Maintenance

Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Ensure the power has been isolated or the appliance has been switched off and the plug removed before commencing any maintenance. The heater should be allowed to cool completely.

Cleaning

A soft, dry, lint free cloth such as a microfibre cloth can be used to remove dust and for general day to day care. If a more thorough clean is required, a soft damp cloth (never a wet cloth) may be used to wipe the exterior surfaces. The glass can be cleaned with a household glass cleaner and a soft cloth. The appliance must be fully dry before the heater is used.

Safety Features

As this appliance contains a heating component there is an automatic thermal cut out safety feature.

This feature stops the product from overheating and potentially causing a fire. If the appliance reaches a temperature above the guideline parameters, the automatic thermal cut out safety feature will activate and the heater will cut out. The fans will continue to run to cool down the appliance.

Once sufficiently cooled, the automatic thermal cut out safety feature will automatically reset and the heater will restart.

If this problem continues, turn off the fire and disconnect from the socket or isolate  the power supply.  Check that none of the ventilation vents are obstructed. If your fire has been installed within a chimney, the chimney must be blocked off as the draught could effect the appliance.

If the problem still continues, contact your supplier and keep the appliance unplugged from the mains.

WARNING

• The heater should never be submerged in water
• The interior of the appliance should never be wet
• Cleaning materials such as, but not limited to, detergents, alcohol and abrasives should never be used on the appliance as these can damage the finish or the glass
