Battery Information.

1. Unclip the battery cover on the back of the remote
control. (See Fig.7)
2. Install AAA batteries into the remote control.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Discard leaky batteries.
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to
provincial and local regulations.
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different
battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are
not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fire, or if
an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be
recharged.
Thermal safety cut-out
A thermal safety cut-out is incorporated in the fan heater
to prevent damage due to overheating. This can happen if
the heat outlet was restricted in any way or if the chimney
flue has not been blocked off effectively. If the cut-out
operates, unplug the heater from the socket outlet and
allow approximately 10 minutes before reconnecting.
Before switching the heater back on remove any
obstruction that may be restricting the heat outlet, then
continue normal operation.
Tips for using your appliance.
1. Only pull out the drawer when its time to refill the
water tank or change a lamp, otherwise it may lead to
excess water in the sump and reduced flame effect. If this
happens empty the water from the sump as instructed
under 'Maintenance' .
2. With the flame setting on minimum the unit will use
approximately 40ml of water per hour and will last 3 times
as long than when it is at maximum flame setting.
3. Do not tilt or move the fire while there is water in the
tank or sump.
4. Make sure that the fire is on a level floor.
5. The flame control knob 'C' Fig.2 may be turned up or
down to give a more realistic effect.
6. Sometimes the flames appear more real when the flame
control knob is turned down.
7. Give the flame generator some time to react to
changes you may make on the flame control knob.
