This heater is fitted with a rewirable plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. When replacing the fuse, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used. If the plug is not suitable for your socket, remove it and fit an appropriate plug.

Before switching on

Remove the fuel effect (two screws) and check that the lamps and flicker rotors are positioned correctly – see Fig. 4, page 3.

The flicker rotors should sit horizontally on their pins and spin freely without fouling their mounting brackets. If necessary, adjust the bracket by bending slightly.

Refit the fuel effect by inserting the front edge first, then secure it with the two screws.

Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and that the fuel effect and radiant elements are positioned correctly, otherwise damage may occur.
