1.

 

If a gap is visible between the inner sides of the front surround and the ceramic side

walls, gently slide the walls forward.

2.

 

Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.

3.

 

Advise the customer how to operate the appliance. Point out that lighting instruction

details are on the metal plate attached at the bottom of the appliance (Leave the plate
visible in front of the bottom front cover as a reminder).

4.

 

Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure & spillage monitoring

system. Point out the explanation of this system shown in the users instructions under
“Operating the fire”. Advise that if the fire goes out for any reason, wait at least three
minutes before relighting. Stress that if the monitoring system repeatedly shuts off the
fire, the appliance should be switched off and a specialist should be consulted.

5.

 

Advise the customer that they should read their Owner’s guide before operating the fire

and always follow the advice in the section headed “Cleaning”.

6.

 

Stress that no extra coals must be added over and above those supplied with the

appliance and that any replacements must only be the authorised spares. Warn that
ignoring this advice could cause incomplete clearance of the products of combustion
with consequent health hazards.

7.

 

Advise the customer that the appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the

flue is primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of use. To do this, simply slide the control
to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed
during previous use.
If using the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between settings. This
will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during use.

8.

 

Recommend that the appliance should be serviced by British Gas or Scottish Gas at

least annually.
If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out that
by law a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework which is situated in a
tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.

9.

 

Advise that the fire may give off a slight odour while new.  This is quite normal and it

will disappear after a short period of use.

10.

 

Hand the literature pack with this guide to the customer.
