2. INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual gives you information about the design,
operation and maintenance of your fire, as well as safety
precautions and environmental recommendations.
As you read this manual, you will quickly learn how to operate
your fire. You will also find information about the safety and
maintenance of the equipment.

keep the manual in a safe place.
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 low
wattage motors and two or three 40 watt lamps. Using the
flame effect on its own, therefore, requires little electricity.
The controls are concealed behind the 'ashpan' flap, control
cover. A choice of 900 W or 1800W thermostatically controlled
heat output is provided by the fan heater, which is concealed
behind the top grille.
VARDA and NARVIK are designed to be inset in a fireplace
opening.
IVAR, ALMA and OT ELLO are designed to be free standing and
are normally positioned against a wall.
This appliance complies with the CE directives.

5.4 THERMOSTAT OPERATION
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room
temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat
unnecessary when the room is warm.
IVAR/ALMA
To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob
fully clockwise to 'max' position. When the room is warm
enough, turn the knob back slowly until the thermostat just
clicks off. The heater will now maintain your selected
temperature (fig. 14).
Note: Once the thermostat has switched the appliance off it
may take some time before the heater comes back on. This
does not mean that the appliance is faulty.
VARDA/NARVIK/OT ELLO
The thermostat regulates the heat output according to user
needs. To set the temperature you require, turn the temperature
knob to position 3. If after a period of time you require more
heat turn the knob to position 3. If after a period of time you
require more heat turn the knob to a higher setting, or further
reductions in heat output may be obtained by turning the knob
to lower settings (fig. 15).
5.5 THERMAL SAFETY CUT-OUT
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the heater to prevent
damage due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet
was restricted in any way. The heater will switch on once the
obstruction has been removed and the heater has cooled. If the
cut-out continues to operate intermittently, the heater should be
switched off and a service agent contacted.
5.2 FLAME EFFECT
Press Lswitch to the 'ON' position (a switch
is in the "ON" position when the red indicator
mark on the switch is visible). The flame effect
will now operate.
5.3 HEATING UNIT
You have a choice of low heat 900 W or high heat 1800 W
output. Both settings have thermostat temperature control. In
order to operate the heating, switch Lmust be in the 'ON'
position (see fig. 13).
5.3.1 Low eat Setting
With switch Lin the 'ON' position, press switch ' ' to 'ON'.
5.3.2 igh eat Setting
