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. Loose coals and pebbles are packed
separately within the carton.
The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or
457mm (18") wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening
see also section “Installation in a fire place opening”.
A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the
fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half
or full heat. The manual controls are located in the canopy
(see Fig. 1) and the remote control is packed separately in
the carton.
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 the motor
which operates the flame effect. This is normal and
should not be a cause for concern.
Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the
voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply
voltage.
Before switching on, please read the safety warnings and
operating instructions.
For your convenience, the heater is fitted with a rewireable
plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing
the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp fuse approved by
ASTA to BS1362 must be used.
Installation in a Fireplace Opening
At the rear of the fire, two adjustable supports are provided
for levelling the fire where the base of the fireplace opening is
raised above the level of the hearth.
Adjust by removing the two screws holding each bracket in
position, then refit the bracket and the two screws in the
required position.
The metal surround may be removed to allow the fire to be
fully inset.
Note: The fire must be positioned a minimum distance of
500mm from a wall as indicated in Fig. 1.

Operation
The unique flame effect may be enjoyed whether or not the
heating elements are in operation.
Controls
The heater controls are located on the left hand side of the
canopy heat outlet - see Fig. 1.
A switch is in the ON position when the red indicator mark on
the switch is visible.
Setting the Thermostat
Plug in and set all switches to ON. Turn the thermostat knob
to MAX to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature
has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back
slowly until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will then
maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
NOTE – Should your heater fail to come on when the
thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room
temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

the overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply
to the heater for up to 10 minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch
on the heater.

resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by the utility.

Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it
to cool. The surfaces of the heater should be given an
occasional wipe over with a dry soft cloth.

the metal body of the heater.
The glass screen should be cleaned carefully with a chamois
leather. DO NOT use proprietary cleaners.
