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.
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.
Wall fixing
- see
Fig. 1
The appliance should be securely fixed to the wall using the wall plug and screw
supplied for block walls.
Note - for studded walls special fasteners are required, see diagram for recommended
position of fixing screws.
Recessed Installation
Please note that this appliance can also be wall-mounted so that it is recessed. This
can be installed in a large fireplace opening or a purpose built wall. See Table 1 for
size of recess required and hole fixing dimensions.
This fireplace insert does NOT require venting.
In order to ensure its future safety in use, it is essential that this fire is securely
fixed to the wall.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FIXING DEVICE CHOSEN IS APPROPRIATE TO THE
WALL MATERIAL TO WHICH THE FIRE IS BEING FIXED. SOME MODERN
INTERNAL BUILDING MATERIALS ARE VERY LOW DENSITY BLOCK AND
REQUIRE SPECIALIZED FIXING DEVICES TO PROVIDE A SAFE, SECURE
INSTALLATION.
The installation of this fire should be carried out by a competent person. If in doubt
please consult your local builder. This section provides step by step instructions for
selecting a location and preparing the site to install the fireplace into the following:
Existing Fireplace
1. Make sure that the fire is located on a flat surface.
2. Seal all draughts and vents to prevent chimney debris from falling onto the
Fireplace Insert. Do not install into an existing fireplace that is prone to dampness.
3. Remove the front/trim by following the steps as outlined above.
4. Locate the 4 fixing holes, position the fire accordingly, and firmly fix the appliance
to the wall using the appropriate screws.
5. Replace the front/trim.
New Support Structure Construction
When planning where to position your purpose built support structure the following
steps must be observed:
1. Place the fire in the desired location to see how it will look in the room.
2. Mark the desired location for the new support structure in the room and store the
fire in a safe, dry and dust free location.
3. Using timber studs to support the fire, devise and construct a suitable means of
supporting the product within the wall partition and provide electrical power for the
fire to be HARD wired. For recommended sizes of height, width and depth of
opening for recess and hole fixing dimensions for each model:
4. Remove the front/trim by following the steps as outlined above.
5. Locate the 4 fixing holes, position the fire accordingly, and firmly fix using the
appropriate screws.
6. Replace the front/trim.
NOTE: The appliance should be HARD wired to an electrical power outlet when placed
in a recessed installation. Please consult a qualified electrician for appropriate wiring
requirements.
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.
Thermostat (T)
- see
Fig. 2
In order to maintain a certain room temperature, set the controller to ‘max.’. Operate
the appliance at full power until the required room temperature is reached. Set back
the thermostatic controller until the appliance switches off with an audible “click”. This
temperature will be kept almost constant by the thermostatic control switching on and
off automatically. Please note that the appliance can only be switched on when the
thermostat setting is higher than the room temperature.
Remote control

incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fire,
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 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.
