If it operates due to an obstruction in the airflow, the heater must be turned off
and allowed to cool for 15 minutes and the obstruction removed before
restarting.

Care and Cleaning
The heater and glass parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth, do
not use polishes or abrasive materials.

Fault Finding

If the stove functions manually but not by the remote control handset replace the
handset batteries (2 x AAA Alkaline)
No light from the fuel effect: possibly a bulb failure. Remove the faulty bulb as
detailed above and check it in a table lamp that is known to work.
No heat or light: check the wall socket by plugging in a known working
appliance. If functional, check the 13A fuse in the heater plug. If either fuse or
socket is suspected, have them checked by an electrician.
Light but no heat: Check that the Thermostat on the stove is set above
ambient room temperature, alternatively the automatic cut out, may have
operated, see Automatic Cut Out section.
