DeLonghi Electric Focal Point Fire - Manual (Page 3)

OPERATING THE FIRE
Controls
The on/off push button switch is located on the top right hand side of the
fire. Pushed in, it will illuminate the fire with no heat, so that you may enjoy
the flame effect all year round. Pushed again the switch will return to its
outer position and turn the fire off.
To use the heating element (the heater element is under the hood), press
the button marked with one red bar.
The fire is 2kW and is thermostatically controlled. The thermostat is
positioned nest to the heat switch.
We suggest that you turn the thermostat up to the maximum. Then, once
the required room temperature is achieved, turn the thermostat towards
minimum until you hear a click and the heater turns off. The thermostat will
then regulate the room temperature automatically.
Please note that there can be several 0 C drop or rise in temperature to
activate or deactivate the thermostat. The temperature is taken from near to
the fire and therefore some fluctuations may arise. Other situations such as
the size of the room, the airflow within the room, and the proximity to other
heat sources may cause fluctuations in the thermostat’s efficiency.
Automatic Safety Cut Out
This heater is fitted with an automatic cut out to prevent any damage due
to overheating. The heater will automatically cut out if the airflow is
obstructed. To reset the fire, switch off the fire, remove the cause of
overheating and allow a suitable cooling period then switch the fire back
on.
Noise
As with all fan driven appliances the fire will make some noise due to the
movements of air occurring, this is perfectly normal.
MAINTENANCE
Before any maintenance / cleaning is undertaken always disconnect
the fire from the power supply.
Replacing light bulbs
Your fire comes fitted with two 60W clear bayonet cap bulbs.
Replacements are available from good hardware/large DIY stores. Allow a
suitable time for the bulbs to cool and remove all the pebbles. Then
unscrew the knob at the base of the fire and remove the fret and filter.
Now the bulbs can be changed (use bulbs as described above). Please
note that replacement bulbs are not covered by the guarantee of the
product.
Cleaning
The fire can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. If you need to remove
fingerprints from the stainless steel, use a special stainless steel cleaner,
or a little baby oil or WD40 on a soft cloth.
