Electrical Safety
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET

• Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on 220 ­ 240V AC; 50Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the unit.
• This product may be fitted with a non re-wipeable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
• If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged in any way, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. This should be carried out by a qualified electrician. The plug removed must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

Safety Protective Devices
The appliance is fitted with an over heat protection and safety cut off system.

• Overheat protection – the power to the heating elements will automatically cut off if the temperature of the heating elements exceeds a certain limit. In the event of overheating, the heater will stop operating. Switch the appliance off and allow it to completely cool.
• This appliance is fitted with a safety cut-off which will operate if the heater overheats (e.g. Due to blocked air vents). For safety reasons, the heater will NOT automatically reset. To reset the appliance, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply for at least 15 minutes. Reconnect the supply to the mains and switch on the appliance.

CLEANING AND CARE

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard.
Before you clean the appliance, disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket.

• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning.
• Do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in any liquid or allow moisture to come into contact with electrical parts.
• Clean the outer surface using a moist cloth and wipe over with a dry, soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh detergents, abrasives or spray on cleaners.
• Don’t allow water to seep into the openings or come into contact with electrical connections.
• Allow sufficient drying time before operating again.
• Clean the air inlets and outlets regularly with a vacuum cleaner using the brush attachment (with a regular use, at least twice a year).
• When the appliance is not in use. We recommend that, the heater is re-packed in its original packaging and stored in a cool, dry place.

PROBLEM SOLVING

My appliance does not work when I turn it on:

1. Check that your appliance is plugged in and the power is turned on at the mains socket.
2. Try another mains socket.
3. Check the appliance is in an upright position.
4. Check that the thermostat setting has not been set too low.
5. If the appliance still doesn’t work, do not try to repair it yourself.

If your appliance power is automatically cut off, follow the step below:

1. Unplug your appliance from the mains socket and allow it to completely cool down.
2. Inspect your appliance. Clean the air inlet and air outlet with a vacuum cleaner if necessary. If there are any signs of physical damage (e.g. melting, or burning of the case), do not attempt to use the appliance. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.
3. Plug in the appliance and switch it on again. If it cuts off again, move the appliance to a better ventilated location.

Note: This appliance has LED light bulbs to create the flame effect, therefore it should only be serviced by qualified electricians.
