Control Knob 'D':- Controls the Electronic Thermostat setting.

Turning the control knob Clockwise will decrease the temperature setting, turning the control knob Anti Clockwise will increase the temperature setting.

When the water is empty the main lamps go out. See instructions under 'Maintenance', 'Filling the water tank'.

When this procedure is complete, the main lamps will illuminate but it will take 30 seconds before the flames return.

Electronic Thermostat

The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when the room is warm.

To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat control knob 'D' (See Fig. 2) Anti-Clockwise until the desired temperature is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat control knob 'D' (See fig. 2) up fully. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat control knob 'D' (See Fig. 2) clockwise until the desired heat setting is achieved.

The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature.

Remote Control Operation

On the control panel, Switch A (see Fig. 2) must be in the 'ON'(I) position in order for the remote control to operate. There are 3 buttons on the remote control. (See Fig. 7)

To operate correctly the remote must be pointed towards the front fuel effect.

The remote control functions are as follows:

Press once to turn on Flame effect only. This will be indicated by one beep.

Press once to turn on Half heat and Flame effect. This will be indicated by two beeps. Press again to turn on Full heat and Flame effect. This will be indicated by three beeps.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Discard leaky batteries.

Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to provincial and local regulations.

Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

Thermal safety cut-out

A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet was restricted in any way or if the chimney flue has not been blocked off effectively. If the cut-out operates, unplug the heater from the socket outlet and allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the heater back on remove any obstruction that may be restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.

Tips for using your appliance.

1. Only pull out the drawer when its time to refi ll the water tank or change a lamp, otherwise it may lead to excess water in the sump and reduced fl ame eff ect. If this happens empty the water from the sump as instructed under 'Maintenance'.

2. With the flame setting on minimum the unit will use approximately 40ml of water per hour and will last 3 times as long than when it is at maximum flame setting.

3. Do not tilt or move the fire while there is water in the tank or sump.

4. Make sure that the fire is on a level floor.

5. The flame control knob 'C' Fig. 2 may be turned up or down to give a more realistic effect.

6. Sometimes the fl ames appear more real when the fl ame control knob is turned down.

7. Give the flame generator some time to react to changes you may make on the flame control knob.
