Thermal Safety Cut-Out

A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the heater to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if the heat outlet is restricted in any way. The heater will switch on once the obstruction has been removed and the heater has cooled. If the cut-out continues to operate intermittently, the heater should be switched off and a service agent contacted.

Light Emitting Diode

This fire is fitted with LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs in place of traditional incandescent bulbs. These generate the same light levels as traditional bulbs, but use a fraction of the energy consumed.

Cleaning, Servicing and Maintenance

NOTE : There are no user-serviceable components to this appliance. If there are issues that cannot be resolved with your appliance, then please contact your retailer. Allow the product to completely cool before handling or cleaning it.

1. Switch off and unplug from the power supply before cleaning.

2. Do not allow water or other liquids to run into the interior of the product, as this could create a fire and/or electrical hazard.
   CAUTION : Do not use harsh detergents, chemical cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surface finish or the plastic components.

3. Hard floor coverings in particular, but all floor coverings cause fluff that can be drawn into the air intakes. From time-to-time and no less than every two months, isolate the fire from the mains and attach the brush accessory to your vacuum cleaner and gently vacuum the air intakes and outlets.

Battery Replacement Remote Control

Battery information – see Fig. 35

1. Slide open the battery cover on the back of the remote control
2. Install AAA batteries into the remote control
3. Replace the battery cover

Discard leaky batteries
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to 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.

Troubleshooting

(IF IN DOUBT isolate the appliance and seek professional advice)
The unit does not switch on:

• Making sure it is safe to do so, check the mains supply.
• Making sure it is safe to do so, check the fuse in the mains supply.
• Check main power on/off switch is on and red light behind screen illuminates.
• Change the battery in the remote control handset.
• If none of the above work, then please refer to your retailer.

The heater smells of burning:

• On first uses there may be a smell as the heating elements burn off residual deposits from manufacture.
• After periods of no use, dust can settle on the elements and will burn off. Excessive dust and fluff is a fire risk and should be eliminated by following the service and maintenance steps above.

When the heater is switched on it cuts itself off.

• This could be the normal operation of the thermostat having been set to a target temperature, and is fine.
• This could be the safety thermal cut-out device operating. If this operates, then firstly isolate the appliance from the mains and then check for obstructions to the air flow and remove them. This could be fluff under the fire, for example. Once the obstruction(s) have been removed, let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes and then reconnect the appliance to the mains and try the appliance again. If the issue persists, then seek the advice of a competent person or your retailer.

The appliance seems to work, but no lights are illuminated.

• Check the flame effect and fuel bed lights have not been turned off from the remote.
• Please refer to your retailer if your fire is not operating correctly after re-reading these instructions.

The fuel bed flickers

• This is normal and is a feature of the appliance giving a realistic flickering ember effect.

My fire makes some sounds
Your fire will make some sounds during normal operation. There are three sources of sound:

1. Switch/thermostat – During operation these will make quiet clicking sounds and will occur when your heater fan and heating elements are switched on or off.
2. Flame Effect – To ensure you experience a slow and relaxed flame effect speed, the electric motor provides its drive via an internal gearbox that will emit a faint gear noise.
3. Fan Heater – just like any fan heater there will be the sound of air being blown into the room.

The thermostat reading on the screen does not match the room temperature.

• The thermostat reading is of the ambient temperature in the immediate vicinity of the fire. It may be necessary to set a higher target temperature in some instances.

Remote control functions not working.

• Check batteries.
• Remove and replace batteries to “reboot” the handset.
• Double check you did not turn the fire off having set the fire to “dark” by pressing the flame picture button with the handset in its “on” mode.
• Ensure your handset is pointing towards the fire.

My 7 day programme has not worked.

• Please ensure you have pointed the controller at the flame picture during all steps of the programming and that the fire is on during all steps too.
• Double check that you have followed step 13 on page 11.
