DECORATIVE TRIMS
1
Place one of the four magnets in each corner of the front frame of the fire.
2
When using a brass trim, the protective plastic coating should be peeled off. Take care
not to touch the trim as finger prints will stain the brass.
3
Place the trim in place. The magnets will ensure it is held in position.
THE ELECTRONIC FAN CONTROLLER
The fan unit is fitted with an electronic control unit that monitors the behaviour of the
fan during the start up procedure and in the event of high gusts of wind. When the fan
is switched on the controller will set it to run at high speed until the air pressure switch
senses a satisfactory amount of airflow. Once the airflow has been proved the fan will
slow down to its operating speed. If a strong gust of wind causes the pressure switch to
return to the 'no air'
position, the controller will switch over to the high speed
setting to overcome the gust. The pressure switch will then switch back and the
controller will return the fan to its operating speed. In the event of the gust of wind
being more persistent, the controller will maintain the fan at high speed for
approximately 6 seconds. If the pressure switch has not sensed a return of airflow in
this time the controller will shut down the whole system. In this event the fire will go out
and will only relight if the ON switch on the switch panel is pressed.
When first
switched on the fan may 'pulse' between high and low operating speed settings.
This is normal providing the fan runs at a steady speed after 5 - 10 minutes of use
with the fire alight.
COLD WEATHER PROBLEMS
In freezing conditions the fire maybe very slow to light. After switching the fan
on there may be a delay of between five and ten minutes before the fire will light.
In these conditions the fan will turn quite sluggishly until the fan motor has
warmed, and increased speed sufficiently to generate enough airflow to activate
the pressure switch. Leaving the pilot alight may allow a small amount of heat to
pass to the fan, which will help to shorten the warm up period. If the fire still
refuses to light contact your supplier or Verine Ltd (contact details are elsewhere
in this leaflet).
