WELCOME
Congratulations on your selection of the elegant Nuvo Gas Fireplace. Enjoy enchanting flame patterns
in an elegant room sealed gas fireplace. The Nuvo Range is simply breathtaking from all angles and
configurations. Nuvo has been designed with fuel beds which have been crafted from bush gathered
from the mountains surrounding Real Flame’s base in Melbourne, Victoria. We hope you create endless
memories in front of this fireplace.
Read this manual before attempting to install or use the fireplace. Always comply with the warnings
and safety instructions contained in this manual to prevent injury or property damage. When using the
fireplace basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire and injury.
INSTALLATION NOTICE
The installation of this appliance is only to be carried out by an authorised person in accordance with the Manufacturer’s Instructions,
local gas fitting regulations, AS/NZS5601.1-2013 installation code for gas burning appliances and any other relevant statutory
regulations.
In all cases the installation of this appliance shall meet the requirements as set out in AS/NZS5601.1-2013.
Do not install in a fireplace as a Type 1 installation. Not intended as a fireplace insert.
NOTE: A slight smell may be apparent for the first few hours of use. This is due to the heat resistant paint curing. It is recommended
to open windows in the room for the first lighting of the fire. In some instances a slight discolouration may occur inside the firebox.
This is a normal condition and is not covered by warranty.
WARNING
The Nuvo gas fireplace has a primary safety glass fitted. This safety glass is fitted to this appliance to reduce the risk of injury from
burns and at no time should this glass be permanently removed.
To reduce the risk of fire or injury from burners and for the protection of young children or the infirm, a secondary guard is
recommended.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The glass panel gets extremely hot! Precaution should be taken and young children supervised at all times when the heater is
operating.

INSTALLATIONS OF NUVO IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
Note – The installation of the appliance may not be suitable for use, may have a reduced performance or may have
intermittent operation in some extreme environments.
Extreme environments may be areas or high wind (Approx 65km/hr or higher) including high gust areas, high altitudes,
alpine or snow areas, extreme frost areas, coastal areas, multistory or high rise buildings, exposed alfresco areas and
extreme weather events.
The appliance has been designed and tested to ensure it meets the operational requirements of the Australian standards
AS/NZS5263.1.3 Gas space heaters and will provide reliable operation in most conditions while maintaining
appliance safety in all conditions.
The installation into an extreme environment may exceed the working limits of the appliance and the appliance may
have a reduced output, suffer infrequent stop starting, fail to operate or have a reduced life expectancy when installed
in a corrosive environment.
Finishes in some appliances may also not be suitable for semi exposed or corrosive environments.
When installed as per instructions the appliance will continue to operate safely or will shut down in a safe manner.
Non operation or reduced life expectancy due to extreme conditions is not a failure of the appliance and is not a
warranty defect.
Glen Dimplex Australia must be consulted prior to any installation into an extreme environment.
