YOUR FIRE
UNPACKING, ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
& GENERAL SAFETY
GENERAL:
Unpack the fire carefully and retain the packaging for possible future use, for
example in the event of moving or returning the fire to your supplier. Remove any
plastic protection film and transit tape.
The fire incorporates a flame effect that may be enjoyed at any time of the year;
using the flame effect on its own only requires minimal electricity.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Check that the voltage shown on the rating label of your fire is the same as your
dwelling electricity supply which must be AC (alternating current).
The mains cord of the fire has a UK type plug fitted with a 13amp fuse; when
replacing a fuse use a 13amp fuse approved to BS 1362. The fuse cover of a
moulded on plug must be refitted after changing the fuse. Should the fuse cover
become lost, the plug must not be used until the correct replacement fuse cover
is obtained from your service agent.
The wires in the mains supply cord are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
If your fire is fitted with a moulded on mains plug which is not suitable for the
socket outlets in your dwelling, the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one
fitted.
Note: A plug cut off from a flexible cord presents a shock hazard if inserted in a
13 amp socket elsewhere in the dwelling, to avoid this remove the fuse and
dispose of immediately.
If you are fitting an alternative type of plug then the colours of the wires in the
mains cord may not correspond with the identifying markings on the plug
terminals. In this case proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green/Yellow must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured
Green or Green/Yellow. The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to
the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter N or coloured Black. The
wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked by the letter L or coloured Red.
