Product Usage Instructions
- Before using the product for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully and retain them for future reference.
- Do not use the electric fireplace on deep pile carpets or long hair type of rugs.
- Children or vulnerable people should not be left alone in the room with the electric fireplace unless constant supervision is provided. Also, keep a minimum distance of 1m from the air outlet.
- Do not cover the electric fireplace as it carries a warning symbol indicating that it must not be covered.
- Do not use the electric fireplace in outdoor areas exposed to weather, near water, on slopes or uneven surfaces, where there is risk of fire or close to a naked flame, where it may be damaged by chemicals, where there is a risk of interference by foreign objects, or where small children may be left unattended.
- The fire incorporates a flame effect, which can be used with or without heat, so that the comforting effect may be enjoyed at any time of the year. To reduce heat loss and prevent any chimney up-draft affecting the operation of your stove fire, we recommend that the chimney flue is sealed off. Always ensure that the appliance is sitting on a level surface.
- Before connecting the appliance, check that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the appliance. The electric fireplace must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. Ensure that the appliance is earthed.
- If used in an environment where background noise is very low, it may be possible to hear a sound related to the operation of the fan heater and flame effect. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

- 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.

child’s oesophagus (food pipe).
There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might:
- cough, gag or drool a lot

These types of symptoms vary or fluctuate. with the pain increasing and then subsiding.
A specific symptom to 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.
