SAFETY
•
Soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyls etc.) are easily affected by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become
discoloured when close to a heating appliance. Please bear this is mind when having a heating appliance installed and
when redecorating.
•
As with any gas fire, this appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the latest edition of the
Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations and in accordance with the installation guide supplied with this appliance.
•
A shelf made of wood or other combustible material may be fitted above the fire provided that the following conditions
are satisfied:-
For a shelf not more than 150mm deep, there is at least 75mm clearance above the extreme top surface of the fire. For
a shelf of greater depth, there is an additional clearance of 12.5mm for each extra 25mm of added shelf depth.
Please bear this in mind if you alter the room.
•
A minimum clearance of 150mm must be allowed each side of the fire for ease of servicing and to give easy access to
the control. Please bear this in mind if you alter the room.
•
The space behind the case must not be filled in. Please bear this in mind if you alter the room.
•
The fire should not be used without the ceramic fuel effect pieces in their correct positions or with damaged pieces.
•
The fire must never be used without the glass window in position or with damaged glass. If the glass is damaged the
fire should be switched off and not used until the glass is replaced.
•
The glass panel acts as a fireguard conforming to BS 1945: 1971 and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard)
(Safety) Regulations 1991 but does not give full protection for young children, the elderly or the infirm. Extra security
can be provided by fitting a fireguard which complies with the requirements of BS 6539 (Fireguards for use with Solid
Fuel Appliances) 1984. Such a fireguard is also recommended for the protection of pet animals.
•
The glass window, and areas surround the firebox and hood opening become very hot when the fire is in use. Always
switch the fire off and allow to cool before handling.
•
No attempt should be made to clean the bright metal interior of the firebox with metal polish or other abrasives. After
a little use the interior of the firebox will colour. This is quite normal.
•
Never obstruct any of the openings of the fire casing by hanging clothing, towels etc. over them.
•
This appliance is fitted with a device which will automatically shut off the supply of gas to the fire if, for any reason, the
burner goes out or the flue is faulty. If this device does operate or if the fire is turned off accidentally or intentionally,
always wait three minutes before attempting to relight.
Please Note
When your fire is operated for the first time, some vapours may
be given off which might cause a slight odour and could possibly
set off any smoke alarms in the immediate vicinity. These
vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally
harmless and will disappear after a few hours use.
Glass Window
As with all windows, the glass may need to be cleaned both
outside and inside from time to time. The window and frame on
this appliance has, therefore been designed to be customer
removable allowing you to clean it without having to call in a
service engineer. Details of how to remove the window unit are
given further on in this booklet.
