INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
To ensure the appliance is positively located into position, it is necessary to
secure it in place using one of the following methods, either with the cable fix-
ing kit, or the double-sided neoprene strips included in the instruction pack.
Freestanding fires should use the neoprene strip method only.
Fixing by Neoprene Strips
In normal installation circumstances, this method of fixing is satisfactory for
use with marble, stone, laminate, or any smooth faced mounting surface. Peel
off the adhesive backing from one side of each strip and apply to the periph-
ery of the rear of the appliance frame, as shown in the Fig.1. Ensure that the
strips are not applied any closer than 5mm (1/4”) from the edge of the frame.
Tear off any excess lengths of strip to form a neat border around the frame.
Before finally fitting the appliance into its location, remove the remaining
strips of adhesive backing, ensure that the mains cable and plug are properly
routed, locate the fire into the opening and press firmly around the edge of
the frame to allow the strips to adhere to the back panel of the surround.
Fixing by Cable Fixing Kit
This method of securing is normally necessary when the mounting surface is
of a rough texture, i.e. stone or brick.
Firstly mark and drill a suitably sized hole in the centre of the proposed appli-
ance location, 250mm up from the hearth surface, or floor if no hearth is to
be used. Insert the rawlplug into the hole, then screw in the eyebolt.
Withdraw the fuel bed and then the transparent flame effect screen by remov-
ing the two screen clamps, which are each held in place by two screws, one at
the base the other at the top in to the hood. Insert the cable through the cen-
tral hole in the back of the appliance (Fig.2), through the eyebolt and through
the hole in the lower rear of the appliance. The screen can now be refitted
with the textured side facing forward and secured under the screen clamps
(reversing the previously described method), adjust the screens height to suit
the fuel beds ‘legs.’ Remove the light bulb from its mounting by pushing it in
and twisting. Thread the cable through the small hole in the front panel.
Locate the appliance into its opening and pull the cable taught. Slide on the
screwed nipple and keeping the cable reasonably taught, tighten the nipple to
secure (Fig.2). Replace the light bulb. The remainder of the cable may be
coiled up and tucked behind the front when fitted, or fed back into the appli-
ance through the hole and neatly coiled in the base, ensuring it does not come
in to contact with any part of the flame effect motor. Fit the fuel bed and dec-
orative front frame.
NOTE: When using this cable fixing method, the additional depth of the
eyebolt must be taken into account. Therefore, using this method will
increase the minimum mounting depth of the appliance by 20mm.
FITTING THE DECORATIVE FRAME/FRET
Remove the decorative frame from its packaging, and remove any protective
film coverings. The frame is attached to the appliance with the supplied mag-
nets equally spaced around the frame assembly.
Carefully offer the frame up to the appliance, ensuring that the top part of the
frame aperture sits squarely above and at both sides.
With the frame in the correct location it should sit snugly to all parts of the
appliance, and the magnets will retain it in this position.
Finally ensure that the Fret/ashpan is positioned as shown in Fig 3 opposite.
Note: Fig 3 shown with appliance hearth mounted. Hearth not supplied with
appliance.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Check that the fan outlet is not covered or obstructed in any way and ensure the power to the fire is switched on.
The appliance is controlled using four switches, mounted under the lift up hood. The left switch (OI) controls the main
power to the fire and switches on the fuel effect, which can be used independently of heat for visual effect only. The sec-
ond switch (*) operates the fan blower without heat, which can be used in the summer for cool air circulation. The switch
marked with a single bar (I) operates the fan heater on the LOW setting (1kW). The switch marked with two bars (II) oper-
ates the fan heater on the HIGH setting (2kW).
To operate the fire, the left switch must be turned on first, followed by the second switch to start the blower, if required.
To obtain heat from the appliance, the
I
switch must then be operated for LOW (1kW) of heat, followed by the
II
switch
for the HIGH setting (2kW). It is not possible to obtain heat from the appliance without first switching on the main power
switch (OI) and the fan blower switch (*) in conjunction with either the LOW (
I
) or both the LOW and HIGH (
II
) switches.
