Hi, thanks in advance for all the replies. Ive have just purchased a Dimplex Living Art Fire, Model LVA191. When it arrived I was told to test it by the supplier before hanging it. The fire came with a 3 core flex attached which I just stuck a plug on and plug it into the wall ( Via an extension lead ), as instructed by supplier. However one of the electric heaters on the back of the fire started to smoke and the fan wouldn't turn. Obviously I turned it off. The supplier did send me a replacement but the same happened again!
My questions on this are.
- has anyone on experienced similar problems with this type of fire, its the living art model which plays various pictures of fire scenes.
- was sticking a plug on it the wrong way to test it? as it does say it should be hard wired to a fused spur.
- any other comments on the general performance and durability on the dimplex fires?
- my electrician has installed a switched 13amp fused spur for the fire to get power from. Is this right based on the specs below?
The spec says. Must be used on an AC- supply only, plug the IEC connector for the hard wiring outlet to IEC fused (SSC 10A 250v ) socket on the applinace.
thanks again for any replies.
