WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
• Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to
chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
• If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery
immediately call the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (in
Australia) or 0800 764 766 (in New Zealand) for fast, expert advice.
• Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured,
e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the
compartment is not secure.
• Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can
still be dangerous.
CAUTION: No obvious symptoms
Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a
child's oesophagus (food pipe).
There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:
• cough, gag or drool a lot
• appear to have a stomach upset or virus
• be sick
• point to their throat or stomach
• have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat
• be tired or lethargic
• be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise 'not themselves'
• lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite
• not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food
These types of symptoms vary or fluctuate. with the pain increasing and then
subsiding.
A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh
(bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate help. The lack of clear
symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with 'flat' or spare button or
coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.

Operating Temperature
-20°-40°C
Fixed Wiring
In some jurisdictions this appliance is supplied without a plug. This is to comply with
local regulations. In such instances, this appliance must be installed by a suitably
qualified installer and the means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring in accordance to the local wiring rules.
WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
Note: A 10Amp circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is preferred, but not essential
in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker
trips or the fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional
appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.
Unpacking the Unit
The unit comes packed with a protective sheet covering the front of the unit. This sheet
is intended to prevent dust and debris from entering during construction. This sheet
is designed so that it can be partially removed to complete the wiring and unpacking
and can be reinstalled until the final installation is complete.
The log set was installed on the grate and the grate permanently fixed to the firebox
at the factory.
Carefully remove the packaging from around the log set. Make sure the wires from
the log set are connected securely to the grate box.
CAUTION: The Realogs contain LEDs to create a unique pulse and glow effect. Handle
the log set carefully. They are fragile and can crack or break if dropped.
Thermal Safety Cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due
to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet was restricted in any way. If the
cut-out operates, unplug the heater from the socket outlet and allow approximately
10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the heater back on remove any
obstruction that may be restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.
WARNING: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-
out, 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.

Dust and vacuum the firebox as needed. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to
clean painted surfaces of the built-in electric firebox. Never use abrasive cleaners.
Clean Reflector Screen
The reflector screen is cleaned in the factory during the assembly operation. During
shipment, installation, handling etc., the screen may collect dust particles. These can
be removed by dusting lightly with a clean dry cloth.
To remove fingerprints or other marks, clean the reflector screen with a damp cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners. Dry the screen completely with a lint free cloth to prevent
water spots.
