WARNING – KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

• Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.
• If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, immediately call the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (in Australia) or 0800 764 766 (in New Zealand) for fast, expert advice.
• Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g., that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure.
• Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.

CAUTION: No obvious symptoms

Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child’s oesophagus (food pipe).
There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:

• cough, gag, or drool a lot;
• appear to have a stomach upset or a virus;
• be sick;
• point to their throat or stomach;
• have pain in their abdomen, chest, or throat;
• be tired or lethargic;
• be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise “not themselves”;
• lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and
• not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food.

These types of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding. A specific symptom of button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this, seek immediate help. The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with “flat” or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.

Setup & Product Dimensions

Operation Temperature

-20°C to 40°C

Fixed Wiring

In such instances, this appliance must be installed by a suitably qualified installer, and the means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the local wiring rules.

WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

NOTE: A 10 Amp circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is preferred, but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operating. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.

Unpacking the Unit

The unit comes packed with a protective sheet covering the front of the unit. This sheet is intended to prevent dust and debris from entering during construction. This sheet is designed so that it can be partially removed to complete the wiring and unpacking, and can be reinstalled until the final installation is complete. The log set was installed on the grate, and the grate was permanently fixed to the firebox at the factory. Carefully remove the packaging from around the log set. Make sure the wires from the log set are connected securely to the grate box.

CAUTION: The Realogs contain LEDs to create a unique pulse and glow effect. Handle the log set carefully. They are fragile and can crack or break if dropped.

This product is provided with a ‘Tipping Restraint Kit’ as shown below, to prevent the product from accidentally tipping over. Fitting instructions are supplied with this kit. Please follow these instructions carefully.

WARNING: FALLING OR TIPPING APPLIANCES CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH OF YOUNG CHILDREN. PLEASE ENSURE CHILDREN DO NOT CLIMB, HANG, OR STAND ON THIS PRODUCT.

WARNING: THE APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH A TIPPING RESTRAINT. THIS RESTRAINT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER ADULT SUPERVISION. THIS RESTRAINT MAY PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST TIPPING FURNITURE. DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO CLIMB ON FURNITURE. FAILURE TO DETACH THIS RESTRAINT BEFORE MOVING FURNITURE MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND DAMAGE.

Touch Panel & Remote

WARNING: The Revillusion Electric Firebox must be installed properly before it is used.

CAUTION: Except for installation and cleaning described in this manual, an authorized service representative should perform any other servicing. The manual controls for the Revillusion Electric Firebox are located on the front panel. Touch an icon to activate. The selected setting displays on the left side of the panel.

A multi-function remote control is also provided. The remote control has a range of approximately 9 m. To operate correctly, the remote control must be pointed toward the front of the electric firebox.

WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

1. Unscrew the battery cover. Open the battery cover located on the remote control.
2. Install 1 x 3V CR2025 or CR2032 lithium battery in the battery holder. The positive (+) side of the battery faces up.
3. Close the battery cover and fix the cover in place with the fixing screw.
4. Dispose of the used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.

Operation

Resetting the Temperature Cut-Off Switch

Should the heater overheat, an automatic cut-out will turn the heater off, and it will not come back on without being reset. It can be reset by disconnecting power at the main electrical panel and waiting 5 minutes before plugging the unit back in.

CAUTION: If you need to continuously reset the heater, unplug the unit and call technical support.

Cleaning

Over time, dust can accumulate on the logs, grate, and base, which can affect performance. It is recommended to clean the unit at least once a month.

CAUTION: ALWAYS turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply before undergoing any cleaning and maintenance.

Logs and Base

The electric firebox should not be operated with an accumulation of dust or dirt on or in the firebox, as this can cause a build-up of heat and eventual damage. Dust and vacuum the firebox as needed. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean painted surfaces of the electric firebox. Never use abrasive cleaners.

Reflector Screen

The reflector screen is cleaned in the factory during the assembly operation. During shipment, installation, handling, etc., the screen may collect dust particles; these can be removed by dusting lightly with a clean dry cloth. To remove fingerprints or other marks, clean the reflector screen with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners. Dry the screen completely with a lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.

IMPORTANT: The control panel and other parts must not come into contact with water or any other liquids.

Maintenance

If the unit fails to operate efficiently, is broken, or other problems arise, unplug and do not operate. Ask for advice by calling your local after-sales service agent or the Customer Care Centre on 1300 556 816 (AU) / 0800 666 2824 (NZ).
