Separate disposal of batteries prevents potential negative effects on the environment and human health due to inadequate disposal, and also allows for recovering and recycling their constituent materials, resulting in significant savings in terms of  energy and resources. The separate disposal obligation is underlined by the crossed-out dustbin symbol appearing on the battery. Illegal disposal of the product by the user shall result in administrative sanctions being applied as per  current regulations.

OVERHEATING SAFETY DEVICE

In case of overheating, the safety system of the appliance automatically disables the heating elements and the motor, thus shutting down the operation of the fireplace.
In this case:

• remove the cause of the overheating (e.g. obstacles on the air intake/outlet grilles, dust deposits in the appliance, etc.);
• allow the unit to cool for 15/20 minutes;
• turn on the fireplace again and ensure it operates correctly.
  If the procedure was followed properly and the unit still fails to operate, check the fuse in the wall socket. If this is not the cause, contact a service centre.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS

Replace the fuse (13 amp) in the plug.
The fireplace does not emit heat| The fireplace is fitted with a thermostat to save energy. If the room temperature is higher than the set temperature, the unit does not produce heat.
If you set a higher temperature, the fireplace will begin to emit heat.
The fireplace switches off after a period of operation| Check that the temperature is not set at minimum. When the room temperature reaches the set temperature, the fire goes out.
Make sure that the air inlet and outlet are not obstructed.
The fireplace is noisy| A slight noise may be heard when the flame effect is active, caused by a motor that allows the production of this effect. The noise will be perceptible only when there is no background noise.
A higher level of noise is noticeable when you turn on the heating function, caused by the fan that circulates the hot air.
