16. SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT
Always turn off the gas and allow the appliance to cool completely before
commencing any servicing (The inlet ‘T’ connector on this appliance
incorporates an isolating valve).
Always test for gas soundness after refitting the appliance.
This product uses a fuel effect, a burner compartment rear wall and gaskets
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to
eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when
handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a
minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA
filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the
fire before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a
heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed
as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill
licensed to accept such waste. Protective clothing is not required when
handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules
of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your
hands before eating or drinking.
