SITE REQUIREMENTS:
The appliance is designed for wall mounting only, at a minimum distance of 100mm from the floor or hearth to the bottom edge of the rear
frame. The wall should be relatively flat and not interfere with any of the various vent holes in the back panel. The wall must be structural-
ly sound and constructed of a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wallpaper, dry-lined plaster-
board are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as “flock blown vinyl” embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts
of heat should be avoided as some discolouration may occur.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the
weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour control barrier and/or structural mem-
ber of the house frame are not damaged.
FIXING THE APPLIANCE:
Marking PPositions:
Having selected the final mounting position for the appliance, taking into account the site requirements as detailed above, the fire can now
be fixed to the wall. There are four fixing positions, two upper “hanging” positions, and two lower side bracket positions. Refer to Fig 1 for
details. The two upper positions are located 116mm down from the top edge of the top frame, and are spaced 350mm apart about the
centre line of the appliance. Once these have been marked the lower fixing positions can then be marked. These are 395mm vertically
below the upper fixing positions, and 103mm horizontally outward from the upper fixings. See Fig 1. Use a spirit level to ensure that both
upper and lower fixing positions are horizontally aligned.
Wall FFixings:
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity wall or a solid wall, drill four holes using a 7mm masonry bit.
Insert the fibre wall-plugs provided. If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or timber framed construction, then special cavi-
ty screw fixings will be required, that are not supplied with this product. Insert 2 x 137mm long fixing screws into the upper two wall-plugs,
taking care to leave the screws protruding approximately 6mm from the wall.
Locate the two lower wall fixing brackets, and attach to the wall using the two remaining 137mm long fixing screws. Note: before fully tight-
ening onto the wall, the brackets should be orientated into the final fixing positions as shown in Figs 1 and 2.
The appliance can now be “hung” onto the upper wall fixings, ensuring that the heads of the screws go through the keyhole shaped holes,
and then drop down into the slot.
Now slide in the lower case sides inside the left and right hand side lower fixing brackets as shown in Fig 2. Check that the hole in the lower
fixing brackets aligns with the hole in the side of the box on both left and right hand side.
Recheck that the appliance is perfectly horizontal with a spirit level, and
then attach the box to the lower brackets using the 2 x No 8 self tapping
screws and fully tighten.
Finally peel off any remaining protective plastic coatings on the front and
rear frame, curved backpanel and the plastic fuel bed.
Placement oofPPebbles:
Unpack the pebbles and arrange them over the fuel bed. The final pebble arrangement can only be done later when the appliance lamps
are switched on and light shines up through the transparent cover. Leave a gap of approximately 25mm between the back panel and the
pebbles. This allows light to shine up through the cut outs and illuminate the back panel.
OPERATING THE FIRE:
Read aall iinstructions bbefore uuse
Check that the fan outlet, mounted underneath the opening at the top, is not covered or obstructed in any way, and ensure the power to
the fire is switched on. The appliance is controlled using four switches mounted underneath the opening at the right hand side.
The left hand switch marked ((0I), controls the main power to the appliance and switches on the visual light display. This feature can be used
independently of the heating features.
The next switch marked ((*)operates the fan blower without heat, and can be used for cool air circulation. However for this feature, the
main power switch (0I), must also be in the “on” position.
The next switch with a “single bar” marked ((I) operates the low heat, (1kW), setting.
The switch with “ two single bars” marked ((II) operates the high heat, (2kW), setting.
To operate the fire in any of the above modes, the left hand switch marked ((OI) must be switched to the “on” position.

OPERATING THE FIRE ((continued):
To operate the fire, the left switch must be turned on first, followed by the second switch to start the blower, if required. To obtain heat from
the appliance, the I switch must then be operated for LOW heat, followed by the II switch for the HIGH heat setting.
The aappliance ccan bbesswitched ooff aataany ttime, iirrespective ooftthe pparticular mmode sselected, bbyssimply sswitching tthe lleft hhand sswitch mmarked
(OI) ttotthe ““off” pposition. IItiisaalso rrecommended ttouunplug tthe ppower ssupply ccable aattthe ssupply ooutlet wwhen nnot iinuuse.
SAFETY CUT-OOUT SYSTEM:
This appliance has a safety cut-out system fitted which will activate if the air inlets or outlets are obstructed. For safety reasons the fire WILL
NOT switch on again automatically.
NOTE: TThe vvisual llight eeffect wwill rremain ooperational iiftthe ccut-oout iisaactivated, oonly tthe ffan hheater iispprevented ffrom ooperating.
The ffollowing pprocedure mmust bbeccarried oout bbefore tthe ffire ccan bbeooperated aagain:
Unplug the power supply cable at tthe ooutlet ssocket aand pplace aall sswitches ttoooff aattthe aappliance. Leave the fire OFF for a period of not less
than 10 minutes, ensuring any obstructions are removed. Plug in the power supply cable at tthe ooutlet ssocket, aand tthen sswitch oonaattthe
appliance.
If the appliance fails to operate correctly, repeat the above procedure.
If an attempt to switch on is made before the safety cut-out has reset, the heaters may cut-out for a further period of time. If the sequence
has been followed correctly and the heaters still fail to function, check the power supply cable plug is plugged in to the outlet socket.
If this is not the cause, call an electrician.
MAINTENANCE:
ALWAYS DDISCONNECT TTHE AAPPLIANCE FFROM TTHE MMAINS SSUPPLY OOUTLET SOCKET BBEFORE UUNDERTAKING AANY MMAINTENANCE.
Excluding lamps and fuses, use only genuine spare parts available from your supplier. Replacement lamps must be of the same wattage and
specification as those stated in Section 3.0 Appliance Data.
Replacing tthe llight bbulbs.
1. Switch off at the appliance, and then disconnect the
appliance at the outlet socket.
2. Identify the location of the two pozi lower cover plate
light box fixing screws, as shown in Fig 3, and remove by
unscrewing anticlockwise. Using the handle affixed to the
cover plate, pull down vertically to gain access to the light
box compartment.
3. Remove the light bulb(s). Note that the bulbs have a conventional bayonet fitting. Replace with a new bulb(s).
4. Reposition the lower cover plate back to the horizontal position, replace the two Phillips screws, and retighten fully.
5. Reconnect electrical supply and check for correct operation of lamps and both spinner assemblies.
CLEANING:
ALWAYS DDISCONNECT TTHE AAPPLIANCE FFROM TTHE MMAINS SSUPPLY OOUTLET SOCKET BBEFORE UUNDERTAKING AANY MMAINTENANCE.
There are no specific requirements for care, other than regular cleaning of the general appliance. A wipe with a dry cloth is normally suffi-
cient. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Stainless steel parts may be cleaned using an appropriate metal clean-
er or baby oil. Test on a hidden part of the stainless steel before cleaning. Clean only in the direction of the grain.
SPARES:
Refer to Section 3.0 Appliance Data for lamp and fuse specification. Excluding lamps and fuses, use only genuine manufacturers spare parts
available from your supplier.
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
As our policy is one of continuous improvement and development, we therefore hope that you will understand we must retain the right to
amend details and/or specifications without prior notice.
