IMPORTANT: THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

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.
The fire incorporates a flame 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 flame effect on its own only requires little electricity.
These models are designed to be free standing and are normally positioned
against a wall.
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 connection

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.

Controls 

- 

see

 Fig. 2

Three switches provide a choice of heat settings. A switch is in the ON
position when the side with the markings on (i.e. 

I

, 

I

, or 

II

) is pushed in.

Thermal Safety Cut-out

A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the heater to prevent damage
due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet was restricted in any
way. The heater will switch on once the obstruction has been removed and
the heater has cooled. If the cut-out continues to operate intermittently, the
heater should be switched off and a service agent contacted.

The glass viewing screen should be cleaned carefully with a soft cloth. DO
NOT use proprietary glass 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.

After Sales Service

Should you require after sales service or should you need to purchase any
spares, please contact the retailer from whom the appliance was purchased
or contact the service number relevant to your country on the warranty card.

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.
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 fire 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 qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
Keep the supply cord away from the front of the heater.
