separately within the carton. When the heater is assembled
the coals or pebbles are placed on top of the fuel bed up to a

There are two lamps located beneath the fuel effect. To gain
access to the lamps, remove the coal and place in a
container, lift out the plastic fuel effect to reveal the lamps.
Replace the defective lamp with a 240V E14 SES clear

Safety cut-out

An automatic safety cut-out will switch off the heater if for
any reason it overheats. This could occur for instance, if the
air inlet or outlet was restricted in any way. The cut-out will
continue to operate until the restriction has been removed,
after which normal operation will resume.
Should the cut-out continue to operate repeatedly, switch
off and seek service advice.

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.
