INTRODUCTION
These stoves incorporate a flame effect which can be used without heating, so that the comforting
effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year.
The flame effect is provided by low wattage motors and two 60 watt lamps. Using the flame effect
on its own therefore requires little electricity.
The controls are located on the lower right hand side of the stove. A choice of 0.6 kW or 1.2 kW
heat output is provided by the heater, which is concealed beneath the unit.
The models are designed to be free standing and are normally positioned against a wall.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully, located at the rear of
the unit). Retain all packing until installation is complete. Position the fire at the point of use mak-
ing sure there is adequate air flow around the unit.
