INSTALLATION

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT

BE USED IN A BATHROOM.

WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEATER

IN THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS OF

A BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING

POOL.

WARNING - THIS HEATER MUST NOT BE

LOCATED IMMEDIATELY BELOW A

FIXED SOCKET OUTLET.

WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEATER

WITH A PROGRAMMER, TIMER OR ANY

DEVICE THAT SWITCHES THE HEATER

ON AUTOMATICALLY, SINCE A FIRE

RISK EXISTS IF THE HEATER IS

COVERED OR POSITIONED

INCORRECTLY.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

The feet and necessary fixings are packed with

the heater.

Care should be taken whilst assembling the

feet so as not to damage the painted surface

of the heater.

Note: The high temperature paint acquires

durability by being “cured” in initial use.

During this process the heater will give off

fumes which are non-toxic, but which certain

persons may find an unpleasant or irritant

effect. Ensure that the area is well ventilated

during this time.

• Do not turn the heater upside down

• Lay the heater gently on it’s back.

• The feet are positioned in each corner

of the heater and fixed using the

washers and screws provided.

• Using a No. 2 pozidrive screw-driver

tighten the screws.

POSITIONING YOUR HEATER

Always ensure that the heater is stood on a

firm, level base near to, but not directly

beneath a suitable mains supply socket.

Ensure that curtains and furniture are not

positioned close to the chosen position, as this

would create a potential fire hazard.

The doors of this heater are made from cast

iron and are therefore quite heavy. When

moving into position please take this into

account.

SAFETY WARNINGS

FOLLOW these instructions carefully.

Never cover or obstruct in any way the heat

slots at the back of the heater.

The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT

COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of

overheating that exists if the heater is acci-

dentally covered.

The casing of this heater is designed to get

HOT. Care should be taken not to touch the

fire during operation.

It is recommended that a fire guard is provided

when the room is used by elderly, infirm or

young persons.

all the switches are in the OFF position.

(A) (B) (C)

The first switch ‘A (as indicated in the diagram

above), switches on the fire and operates the

flame effect. If you only require the flame

effect with no heat, ensure switch ‘B’ is in the

top position and switch ‘C’ is in the top

position.

For 1kW setting

• Switch (B) down to 1kW, leave ‘C’ set to top

position.

For 2kW setting

• Leave ‘B’ set at 1kW and switch ‘C’ to 2kW.

Note: Switches ‘B’ and ‘C’ will not operate

without switch ‘A’ being on.

BULB REPLACEMENT

Bulbs have a limited lifespan and will require

replacing as they expire.

• Fully open the fire doors.

• Carefully lift out the coal ember bed, to reveal the

light fittings.

• Remove the faulty light bulb by unscrewing it.

• Replace with a 15W SES Pygmy Lamp.

• Replace the coal ember bed taking care not to

damage it.

CARE

Do not use water, detergents, abrasive cleaning

powder or polish of any kind on the body of the

heater.

Lightly brush with a medium dry brush.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Heat or Light

• Check heater is plugged in and switched on at the

mains.

• Check the switches are correctly set.

• Check the 13A fuse in the plug. Replace if

necessary.

Heat but no Light in Coal Bed

• Replace light bulb - see instructions overleaf.

Light but no Heat

• The thermostatic cut-out has operated. This will

re-set after a short period of time.

• Ensure the air supply and venting are not

restricted.

• If still blowing cold air, unplug the heater and

phone our helpline.

No Flame-effect

• Unplug the heater and phone our helpline.

Bulbs do not last very long

• If the bulbs keep blowing there is not a fault with

the fire. It is not possible to predict the life of a

lamp, some burn out more quickly than others.

Noise from the fans

• Unfortunately there is always some noise from the

fans, we have done our utmost to reduce this but

they will never be completely silent.
