FFD: Flame Failure Device
Please note that this appliance has been fitted with a flame failure device for your added safety and
protection.
What is a Flame Failure Device?
A Flame Failure Device is part of the gas burner system which detects if the flame is extinguished and then
cuts off the gas supply to that burner. This is an additional safety device that has been fitted to your
appliance.
Why is there a Flame Failure Device?
CORGI has issued new regulations to its members, effective from 1st January 2008, stating that all gas
cooking appliances (ovens and hobs) for use in flats and multiple person dwellings cannot be installed
unless they contain a Flame Failure Device.
This appliance has been tested and certified to meet all applicable UK electrical and gas safety standards.
This appliance must be installed and connected in accordance with current installation regulations by a
CORGI registered gas fitter or qualified service engineer.
If it is not installed and repaired properly you could be putting yourself and others in danger. It will also
invalidate the guarantee.
