General Information
Only use filtered water in this appliance.
Always ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface.
Although this heater complies with safety standards, we do not recommend its use on deep pile carpets or on long
hair type of rugs.
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.
If this product experiences a power surge for whatever reason the product may cut-out. This is a normal safety feature
and the product will resume operation after 30 seconds.
Once installed, never move this appliance or lay on its back, without draining the water from sump and water tank.
If you intend not using the appliance for longer than 2 weeks, drain the water from sump and water tank and dry the
sump.
The water tank, sump, sump lid, tank cap and air filters must be cleaned once every two weeks, particularly in hard
water areas.
The appliance should never be operated if the lamps are not working.
The lamps should be regularly inspected as described under 'Maintenance' and 'Changing lamps'.

When installing this appliance into a fireplace mantle please ensure that you choose a mantle suitable for your
appliance (Fig 18). There is to be an air vent at the front of the fireplace mantle of at least 88cm2. It is
essential to ensure that air can circulate into the appliance – otherwise the Opti-myst flame effect will
not operate correctly. This pathway for air must not be obstructed
2.
Remove the 4 spacing brackets on the front of the appliance (Fig 19)
3.
Slide the appliance into the fireplace mantle fully from the back ensuring that it is sitting in the center of the
mantle. Using suitable screws (not supplied) screw fix the appliance in place (Fig 20)
4.
Be sure to position the fireplace within 1m of a power outlet (Fig 21)
Installation into a wall or recess cavity

pathway for air must not be obstructed. For examples of air vents in a wall or recess cavity see Fig 23
Connecting the Transducer Unit + Lamps
1. Release the two red tabs by turning them by 90 degrees (Fig 2)
2. Lift out the Sump Nozzle (Fig 3)
3. Insert lamps into lamp holders (Fig 4), carefully locating the pins into the holes (Fig 4a)
4. Push lamps firmly into place
5. Place the Transducer Unit into the sump and join the cable to the connector on the sump (Fig 5)
6. To ensure that the Transducer Unit is correctly placed in the sump, the tab on the Transducer Unit should be lined
up with the moulded recess in the sump (Fig 5a).
7. Ensure that the cable is not placed above the disc on the Transducer Unit (Fig 5b). To prevent the cable becoming
pinched between the nozzle and the sump, place the cable in the slot in the wall of the sump.
8. Replace the Sump Nozzle and secure it by turning the two red tabs by 90 degrees (Fig 6)
Filling the Water Tank
