Installation Instructions
Before installing this appliance, we recommend that;
1. You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
2. You block off the chimney fl ue.
This procedure is important for the effi cient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss
up the chimney.
Installation.

Retain all packing for possible future use, in the event of moving or returning the appliance to
your supplier.
To install the appliance;
1. Remove the fi replace grate, ashpan etc.
2. The ashbed grate should be stored away for possible future use.
3. Clean the hearth of any ash residue or dust etc.
At the rear of the appliance, two adjustable supports are provided for levelling, where the base of the
fi replace opening is raised above the level of the hearth.
You are now ready to install the electric fi re into your fi replace.
Make sure the unit is switched OFF.
Hold the fi re by the sides of surround and gently manoeuvre into position. Plug the fi re into a
13amp/240 volt outlet. Ensure that the supply cable exits at the front of the fi re, at the right or left
hand corner to suit your supply socket location and is not trapped under the fi re such that it might
cause it to be damaged.

batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fi re, 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 fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This
can happen if the heat outlet was restricted in any way or if the chimney fl ue has not been blocked off
eff ectively. If the cut-out operates, unplug the heater from the socket outlet and allow approximately
10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the heater back on remove any obstruction that
may be restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.
