For Homeflame Petrus models -
• For a shelf up to 150mm deep : Minimum height = 750mm.
• For a shelf deeper than 150mm : 750mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm (See Figure 2).
Do always use a fireguard complying with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly or infirm.
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 flame goes 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 provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 3. Please bear this in mind
if ever you are altering the room.
Don’t hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Don’t put more ceramic fuel effect pieces on the fire than the number given in this
guide or use any ceramic fuel effect pieces other than those authorised for this fire.
This could cause incomplete combustion and subsequent safety hazard.
Don’t put paper or other materials onto your fire.
Don’t use the fire with damaged base ceramics.
Don’t place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the hearth.
Don’t attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to
cool completely.
