Instructions for use
Please retain for future reference

Thank you for choosing to purchase a De’Longhi fire. Please read the
instructions carefully in order to enjoy your product fully.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the fire from the packaging, checking that neither the fire nor the
power cable has been damaged during transport. Do not operate the fire if
damaged.
The pebbles can be found in one of the two long brown boxes that fit down
either side of the fire, so ensure that the accessories are removed before
discarding the boxes.
INSTALLATION OF THE FIRE
Your fire is designed for use against a flat wall surface, and a spacer frame
is supplied to enable it to fit flush. Alternatively you can use within an
existing chimney or as part of a fireplace mantel and surround suite. The
rebate depth is standard at 23/4 inches (7cm) which should fit perfectly.
Position the fire so that the plug socket is accessible.
IMPORTANT: Access must be allowed for the fire to be serviced,
which involves the heater being moved forward in order to access
the rear. Sufficient mains lead must be available to allow the fire to
be moved for access when servicing.
Should you wish to connect the fire to a fused spur, this must be carried
out by a competent electrician in accordance with the IEE wiring
regulations.
Where the inset fire is being used in an existing chimney, it is important
that the chimney is blocked off to prevent airflow problems within the fire.
Where a chimney is not blocked off sufficiently the heater may cut out and
the flame effect stop, or work poorly.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK Only)
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and will incorporate a 13 amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket,
the plug should be cut off from the mains lead and an appropriate one fitted as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 amp
socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating
a fuse the circuit must be protected by a 15 amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse using a 13amp
Astra approved fuse to BS1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a
replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct
replacement fuse cover is that marked on the base of the plug.
WARNING- THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code;
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The green and yellow wire must be connected to
the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or
the earth symbol or coloured green or green
and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or coloured red.
Green and yellow: EARTH
Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE

OPERATING THE FIRE
Controls
The on/off push button switch is located on the top right hand side of the
fire. Pushed in, it will illuminate the fire with no heat, so that you may enjoy
the flame effect all year round. Pushed again the switch will return to its
outer position and turn the fire off.
To use the heating element (the heater element is under the hood), press
the button marked with one red bar.
The fire is 2kW and is thermostatically controlled. The thermostat is
positioned nest to the heat switch.
We suggest that you turn the thermostat up to the maximum. Then, once
the required room temperature is achieved, turn the thermostat towards
minimum until you hear a click and the heater turns off. The thermostat will
then regulate the room temperature automatically.
Please note that there can be several 0C drop or rise in temperature to
activate or deactivate the thermostat. The temperature is taken from near to
the fire and therefore some fluctuations may arise. Other situations such as
the size of the room, the airflow within the room, and the proximity to other
heat sources may cause fluctuations in the thermostat’s efficiency.
Automatic Safety Cut Out
This heater is fitted with an automatic cut out to prevent any damage due
to overheating. The heater will automatically cut out if the airflow is
obstructed. To reset the fire, switch off the fire, remove the cause of
overheating and allow a suitable cooling period then switch the fire back
on.
Noise
As with all fan driven appliances the fire will make some noise due to the
movements of air occurring, this is perfectly normal.
MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance / cleaning is undertaken always disconnect
the fire from the power supply.
Replacing light bulbs
Your fire comes fitted with two 60W clear bayonet cap bulbs.
Replacements are available from good hardware/large DIY stores. Allow a
suitable time for the bulbs to cool and remove all the pebbles. Then
unscrew the knob at the base of the fire and remove the fret and filter.
Now the bulbs can be changed (use bulbs as described above). Please
note that replacement bulbs are not covered by the guarantee of the
product.
Cleaning
The fire can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. If you need to remove
fingerprints from the stainless steel, use a special stainless steel cleaner,
or a little baby oil or WD40 on a soft cloth.
WARNINGS
•Do not use the fire in a bathroom or in the vicinity of bathtubs,
washbasins, showers or swimming pools.
•Never use the fire to dry laundry.
•Never install the fire directly underneath a fixed mains socket.
•Never for any reason cover the appliance during operation.
•If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorised technical service centre.
•The use of an extension lead is not recommended.
•Do not use the fire in rooms which have an area as small as 4m3
•As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim to cover
as many eventualities as possible, caution and common sense should
be applied when operating your appliance, particularly in the vicinity
of small children.
•Particular caution should be applied to ensure that young children do
not play with or swallow any pebbles / coal.
•Should you wish to connect the fire to a fused spur, this must be
carried out by a competent electrician in accordance with the IEE
wiring regulations.

Fitting of the spacer frame
The wooden spacer frame may be easily fitted by carefully aligning the
screw heads found on the inner edge of the of the spacer frame with the
keyhole slots on the rear of the fire, and gently pushing down into place.

Accessory packs

purchased from De’Longhi.
Please contact Customer Services (0845 6006845) for more information.
Pebbles
Once the fire is installed in the correct position, unpack the pebbles from
the accessory box. The pebbles are natural; therefore variation in size,
shape and colour will occur. Place them to your liking using as many as
you require. We suggest you place a medium sized pebble in each corner
and then add 3 larger pebbles along the front, filling the gaps with the
smaller pebbles and building to a slightly higher level in the centre of the
fire.
