Care
Warning: Before undertaking any maintenance or cleaning disconnect appliance from main supply. Only competent
persons should service / repair appliances.
General Suite Care – not glass
To maintain the appearance of you new suite we recommend that it is dusted using a lint free cloth. NEVER use any form of
abrasives or a DAMP cloth on the surround.
The area around the fire should be kept free of any materials such as lint or house dust (i.e. animal hair/ carpet fibres) that
could be drawn into the internal workings of the appliance and hence affect the performance. We recommend that you clean
around the fan grille housing at regular intervals. This can be done using standard vacuum cleaner and suitable attachment.
Glass Care
Periodically it may be necessary to remove the glass screen for cleaning, this is achieved by first disconnecting the
appliance from the mains supply, then remove the brackets in the top left and right hand corner of the glass screen by
unscrewing the 4 screws (2 per side) whilst supporting the glass from the front. With the brackets removed, lift the glass
panel upwards and towards to remove the panel from the fire. And place in a clean, soft, safe location for cleaning. When
cleaning glass panels use a slightly damp cloth. Do not use washing powders or any other substance containing abrasives
since these substances scratch glass. Refitting is the reversal of this procedure.
