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.
