Do
always use a fireguard complying with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly, the infirm or pet animals. The cast iron top, front, rear and sides
of this stove are considered to be working surfaces and so will become very hot when
in use. Always take care when using this appliance.
Do
wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the gas stove is switched off or
the flames are extinguished for any reason (Your gas stove is fitted with a safety
device that will automatically shut off the gas supply to the gas stove, if for any
reason, the flame goes out. If this operates then wait at least ten minutes before
operating the stove).
Do
get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your gas stove. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected
by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do not use this stove with the door open or with the glass panel damaged or
removed. The door should always be secured shut (See “Cleaning your stove”).
If the window is damaged or will not close securely the stove must be turned
off and not used until the window is changed or corrected by a competent
service engineer.
Do not
hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the gas stove.
Do not
put more loose ceramic coals on the gas stove than the number given in the
guide supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. This may have been attached to or placed
inside this guide. Never use any ceramic coals other than those authorised for this
gas stove. Incorrect combustion and subsequent health hazard could result.
Do not
put paper or other materials into your gas stove.
Do not
use the gas stove with damaged base ceramics.
Do not
place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the hearth.
Do not
attempt to clean or service the gas stove until it has been switched off and
allowed to cool completely.
Do not
leave the stove on if the house is left unoccupied for a long period. We
recommend that the stove is turned fully off.
