SECTION 4
MAINTENANCE
Servicing Notes
Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a CORGI
registered engineer.
This is a condition of the Kinder Fires extended
guarantee schemes.
The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for
accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for a positive up-draught in the
chimney.
The condition of the log pieces should be checked and
if necessary the whole
set should be replaced with a genuine replacement set.
The burner assembly is designed to be removed as a complete unit for ease of
access.
After any servicing work a gas tightness check must always be
carried out.
