch Operation:

The Flame effect and heat controls are located under the top shelf of the fire surround on the right-hand side of the heater box as shown in Fig.9.

 The first switch marked with a light bulb controls the lamp and flame effect as shown in Fig.10.

 The next two switches operate the fan convector heater. To use the heater the middle of the three switches marked O/I (O is off, I is on) should

be operated first for 1 kW of heat. The right hand switch also marked O/I should be used together with the middle switch to give 2kW of heat.

 Note’ lamp’ switch must be in the ‘on’ position for heater to function.

Safety Thermal Cut-out and Thermal Link:

This appliance is fitted with an Electric Safety Control (E.S.). This is a safety device, which switches off the fire if, for any reasons, the appliance

overheats. The E.S. Control can only be re-set after the appliance has cooled down.

In Order to re-set the E.S. Control, proceed as follows:

 Switch off the appliance. Unplug at wall socket and leave for approximately 5-10 minutes.

 Plug in switch on appliance and the E.S. Control will re-set.

Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the E.S. Control switches off again it is advisable to have the appliance checked by a competent

electrician.

Note: -This appliance also has a secondary thermal fuse link incorporated into the heating element that will break the electrical circuit in the event that the

heater fan fails to operate. Unlike the E.S. if this link breaks the fire will not be allowed to re set and the appliance should be checked by a competent

electrician and the fan / element replaced.

CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external

switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
