the bottom of the fire. You will now
have access to log set and
accessories.
Glass sucker clamp should
be used to reinstall the glass
panel once the logs have
been arranged.

Page 5
The wall must be of sound construction and all fixings used must be suitable for the type of wall.
If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of the installation site please contact your supplier.
From the front of the fire ensure that there is a minimum clearance of 50mm between any
non-combustible materials. For combustible material clearances please consult with the
manufacturer.
The fire can be connected directly into a fused spur or plugged into a mains socket which can be
sited on the right hand side of the fire.
Ensure that the plug socket-outlet connection for this appliance is accessible. It MUST be readily
accessible for easy electrical isolation in the event of servicing and replacing components etc.
This appliance MUST NOT be located immediately below an electrical socket-outlet.
Installation
Installation must be carried out by a qualified and competent person.
Connect the appliance to single-phase AC supply of the voltage specified on the rating plate.
Should the fire be connected directly into the mains supply, then a fused switched spur with a 13
amp fuse must be fitted. It is imperative that the power supply is capable of handling a load of
2000 watts (2kw). This appliance must be earthed. Allow sufficient flex to enable the fire to be
removed from the wall. Do not use an extension lead

IMPORTANT
This appliance is fitted with an automatic thermal cut-out safety feature to reduce the risk of
damage to appliance due to overheating. If the appliance overheats the heater element will cut
out whilst the fan will still continue to run to allow the fire to cool down sufficiently.
Once the appliance has cooled down the thermal cut-out will reset itself and switch the heater
back on. If the problem persists switch the appliance off and disconnect the power at the switch
and plug socket. Check that the heater warm air outlets and the inlets are not obstructed (the
outlets and inlets are situated on the underside of the upper canopy). If the fire is installed within
a chimney ensure that the chimney is blocked off as any draught can cause this problem.
If the heater is still not operating correctly disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice.
Maintenance Instructions
Always remove the plug from the socket-outlet and allow the heater to cool down
before cleaning. User maintenance should only be carried out by a competent person.
Light accumulated dust may be removed from the appliance with a soft dry cloth.
The exterior surface of the appliance can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth (not dripping wet).
Dry the exterior surface before operating the heater.
Household glass cleaner can be used on the fire glass.
WARNING!
Do not immerse the heater in water.
Do not use any cleaning chemicals such as detergents and abrasives.
Do not allow the interior to get wet as this could create a hazard.
In the event of malfunction contact the manufacturer, do not try to repair the heater
yourself as this may result in a fire hazard or electric shock.
Environment
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste.
Use separate collection facilities. Contact your local government for
information regarding the collection services available in your local area. If
electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain, thus
damaging your health and wellbeing.
When replacing old appliances with new ones the retailer is legally obligated
to take away your old appliance for disposal free of charge.
