General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future
use, in the event of moving or returning the fire to your supplier.
The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without
heating, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the
year. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little electricity.
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 flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
