General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future
use, in the event of moving or returning the re to your supplier.
These models are designed to be free standing and are normally
positioned against a wall.
The re incorporates a ame e󰀨ect, which can be used with or without
heating, so that the comforting e󰀨ect may be enjoyed at any time of
the year. Using the ame e󰀨ect on its own only requires little electricity.
A choice of 1kW or 2kW heat output is provided by the fan heater, which
is located at the bottom of the unit.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the same
as that stated on the heater.
Please note: Used in an environment where background noise is very
low, it may be possible to hear a sound which is related to the operation
of the ame e󰀨ect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
