Installation Instructions

The Bingham can be installed in a variety of confi gurations 
using the components supplied; fully recessed with a glass 
front and metal sides, partially recessed with a glass front and 
one side of glass and one of metal, or partially recessed with 
a glass front and two glass sides. In all cases the appliance will 
have to be built into a suitable structure which maintains a 
minimum clearance of 300mm between the top of the fi re and 
any projecting shelf.
The metal sides of the Bingham can be removed as necessary 
using the suction cups supplied (see Fig 3a). Fix the cups to 
the front glass and lift the glass upwards and then downwards 
and away from the product. Remove the rubber cord on the 
inside of the side glass at the bottom and the top. Carefully 
slide the metal plate and the side glass out together (see Fig 
3b). Separate the side glass from the metal plate and slide the 
glass back into place. Use the thicker rubber cord that can 
be found in the packet with the instruction leafl et to fi x the 
side glass in place and then replace the front glass using the 
suction cups. Use the cups to adjust the position of the front 
and side glass as necessary.

Important Safety Advice:
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions 
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fi re, 
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 fi xed 
socket outlet or connection box.
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.
Do not use this heater in series with a thermal control, 
a program controller, a timer or any other device that 
switches on the heat automatically, since a fi re risk exists 
when the heater is accidentally covered or displaced.
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 the 
manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualifi ed 
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Keep the supply cord away from the front of the heater.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the 
heater. Do not place material or garments on the heater, 
or obstruct the air circulation around the heater.

The heater carries the Warning symbol indicating 
that it must not be covered.

General.
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for 
possible future use, in the event of moving or returning 
the fi re to your supplier. The Remote Control, batteries 
and lamps are packed separately in the carton.
The fi re incorporates a fl ame  eff ect, which can be used 
with or without heating, so that the comforting eff ect may 
be enjoyed at any time of the year. Using the fl ame eff ect 
on its own only requires little electricity.

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 fl ame eff ect. This is normal and should 
not be a cause for concern.
