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.

qualified specialist engineer.

build up of soot. If there is, the appliance must be serviced.
q.
Simulated logs and simulated bark chips, manufactured from refractory fibre, are supplied with this appliance. Do not use real
logs or real bark chips as this is dangerous. If the simulated logs or simulated bark chips need renewing please obtain suitable

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.
