MAINTENANCE
Battery replacement.
The igniter unit uses a 9V alkaline battery. It is important that a good quality alkaline
battery is used to replace it. The use of non-alkaline batteries will result in limited
battery life. To replace the battery remove the lower front cover section of the casting.
On Dream models, lift the firefront casting clear of the fire. On Petrus models, lift the
fire front casting up and forward to release the locating screw heads at the back of
the casting from the brackets in the fascia.
1. Remove and discard the battery from the ignition
block located below the burner tray at the left side.
Please remember to recycle batteries whenever
possible.
2. Fit the replacement alkaline battery to the ignition
block (See figure 7). The +ve and -ve terminal
positions are marked on the end of the battery
holder body and inside.
3. Replace the firefront casting /front cover casting.
Regular maintenance.
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept
clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall
and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper
clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue
and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least
every twelve months by a competent person (In the UK a GAS SAFE REGISTER
engineer, Outside of the UK a CORGI or GAS SAFE REGISTER engineer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are
checked annually.

When fitting replacement parts it is important that only approved parts are
used for maximum safety.
