The appliance must be positioned so that plug (fused spur) is accessible. Only when you are certain that you have
completed the following 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.
Fire Positioning
 Ensure that the inset dimensions match or exceed the dimensions in Fig.1
 Centralise the fire in the opening
 Gently push the fire backwards into the opening until it is flush against the
wall / panel.
 The spring clips will keep the fire in position
Fig.1
Thermostat
This model is fitted with a thermostat that is mounted on the right hand side of the stove unit.
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 on the right hand side of the stove unit.
 The first switch marked with a light bulb controls the lamp and flame effect as shown in Fig.3
 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. Fig.3
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 from the wall socket and leave for approximately 5-10 minutes.
 Clean the filter unit as described in the care section of this instruction.
 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.
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.

Using the fire as a portable appliance
Should you decide to use the appliance in a different location simply lift the fire vertically and towards to unhook from the keyhole
brackets. Lift appliance away from the suite. The bracket / stands supplied with this appliance are to be fixed using the existing
screws on the appliance and are to prevent the appliance falling over whilst in use.
Loosen the screws a couple of turns enough to enable you to slide the brackets into position. Once in position retighten the
screws (see below). The appliance is now ready for use in another room / location
*IMPORTANT* This appliance must have the feet / brackets fitted to be used as a portable appliance. These feet /
brackets are to prevent the fire from tipping over.
Maintenance:
WARNING: - Before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning, ensure appliance is disconnected from mains supply.
Only competent persons should service / repair appliance.
WARNING: There are no internal user serviceable parts, i.e. bulbs in this product. Under no circumstance should
access be gained to the internal parts other than by a suitably qualified person.
Please note: - If the supply cord on this appliance is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, Authorised
Service Agent, or a qualified person to avoid hazard.
Care:
Warning: Before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning disconnect appliance from main supply. Only competent persons

Filter – Located underneath the stove
Dust build-up can inhibit efficient performance of the fan and lead to the safety cut-out operating. Periodic cleaning of the filter
will ensure correct operation of the heater unit.
To remove the filter pull the filter unit towards the front of the fire, cleaning can be done with a vacuum cleaner and a suitable
attachment Fig. 4.
Fig 4.
General Suite Care – not glass
To maintain the appearance of you new suite we recommend that it is dusted using a lint free cloth. NEVER use any form of
abrasives or a DAMP cloth on the fire or the surround.
The area around the fire should be kept free of any materials such as lint or house dust (i.e. animal hair/ carpet fibres) that could
be drawn into the internal workings of the appliance and hence affect the performance. We recommend that you clean around
the fan grille housing at regular intervals. This can be done using standard vacuum cleaner and suitable attachment.
Glass Care
Periodically it may be necessary to remove the door for cleaning. This is achieved by first disconnecting the appliance from the
mains supply, then remove the screw directly underneath the door, this will allow the door to be removed by pulling the door
initially vertically and the towards you, this will release the door from the keyhole slots used for location.
With the door removed the inside of the glass panel can be cleaned, when cleaning glass panels use a slightly damp cloth. Do
not use washing powders or any other substance containing abrasives since these substances scratch glass.

Fault finding – Symptoms and cures
It is highly unlikely you should have a fault with your electric heater, but should there appear to be a problem, please refer to the
following checklist of our most frequently asked questions from customers. If these do not answer your query, please contact
your retailer, or call our customer service department.
No Flame Effect: Please check – does the heater still work? If Yes, - it will almost certainly need a LED unit (See Maintenance
Section)
If No, - has the heater cut out operated? To protect against overheating please refer to the safety cut out paragraph. If still not
working, first change the 13 Amp fuse in the plug with one you know works. Secondly, check the wall socket by plugging in a
table lamp that you know has worked on another socket. If this does not work, get an electrician to check the socket.
