FUMES EMITTING FROM THE FIRE
It is quite normal for fumes to come from the fire when it is first used and we recommend the area is well ventilated.
a.
Check to ensure the Pressure Relief Door, at the top of the fire, is closed - see Section 15.
b.
Check that the Glass Panel is fitted securely and sealed.
c.
Sometimes fumes from the fire can be mistaken for odours that will naturally burn off the fire when it is first operated from new
or during periods of little use and we recommend that the fire is run at maximum with doors/windows open to ventilate the room.
See Important Note in Section 18 under Testing, Commissioning & Use.
d.
Fumes can be coming specifically from inferior Fire Surround materials e.g. resins from conglomerate materials which
we do not recommend rather than natural surround materials.
e.
Fumes can also come form materials like the resins used with Fibre Glass if this type of product as been used.
IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE FOUND ON THE GLASS PANEL IT MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE THE FIRE IS USED.
ALWAYS CONDUCT A GAS SOUNDNESS CHECK AFTER SERVICING.
ALWAYS RESEAL THE PRESSURE TEST POINT AND CHECK THAT IT IS GAS TIGHT.
(This accounts for a lot of recalls.)
ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE GLASS IS CLEAN AND FREE FROM FINGERPRINTS.
(This accounts for a lot of recalls).
Note: Marks on the Glass Panel are Not Covered by the Manufactures Warranty.
