SAFETY
Do
have the fire 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.
Do
have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.
Do
have the fire installed in accordance with the installer guide.
Do
provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protectio
n
of pet animals
. (
Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it
is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot).
Note: The glass panel supplied with the fire acts as a fireguard conforming to
BS1945:1971 and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety)
Regulations1991.
Do
wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out).
Do
get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected
by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do
allow a minimum clearance of 150mm from the top of the appliance fascia to the
underside of any shelf made from non-combustible materials. This clearance is
necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off for servicing. For a shelf made from wood
or other combustible materials the minimum clearance from the top of the appliance
fascia to the underside of the shelf is 150mm, for combustible shelves deeper than
150mm add 12.5mm to the clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf depth (See
figure 1). Please bear this in mind if ever you add a shelf.
