for levelling the fire where the base of the fireplace opening is
raised above the level of the hearth.

Setting the Thermostat

For your safety, this appliance has been fitted with thermal
cut-out. In the event that the product overheats, the cut-out
switches the heat off automatically.

To bring the heat back into operation, remove the cause of
the overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply
to the heater for up to 10 minutes.

When the heater has cooled sufficiently , re-connect and switch
on the heater.

Cleaning

Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it
to cool.

The surfaces of the heater should be given an occasional
wipe over with a dry soft cloth.

Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish
on the metal body of the heater.

The glass screen should be cleaned carefully with a chamois
leather. DO NOT use proprietary cleaners.

To remove any accumulation of dust or fluff the soft brush
attachment of a vacuum cleaner should occasionally be used
to clean the outlet grille of the fan heater located under the
canopy.

To clean the fuel effect, remove the coal pieces or pebbles
and wash in warm water. The plastic tray should be wiped
clean with a damp cloth. When dry replace the coal pieces or
pebbles and arrange for best effect.

Plug in and set all switches to ON. Turn the thermostat knob to
MAX to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature
has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back
slowly until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will then
maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.

NOTE – Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat
is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature
being higher than the thermostat setting.
