Installation Instructions

BEFORE YOU START

1. Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible
future use e.g. in the event of moving house or returning the appliance to your supplier.
2. Before connecting to the mains supply, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the appliance.
INSTALLATION
This appliance has been designed to be housed in separately designed structures – e.g. furniture, fireplace surrounds etc.
To incorporate this appliance into another structure, it should be securely fitted, following these guidelines:
ESSENTIAL VENTING
A suitable air vent is essential to ensure that air can circulate into the appliance - otherwise the Opti-myst
flame effect will not operate correctly. A cavity of at least 100cm² is required for this air vent. This pathway
for air must not be obstructed. For examples of air vents see (Fig 19) The air vent should be free from drafts.
1.Construct an opening for the appliance (Fig 18)
2.Ensure that there is sufficient room to thread through the mains cable
3.A cavity of at least 100cm² is required to ensure air can circulate into the appliance. - See ESSENTIAL VENTING.
4.Lower the appliance into the opening.
5.Remove the water sump, to enable access to the screw holes.
6.Screw the appliance into the structure by using suitable screws, not supplied.
Connecting the Transducer Unit + Lamps
1. Release the two red tabs by turning them by 90 degrees (see 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. Make sure the Transducer sits flat 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
9. Place Water Tank in sink and remove cap (turn anti-clockwise to open) (Fig 7)
10. Fill Water Tank with filtered tap water only. This is necessary to prolong the life of the flame and smoke effect
producing unit. The water should be filtered through a conventional domestic water filter unit and the filter should be
replaced regularly. Distilled water must not be used.
11. Screw the cap back on – do not overtighten.
12. Place the Water Tank in the Sump, with the tank cap facing down and the flat side of the tank facing outward (Fig 8)
Assembling the fire
13. Place the Fuelbed on top of the Water Tank and Mist Nozzle (Fig 9)
Connect the power cable to the appropriate power connector at the back of the appliance and
Plug the power cable into a 16amp/250volt outlet. The appliance is now ready for use.
