• In order to avoid overheating, DO NOT COVER the appliance. Do not place
material or garments on the appliance, or obstruct the air circulation around
the appliance, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause
overheating and a fire risk.
• This Heater carries the warning symbol indicating that it must not

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. A fan heater can
provide heating in cold weather. A distance of 1 metre (3 feet) must be maintained
between the front of the heater and any surrounding furniture, overhanging curtains
or other obstructions.
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.
Only used filtered water in this appliance.
Once installed, never move this appliance or lay it on its back, without draining the
water from the sump and water tank. The water tank, sump, sump lid, tank cap and air
filters must be cleaned once every week, particularly in hard water areas. If you intend
on not using the appliance for longer than 1 week, drain the water from the sump and
water tank and dry the sump.
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.
The sump and water tank in this product are treated with a biocidal product, being
Silver Biocide, in order to control harmful or unwanted organisms. This conforms with
the latest relevant ISO standard, Do not drink water from the sump or from the tanks.
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.

WARNING: FALLING OR TIPPING APPLIANCES CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH OF
YOUNG CHILDREN, PLEASE ENSURE CHILDREN DO NOT CLIMB, HANG OR STAND
ON THIS PRODUCT.
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.

Installation
Installing the Appliance
1. Clean the area where the fire will be installed e.g. remove ash residue from an
existing fireplace.
2. Hold the fire by the sides of the surround and gently manoeuvre into position.
3. Plug the fire into a 10amp/230 volt outlet. Ensure that the supply cable is not
trapped under the fire such that it might cause it to be damaged.
Connecting the Transducer
1. Open the stove door.
2. Gently lift out the fuel bed and carefully set aside (Fig 4).
3. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and outwards (Fig 5).
4. Remove the nozzle by unclipping and lifting upwards and outwards (Fig 6).
5. The transducer will be inside the sump. Remove from its bag.
6. Place the Transducer unit into the sump and make the connection.
7. Locate the tab on the Transducer unit into the moulded recess in the base of the
sump (Fig 7A).
8. Ensure that the cable does not obstruct the Transducer disc. To prevent the cable
becoming pinched between the nozzle and the sump, place the cable in the slot
in the wall of the sump (Fig 7B).

Installation
Filling the Water Tank
1. Gently lift out the fuel bed and carefully set aside.
2. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and outwards.
3. Place the water tank in the sink and remove the cap. Turn anti-clockwise to open
(Fig 8).
4. Fill the tank with filtered tap water only. This is necessary to prolong the life of
the flame and smoke producing unit. The water should be filtered through a con-
ventional domestic water filter unit and the filter should be replaced regularly.
5. Screw the cap back on, ensuring to not over-tighten.
6. Return the tank to the sump, with the tank cap facing down.
7. Gently place the fuel bed back into position.
Note: When the water tank is empty, the flame and smoke effect shuts off. You will
hear 2 audible beeps and the digital display will display .
