SECTION 3: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
DISCONNECT THE FIRE FROM THE SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING OR
CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE CLEANING
Warning: If the air inlet becomes covered with dust the fire may cut out. This is a
safety feature. Refer to Safety Cut-out information for further action.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Your electric fire operates using a rotary fan. Due to the working nature of this fan it is inevitable
that a build-up of LINT, or general house dust (i.e.) carpet fibres or animal fur etc. will from time to
time accumulate around the inlet and outlet grills. Therefore it is recommended that regular clean-
ing of this area is undertaken using a standard vacuum cleaner attachment.
For safety reasons please ensure that the fire is switched off and has had time to cool down before
cleaning.
GENERAL CLEANING:
The fire should be cleaned with an antistatic cloth to prevent dust being attracted to the high gloss
surfaces of the fire - do not use polish! For difficult to remove marks such as finger marks it is rec-
ommended that a chamois leather slightly damp is used.
Care should be taken when cleaning around metal parts; non-painted metal parts may have sharp
edges.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS
Decorative parts:
Under no circumstances use an abrasive cleaner on bright surfaces. Such use will cause
permanent damage to the appearance of your fire.
It is important to use care in cleaning. Dusting or wiping with a damp cloth is recommended in
order to preserve the finish.
Fuel Bed:
Clean with a vacuum cleaner attachment or a soft brush.
Light and Flame Effects:
No maintenance should be necessary on the light / flame effect, illumination is by LED’s which
should not require any attention for the life of the fire except for damage to the LED’s or failure of
the LED power supply — in which case the fire must be returned to Imperial fires for replacement
of the damaged / faulty part(s).
