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 eff ect. 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 eff ect.
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

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 eff ect on, open the drawers 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, 50W, Gu5.3 base, 8º beam angle,
coloured lamp. Purchase the lamps from your 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

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.
Water tank
1. Remove water tank, as described earlier, put into sink and
empty water.
2. Using the supplied brush gently rub the inside surfaces of
the cap paying particular attention to the rubber ring in the
outer groove and the centre rubber seal.

the cap and shake well, rinse out until all traces of washing up
liquid are gone.
4. Refi ll with tap water with a maximum hardness of 10 dH
only, replace the cap, do not overtighten.
5. Do not use a decalcifi er when cleaning the appliance, this
may shorten the lifetime of the smoke unit.
