Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: simply place the unit centrally in your fireplace opening and connect the 1.5m lead to a standard wall socket. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit for the fan to circulate air. To care for your Welford log basket, always ensure the power is switched off and the unit has completely cooled before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to dust the exterior metal surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the black finish. Periodically check the air intake and outlet vents to ensure they are free from dust buildup, which will keep the fan motor running efficiently.
