Choosing a suitable location
This electric fire is designed to be fitted within a standard 16” x 22” fireplace opening which has a
minimum depth of 75 mm.
If the fire is installed within an existing chimney, this chimney must be dry and capped off using a
suitable chimney cap to avoid any damp.
The fire opening must have a level base so that when the fire is placed within the opening it is
stable.
Important Notice: To reduce heat losses and to prevent any chimney up draught
affecting the operation of your fire we recommend that the chimney is blocked off.
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.
If there is any doubt regarding the suitability of the installation site please contact your supplier
The fire can be connected direct 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.

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.
