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 installation instructions.
Do
provide a minimum clearance of 700mm from the base of the fireplace opening to
any shelf made of wood or other combustible material where the shelf is not more
than 150mm deep. For a shelf deeper than 150mm, add 12.5mm to the clearance for
every 25mm of additional shelf depth (See graph1).
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
