Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning the Gas Fire Unit
Note:
due to the surface area and flatness of the ceramic burner
matting, it is inevitable that dust, debris from the chimney and
combustion by-products will accumulate, consequently the surface area
of the fire unit should be cleaned at regular intervals.
The most effective method of dust/debris removal is achieved with the
aid of a vacuum unit, however, great care must be taken to ensure that
there is no contact between the vacuum unit and the surface area of the
fire unit, as damage to the matting material will result in the complete
replacement of the matting panel.
Turn off the fire unit and allow it to cool.
Once cool, using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush head gently
remove any debris/dust from the surface of the fire unit.
After ensuring that no damage has been done to the surface of the fire,
the unit is ready to re-ignite.
Cleaning Stone Components
Once installed, the unit should be dusted periodically to remove
naturally collecting dust particles from its surfaces - this can be done
using a duster or vacuum cleaner.
Note:
where a vacuum unit is used it should have a soft brush head to
prevent the risk of damage or marking to the unit.
Removing Spillages
Where a liquid has been spilled onto the surface of the unit, it should be
removed quickly to prevent staining or serious damage. A solution of
warm water and organic cleaner will give best results. Apply the mixture
with a dabbing motion, using a sponge. The sponge is squeezed dry and
used to dab up the cleaning mixture from the surface until all evidence
of the spillage has been removed. The surface can then be allowed to
dry naturally.
Removing Scuff Marks
Removal of scuff marks should be carried out in the same manner as
above if attempting to remove a spillage. However on Limestone it may
be necessary to use a scotch brite pad in a slight scrubbing action to
remove stubborn marks. If the scuff mark persists it may be necessary
to use a stronger cleaner. Please contact CVO Fire for details.
