Operation

The unique flame effect may be enjoyed whether or not the heating elements are in operation.

Controls

The heater controls are located on the left hand side of the canopy heat outlet - see Fig. 1.

Three switches provide a choice of heat settings.

A switch is in the ON position when the red indicator mark on the switch is visible.

Safety cut-out

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.

Switch 1 - Controls the electricity supply to the heater and the flame effect.

Note: This switch must be in the ON position for the heater to operate.

Switch 2 - Provides 1kw heat output.

Switch 3 - Provides 2kw heat output with switch 2.

Setting the Thermostat

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.

Maintenance

WARNING – BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING, REMOVE PLUG OR DISCONNECT FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

Lamp Replacement

There are two lamps located beneath the fuel effect. To gain access to the lamp, the grate / fuel effect secured by two screws, must be removed (see Fig.1).

Remove the coal and carefully lift the grate / fuel effect clear and set aside.

Replace the defective lamp with a 240V 40 Watt E14 SES clear candle lamp.

Replace grate/fuel effect, secure with screws.

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.
