[. . . ] If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead and an appropriate one fitted as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse the circuit must be protected by a 15 amp fuse. [. . . ] Sufficient mains lead must be available to allow the fire to be moved for access when servicing. Should you wish to connect the fire to a fused spur, this must be carried out by a competent electrician in accordance with the IEE wiring regulations. Where the inset fire is being used in an existing chimney, it is important that the chimney is blocked off to prevent airflow problems within the fire. Where a chimney is not blocked off sufficiently the heater may cut out and the flame effect stop, or work poorly.
OPERATING THE FIRE
Controls The on/off push button switch is located on the top right hand side of the fire. Pushed in, it will illuminate the fire with no heat, so that you may enjoy the flame effect all year round. Pushed again the switch will return to its outer position and turn the fire off. To use the heating element (the heater element is under the hood), press the button marked with one red bar. Then, once the required room temperature is achieved, turn the thermostat towards minimum until you hear a click and the heater turns off. The thermostat will then regulate the room temperature automatically.
Please note that there can be several 0C drop or rise in temperature to activate or deactivate the thermostat. The temperature is taken from near to the fire and therefore some fluctuations may arise. Other situations such as the size of the room, the airflow within the room, and the proximity to other heat sources may cause fluctuations in the thermostat's efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance / cleaning is undertaken always disconnect the fire from the power supply. Replacing light bulbs Your fire comes fitted with two 60W clear bayonet cap bulbs. Allow a suitable time for the bulbs to cool and remove all the pebbles. Then unscrew the knob at the base of the fire and remove the fret and filter. Please note that replacement bulbs are not covered by the guarantee of the product. If you need to remove fingerprints from the stainless steel, use a special stainless steel cleaner, or a little baby oil or WD40 on a soft cloth.
