General Information
A qualified GAS SAFE registered installer is required to fully install the
appliance, failure to do this may render the appliance dangerous and will
invalidate the warranty.
This fire is intended for decorative purposes. Any purpose-provided ventilation
should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free from obstruction. The fire
should be serviced regularly by a qualified person.
The chimney should be swept before the appliance is installed, and should be
swept and inspected regularly to ensure that all of the products of combustion
are entering the flue and there is no excessive build up of soot. Once the flue
and fire units have been checked and remedial action taken, the fire is ignited
in the manner depicted in section ‘Lighting the fire’ – see page 44.
This fire should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
Do not throw rubbish et cetera upon the burner surface area or otherwise
disturb the fuel bed. Debris from any source, or soot formed, should be
removed from time to time, see ‘Cleaning instructions’ – see page 55.
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
disperse within a few hours of operation. Do not use the fire when decorating or
burning scented candles. This will cause additional smells and staining on walls.
For some countries a purpose provided air supply must be fitted in accordance
with National Regulations. For the UK a 100cm2 air vent to the outside is
required with model FR850-V (check data plate).
A qualified person should service the fire regularly – we recommend an annual
service to ensure the gas fire works efficiently, reliably and safely.
Fire Guards: It is recommended that a fireguard conforming to BS6539 or
BS6778 is used for the protection of young children, the elderly and infirm.
Pilot Assembly: The pilot light and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is
also an atmosphere sensing device which shuts off both the main burner and
pilot flame if evacuation of the combustion products is interrupted. The most
likely cause is a blocked chimney. If the fire shuts itself off, restart the fire
following the procedure in section ‘Lighting the fire’ on page 44. If the fire
continues to shut itself off do not use the fire, and have the flue/chimney and
fire checked by a suitably qualified person. The pilots ODS (Oxygen depletion
sensor) must not be put out of operation. The user must not adjust the pilot. If
any of its parts are damaged and need to be exchanged the original
manufacturers parts must be used.
