Thermal safety cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen
if the heat outlet is restricted in any way. If the cut-out operates, unplug the fi re from the socket outlet and allow
approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the fi re back on remove any obstruction that may be
restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.
Tips for using your appliance.
1. Only pull out the drawer when its time to refi ll the water tank or change a lamp, otherwise it may lead to excess
water in the sump and reduced fl ame effect. If this happens empty the water from the sump as instructed under
'Maintenance'.
2. With the fl ame setting on minimum the unit will use approximately 40ml of water per hour and will last 3 times as
long than when it is at maximum fl ame setting.
3. Do not tilt or move the fi re while there is water in the tank or sump.
4. Make sure that the fi re is on a level fl oor.
5. The fl ame control knob 'C' (Fig.2) may be turned up or down to give a more realistic effect.
6. Sometimes the fl ames appear more real when the fl ame control knob is turned down.
7. Give the fl ame generator some time to react to changes you may make on the fl ame control knob.
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE
Changing lamps.
If a large amount of the smoke appears grey or colourless it may be that one or more lamps have failed.
You can check for lamp failure as follows.
1. Leaving the fl ame effect on, open the drawer fully, gently pull the drawer fully out by the tab. (See Fig.3)
2. View the lamps from a distance in front of the fi re and observe which lamp needs to be changed.
3. Put Switch 'A' in the 'OFF' position, and unplug the fi re from the mains.
4. Leave the appliance for 20 minutes to allow the lamps to cool down before removing them.
5. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and place in a sink.
6. Remove the sump as described in the Cleaning Section.
7. Remove the defective lamp, by gently lifting vertically and disengaging the pins from the lamp holder, (See Fig.4
and 5). Replace with an original, 12V, 45W, Gu5.3 base, 8º beam angle, coloured lamp. Purchase the lamps from your
local supplier.
8. Carefully insert the two pins of the new lamp into the two holes in the lamp holder. Push fi rmly in place. (See Fig.4
and 5).
9. Replace the sump and water tank and carefully close the drawer.
10. Switch on.
Filling the water tank.
When the water tank is empty, fl ame and smoke effect shuts off, and you will hear 2 audible 'beeps'. Follow these
steps to refi ll:
1. Press Switch 'A' to (0). (See Fig.2)
2. Pull out the drawer as far as possible by the tab. (See Fig.3)
3. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards and outwards.
4. Place the water tank in sink and remove cap, Anti-clockwise to open. (See Fig.6)
5. Fill tank with tap water with a maximum hardness of 10Dh only. This is necessary to prolong the life of the fl ame
and smoke producing unit.
In situations with a higher water hardness, the water should be fi ltered (for example with a Maxtra fi lter). Do not use
a decalcifi er.
6. Screw the cap back on, do not overtighten.
7. Return the tank to the sump, with the tank cap facing down and the fl at side of the tank facing outward.
8. Press Switch 'B' once to turn on fl ame effect. (See manual control section and Fig.2).
9. Press Switch 'A' to 'ON' ( I ) position. (See Fig.2)
10. Gently push the drawer back in as far as it will go.
Cleaning.
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING THE Fire.
We recommend cleaning the following components once every 2 weeks, particularly in hard water areas:-
Water Tank, Sump and Seal, Sump lid, Tank cap and seal, Air fi lter.
For general cleaning use a soft clean duster – never use abrasive cleaners. To remove any accumulation of dust or
fl uff the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner should occasionally be used to clean the outlet grille of the fan fi re.
