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	1
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.

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.

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.
