When the water tank is empty the main lamps go out. See instructions
under ‘Maintenance’, ‘Filling the water tank’. When this procedure is
complete, the main lamps will illuminate but it will take 30 seconds
before the fl ames return.
Remote Control Operation
On the control panel, Switch A (see Fig.2) must be in the ‘ON’
( I )

remote control. (See Fig.7)
To operate correctly the remote must be pointed towards the front em-
ber bed.
The remote control functions are as follows:
Press once to turn on ember bed only.
This will be indicated by one beep.
Press once to turn on Half heat and ember bed.
This will be indicated by two beeps.

Battery Information.
1. Unclip the battery cover on the back of the remote control. (See Fig.7)
2. Install AAA batteries into the remote control.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Discard leaky batteries
.
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to provincial and
local regulations.Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a diff erent
battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at
the same time, if disposed of in a fi replace, 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 is restricted
in any way. If the cut-out operates, unplug the fi replace from the socket
outlet and allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before
switching the fi replace 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 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 replace while there is water in the tank or
sump.
4. Make sure that the fi replace 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
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 eff ect 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 replace and observe
which lamp needs to be changed.
3. Put Switch ‘A’ in the ‘OFF’ position, and unplug the fi replace 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 a Mystic
original, 12V, 50W, 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).

5. Fill tank with
fi ltered tap water with a maximum hardness of 10
dH 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.

Cleaning.
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING THE FIREPLACE
.
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 replace.
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.
3. Put a small quantity of washing up liquid into the tank, refi t 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.
Sump
1. Press Switch ‘A’ to the ‘OFF’
(0)
position
2. Gently pull the drawer out as far as possible. (See Fig.3)
3. Remove the water tank by lifting upwards.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector, located on the left side of the
sump, by fi rst loosening the two retaining screws and gently withdrawing
the connector. (See Fig.8)
5. Release the lower sump locking tabs by turning 90º, this allows the
sump to be lifted completely from its location. (See Fig.9)
6. Gently lift up the sump assembly, taking care to keep level so as not to
spill any water. Sit the assembly in the sink. (See Fig.10)
7. Release the two upper sump locking tabs by turning 90º, then lift off
