Installation Instructions

This section describes how to set up your fire.

BEFORE YOU START

• Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning labels carefully) and retain all packing for possible future use.
• Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the appliance.
• Ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface
• Lift off the metal top plate to gain access to the appliance. Keep the top plate with the packing for possible future use. (Fig.2)

Installation Guide

This product can be built into a wall, surround or structure. Please take note of the product dimensions in Fig.1 and build your wall, surround or structure accordingly. You are required to leave a minimum of 400mm from the base of the fuelbed to any shelf/enclosure above the product. This will allow enough space above the product to allow the flames to form fully and not to be obstructed. This product needs free ventilation from underneath to operate correctly. The free ventilation helps keep the electronic components cool, allow the mist to evacuate the sump and lift out of the product effortlessly. THE AREA OF FREE VENTILATION THE OMC500L REQUIRES IS A MINIMUM OF 210CM .2 THE AREA OF FREE VENTILATION THE OMC1000L REQUIRES IS A MINIMUM OF 420CM .2

Surround Design

The OMC500L and OMC1000L are designed to be built into a surround/wall. Using the dimensions provided in Fig1. you can design a cavity for the appliance. Be sure to allow room under and around the appliance for the water connection and the electrical connection. Once the surround/wall is prepared you can put the appliance in place. Fit the LED Log Fuelbed so you ensure that the appliance is centered, see section ‘Assembling the LED Log Fuelbed’. When you have settled on a position, lift off the Fuelbed and using appropriate screws for the surround/wall, screw through the formed holes in the left and right side panels securing the appliance in place.

Water Supply

The appliance can operate by using the water tank(s) provided or by connecting up mains water. Water Tank(s): You will need to remove the ‘Fill Cap’ from the sump. (Fig.3a and Fig.3b). Place the Water Tank(s) (Fig.3C) in your sink and remove the cap (turn anti-clockwise). Fill the Water Tank with filtered tap water only. This is necessary to prolong the life of the flame and smoke producing unit. The water should be filtered through a conventional domestic water fi lter unit and the fi lter should be replaced regularly. Distilled water must not be used.

Mains Water: If you choose to supply mains water to the appliance store the bottle(s) with the metal top plate and packaging. You can use  the Piercing Valve (supplied) to connect into your mains water supply by;

• Clamp the Piercing Valve onto you water pipe: maximum 1/2” (12.7mm) pipe
• Connect a 1/4” (6.35mm) PVC tube (not supplied) from the piercing valve into the water filter supplied and then in to the product (Fig.4).
• Turn the tap on the valve clockwise to pierce into the water pipe. Turn the tap anti-clockwise to allow the water to flow through the valve. You can shut off the water to the product by turning the tap on the valve clockwise until the flow stops.
• Turn on the internal ball valve. This is located under the sump. Remove the sump as described under ‘Cleaning’ in the Maintenance section
• Please note: the water pressure is to be between 8Bar (800Kilopascals) and 0.5Bar (50Kilopascals).
• If you do not feel confident making this connection please consult a qualified plumber, to ensure a safe and secure installation.

Electrical Connection

Plug the fire into a 13amp/240 volt outlet. Be sure to have access to the plug after installation to allow for disconnection. Ensure that the supply cable exits at the back of the fire, at the right or left hand corner to suit your supply socket location and is not trapped under the fire such that it might cause it to be damaged. If connecting multiple appliances into the same outlet be sure not to connect more that 5 appliances. If more appliances are required they must be connected into a separate circuit. The appliance can be connected to the fixed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box positioned adjacent to the appliance. This electrical installation must be carried out by a competent electrician and be in strict accordance with the current I.E.E regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings. The electrical can remove the supplied plug by the following;

• Lift off the fuelbed and put switch ‘A’ into the off position (Fig 9).
• Ensure that the appliance is unplugged.
• Lift off the access cover by removing the retaining screw (Fig 15).
• Unscrew and remove the Live, Neutral and Earth wires.
• Unscrew the cable clamp (Fig 16 ‘A’) and remove the supply cord.

The electrician can then connect their wire from the appliance (by following the steps above in reverse) to the connection box ensuring that it incorporates a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm. Brown – Live (L), Blue – Neutral (N) and Green/Yellow – Earth (E).

Assembling the LED Log Fuelbed

This product is equipped with a ‘metal fuelbed’. Before assembling the LED Log Fuelbed you have to lift off this metal fuelbed and place aside, (Fig.2). You can keep this for future use. Gently lift the LED Log Fuelbed out of its packaging.

CAUTION: Be sure to only lift the Fuelbed by the two center logs (Fig.5). These are the strongest. Place the Fuelbed on top of the appliance, there are 4 plastic guides under the Fuelbed to help locate it, (Fig.6). The Fuelbed can be placed front to back or back to front, it is the customers preference how this is to be orientated. Once in place lift off the small loose log, this is held in place by magnets. Under this there is DC wire jack and a hole through the fuelbed.

Connect this to the corresponding DC wire jack on the product through the holes in the Fuelbed, (Fig.7). The is now assembled and is ready to be switched on. There is also a loose non LED log packed with the Fuelbed. For the OMC500L this can be placed on top of the Fuelbed or stored away with the packaging. For the OMC1000L the loose log can be placed on the center join between the two Fuelbeds.

Connecting the Receiver

• Take your Receiver, 4button for OMC500L and 6button for OMC1000L, and with the Fuelbed removed insert the 3.5mm jack into the socket at the back of the appliance (Fig.8).
• The Receiver has a cable length of 1.4m which will allow you position it anywhere around the product. If you prefer to hide it the Receiver can be placed inside the surround/wall.
• Please ensure that the Receiver is not enclosed in metal, concrete or any other dense material, this will affect the signal from the remote control.
