Operation
When you are certain that you have completed the installation,
plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
Controls
Fuel effect
The fuel effect will be lit all the time that the heater is connected to
the power supply, even if the heat selector switches are in the OFF
position. The flicker rotors should begin to rotate after a minute
or so.
The lamps will go out only when the heater is switched off at the
wall socket or unplugged.
Radiant elements – see Fig. 2
You have a choice of low heat (two elements, 1332W) or high heat
(three elements, 1998W). Both settings have electronic
temperature control - see below.
A switch is set to ON when the red dot is visible.
Low heat setting
Press switch 1 to ON. Two elements will glow and, when the
temperature selected on the electronic control dial 3 is reached,
one of the elements will automatically turn off, switching back on if
the temperature falls.
See also Electronic economiser temperature control below.
High heat setting
Set switches 1 and 2 to ON. All three elements will glow and, when
the temperature selected on the electronic control dial 3 is
reached, two of the elements will automatically turn off, switching
back on if the temperature falls.
The fire can be returned to low heat setting by pressing switch 2
to OFF.
See also Electronic economiser temperature control below.
Electronic economiser temperature control
This sensitive output control 3 will switch the radiant heater
elements ON and OFF to accurately maintain the level of comfort
that you have selected.
Select low or high radiant setting then turn the control dial to 7;
when the room reaches a comfortable level of warmth, turn the dial
down until the electronically controlled elements switch off. The
control dial should be left at this setting; the electronic control will
then switch the elements ON and OFF as needed to maintain your
chosen comfort level.

Convector Heater – see Fig. 3
The 800 watt convector heater can be used by itself for
background heating, or in conjunction with the radiant elements
for extra heat. The convector output is through the vent in the
canopy. This vent must never be covered or obstructed.
The convector heater is controlled by an ON/OFF switch 4 and
thermostat 5 located at the top right-hand side of the fire. The
output may be set to any position between MIN and MAX settings.
Set the switch to ON and set the thermostat to maximum setting
initially.
When the room is warm enough, turn the thermostat down slowly
until the convector heater just clicks off.
The thermostat will switch the convector ON and OFF to maintain
the selected temperature setting, as indicated by the pilot light 6.
In the MIN position, the convector will switch ON at a temperature
of approximately 5°C, to help protect against frosty conditions.
NOTE: If the convector heater does not come on when the
thermostat is set to a low number, this is normally because the
room is warmer than the thermostat setting and is not a fault.
