Safety Thermal Cut-out and Thermal Link:
This appliance is fitted with an Electric Safety Control (E.S.). This is a safety device, which switches off the fire if, for any reasons, the appliance overheats. The E.S. Control can only be re-set after the appliance has cooled down, in Order to reset the E.S. Control, proceed as follows:

• Switch off the appliance. Unplug at wall socket and leave for approximately 5-10 minutes.
• Plug in switch on appliance and the E.S. Control will re-set.

Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the E.S. Control switches off again it is advisable to have the appliance checked by a competent electrician.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

Maintenance:

WARNING: – Before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning, ensure appliance is disconnected from mains supply.
Only competent persons should service / repair appliance.
WARNING: There are no internal user serviceable parts, i.e. bulbs, in this product. Under no circumstance should access be gained to the internal parts other than by a suitably qualified person.
Please note: – If the supply cord on this appliance is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent, or a qualified person to avoid hazard.
Care
Warning: Before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning disconnect appliance from main supply. Only competent persons should service / repair appliances.
General Suite Care – not glass
To maintain the appearance of you new suite we recommend that it is dusted using a lint free cloth. NEVER use any form of abrasives or a DAMP cloth on the surround. The area around the fire should be kept free of any materials such as lint or house dust (i.e. animal hair/ carpet fibres) that could be drawn into the internal workings of the appliance and hence affect the performance. We recommend that you clean around the fan grille housing at regular intervals. This can be done using standard vacuum cleaner and suitable attachment.
Glass Care
Caution: The manufacturer recommends two people for removal and installation of this glass panel. Always use caution when handling glass, Failure to do so could result in injury or property damage.
Periodically it may be necessary to remove the glass screen for cleaning. This is achieved by first disconnecting the appliance from the mains supply and then removing the four screws securing the glass top bracket to the heater box, this will release the glass top bracket. Important: Ensure that the glass panel is supported during removal as it may swing out from the top when the glass top racket is removed. With the glass top bracket removed, lift the glass panel upwards and towards to remove the panel from the fire. Place in a clean, soft, safe location for cleaning.
When cleaning the glass panels use a slightly damp cloth. Do not use washing powders or any other substance containing abrasives since these substances scratch glass. Refitting is the reversal of this procedure.
