Replacing the batteries
As stated above, the batteries are of the nickel
– metal - hydride type which have a
long life and are able to be re-charged many times. Eventually, due to age and use,
a point will come when they need recharging at inconveniently short intervals and
they will have to be replaced. The batteries are AA size and should be of 1.2 volts
and at least 1300mAH capacity. This type of battery is readily available through retail
and trade outlets.

To change the batteries
a) When the fire is cold lift away the ash pan cover.
b) Locate the battery pack under its heat shield.
c) Invert the battery pack and bend the securing tab outwards. Slide the battery holder
out of the heat shield.
d) Remove the batteries from their holder and replace with new batteries. Observe the
correct polarity of the batteries in their holder.
e) Slide the battery holder back into the heat shield and re-bend the securing tab.
f) Plug the charger into the battery pack and to the mains. The red LED on the charger
should come on. If it does not, check the polarity of the batteries and all connections.
Charge the batteries overnight, or as indicated by the instructions that were included
with the new batteries.
CLEANING YOUR FIRE
1
Ensure that the fire is cold before undertaking any cleaning. Remember that heat is
retained for some time after the fire is switched off. In normal use your fire requires
only minimal cleaning. Soot may form on the logs but this is generally harmless and
can easily be removed by lifting the relevant logs from the fire and cleaning them
with a soft brush. If it is necessary to remove all logs for cleaning then any soot or
debris should be removed from the ceramic element and from the burner.
2
As with all metal products, the trim on the fire may tarnish over a period of time. The
metal finish is covered with a lacquer and should only be washed with mild
detergent. On no account use any abrasives or metal polish on the trim.
3
If large pieces of debris are found in the fire, sufficient to alter the appearance or
operation of the appliance, the chimney / flue should be inspected and the appliance
serviced before further use.
4
In any event, the chimney should be checked annually to ensure continued
clearance of the combustion products and that there is no excessive build-up of soot.
