The appliance is not fitted with an integral guard. It is recommended that a guard be
used for the protection of young children, the elderly or infirm and also for normal use
conforming to BS8423 2002, such that access to the flame is minimised.
It is advised not to stand too close to the appliance for prolonged periods of time
loose clothing is particularly at risk of burning due to the presence of an unguarded
flame.
It is also advised against placing combustible materials directly in front of the
appliance. Floor coverings, such as carpets, are considered to be acceptable.
Due to the newness of materials, the fire may give off a slight smell for a period of
time after commissioning. This is quite normal and any odours should dissipate within
a few hours of operation.
