1.
As with any gas appliance, this fire must be
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.
2.
If the fire is intended to be installed to a chimney
that was previously used for solid fuel, please note
that the chimney must be swept prior to
installation.
3.
On no account must the fire stand on carpets or
other combustible materials. The fire must stand
on a non-combustible hearth surface.
4.
Clearances to combustible and non-combustible
surfaces must be at least those shown in figure 1.
Please bear this in mind if altering the room.
5.
Never put any paper or other material on the fire.
Never add any extra coals above the number stated
in these instructions. This could cause a safety
hazard.
6.
The cast iron top, front, rear and sides of this stove
are considered to be working surfaces and so will
become very hot when in use. Always take care
when using this appliance. A suitable guard which
complies with BS 6539 or 6778 should be used for
the protection of young children, the elderly and
the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for
the protection of pet animals.
7.
Always switch the stove off and allow to cool before
handling. Note that this appliance retains heat for
some time after it has been switched off.
8.
Never place clothing, towels or any other fabrics on
or over the fire
.
9.
This appliance is fitted with a device which will
automatically shut off the supply of gas to the fire
if, for any reason, the flames go out. If this device
does operate or if the fire is turned off accidentally
or intentionally, always wait three minutes before
attempting to relight. If the flue blockage safety
system has operated then it will not be possible to
relight the appliance until the system has cooled
sufficiently.
10.
This stove must never be used with the door open
or with the glass panel damaged or removed. If the
window is damaged or the door will not shut the
fire must be turned off and not used until the
window is changed or the door has been corrected
by a competent service engineer.
11.
If the house is left unoccupied for a long period we
recommend that the stove is turned fully off.
Please note
When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may
be given off which may 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.
This fire is supplied with ceramic “coals” to simulate a real coal
fire. After some use, the firebox walls and coals may change
colour. This is quite normal
