any smoke alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new

appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear after approximately twelve

hours use.

Inform the customer that the Serial number for the appliance is located on the

metal plate attached to the burner at the bottom of the appliance underneath

the burner module.

Servicing.

This product uses fuel effect pieces 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 stove before and after working on

the stove. 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. This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from

asbestos or asbestos related products.

Always turn off the gas supply and allow to cool completely before commencing any

servicing.

Check that the thermal switch is correctly located in the diverter box (See figure 4 

on page 10).

Check that the appliance is clean and that no matter is blocking the burner or pilot

which may cause imperfect flames or prevent a correct electrode spark.

After servicing, make sure that the ceramic fuel effect pieces are replaced 

correctly as described in the installer and owner guide supplied with the ceramic 

fuel effect. The ceramic fuel effect guide may have been placed inside or attached to

this guide.

Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
