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.

General Information
The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without heat, so that
the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year.
To reduce heat loss and to prevent any chimney up draft affecting the operation of
your stove fire, we recommend that the chimney flue is sealed off.
Always ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface.
Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that
stated on the appliance.
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 fan heater & flame
effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
Electrical Connection
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 at the start of the instruction manual and operating instructions to
follow. Please retain this user’s guide for future reference
If you settle this appliance in an existing chimney space, we recommend that;
1. You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
2. You block off the chimney flue.
This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the heating unit and will also
reduce heat loss up the chimney.
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully). Retain
all packing for possible future use e.g. in the event of moving or returning the appliance
to your supplier.
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.

Led Lamps
This fire is fitted with LED lamps. These generate the same light levels as traditional
bulbs, but use a fraction of the energy consumed.
Step 4
Using the 130g bag of crystals supplied, first place some crystals into the three clear
fuel bed circles created in step 3, fill the exposed fuel bed area fully with crystals as
shown. The remainder of the crystals can then be placed anywhere else on the fuel
bed. These crystals are used to generate the illusion of hot ash and fire embers. We
recommend using the entire bag of crystals to achieve optimal effect.
