Thermostat Operation

The thermostat controls the heat output according to
the room temperature. This ensures that the appliance
will not produce heat unnecessar ily when the room is
warm.
To set the temperature you require, turn the
thermostat knob fully clockwise to max position.
When the room is warm enough, turn the knob back
slowly until the thermostat just clicks off. The
appliance will now maintain your selected
temperature.

Note: Once the thermostat has switched the appliance OFF
it may take some time before the appliance comes back on.
This does not mean that the appliance is faulty.

Thermal Safety Cut-out

A thermal safety cut-out is incor porated in the
appliance to prevent damage due to overheating.

This can happen if the heat outlet is restricted in any
way. The appliance will switch on once the
obstruction has been removed and the appliance has
cooled. If the cut-out continues to operate
intermittently, the appliance should be switched off
and a service ag ent contacted.

WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT

FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE

ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE.

The Coal Effect lamps can be replaced by removing
the 2 self tapping screws located at the front of the
effect (see fig 4). The screws can be accessed by
removing 2 plastic stoppers situated between the glass
door and the lower door (pag e 3 fig 1) and inserting a
small Pozidrive screwdriver through the front casting
locating the self tapping screws.

Lift the fuel effect up lightly to clear the ledge at the
base of the glass viewing screen, tilt one end up fir st
