General.
Unpack the fireplace carefully and retain the packaging for possible future
use, in the event of moving or returning the fireplace to your supplier. The
Remote Control and batteries are packed separately in the carton.
The fireplace incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or
without heating, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any
time of the year. Using the flame effect on its own only requires little
electricity.
This model is designed to be installed in a surround or into a wall recess.
Before connecting the fireplace check that the supply voltage is the same
as that stated on the fireplace.
Please note: Used in an environment where background noise is very low,
it may be possible to hear a sound which is related to the operation of the
flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.
