This product is only suitable for well insulated spaces or occasional use
Installation & Precautions
Carefully remove the fire from the packing, checking that neither the heater nor the power cable has been damaged during transport. Do not operate the fire if
either is damaged. Please bear in mind the weight of the fire before removal from the packaging and installation. Consider if help is required. Any alteration to the
power cable should only be done by a qualified electrician and to the Flamerite Fires guidelines stated below. Your fire is guaranteed for one year from the date of
purchase. In the unlikely event of a breakdown you have access to our customer services team, simply call 01543 251122 during office hours, 9am – 5pm or e-mail on
[e-mail] The accessories are found in a box that is packed at the side of the fire.
Your fire has been designed for use as part of a fireplace mantel and surround suite. A minimum depth of 70mm is required. The standard dimensions of the aperture
in the decorative back panel into which the fire fits are height 575mm and width 425mm (16.5” x 22.5”) On the Operetta however they are H 575mm (22.5”) x W
575mm (22.5”).
IMPORTANT: The fire must be positioned so that the plug socket is accessible once the fire has been installed. In the unlikely event of breakdown access must be
allowed for so that the fire may be serviced. This involves the fire being moved forward in order to access the rear. The mains cable must therefore be long
enough to allow this. If the removal of the plug is absolutely necessary for installation, cut off in an area within 100mm only of the plug itself. Do not cut the
cable fireside of the connector block; doing so will affect your warranty.
Where the inset fire is being used in an existing chimney, it is important that the chimney is blocked off to prevent airflow problems with the fire. Where a chimney
is not blocked off sufficiently it may cause the heater to cut out and the flame effect to stop or work poorly.
Electrical connections
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug that incorporates a 13A fuse. The replacement fuses must be 13A and ASTA approved. If the fuse cover is lost the plug must
not be used until a replacement cover, of the same colour, is obtained an electrical retailer.
The appliance is fitted with a moulded plug if it is necessary cut off the plug, for any reason, it must be discarded immediately with the fuse removed. Under no
circumstances should any attempt be made to reuse the plug, do not insert into any 13A socket as this could cause a hazard.
WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Fuel Effects (coal or log)
Once the fire has been installed in the correct position, unpack the coal fuel effect found in the accessory box and arrange them in a random formation on
top of the fuel bed and behind the metal fret. The log effect is fixed and requires no further work.
OPERATING THE FIRE
Fire controls
•The on/off switch is located under the hood; this is marked with I/O and will need to be pushed in to illuminate the flame effect.
•The flame effect has to be illuminated for the heater to work. For heating the controls are located under the hood of the fire also next to the
on/off switch. For 1kw of heat push in the switch marked with a single bar I. For 2kw of heat push in the switch marked with the double bars II.
Both switches have to be depressed for 2kw of heat. The thermostat should be switched to maximum. Once the required room temperature is
achieved turn the thermostat towards minimum until you hear a click. The thermostat will then regulate the room temperature automatically.
Thermostat information: There can be up to a 2 or 3 degrees drop or rise in temperature for the thermostat to activate or deactivate. The temperature is
taken from around the fire unlike a wall thermostat that is usually positioned around the middle of a room, so please allow for inaccuracies. Situations such
as room size or position of fireplace i.e. near a working radiator might cause the thermostat not to work efficiently.
Safety concerns: Areas around the fire will become hot when the heater is activated. We strongly recommend small children be kept away from having any
direct contact with the appliance by means of fitting a fireguard. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (or children) with reduced physical
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance
by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with this appliance.
Heater thermal cut out: The heater is fitted with a thermal cut out to prevent any damage due to overheating. The element will continually and
automatically cut out if the airflow is obstructed. Never cover the air outlets. To reset the thermal cut out, switch the fire off, disconnect from the mains
supply, remove the cause of overheating and allowed to cool for a suitable period then switch the fire back on. Caution: In order to avoid a hazard due to
inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out, the appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to
circuit regularly switched on and off by a utility.

PROBLEM SOLVING
No power to the fire Check the wall socket, plug and fuse.
No illumination Turn off main on/off switch and leave for one minute to reset software or
Check dimmers set too low. Check bulbs have not blown or internal fuse has not
blown (see maintenance). Heater will still work if any of the above are the case.
Heater cuts out continually The safety cut has operated see note on operating the Fire. Where the inset fire
is being used in an existing chimney, it is important that the chimney is blocked
off to prevent airflow problems with the fire. Where a chimney is not blocked off
sufficiently it will cause the heater to cut out and the flame effect to stop or work
poorly.
Remote will not work. Check battery. See maintenance, Changing or matching remote frequency.
Loud humming noise when illuminated Due to moving parts, the electric fire will make a noise. This may vary slightly.
For a comparison it may be necessary to visit your local dealer. Important: your
home is quieter than a busy store.
Noise from the heater when in use Same as above. As well as a slight humming noise the sound of rushing air will be
apparent. Both are normal.
Frame sits away from fire upon delivery There is a tolerance of 2 to 4mm where to frame sits around the fire. This is
normal. The frames are hand made. Held on by magnets it may be pulled upward
and off then replaced back onto the fire in a similar fashion if an obvious coming
away has occurred.
