3. Replace the battery cover.

Discard leaky batteries.
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to provincial and local regulations.
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
Thermal safety cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet is restricted in any way. If the cut-out operates, unplug the fire from the socket outlet and allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting. Before switching the fire back on remove any obstruction that may be restricting the heat outlet, then continue normal operation.
Tips for using your appliance.

1.  Only pull out the drawer when its time to refill the water tank or change a lamp, otherwise it may lead to excess water in the sump and reduced flame effect. If this happens empty the water from the sump as instructed under ‘Maintenance’.
2. With the flame setting on minimum the unit will use approximately 40ml of water per hour and will last 3 times as long than when it is at maximum flame setting.
3. Do not tilt or move the fire while there is water in the tank or sump.
4. Make sure that the fire is on a level floor.
5. The flame control knob ‘C’ (Fig.2) may be turned up or down to give a more realistic effect.
6. Sometimes the flames appear more real when the flame control knob is turned down.
7. Give the flame generator some time to react to changes you may make on the flame control knob.
