•
As with any gas appliance, this fire must be installed by a competent person. In the
United Kingdom, installation must be in accordance with the latest edition of the
Gas Safety (installation & use) Regulations.
•
In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all national and
local regulations in force.
•
Although this appliance does not have to be on a non-combustible hearth, it must
stand on a hard level surface.
It must not stand on or near a carpet, rug or other soft surface which could interfere
with the flow of air into and through the bottom of the heater. The floor must be
free from such soft-surface floor coverings over the full width of the appliance
side-to-side for at least 300mm forward from the wall at the back of the fire.
•
The minimum height from the top surface of the hearth to the underside of any
shelf made from wood or other combustible material and which is not more than
150mm deep is 780mm.
For shelves deeper than 150mm add 12.5mm to the above clearance for every
25mm of additional shelf depth.
•
A minimum clearance of 51mm should be maintained each side of the fire for
servicing access.
•
The fire should not be used without the fuel bed and ceramic rear firebox wall in
their correct positions or if they are damaged.
•
The fire must never be used without the glass window panel in position or with
damaged glass. If the glass is damaged, the fire must be switched off and not used
until the panel is replaced.
•
Never put any paper or other material on the fire. Never add any loose coals on to
the ceramic fuel piece supplied with the fire. This could cause a safety hazard.
•
It should be appreciated that although this appliance conforms to all the applicable
standards, it is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot.
A suitable guard that complies with BS 6539 or 6778 should be used for the
protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also
recommended for the protection of pet animals.
