OWNER GUIDE
Page 46
Do
provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards,
it is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot).
Do
wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out).
Do
get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected
by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do
provide a minimum side clearance as detailed below:
The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the fascia to a corner wall having
combustible material or any other combustible surface which projects beyond the front
of the appliance is 100mm.
For access purposes a 10mm clearance to non-combustible surfaces is
recommended on the left side of the appliance, on the right side the recommended
clearance is 50mm for access to the slider control.
Please bear this in mind if ever you are altering the room.
Don’t
hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Don’t
add any extra fuel effect pieces above the number stated in the ceramic fuel
effect guide. This could cause a safety hazard. The ceramic fuel effect guide should
have been attached to, or placed inside this guide by the installer.
Don’t
put paper or any other material on the fire.
Don’t
place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the hearth
(where fitted).
Don’t
attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to
cool completely.
Don’t use the fire without the window assembly fitted or if the window assembly
is broken or damaged. The fire should be turned off and not used until the
window unit is refitted with an authorised replacement.
Important: The canopy / louvres and upper horizontal casting area are classed
as working surfaces. This means that they get very hot and are NOT to be
touched during operation. When the fire is turned off these areas will take
longer to cool.
