Maintenance Features
General Cleaning:
- WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
- Use a soft, clean duster for general cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Clean the glass viewing screen carefully with a soft cloth; do not use proprietary glass cleaners.
- Use the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to clean the outlet grille of the fan heater to remove dust or fluff.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lamps:
- The fire is fitted with LED lamps, which are maintenance-free and should not require replacing during the product's lifetime.
Thermal Safety Cut-out:
- The appliance has a built-in overheat cut-out that switches off automatically in case of a fault. If this occurs, switch off the appliance or disconnect the mains plug. After a short cooling period, the appliance is ready for use again. If the fault reoccurs, contact your local dealer.
