Important Safety Advice
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and injury to persons, including the following:
If the appliance is damaged, check with the supplier before
installation and operation.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not use in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower
or swimming pool.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet
or connection box.
Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or garments on
the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the heater,
for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause
overheating and a fire risk.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or other
persons without assistance or supervision if their physical,
sensory or mental capabilities prevent them from using it safely.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Caution: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting
of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied
through an external switching device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by
the utility.
Ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible material
are positioned no closer than 1 metre from the heater.
In the event of a fault unplug the heater.
Unplug the heater when not required for long periods.
Although this heater complies with safety standards, we do
not recommend its use on deep pile carpets or on long hair
type of rugs.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is
accessible.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by a special
cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
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. Loose
coals (and or pebbles) are packed separately within the carton. When
the heater is assembled the coals (or pebbles) are placed on top of
the fuel bed.
The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or 457mm
(18") wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening see also section
‘Installation in a Fireplace Opening’.
A 2kW fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the fire provides
heating in cold weather. Switching allows half or full heat.
A minimum distance of 1 metre (39") must be maintained between the
front of the heater and any surrounding furniture, overhanging curtains
or other obstructions.
To reduce heat loss and to prevent any chimney up draught affecting
the operation of your inset fire we recommend that the chimney flue is
sealed off.
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.
Electrical
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 warnings and operating
instructions.
Surround Spacer
In the event that your fireplace is not deep enough for your electric
fire, all models have been supplied with a spacer which allows the fire
to be freestanding.
If a plastic spacer is not already fixed to your fire, please follow the
steps in Fig. 1 - 3 below to assemble your spacer. See Fig. 4 to dis-
assemble this spacer assembly.
If a metal spacer is already fixed to your fire and is not required, remove
the four screws to allow the fire to be fully inset.
Installation in a Fireplace Opening
At the rear of the fire, two adjustable feet are provided for levelling the
fire where the base of the fireplace opening is raised above the level
of the hearth.
Adjust the foot by rotating it to the required position.
The surround spacer may be removed (four screws) to allow the fire to
be fully inset. The minimum opening size required for the fire to be
fully inset is 392mm wide, 550mm high and 70mm deep.
Alternatively the surround spacer may be left on and positioned
freestanding against a wall.
To ensure the appliance stability, the fire is supplied with a hook and
rawl plug. The rawl plug supplied is suitable for use in block walls
(special fasteners required on stud walls).
Spacer attached - Fig. 5a: In the event that the fire is to be positioned
against a wall with the surround spacer attached, the fixing position of
the hook is indicated by ‘X’ in Fig. 5a. When the hook is securely
fastened, centre the fire to the hook. Lift the fire up and over the hook
(see ‘z’ in Fig. 5c) ensuring that the surround spacer (see ‘w’ in Fig.
5c) engages the hook.
No Spacer attached - Fig. 5b: In the event that the fire is to be
positioned fully inset without the surround spacer, the fixing position of
the hook is indicated by ‘Y’ (the hook can be positioned on either side
of the fire) in Fig. 5b. When the hook is securely fastened, position
the top slot on the fire (see Fig. 5b) alongside the hook, lift the fire up
and over the hook so that the top slot on the fire engages the hook.
Operation
The unique flame effect may be enjoyed whether or not the heating
elements are in operation.
Controls
The heater controls are located on the canopy.
(On some models, raise the canopy cover to access the controls).
Three switches provide a choice of heat settings.
(On some models, an adjustable thermostat is fitted, enabling the
temperature to be controlled by adjusting the setting accordingly).
A switch is in the ON position when the red indicator mark on the
switch is visible.
Switch 1 - Controls the electricity supply to the heater and the
flame effect.
Note: This switch must be in the ON position for the heater to operate.
Switch 2 - Provides 1kw heat output.
Switch 3 - Provides 2kw heat output with switch 2.
Setting the Thermostat (if supplied)
Plug in and set all switches to ON. 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 just 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.

Maintenance
WARNING – BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY MAINTENANCE OR
CLEANING, REMOVE PLUG OR DISCONNECT FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Lamp Replacement
The lamp(s) are located beneath the fuel effect. To gain access to the
lamp(s), the fuel effect must first be removed.
Remove the coal/pebbles and place in a container.
Depending on the model, the fuel effect is removed in one of four ways:
(a) On some models the grate/fuel effect assembly is secured by two
screws (on left and right hand side on front of grate) which must be
removed. Carefully lift the grate / fuel effect assembly clear, and
set aside.
(b) On some models simply lift the fuel effect clear and set aside.
(c) On other models first pull the fuel effect forwards to release from
under the glass before lifting out and setting aside.
(d) On models with plastic grates simply lift the grate / fuel effect clear
and set aside.
Replace the defective lamp with a 240V - 60W E14 SES candle lamp.
Replace the grate / fuel effect, secure with screws (where applicable)
and add coal/pebbles.
Safety cut-out
For your safety, this appliance has been fitted with a thermal cut-out. In
the event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heat off
automatically.
To bring the heat back into operation, remove the cause of the
overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater
for up to 10 minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the
heater.
Cleaning
Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it to cool.
The surfaces of the heater should be given an occasional wipe over
with a dry soft cloth.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish on the metal
body of the heater.
The glass screen should be cleaned carefully with a chamois leather.
DO NOT use proprietary cleaners.
To remove any accumulation of dust or fluff the soft brush attachment of
a vacuum cleaner should occasionally be used to clean the outlet grille
of the fan heater located under the canopy.
To clean the fuel effect, remove the coal/pebbles and wash in warm
water. The plastic tray should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. When
dry replace the coal/pebbles and arrange for best effect.
