THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Check that the voltage stamped on the rating label of your fire is the same as your house elec-
tricity supply which must be AC (alternating current).
The mains cord of the fire has a UK type plug fitted with a 13amp fuse. When replacing a fuse,
use a 13amp fuse approved to BS 1362. The fuse cover of a moulded on plug must be refitted
when changing the fuse. Should the fuse cover become lost, the plug must not be used until the
correct replacement fuse cover is obtained from your service agent.
The wires in the mains supply cord are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green
and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
If your fire is fitted with a moulded on mains plug which is not suitable for the socket outlets in
your home, the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one fitted, OR IF DESIRED THE FIRE
CAN BE FITTED WITH A FUSED SWITCH ISOLATOR.
Note: A plug cut off from a flexible cord will give a shock hazard if inserted in a 13 amp socket
elsewhere in the house. To avoid this it should be disposed of immediately.
If you are fitting an alternative type of plug then the colours of the wires in the mains cord may
not correspond with the identifying markings on the plug terminals. In this case proceed as fol-
lows:
The wire which is coloured Green/Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured Green or Green/Yellow. The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter N or coloured Black. The wire which is coloured
Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter L or coloured
Red.
• Always install the fire so that the plug is accessible.
• Do not cover or hang clothes, towels etc over or near the heater as this could cause over
heating and possible damage.
• The heater should not be used immediately below a socket outlet.
• Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower or near any source of
Water.
• Ensure that sufficient cable length is fitted to enable the mains socket to be re moved
from the appliance without stretching.
Do not use this heater with an external programme controller, thermal control, timer or any other
device which switches the heater on automatically as a fire risk may occur if the heater has been
accidentally covered or moved
HARD WIRING THE FIRE.
IF DESIRED THE FIRE CAN BE HARD WIRED TO A SWITCHED FUSED ISOLATOR.
IF A SWITCH FUSED ISOLATOR IS USED ENSURE THAT THE FUSE IN THE ISOLATOR IS
FITTED WITH A FUSE RATED AT 13AMP TO BS1362. It is recommended that this work be
undertaken by a competent engineer
UNPACKING ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION. AND GENERAL SAFETY
General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for possible future use, in the event of
moving or returning the fire to your supplier. The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be
used with or without heating, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the
year. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little electricity.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the
heater.
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 flame effect. This is normal and should
not be a cause for concern.

ELECTRIC FIRE - WALL HANGING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
1) Draw a line 600mm -> 800mm from Floor that is parallel to the floor level to a
spirit level - (height according to Customer preference)
2) Mark fixing holes through hanger bar and drill holes to suit wall fixings and
screws.
3) Fix Hanger bar to Wall using suitable
fixings.
4) Hand tighten Hanger screws that are
fitted to Hanger bar threaded insert so
as to just make contact with wall -
(approx 5mm of thread should be visi-
ble behind the screw head).
5) The main Chassis of the Fire is now
ready to be fitted.
6) Connect the mains cord to the fire as
shown in figure 2
7) Offer the fire Chassis up to the Hanger bracket paying attention to where the
Key hole slots are in the Fire back. The Chassis should be located on the
thread of the screw, not the threaded insert.
6) The Fascia and Log Guard may now be fixed to the fire chassis following the
instructions on page 5.
Wall fixing -The appliance

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FITTING THE FREE-STANDING PLINTH.
ENSURE THAT THE FIRE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS
1) Prepare the Fire chassis for insertion of the Plinth uprights, The best position to do this in
is with the Fire chassis on its face placed on a clean non-scratch surface,
2) Slide the fire back over the uprights of the plinth into the back of the fire as shown in Fig 3
until the threads are visible through the holes in the fire back, it may be necessary to ad-
just slightly to insert the M4 screws provided. Tighten the screws and anti-vibration
washers up fully.
3) Stand the Fire upright in its desired location and fit the Fascia frame, Log guard and Logs
in accordance with instructions provided on page 5
4) The fire should be positioned on a firm flat and level base.
Note: If the stand is to be used the Mains cable plug must be inserted into the mains con-
nector on the underside of the appliance as shown on Page 3 Fig 2 before the free stand-
ing plinth is Fitted. Ensure that the mains plug is not connected to the mains supply be-
fore the Free standing plinth is fitted.

1) To fit the Fascia frame, Remove the transit tape from the hanging screws, ensure that
the hanging screws in the rear of the frame are not screwed in tightly—a gap must be
maintained between the screw head and the fire front to enable the screw to slide into the
fixing hole.
2) Position the fire front so that the hanging screws either side line up with the keyhole slots
in the Fire chassis, the frame should then be gently pushed down fully to engage the
smaller diameter of the keyhole. The bottom of the frame will then locate onto the mag-
nets at the bottom of the chassis.
3) The Log guard may now be fitted. Remove the log guard screws from the fire back as
shown in figure 4—remove transit tape if fitted. Place the log guard into the gap at the
bottom edge of the screen with the bars facing forward as shown. Using the 2—M4
screws removed from the fire back, fix the log guard to the fire back—do not over tighten.
IMPORTANT—use only screws provided.
4) The Logs may now be placed between the screen and Log guard bars as indicated on
page 6.
Replacement of Lamp: The log guard must be removed by unscrewing the two screws indicated
in the above drawing before removing the fire front refer to page 8 for detailed instructions

ZENFIRE Flame Effect
Your new fire has a unique flame effect which simulates a real burning fire. The Flame Effect is
designed to be as random as possible to create a realistic effect of flames burning as seen in a
real fire.
The nature of the effect is to speed up and slow down at random intervals—this creates more
realism.
On first starting it may be noticed that the effect is slower with less flickering—the longer the fire
is left on the flickering effect will become faster, but periodically it may reduce to a glow for a
short period.
The light effect is adjustable as detailed on page 8 of these instructions. When first starting the
light effect is set at
approximately 70% of full glow for full 100% glow press and release button 1 and then press
and release again within 5 seconds of first pressing button 1

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
SAFETY CUT- OUT
The heating element is fitted with a cut-out which will switch off
the fire if it overheats. Should this occur follow the points be-
low.

once activated—do not switch the fire on until the above
checks have been completed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
Your electric heater operates using a rotary fan. Due to the working nature of this fan it is inevita-
ble that a build up of LINT, or general house dust (i.e.) carpet fibres or animal fur etc, will from
time to time accumulate around the inlet and outlet grills at the top and front of the fire. Therefore
it is recommended that regular cleaning of this area is undertaken using a standard vacuumed
cleaner attachment .
For safety reasons please ensure that the fire is switched off and has had time to cool down be-
fore cleaning.
General Cleaning.
The fire should be cleaned with an antistatic cloth to prevent dust being attracted to the high
gloss surfaces of the fire.—do not use polish.. For difficult to remove marks such as finger marks
it is recommended that a chamois leather slightly damp is used.
Note. The high gloss finish on the front of the fire is resistant to normal cleaning DO NOT USE
abrasive materials .
