Installation Instructions

This appliance has been designed to be housed in separately designed structures – e.g. furniture, fireplace surrounds etc.

To incorporate this appliance into another structure, it should be securely fitted, following these guidelines:

1. Construct an opening for the appliance (Fig 18)
   
2. Ensure that there is sufficient room to thread through the mains cable
3. A cavity of at least 100cm2 is required to ensure air can circulate into the appliance. This pathway for air must not be obstructed.
4. Lower the appliance into the opening (Fig 19)
   
5. Remove the water sump, to enable access to the screw holes.
6. Screw the appliance into the structure by using suitable screws, not supplied.

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. Before connecting to the mains supply, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the appliance.

INSTALLATION

Place the appliance against a wall.

Connecting the Transducer Unit + Lamps

1. Release the two red tabs by turning them by 90 degrees (see Fig 2)

2. Lift out the Sump Nozzle (Fig 3)

3. Insert lamps into lamp holders (Fig 4), carefully locating the pins into the holes (Fig 4a)

4. Push lamps firmly into place

5. Place the Transducer Unit into the sump and join the cable to the connector on the sump (Fig 5)

6. To ensure that the Transducer Unit is correctly placed in the sump, the tab on the Transducer Unit should be lined up with the moulded recess in the sump (Fig 5a).

7. Ensure that the cable is not placed above the disc on the Transducer Unit (Fig 5b). To prevent the cable becoming pinched between the nozzle and the sump, place the cable in the slot in the wall of the sump.

8. Replace the Sump Nozzle and secure it by turning the two red tabs by 90 degrees (Fig 6)

Filling the Water Tank

9. Place Water Tank in sink and remove cap (turn anti-clockwise to open) (Fig 7)

10. Fill Water Tank with filtered tap water only. This is necessary to prolong the life of the flame and smoke effect producing unit. The water should be filtered through a conventional domestic water filter unit and the filter should be replaced regularly. Distilled water must not be used.

11. Screw the cap back on – do not overtighten.

12. Place the Water Tank in the Sump, with the tank cap facing down and the flat side of the tank facing outward (Fig 8)

Assembling the fire

13. Place the Fuelbed on top of the Water Tank and Mist Nozzle (Fig 9)

Connect the power cable to the appropriate power connector at the back of the appliance and Plug the power cable into a 13amp/240volt outlet. The appliance is now ready for use.

Operating the Fire

This section describes how to activate your fire using either the manual controls or remote control.

MANUAL CONTROLS

The manual controls are located beneath the hinged flap. (See Fig.10 for Manual Control lay out)

Switch ‘A’:- Controls the electricity supply to the Fire. Note: This switch must be in the ‘ON’ ( I ) position for the Fire to operate.

Switch ‘B’:- Press once to turn on the flame effect. This will be indicated by an audible beep. Although the main lights operate immediately it will take a further 30 seconds before the flame effect starts. Press to put fire into standby mode. This will be indicated by one beep.

Control Knob ‘C’:- Controls the intensity of the flame effect.
Turning the control knob to the left increases the flame effect, turning the control knob to the right will decrease the flame effect.

GETTING THE DESIRED FLAME EFFECT

1. The flame control knob ‘C’ (Fig.10) may be turned up or down to give a more realistic effect.
2. Generally the flames appear more realistic when the flame control is turned down.
3. Give the flame generator time to react to changes you may make.
4. The appliance will use less water if the flame effect is set to a lower level (control knob ‘C’).
5. Do not tilt or move the appliance while there is water in the tank or sump.
6. Make sure that the appliance is on a level floor.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

On the control panel, Switch A (see Fig.10) must be in the ‘ON’ ( I ) position in order for the remote control to operate. There are 3 buttons on the remote control. (See Fig.12) To operate correctly the remote must be pointed towards the front of the grate. (See Fig 17).

The remote control functions are as follows:

Press once to turn on Flame effect. This will be indicated by one beep.

Standby This will be indicated by one beep
