If this fire front is to be fitted to a Glow-worm back
boiler WITHOUT a combustion products discharge
safety device please read the supplementary instructions
at the back of this booklet.

The instructions consist of three parts, Installation and
Servicing Instructions for the Back Boiler Unit,
Installation and Servicing Instructions for the Fire Front
and Instructions for Use, which includes the Guarantee
Registration Card.  The instructions are an integral part
of the appliance and must, to comply with the current
issue of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations, be handed to the user on completion of the
installation.

This Glow-worm gas fire front is to be used with a
specially designed Glow-worm Back Boiler Unit only.

The fire front is delivered packed in one cardboard
carton, which contains all the parts necessary for the
installation of the fire front, see Section 4.

If the back boiler and fire front are to be installed at the
same time please read both sets of installation
instructions before starting.

Wherever possible, all materials, appliances and
components to be used shall comply with the
requirements of applicable British Standards.

Where no British Standards exist, materials and
equipment should be fit for their purpose and of suitable
quality and workmanship.

1 General Notes and Information

1.1 Important Notice

The fire is fitted with a safety device which will shut it
down if there is a lack of oxygen.  If the fire shuts down
frequently for no apparent reason the first things to be
checked are the chimney and air inlets into the room.
An additional cause could be that the filter, in the gas tap
has become blocked.  Any problems found must be put
right, by a competent person, before the fire is used
again.

This fire front is for use only on G20 gas.

Sheet Metal Parts

WARNING.  When installing or servicing this fire front
care should be taken when handling sheet metal parts, to
avoid any possibility of personal injury.
