This appliance is for DECORATIVE PURPOSE ONLY and is manufactured to the requirements of the current issue of EN 509.
This appliance is for use on NATURAL GAS (G20) ONLY, at a supply pressure of 20 mbar +/- 1mbar.
This
appliance
MUST
be installed by a REGISTERED INSTALLER. Failure to do so may lead to prosecution.
Ventilation for this appliance must be fitted in accordance with the rules in force and checked regularly for obstructions.
If the appliance is installed in GREAT BRITAIN, additional ventilation is required.
If the appliance is installed in IRELAND, a minimal cross sectional area of 100cm

is required.
Any permanent flue restriction must be removed and any variable dampers locked fully open or removed. If the flue has been used
previously for solid fuel, it MUST be swept PRIOR to installation.
Care must be taken on the selection of wall coverings within close proximity of the appliance as some vinyl and embossed materials
may become discoloured by convected heat. Soft furnishings must be kept clear from the radiant heat of the appliance and from
impinging the hearth area. Combustible materials must not be put on or left in the hearth area nor should the coal bed be used to burn
rubbish or other materials.
This appliance uses fuel effect components, gaskets and insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre, (RCF), which are
man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive
exposure to such material may cause temporary irritation to the eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a
minimum.
This appliance is fitted with an ODS, a spillage monitoring system which operates if the evacuation of products is interrupted (i.e.
blocked or incorrect flueing). If the appliance repeatedly `
goes out’
it may indicate a problem and the installer or specialist should be
consulted before further use.
The minimum temperature rating of any back panel or hearth must have a minimum fire resistance rating of CLASS 0 (100
o
C).
Materials used in the manufacture of this appliance
DO NOT
contain asbestos.
When fitting or servicing this appliance, care must be taken when handling sheet metal parts to avoid any possibility of personal injury.
If any home improvements i.e. double glazing are carried out after this appliance has been installed, you should contact your
Registered Installer and have the operation of the flue checked.
