1. FOREWORD
This fire incorporates a flame effect which can be used with or without heating, so that comforting effect may be
enjoyed at any time of the year. The flame effect is provided by a low wattage motor and three 60 watt lamps. Using the
flame effect on its own, therefore, requires little electricity.
The controls are located at the bottom right hand corner of the appliance (see Fig 1). A choice of 750W or 1500W heat
output is provided by the fan heater, which is concealed at the top of the heater behind the removable front panel.
The VALENCIA is designed to be inset in a fireplace opening.
