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.
Do not leave young children or the infirm
unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater.
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.
General
Unpack the heater carefully and retain the packaging for pos-
sible future use, in the event of moving or returning the fire to
your supplier. Loose coals are packed separately within the
carton. When the heater is assembled the coals are placed
on top of the fuel bed. ‘The coals may be removed and peb-
bles added in their place up to a maximum weight of 6kg. The
pebbles are supplied with the product’.
The heater is designed for use inset into a 407mm (16") or
457mm (18") wide by 559mm (22") high fireplace opening
see also section “Installation in a fire place opening”.
A 2kw fan heater discreetly positioned in the canopy of the
fire provides heating in cold weather. Switching allows half or
full heat.
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 the fan which
operates the flame effect. This is normal and should not
be a cause for concern.
