      appliance.                                             

Installation.
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any 
warning labels carefully).
Retain all packing for possible future use, in the event of 
moving or returning the appliance to your supplier.

Under the appliance there are four adjustable supports 
provided for levelling, where the base of the fi replace opening 
is raised above the level of the hearth. 
You are now ready to install the electric fi re. Make sure the unit 
is switched 

OFF.

Using the correct fi xings for your wall fi x the wall bracket to 
the wall. With two persons hold the fi re by the sides and gently 
manoeuvre into position. Plug the fi re into a 13amp/240 volt 
outlet. Ensure that the supply cable exits at the front of the 
fi re, at the right or left hand corner to suit your supply socket 
location and is not trapped under the fi re such that it might 
become damaged.

Before using the manual controls fi rstly fi ll the water tank 
(See ‘Maintenance’, ‘Filling the water tank’).

Manual Controls.

The Opti-myst Manual controls are located behind the drawer 
front. Slide out the drawer to access the controls. (See Fig. 2 for 
Manual Control lay out)
Switch ‘A’:- Controls the electricity supply to the heater.
Note: This switch must be in the ‘ON’ ( 

I 

) position for the 

appliance to operate, with or without heat.

Switch ‘B’:- Controls the functions of the fi re.

Press   once to turn on fl ame eff ect

. This will be indicated 

by one beep.
Although the main lights operate immediately it will take a 
further 30 seconds before the fl ame eff ect starts.

Press it again to give fl ame eff ect and heat.

 This will be 

indicated by two beeps.

Press it again to return to fl ame eff ect only

.

This will be indicated by one beep.

Press   to put fi re in to standby mode.

This will be indicated by one beep.

Switch ‘C’:- Controls the mist extractor motor.
There are two speeds for the mist extractor motor, low and 
high. This function is required to eliminate concensation on 
the glass. When the unit is switched on the mist extractor 
motor will run at high speed for 1 minute and then will default 
to the low setting.

Thumb Wheel ‘D’:- Controls the mist output.
Turning the wheel upwards will increase the amount of mist 
produced and turning the wheel downwards decreaces the 
amount of mist produced.

Note: Should condendsation appear on the glass, simply turn 
down the mist and switch the mist extractor motor to high 
speed until the condensation has been eliminated.

When the water tank is empty the main lamps will go out. See 
instructions under ‘Maintenance’, ‘Filling the water tank’. When 
this procedure is complete, the main lamps will illuminate but 
it will take approx 30 seconds before the fl ames return.

Remote Control Operation

On the control panel, Switch A (see Fig. 2) 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. 7)

Battery Information.

1.  Unclip the battery cover on the back of the remote control. 

(See Fig. 7)

2.  Install AAA batteries into the remote control.
3.  Replace the battery cover.

Discard leaky batteries.

Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to 
national and local regulations.
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a diff erent 
battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are 
not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fi 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 fl ue has 
not been blocked off  eff ectively. If the cut-out operates, unplug 
the heater from the socket outlet and allow approximately 10 
minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the heater 
back on remove any obstruction that may be restricting the 
heat outlet, then continue normal operation.

Caution:

 In order to avoid hazard due to inadvertent resetting 

of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be powered 
through an external switching device, such as a timer, or 
connected to a switch that is regularly switched on and off  by 
the utility.
This heater is not equipped with a thermostat to control the 
room temperature. 

Tips for using your appliance.

1.  Only pull out the drawer when its time to refi ll the water 

tank or change a lamp, otherwise it may lead to excess 
water in the sump and reduced fl ame eff ect. If this happens 
empty the water from the sump as instructed under 
‘Maintenance’.

2.  With the fl ame setting on minimum the unit will use 

approximately 40ml of water per hour and will last 3 times
