Operating the Stove

This section describes how to activate your Stove using either the remote control or manual controls.
The mains switch (

Fig. 3a

) controls the electricity supply to the Stove.

Note: The mains switch must be in the on ( 

I 

) position for the Stove to operate either with or without heat.

The switch is located on the front panel behind the door. Open the door to access the switch - see 

Fig. 3

. 

When activated the logbed will light up and after approximately 7 seconds the flame picture will appear.

The user may notice a blank screen for approximately 2-3 seconds, every 30 minutes. This is normal and should not be 

a cause for concern.

Remote Control :

To activate the remote control, remove the battery clear, plastic strip, which is used to ensure the remote is fully charged 

before use - see

 Fig. 2.

To operate, aim the remote control to the front of the appliance. Press the standby button ( ) on the remote control to 

leave the 

Stove in standby mode - indicted by a red light. Press the standby button to activate flame effect and /or heat.

The a

udio volume (fire sound) may be adjusted by pressing the volume control buttons : 

 volume down and   volume up. 

Logbed Ambience :

The Stove has an LED that brightens the logbed. For your preference, the brightness can be adjusted by pressing   

button to brighten and the 

 button to dim/turn off the LED. An audio ‘beep’ can be heard with each press and will stop 

when maximum or minimum is reached.

Heating :

To activate the heating, (ensure stove is not in standby mode) press the heat on button ( ) once for half heat (900W) - 

indicated by 2 audio ‘beeps’. For full heat (1800W) press again - indicated by 3 audio ‘beeps’. Eeach press of this button 

activates half heat or full heat - 2 audio ‘beeps’ for half heat and 3 audio ‘beeps’ for full heat.
To turn the heat off press the heat off button (

) - indicated by one audio ‘beep’. (The fan continues to run for approximately 

10 seconds).
Electronic Thermostat :

The heating is controlled by the electronic thermostat. The default setting is ‘22’ - see 

Fig. 3b

. When the heat is activated, 

the heating will turn off, when the thermostat senses the temperature is at ‘22’. The heating will be activated again, 

when the thermostat senses that the temperature is less than ‘22’. This (room temperature) figure can be changed by 

pressing the temperature down button ( ) to reduce the room temperature (min 15) or the temperature up button ( ) 

to increase the room temperature (max 30). An audio ‘beep’ can be heard with each press and will stop when maximum 

or minimum is reached.
Note : the heating will only operate when the mains switch (

Fig. 3a

) is in the on (I) position and the room temperature is 

lower than the electronic set temperature.

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.

Connect the power cable to the power connector at the back of the fire. Place the stove against the wall(ensuring a 

60mm gap, see 

*

 Fig. 1). Connect the plug to mains supply.

Before switching on, please read the safety warnings and operating instructions

Electrical Connection

Installation

Before installing this appliance in an existing chimney, we recommend that;

You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.

You block off the chimney flue. 

This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the 

chimney.

Positioning the Stove :
The Opti-V Stove uses a

n illusionary reflection technique and is designed to work best when ambient light levels are low. 

There is an LED above the Logs which is controlled by a dimmer, that allows the brightness of the logs to be adjusted, 

to create the perfect flame effect to suit your environment or in areas where the ambient light levels are normal.
A minimum gap of 60mm, at the back of the product (see 

*

 Fig.1), should be maintained in order for the electronic 

thermostat to have optimum effect.
