WARNING. Installation of all gas appliances MUST be carried out only by an Authorised Installer. The heater must be installed according to these instructions and in compliance with all relevant building, gas-fitting, electrical and other Statutory Regulations (e.g. AS 5601 (AG-601), NZS 5261).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT PLACE ARTICLES ON OR AGAINST THIS APPLIANCE. DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS NEAR THIS APPLIANCE. DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION. LIGHTING AND RUNNING THE FIRE:• Open the gas supply valve behind the appliance, if fitted. CAUTION: If the main burner has been alight, wait two to three minutes to allow it to cool before relighting it. ACC MODELS:These can be in three configurations.
• Check the display on the remote control. If it reads ‘OFF’, aim the remote control toward the receiver and press the centre button on the remote to switch it to ‘ON’. When the display shows ‘ON’, the SET TEMP will be displayed below the ROOM TEMP. For the burner to light, the SET TEMP must be higher than the ROOM TEMP. Raise the SET TEMP, if necessary, by pressing the right hand button. • Turn the PILOT control fully anticlockwise to the ‘ON’ position and the fire will light at full heat.
• The lower rocker switch on the handpiece controls the fan, switching it to ‘OFF’, ‘LOW’, ‘MEDIUM’ and ‘HIGH’ sequentially. NOTE. The fan is also controlled by an internal switch which will not permit it to start until the fire is hot (about ten minutes from cold on high fire) and will keep it running after the fire goes out. The handpiece will not start the fan during the warm-up period, but it can pre-select the speed at which the fan will start once the firebox is hot.

TEST FIRING It is absolutely essential that the installer test fires the heater before leaving the site. If fitted, open the gas supply valve at the rear of the heater and check all gas joints for leakage using a leak check solution or an electronic ‘sniffer’, NOT a naked flame. Test fire the heater, following the lighting instructions on pages 2, 3 and 4 of this manual. First check that the pilot light ignites satisfactorily. Initially it may take several attempts until the air is purged from the pipeline.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Maintenance must be carried out only by authorised personnel. Minor adjustments can be made with the heater in its normal operating position, but it will be found more convenient to move the heater away from the wall for major work. If it is necessary to move the heater:• Shut off the gas supply at the valve behind the heater. • Remove the access plate on the rear of the cabinet. • Disconnect the gas line at the heater.
GLASS REMOVAL AND ASSEMBLY Carry out these procedures only while the heater is standing upright. 1. Remove the louvre by lifting it upwards and outwards. 2. Remove the dress guard, if fitted. 3.
