IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
This appliance has a ceramic Fire-bed arrangement; this contains Refractory
Ceramic Fibres, which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive
exposure to these materials can cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory
organs. Hence we recommend that when handling these materials the release
of dust should be kept to a minimum. During installation and servicing we
recommend that a HEPA filtered vacuum be used to remove any dust and
soot in and around the fire. If any of the ceramic fire-bed components need
to be replaced we recommend that the removed parts be sealed in a heavy-
duty polythene bag, and be labelled as RCF waste. RCF is not “Hazardous
waste” and can be disposed of at a licensed tipping site for the disposal of
industrial waste.
The appliance incorporates a permanent pilot. This is located on the front
