mportant 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.
This heater carries a Warning ‘DO NOT COVER THE
HEATER’ to alert the user to the risk of overheating that
exists if the heater is accidentally covered.
The guard on this appliance conforms to the
requirements of BS 1945 (1971) and satisfies the heating
appliances (fireguards) regulations 1973. The guard is
to prevent the risk of fire or injury from burns, and no
part of it should be permanently removed.
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.
Introduction
Unpack the heater carefully and retain all packaging for future
use.
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base
near to, but not directly beneath, a suitable mains supply
socket.
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.
In the event of replacing the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13
amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS1362 must be used.
Using the heater
Before switching on remove the fuel effect (two screws - see
Fig. 1
) and check that the lamp and flicker rotor are positioned
correctly.
The flicker rotor should sit horizontal on its pin and spin freely
without fouling its mounting brackets. If necessary, adjust
the bracket by bending slightly.
Refit the fuel effect by inserting the front edge first, then secure
with the screws. Ensure that all packing items are removed
(read any warning labels carefully) and that the radiant
elements and fuel effect are positioned correctly, otherwise
damage may occur.
Operation
When you are certain that you have completed the installation,
plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
The fuel effect will light.
The flicker rotor will begin to rotate after a minute or so.
