Operating the Fire
This section describes how to activate your fire using either the manual controls or remote control.
MANUAL CONTROLS
The manual controls are located beneath the hinged flap. Open the doors to access the controls. (See Fig.10 for
Manual Control lay out)
Switch ‘A’:- Controls the electricity supply to the Fire.
Note: This switch must be in the ‘ON’ (
I
) position for the Fire to operate either with or without heat.
Switch ‘B’:- Press
once to turn on the flame effect. This will be indicated by an audible beep. Although the main
lights operate immediately it will take a further 30 seconds before the flame effect starts.
Press
again to give flame effect and half heat. This will be indicated by two beeps.
Press
again to give flame effect and full heat. This will be indicated by three beeps.
Press
again to return to flame effect only. This will be indicated by one beep.
Press
to put fire in to standby mode. This will be indicated by one beep.
Control Knob ‘C’:- Controls the Thermostat setting.
Turning the control knob to the left will decrease the temperature setting, turning the control knob
to the right will increase the temperature setting.
Control Knob ‘D’:- Controls the intensity of the flame effect.
Turning the control knob to the left increases the flame effect, turning the control knob to the right will
decrease the flame effect.
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
Ensure the fire is plugged in and switch it on to the full heat setting. Turn the Control Knob ‘C’ fully to the right (max
temperature setting) to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature has reached the desired level, turn
the thermostat knob back slowly until you hear the thermostat just click off. The heater will then maintain the room
temperature at the chosen level.
Note: Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room
temperature being higher then the thermostat setting
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 flue has not been blocked off effectively.. 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.
Caution:
In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a switch that is regularly switched
on and off by the utility. Depending on room temperature and humidity upon initial start up there may be some
condensation on the inside of the stove. This can be overcome by turning the flame control knob down and leaving the
door of the stove slightly ajar, until the glass warms up.
GETTING THE DESIRED FLAME EFFECT
1. The flame control knob ‘D’ (Fig.10) may be turned up or down to give a more realistic effect.
2. Generally the flames appear more realistic when the flame control is turned down.
3. Give the flame generator time to react to changes you may make.
4. The fire will use less water if the flame effect is set to a lower level.

pinched between the nozzle and the sump, place the cable in the slot in the wall of the sump.
8. Replace the Sump Nozzle and secure it by turning the two red tabs by 90 degrees (Fig 6)
Filling the Water Tank
9. Place Water Tank in sink and remove cap (turn anti-clockwise to open) (Fig 7)
10. Fill Water Tank with
filtered tap water only
. This is necessary to prolong the life of the flame and smoke
producing unit. The water should be filtered through a conventional domestic water filter unit and the filter should be
replaced regularly. Distilled water must
not
be used.
11. Screw the cap back on –
do not overtighten
.
12. Place the Water Tank in the Sump, with the tank cap facing down and the flat side of the tank facing outward (Fig 8)
Assembling the fire
13. Place the Fuelbed on top of the Water Tank and Mist Nozzle (Fig 9)
