Installation
Before installing this appliance in an existing chimney, we recommend that;
You have your chimney cleaned by a competent chimney sweep.
You block off the chimney flue.
This procedure is important for the efficient operation of the heating unit and will also reduce heat loss up the
chimney.
Positioning the Stove :
The Opti-V Stove uses an illusionary reflection technique and is designed to work best when ambient light levels are low.
There is an LED above the Logs which is controlled by a dimmer, that allows the brightness of the logs to be adjusted,
to create the perfect flame effect to suit your environment or in areas where the ambient light levels are normal.
A minimum gap of 60mm, at the back of the product (see
thermostat to have optimum effect.
Operating the Stove
This section describes how to activate your Stove using either the remote control or manual controls.
The mains switch (Fig. 3a) controls the electricity supply to the Stove.

The switch is located on the front panel behind the door. Open the door to access the switch - see Fig. 3.
When activated the logbed will light up and after approximately 7 seconds the flame picture will appear.
The user may notice a blank screen for approximately 2-3 seconds, every 30 minutes. This is normal and should not be
a cause for concern.

Electronic Thermostat :
The heating is controlled by the electronic thermostat. The default setting is '22' - see Fig. 3b. When the heat is activated,
the heating will turn off, when the thermostat senses the temperature is at '22'. The heating will be activated again,
when the thermostat senses that the temperature is less than '22'. This (room temperature) figure can be changed by
pressing the temperature down button ( ) to reduce the room temperature (min 15) or the temperature up button ( )
to increase the room temperature (max 30). An audio 'beep' can be heard with each press and will stop when maximum
or minimum is reached.
Note : the heating will only operate when the mains switch (Fig. 3a) is in the on (I) position and the room temperature is
lower than the electronic set temperature.
