Ensure that the supply cable is not trapped under the fire such that it might cause it to be damaged.
Before using the manual controls firstly fill the water tank (See 'Maintenance', 'Filling the water tank').
Operating the Fire
Manual Controls.
The Opti-myst manual controls are located beneath the hinged canopy. Raise the canopy to access the controls. (See
Fig.2 for Manual Control lay out)
Switch 'A':- Controls the electricity supply to the Fire.
Note: This switch must be in the 'ON' ( I ) position for the Fire to operate either with or without heat.
Switch 'B':- Press
once to turn on the flame effect. This will be indicated by an audible beep. Although the main lights
operate immediately it will take a further 30 seconds before the flame effect starts.
Press
again to give flame effect and half heat. This will be indicated by two beeps.
Press
again to give flame effect and full heat. This will be indicated by three beeps.
Press
again to return to flame effect only. This will be indicated by one beep.
Press
to put fire in to standby mode. This will be indicated by one beep.
Control Knob 'C':- Controls the Thermostat setting.
Turning the control knob Anti Clockwise will decrease the temperature setting, turning the control knob Clockwise
will increase the temperature setting.
Control Knob 'D':- Controls the intensity of the flame effect.
Turning the control knob Anti Clockwise increases the flame effect, turning the control knob Clockwise will
decrease the flame effect.
When the water in the tank and in the sump runs out the main lamps will go out. See instructions under 'Maintenance',
'Filling the water tank'. When this procedure is complete, the main lamps will illuminate but it will take 30 seconds before
the flames return.
Setting the Thermostat
Plug in and switch on the fire to the full heat setting. Turn the Control Knob 'C' fully clockwise (max temperature setting)
to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back
slowly until you hear the thermostat just click off. The heater will then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
Note: Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature
being higher then the thermostat setting
Thermal safety cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if the
heat outlet was restricted in any way or if the chimney flue has not been blocked off effectively. If the cut-out operates,
unplug the heater from the socket outlet and allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the
heater back on remove any obstruction that may be restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.
Caution: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be
supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a switch that is regularly switched on
and off by the utility.
Remote Control Operation
On the control panel, Switch A (see Fig.2) must be in the 'ON' ( I ) position in order for the remote control to operate.
There are 3 buttons on the remote control. (See Fig.7) To operate correctly the remote must be pointed towards the front
of the grate. (See Fig 12). The remote control functions are as follows:
Press once to turn on Flame effect only.
This will be indicated by one beep.
Press once to turn on Half Heat and Flame Effect.
This will be indicated by two beeps.
Press again to turn on Full Heat and Flame Effect.
This will be indicated by three beeps.
Standby
This will be indicated by one beep.
