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, if a High Level or Thermatronic Electronic
Control System was ordered.
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 or Pebble fuel effects, manufactured from refractory fibre, are supplied with this appliance. Do not use real coals or pebbles
as this is dangerous. If the simulated fuel bed components need renewing please obtain suitable replacements from a Nu-Flame
Stockist. Light coloured Pebbles can be prone to discolouration, this is quite normal.

Fireplace Opening.
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.
It is quite normal for the fire to make popping and burbling sounds when in use, as would a solid fuel fire.
