the heater element will cut out whilst the fan will still continue to run to
allow the fire to cool down sufficiently. Once the stove has cooled down the
thermal cut-out will reset itself and switch the heater back on. If the
problem persists switch the stove off and disconnect the power at the switch
and plug socket. Check that the heater warm air outlets and the inlets are not
obstructed (the outlets and inlets are situated on the underside of the stove
body). If the heater is still not operating correctly disconnect the stove and
seek expert advice.

down before cleaning. User maintenance should only be carried out by a
