NOTES

The installation of this fire MUST only be carried out by a competent person (such as a CORGI registered fitter)
in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, the relevant British Standards, Codes
of Practice, the Building Regulations and the manufacturers’ instructions.

Failure to comply with the above recommendations could lead to prosecution and invalidate the appliance
warranty.

Please ensure you are handed all of the manufacturers documents on completion of the installation. This will
include these instructions.

Always keep a note of the installer’s name, address and CORGI registration number, the original purchase receipt
and the date of installation for future reference.

The fire and flue should be serviced regularly to ensure continued safe operation. See the servicing section for
further details. Frequency of service will depend on use, but MUST be carried out at least once annually.

Parts of this appliance become naturally hot during use. It is recommended that a suitable fire guard conforming
to BS 8423 is used, especially where young children, the elderly, or infirm are concerned.

Combustible items, such as flooring and furniture, and soft wall coverings (such as blown vinyl or embossed
paper) may discolour if fitted too close to the fire. See relevant section for further details on clearances to
combustibles. No combustible material or flooring should protrude onto the hearth.

DO NOT burn any foreign material on this fire, the coals must be of the correct type and laid out in accordance
with the relevant section of these instructions. Failure to do so could create a hazard or lead to sooting.

Before the appliance is installed, the chimney should be swept. All flues should be checked by the installer to
ensure there are no defects or obstructions that may prevent the flow of combustion products.

This appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which will shut down the fire if abnormal flue conditions
occur. It is NOT a substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.

The fire is only suitable for use with the gas type for which it is supplied.

FIREFRONT

This fire is supplied with a particular style of firefront. Use of the firefront will ensure an adequate airflow under
the firebed for the correct functioning of this appliance. Compliance with safety standards cannot be guaranteed
if another style of front is used.
