If a Gas leak is found or suspected turn off the gas supply at the
meter and contact your installer or gas emergency service.
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future
reference.
The chimney must be tested to ensure that it functions properly.
The regulator and thermostat circuit must also be checked and a test
must be performed to see that the appliance ignites properly.
Have the flue swept each year before winter arrives. Check that it is
working correctly before use.
Never place flammable material or rubbish on the burner or log set.
Do not place curtains, clothing, laundry, furniture or other flammable
materials nearby the appliance. The required minimum distance is 100
cm.
The appliance has been designed for heating purposes. This means
that all surfaces, including the glass, can become very warm (over
100 degrees) An exception to this are the control buttons.
IMPORTANT
A suitable Fireguard conforming to Nation Regulations should be used
with this appliance to protect children, the elderly or infirm. Care
should also be taken with pets.
In your own interest and that of safety, all gas appliances must be
installed by competent persons. Installation must be in accordance
with National Regulations. CORGI registered installers are required to
work to recognised standards
If the glass pane is broken, it should be replaced before the
appliance is turned on.
The VASKA C11 is available for use with natural gas and should not
be converted for use with another type of gas.
The construction of the appliance must not be modified.
The appliance may only be repaired using original parts.
We recommend that you burn the appliance at its highest setting for
a few hours after installing it, ensuring that there is good ventilation,
so that the protective coating inside the appliance has a chance to
evaporate.
We also recommend that you completely clean the front glass after
burning the appliance the first week.
Provide sufficient insulation between the appliance and a natural
stone fireplace.
Please bear in mind that the inspection screen must remain
removable for servicing purposes.
Note:
Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs.
Therefore it is of importance that you do not use the appliance shortly
after a renovation of the home. Because of the natural circulation of air,
moist and volatile components from paint, building materials, carpet
etc. will be attracted. These components can settle themselves down
onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown
vinyl wallpaper placed too near to the appliance may become scorched
or discoloured. This should be born in mind when installing the
appliance.
