This appliance must only be connected to a 230/240 Volts AC 50Hz supply. Before connecting the fire, check that the supply voltage is the same as stated on the fire. This appliance must only be used on an AC supply, fuse rating 13Amp.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with a standard UK supply, these being:

• GREEN/YELLOW – EARTH
• BLUE - NEUTRAL

Installation Requirements

Inset Models:

This product has been designed to be installed into a standard opening of 420mm (W) x 570mm (H) x 80mm (D).

If the product is to be installed into an open chimney or flue, it is important that the chimney/flue is blocked off to prevent any up/down draughts and falling debris which could restrict and alter the airflow to the product.

It is also important to ensure that the product has a minimum clearance around it of 15mm, this is to ensure that the product can circulate the required airflow for the heater unit.

The product should never be sealed into an opening with the use of silicones or adhesives, as this can also alter the airflow and hinder any further servicing of the product.

Please refer to the technical specification table for further information, with reference to measurements.

(Heater unit cut-out)

(This is a safety feature, to safeguard against further damage to the product).

If the airflow is restricted, the heater will automatically turn off. This can occur due to incorrect installation or obstruction.

To reset the heater function:

• Isolate from the mains power supply.
• Leave product to cool.
• After a suitable cooling down period, remove the obstruction (if obstructed) and check installation.
• After 10 minutes, the thermo switch (cut-out) in the heater will reset.

Please note that both the effect fan and heater fan omit a low decibel noise, both of which are normal operating characteristics.
