• 

This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless catalytic flame effect gas fire.  It provides radiant and convected warmth both effi-

ciently and safely utilising the latest type of catalytic converter and burner technology.  

• 

The appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic converter cleans the flue products to provide a com-

plete combustion system, which is intrinsically safe. It is designed to operate on Natural Gas and is factory set for operation on
the gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data plate.

• 

The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System). It must not be adjusted or put out

of operation. If replaced then manufacturer’s original parts must be used.

• 

This appliance must be installed by a GAS SAFE registered person to ensure that the size of the room in which the appliance

is to be installed is sufficient and the ventilation provision for that room is sufficient for the appliance. Details of how to deter-
mine the suitable room size is given in section 3.1 of these instructions and details of how to determine suitable ventilation are
given in section 4.1. 

• 

In the event of gas leakage from the appliance, the gas supply must be turned off at the nearest isolating valve.

• 

The appliance must be installed in accordance with the following:

• 

Failure to comply with the above could lead to prosecution and deem the manufacturer’s warranty invalid.

• 

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and used only in a sufficiently ventilated space. The appli-

ance is designed to fit various types of situations as described in sections 3.0 and 4.0. The appliance must be installed in a cor-
rectly sized room (see section 3.1), and the correct purpose provided ventilation must be provided (see section 4.1).

• 

On no account should the appliance inlet or outlet openings be blocked or obstructed in any way (see figure 1). 

Do not

place

objects on top of the appliance. 

Do

make sure the appliance is installed on a flat wall.

• 

It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents.  These currents move heat

to wall surfaces next to the heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall cov-
erings or operating the heater where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke, can-
dle smoke etc.) exist, may cause the walls to become discoloured.

• 

This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a

room without some form of background heating present. If the appliance is used in a room as
the sole source of heat, then condensation may occur on colder surfaces within the room.

• 

On first light up of a new appliance, burning off of high temperature paint and lubri-

cants may occur for the first few hours of operation. During this period some smoke
may be emitted from the outlet grille, this should be no cause for concern. Accordingly,
the room should be well ventilated with all windows and doors open during this peri-
od. During this period the appliance may cause smoke alarms to sound. If this happens,
reset the alarms, but do not remove the batteries. 

• WARNING: 

Due to the nature of this product the area around the top of the appli-

ance (i.e. the grille) gets very hot. Care should be taken when operating the appliance.
The manufacturer of this appliance considers all surfaces as working surfaces with the
exception of the control knob. The guard (glass front) is to prevent risk of fire or injury
from burns and no part of it should be permanently removed. 

It Does Not Give Full Protection For Young Children Or

The Infirm. 

Where young children, pets, the elderly or infirm are concerned, a suitable fireguard should be used.

• 

Consult ALL instructions before installation and use of this appliance.  This appliance is free from any asbestos material.
