IMPORTANT NOTES:
When using this electrical appliance, basic precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to person, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this heater.
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surface. If provided, use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding,
- Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
- Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions. Disconnect power at service panel and have heater inspected by a reputable electrician before reusing.
- Do not use outdoors.
- To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, and turn off power to heater circuit at main disconnect panel ( or operate internal disconnect switch if provided).
- Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
- To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
- A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- If heater may include an audible or visual alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting excessively hot. If the alarm sounds (or illuminates), immediately turn the heater off and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may have blocked the airflow or other wise caused high temperatures to have occurred
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at (A) in figure below. An adaptor as shown at (C) is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
The adaptor should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
APPLIANCE DATA FOR THE NEW FOREST ELECTRIC FIRE
This fire is fitted with LED’s (Light Emitting Diode) in place of conventional bulbs. LED’s generate the same light levels as conventional bulbs, but use a fraction of the energy consumed.
SITE REQUIREMENTS:
It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat from the room surroundings to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.
Installing the appliance next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where imputiries in the air, (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing.
If the appliance is to be secure on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to secure the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour barrier and/or structural members of the house frame are not damaged. If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to secure the appliance and/or which type of wall fixing to use, you should take professional advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
The minimum distance to the front of the appliance is 35.4in.
There are no clearances for above or to the side of the appliance, apart from being clear of curtains and drapes for a flush wall installation. If the stud wall immediately above the heater of the appliance protrudes in front of the appliance rather then finishing flush, then the over hanging section of the installation must be made from a non-combustible material, such as calcium silicate.
CAUTION:
This appliance is heavy. Always seek assistance whilst unpacking and/or during installation. Please read all the instructions before continuing to unpack or install appliance.
INSTALLATION:
British Fires assumes absolutely no responsibility for injuries and damages that may occur due to improper installation or handling.
Remove any protective film coatings from the finished/decorative surfaces of the appliance, if any. After having selected the final position of the appliance taking into account the integrity of the wall the electric appliance may be secured to the wall.
To ensure customer safety, be sure to design the installation so that the strength of both the wall and any wall fixings used are sufficient. Do not block the ventilation holes of the appliance. The wall onto which the appliance/stud wall is installed must be flat. Install only on a vertical surface. Avoid sloped surfaces. Installation onto anything other than a vertical wall may result in fire, damage or injury.
If the appliance/stud wall is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then efforts should be made to fix into two or more wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the wall using the fixing screws provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be strengthened using appropriate building materials.
Ensure that the correct wall plugs are used for the type of wall that the stud work is being connected to.
INSTALLATION – STUDWALL
The stud wall MUST include a header at the dimensions, highlighted on the following pages. This is to ensure that the weight of the finished wall is not resting on top of the appliance.
The power inlet cable can be installed through your choice of two locations on the top, right hand corner of the appliance. Each can be accessed through one removable plate.
This appliance should be positioned on a firm level surface and in a clean ‘dust free’ environment. If fitted into an open chimney, the chimney must be blocked off to reduce the risk of draught and damp through the fire, which may cause the safety cut out system in the fan heater to operate. The base of the opening/stud work must be able to take the full weight of the appliance.
Operating the appliance:
Standby Button:
When powering up for the first time, press the “on/off switch” on the fire. The default parameters of the system are: the heating gear position is “82°F/27°C”, the main flame gear position is L1 (Orange), no heating.
Changing Flame Effect:
In the power-on state, press this button, the digital screen displays the flame position and the flame indicator is bright, and the main flame position can be adjusted. The flame brightness settings are: F1, F2, F3, F4.
Heating Operations:
Press the heater button to turn the heating function on and off and adjust the temperature setting. Heater is divided into temperature settings: 62°, 63°, 64°, 65°, 66°, 67F, 68°, 69°, 70°, 71°, 72, 73°, 74°, 75°, 76°, 77°, 78°, 79°, 80°, 81°, 82°F, ON. (Circular operation control)
Press and hold the heater button for 3 seconds to convert the temperature unit from °C to °F. The temperature display window will flash. After the temperature is set, the display unit will flash 5 times, then automatically saves the settings and exits the setting state. After the display unit is turned on, if there is no operation within 10 seconds, the setting status is also exited.
Fan delay function: After the appliance is turned off, the fan will continue running for 15 seconds then stop.
Open Window Detection function: When the appliance is heating, the ambient temperature suddenly drops ≥–5°C within 10 minutes, and the environment cannot be warmed up within 30 minutes.
Clock setting:
- At standby state (after the unit is plugged in and before pressing “main power”), press and hold the Setting button on the remote for 3 seconds, the digital display will the flash “00:00”.
