8. ELECTRICITY
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must
correspond to the supply voltage. Before switching on, please read the safety advice and operating
instructions.

General Information
The re incorporates a ame 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 ame effect on its own requires little electricity. A choice of 650W or 1.3kW
heat output is provided by the fan heater which is located at the top of the unit.
Please note: If 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 ame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
Before switching on the appliance, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions.
Installation Instructions
This section describes how to set up your re.
BEFORE YOU START
1. Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible future
use e.g. in the event of moving house or returning the appliance to your supplier.
2. Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before installation.
3. Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the heater.
When installing this appliance in an existing replace opening, it is recommended that an open chimney ue is blocked
off. It is recommended that non-ammable materials are used to block off the chimney ue. This procedure is important
for the efcient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the chimney.
At the rear of the re, an adjustable foot is provided for levelling the re where the re is being installed on an uneven
surface. You can adjust the foot by removing the two screws and retting the foot in the required position.
INSTALLATION
The appliance must be secured in position to provide extra stability and to prevent it from accidentally being knocked
over. There are two methods to secure the appliance in place.
- Method A - Securing the appliance to the replace surround using the key hole slots
- Method B - Securing the appliance with optional spacer frame
The appliance can be tted into replaces or surrounds where the following dimension are available (Fig. 1).
Width: 410mm - 450mm Height: 560mm - 590mm Depth: 65mm (Minimum)
Method A (Fig. 2)
Place the appliance into the replace opening and ensure the appliance is positioned in the middle of the opening.
Locate the two key hole slots in the side anges (Fig. 2). Mark the smaller, upper part of the slots so that their position is
clear when the appliance is removed. With the appliance removed, drill an appropriate size hole in each of the marked
positions for the wall plugs supplied. Insert the two wall plugs and screw in the screws, leaving 5-8mm of the screw
protruding from the wall. Hook the appliance onto the screws ensuring the screws engage with each of the key hole
slots.
Method B (Fig. 3 & Fig. 4)
Note: The optional spacer frame enables the appliance to be secured against a at wall.

Technical Information

Fitting the spacer Frame to the Wall/Surround
Identify the rear of the spacer frame which has two keyhole slots on the top rear ange. Position the rear of the spacer
frame at against the wall. Ensure that the spacer is central to the replace and that the legs are positioned correctly
and are upright. Mark the upper position of the keyhole slots on the wall (Fig 3 ). Remove the spacer frame and drill a
hole on the marked locations using a suitable sized masonry drill bit for the supplied wall plugs. Insert two wall plugs
into the holes, then screw in two wood screws in to the wall plugs until approximately 5-8mm of screw is left protruding
from the wall.
Fitting the Spacer Frame to the Appliance
The spacer frame is secured to the appliance in four positions (Fig. 4). Secure the spacer frame to the appliance using
the four No.8 x 3/8 screws supplied.
Fitting the Appliance with Spacer Frame
Carefully lift the appliance and locate the keyhole slots on the rear of the spacer frame onto the screws in the wall. The
screws can be adjusted to ensure a tighter t. When mounting to decorative surfaces such as wallpaper, care must be
taken not to drag the appliance down the wall as it may damage the decorative surface.
Fitting the Decorative Fascia to the Appliance (Fig. 5 & Fig. 6)
Fitting the Plastic Inll Trim
Remove the plastic inll trim from its packaging. Locate the four tabs on the rear of the plastic inll trim into the four
corresponding slots on the front of the appliance. Push the inll trim downwards so that the tabs lock in place (Fig. 5)
Fitting the Fascia
Remove the fascia from its packaging. Holding the fascia rmly with both hands, lift it into place. Locate the fascia by
hanging it onto the slots on top of the appliance (Fig. 6) . Lower the fascia into the place and swing the bottom of the
fascia towards the appliance. Secure the fascia in place by the holes in the lower side legs of the fascia using the two
washers and two M4 x 25mm screws supplied.
Fitting the Fret and Ash Pan
Remove the fret and ash pan from their packaging. Centre the fret in front of the appliance. Position the ash pan beneath
the fret.

MANUAL CONTROLS
The manual controls are located at the base of the appliance. The manual controls consist of a main switch and a
thermostat (Fig. 9a). Remove the ash pan to access the controls. The main switch controls the electricity supply to the
appliance.The switch can be pressed on either side. Please see the table below for the functions that correspond to the
switching sequence.

Two Red LED’s as shown in Fig. 9b are located behind the ame panel and indicate the heat setting of the appliance.
These LED’s illuminate when a heat setting is selected and remain illuminated for aproximatly 3 seconds.
- One illuminated LED corresponds to Half Heat - 650 Watts
- Two illuminated LED’s correspond to Full Heat - 1300 Watts
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
While either half or full heat is activated, turn the thermostat knob to MAX to warm the room rapidly. When the room
temperature has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back slowly until the thermostat clicks off. The
heater will then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
Note: Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature
being higher than the thermostat setting.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
The two buttons on the remote control operate in the same way as the manual switch located at the base of the
appliance. Operation of the remote control buttons corresponds to the switching sequence in the above table.
Please note that it takes time for the receiver to respond to the remote control. Do not press the buttons more than once
within two seconds for correct operation.
BATTERY INFORMATION
1. Unclip the battery cover on the back of the remote control. (Fig. 10)
2. Install AAA batteries into the remote control, making sure to orient the positive and negative terminals correctly.
3. Replace the battery cover.
DiscardIing leaky batteries
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to national and local regulations. Any battery may leak electrolyte if
mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed
of in a re, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
THERMAL SAFETY CUT-OUT
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if the
heat outlet is restricted in any way or if the chimney ue has not been blocked off effectively. The cut-out operates by
cutting the power to the fan heater if the heater overheats. To restore power to the fan heater, unplug the appliance and
leave it rest for approximately 30 minutes. Once the temperature in the fan heater has reduced, plug the appliance in
and power it back on. If the fan heater cuts out during operation, remove any obstruction that may be restricting the heat
outlet before carrying out the above steps.
