CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE STOVE
Important Safety.
Before undertaking maintenance or replacing the light bulb(s) always disconnect
the stove from the electricity supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allowing the
stove to cool.
How do I Clean my stove?
The stove and plastic parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth, do not use
polishes or abrasive materials.
I have a problem with my stove!
1. My stove is on but there is no light / low light.
!
Try adjusting the flame dimmer control (See figure 3). Alternatively this is possibly
a light bulb failure. Remove the light bulb as in the following section and check it in a
table lamp that is known to work. If it does not work in the table lamp then it needs
replacing as in the following sections.
The light bulbs fitted to this stove are 25Watt E14, 230Volt Edison fitting, candle style
with a clear finish. Due to the indeterminate life span and ease of replacement, they are
specifically excluded from the guarantee.
To replace the light bulb.
! Open the door by pulling on the
handle.
! Remove the three screws on the
front of the fuel basket. Behind the
basket is a black metal strip which
holds the fuel effect in place. Remove
this by lifting up (See figure 4).
! Move the fuel bed forward and
upward out of the way; you will have
to hold the fuel effect up whilst
replacing the light bulbs. It may be
helpful to get another person to do
this for you.
! Remove the faulty bulb by screwing the bulb anti - clockwise (See figure 5).

Figure 4. Removing the black metal strip

Fit the new bulb.
! Fit the new bulb by screwing it
clockwise (See figure 5).
! Relocate the fuel effect.
! Relocate the black metal strip. The
folded edge should be on the bottom.
! Secure using the three screws
removed previously.
2. My stove is switched on but there
is no light, fan or heat.
The first thing to do is check the wall
socket. To do this plug in a known
working appliance. If the appliance you
have plugged in works then there is a
good chance that the problem lies with the 13 Amp fuse in the stove plug. If either fuse
or socket is suspected, have them checked by an electrician.
3. My stove is on but there is no heat.
! Check that the thermostat on the stove is set above ambient room temperature.
! Alternatively a cut out device is fitted to the stove to prevent damage due to over
heating. If it operates due to an obstruction in the airflow, the stove must be turned off
and allowed to cool for 15 minutes and the obstruction removed before restarting.
4. I Have a problem that is different to those in the previous examples 1- 3.
