12. SERVICING AND PARTS REPLACEMENT
Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing (The appliance
inlet "T" connector incorporates an isolating valve) and ensure that the appliance
is allowed to cool completely.
It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected and
the catchment space behind the closure plate checked and cleared of any debris.
The closure plate must be resealed to the wall after checking.
This product uses a fuel effect containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these
materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these articles to
ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the
release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during
installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered
vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire
before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is
classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a
landfill licenced to accept such waste. Protective clothing is not required
when handling these articles, but we recommend the use of suitable gloves
to prevent irritation. We also 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.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
asbestos or asbestos related products.
Check that the appliance is clean and that soot or debris is not blocking the gaps
between the ceramic fuel effect pieces causing an imperfect flame.
Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.
Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the slots in the main burner.
After servicing, make sure that the ceramic fuel effect is replaced correctly as
described in this guide.
Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
