OPERATING THE FIRE

Controls

The on/off push button switch is located on the top right hand side of the fire. Pushed in, it will illuminate the fire with no heat, so that you may enjoy the flame effect all year round. Pushed again the switch will return to its outer position and turn the fire off.

To use the heating element (the heater element is under the hood), press the button marked with one red bar.

The fire is 2kW and is thermostatically controlled. The thermostat is positioned nest to the heat switch.

We suggest that you turn the thermostat up to the maximum. Then, once the required room temperature is achieved, turn the thermostat towards minimum until you hear a click and the heater turns off. The thermostat will then regulate the room temperature automatically.

Please note that there can be several 0C drop or rise in temperature to activate or deactivate the thermostat. The temperature is taken from near to the fire and therefore some fluctuations may arise. Other situations such as the size of the room, the airflow within the room, and the proximity to other heat sources may cause fluctuations in the thermostat’s efficiency.

Automatic Safety Cut Out

This heater is fitted with an automatic cut out to prevent any damage due to overheating. The heater will automatically cut out if the airflow is obstructed. To reset the fire, switch off the fire, remove the cause of overheating and allow a suitable cooling period then switch the fire back on.

Noise

As with all fan driven appliances the fire will make some noise due to the movements of air occurring, this is perfectly normal.

MAINTENANCE

Before any maintenance / cleaning is undertaken always disconnect the fire from the power supply.

Replacing light bulbs

Your fire comes fitted with two 60W clear bayonet cap bulbs. Replacements are available from good hardware/large DIY stores. Allow a suitable time for the bulbs to cool and remove all the pebbles. Then unscrew the knob at the base of the fire and remove the fret and filter. Now the bulbs can be changed (use bulbs as described above). Please note that replacement bulbs are not covered by the guarantee of the product.

Cleaning

The fire can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. If you need to remove fingerprints from the stainless steel, use a special stainless steel cleaner, or a little baby oil or WD40 on a soft cloth.
