4.14 Cleaning Instructions.
Keeping your fire unit clean keeps its efficiency, so it is important to clean your unit
regularly as dust and debris can block the burner workings and add to combustion
staining.
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.
NOTE - Replacement of the matting can only be done at the CVO factory.
If the fibre matting requires cleaning use a very soft brush, gently brush any debris
from the top.
After ensuring that, no damage has been done to the surface of the fire, the unit is
ready to re-ignite when ready.
Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned with warm soapy water; a suitable metal
polish should only be used for the stainless steel parts. Care should be taken
when polishing the burner shell. It is very important that no polish should be used
on the surface of the burner (black matting) No residue of polish should be left as
this may cause unpleasant odours and could lead to staining within the burner
opening when the appliance is used.
Cleaning brushed stainless steel components - Fine (0000 grade) wire wool can be
used to remove slight scratches from brushed steel should they occur. Please note
that you must always rub the metal in the direction of the grain.
Do not rub in a circular motion or across the grain.
In the interest of personal safety, please do not attempt to clean the metalwork
when the fire is ignited or the metalwork is still hot.
Important: The pilot and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also an
atmosphere sensing device. If for any reason any part of the pilot assembly is to be
replaced, the entire assembly including the pilot burner, thermocouple electrode
and injector must also be exchanged. The atmosphere sensing device is not
adjustable and must not be disabled.
Every unit has been designed, manufactured and type tested to ensure that it
conforms to the current National and European DFE (decorative fuel effect gas fire)
legislation, low voltage directive (LVD) and the electro magnetic compatibility
directive (EMC), (which is required for remote control units only).
