How deep is the inset for this electric fire?

The fire is designed for flat-to-wall installation and includes a 50mm spacer to allow for adjustable inset depth, ensuring a flush fit in various fireplace openings.

Troubleshooting

The fire is not turning on or heating.

Ensure the fire is securely plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check the power switches and thermostat settings located on the unit. Verify the wall socket is functional by testing it with another appliance.

The flame effect is not working, but heat is produced.

Locate the 'glow-only' switch, usually found under the canopy or on the control panel, and ensure it is switched on. If it's on, check for any loose connections or consult the user manual for specific bulb replacement instructions if applicable (Info needed: bulb type/replacement process).

The fire does not fit flush into my fireplace opening.

The Adam Helios includes a 50mm spacer specifically designed to adjust the inset depth. Ensure you have installed this spacer if your fireplace opening requires a shallower inset. If the opening is too small, you may need to adjust the surround opening (Info needed: verify if professional modification is recommended).

The heat output seems low or inconsistent.

Confirm that the fire is set to the desired heat setting (1kW or 2kW) and that the thermostat is adjusted to a temperature higher than the ambient room temperature. Ensure the heat vents are not obstructed by furniture or other items, allowing for proper air circulation.
