on the fire. We recommend that a Fireguard conforming to BS8423 should be used for protection of Young Children the
Elderly, Infirm and Pets.
h.
The appliance should be Serviced Annually in accordance with the Gas Safety & Uses Regulations.
i.
Where the flue has been used for Solid Fuel it must be swept before Installation.
j.
If at any time you smell gas or fumes turn the fire off and contact your Installer.
k.
These Instructions must be left with the User for future reference.
l.
During its first period of use any protective coatings and oils will burn out of the appliance and it is wise to ventilate the room for the
first hour of use.
m.
This appliance is fitted with an oxygen depletion sensing system, which automatically shuts off the gas supply to the fire if the
oxygen level in the room is depleted, due to lack of primary air, or obstructed flue (blocked chimney) that would lead to incomplete
combustion of the gas. It must not be tampered with and only replaced with a genuine Nu-Flame ODS.
n.
In the event that the fire shuts down for any reason, attempt to restart it. If there is a continuing problem, call in a properly
qualified specialist engineer.
o.
There are no user replaceable parts in the appliance apart from the batteries, for the Thermatronic Electronic Control System.
p.
The chimney should be regularly checked to ensure that all the products of combustion are entering the flue & that there is no build
up of soot. If there is, the appliance must be serviced.
q.
Coal & Wood Effect Parts are manufactured from RCF (Refractory Ceramic Fibre are supplied with this appliance, see Health &
Safety guidance).
Do not use real coals or wood as this is dangerous. If the simulated fuel bed components need renewing please obtain suitable
replacements from a Nu-Flame Stockist.
r.
The fire must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and these Instructions it must be installed in front of a fireplace or
builders opening on a non combustible hearth as detailed in these Instructions.
s.
No
combustible materials e.g. curtains must be closer than 500mm to the fire.
t.
For Fire Surround Applications a 150mm (6”) combustible shelf can be fitted above the fire provided it is 750mm above the Hearth.
u.
The Fire can be installed into a suitably designed fire surround with a 150
º
C Rating.
v.
Explain to the customer that over time some wall staining will occur above the fire and this is due primarily to particles of dust
present in the hot convection air circulating up and over the fire/surround and sticking to the wall.
! IMPORTANT NOTE ! THE GLASS PANEL ON THIS FIRE WILL BECOME VERY HOT DURING
OPERATION - SEE ITEM ‘g.’ ABOVE.
It is quite normal for the fire to make popping and burbling sounds when in use, as would a solid fuel fire.

Health & Safety Advice
Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF)
Advice when working with Fuel Bed Components including Installing, Servicing and Disposal.
The Fuel Effect parts and possible Linings of this fire are made from Refractory Ceramic Fibre (R.C.F.) a Class 2 Carcinogen which is
a material designed for this Application. Excessive exposure to these types of materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin
and respiratory tract. Therefore take care when handling these articles to ensure dust is kept to a minimum.
It is not necessary to wear protective clothing when handling these articles but we do recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules
of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area, and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
To minimise the release of RCF fibres during installation and servicing a HEPA filtered vacuum is recommended to remove any dust
accumulated in and around the fire both before and after working on it.
When Servicing and if replacing these parts we do not recommend they are broken up but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene
Bag and labelled as “RCF waste”. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a local licensed landfill site.
