heater. If the breaker trips when the heater is
used then you may need to move the heater
to another location or unplug other appliances
that are on the same circuit. If you require an
extension cord use one that is rated at 1875
watts.

Controls and switches are located on front
panel inside the glass door.
FLAME: Press this button into the I position
for main power and flame effect. The indicator
light will turn on. See below for other control
switches.
HEATING: For low heat function - Press this
switch while the FLAME switch is in the I
position for low heat. The indicator light will
turn on.
TURBO: For high heat function - Press
this switch while the FLAME and HEATING
switches are in the I position for high heat. The
indicator light will turn on.
THERMOSTAT: To adjust the temperature to
your individual requirements. Turn the thermo-
stat dial to the right (clockwise) to increase the
desired temperature and to the left for lower
temperature. This thermostat control dial can
only be used while the FLAME switch and
HEATING/TURBO switches are in the I position.
When the heater reaches the desired tempera-
ture, the heater and Heating /Turbo indicator
light will turn off but the fan will continue to
operate. Adjust this knob to restart the heater.
FLAME INTENSITY: Turn the dimmer dial
clockwise or counter clockwise to get the
desired flame intensity. The dimmer switch
can only be used when the FLAME switch is in
the I position.
NOTE: When the FLAME switch is turned in O
position, all other heater functions will stop
even though the switches may be in the I
position.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat,
according to the room temperature. Set the
thermostat dial fully clockwise to the maxi-
mum position initially.
When the room is warm enough, reduce the
setting by slowly turning the thermostat dial
anticlockwise until the heater just clicks off.
This will then maintain the room temperature
at the desired level.
CAUTION
If you use this heater in conjunction with a
thermal control, a programme controller, a
timer or any other device that switches on the
heater automatically, remember to observe all
safety warnings at all times.
The stove heater has a safety overheat protec-
tion. If the overheat protection trips, turn off the
FLAME switch and unplug the power cord from
the receptacle. It should reset automatically
after 5 minutes.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Disconnect power and unplug the power cord
before attempting any maintenance or clean-
ing to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or personal injury. The bulbs in your unit can
become extremely hot. Allow at least 10 min-
utes between turning off the unit and removing
the light bulbs to avoid the accidental burning
of the skin.
FLAME EFFECT
The fire effect is created with the use of a 40
watt B-10 candelabra light bulb with an E-12
(small) socket base. The light bulb will have
to be replaced from time to time when they
burn out.
During normal operation the stove heater will
always give you simulated flame function. If
the intensity of flame suddenly increases, it
means that the light bulb is going to burn out.
Replace the light bulb immediately according
to the instruction and do not operate the stove
heater when the light bulb burns out or without
the light bulb.
CHANGING THE
LIGHT BULB
STEP 1: Open the door of unit with the handle.
STEP 2: Loosen the 2 screws at the front of the
log set inside the stove. Carefully lift the logset
up far enough to access the light bulbs. You
will find 1 X 40W Type B-10 candelabra light
bulb with E-12 socket base at the bottom.
STEP 3: Replace the burned out light bulb
using a new 40 watt Type B-10 candelabra light
bulb.
STEP 4: Reinstall the logset.
STEP 5: Plug in the unit.
