PART1: SAFETY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DO
•
Have the fire 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 and the IEE Wiring Regulations.
•
In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in
accordance with all national and local regulations in
force and the ETCI National Rules for Electrical
Installation.
•
Have the fire installed in accordance with the
installation instructions
•
Provide a minimum distance of 750mm from the top
surface of the hearth to any shelf made of wood or
other combustible material where the shelf is not
more than 150mm deep (This will give a clearance of
150mm above the top of the fire).
•
For a shelf deeper than 150mm, add 12.5mm to the
clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf depth
(see figure 1).
•
Make sure that any combustible wall finish or cladding
is removed from the area within the outer surround of
the fire.
• Make sure that the fire is on a non-combustible
hearth and that the hearth is at least the size shown in
figure 1.
•
Provide a suitable guard which complies with BS 6539
or 6778 for the protection of young children, the
elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also
recommended for the protection of pet animals.
(Although this fire conforms to all the applicable
standards, it is a heating appliance and certain parts of
its surface will become hot.)
• Switch the fire and fan off and allow to cool before
attempting to clean, service, etc. This appliance retains
heat for some time after it has been switched off
•
Wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the
fire is switched off or if the flames are extinguished for
any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device
which will automatically shut off the gas supply to the
fire if, for any reason, the flames go out or if the fan is
not working.)
•
Get advice about the suitability of any wall covering
near your fire. Soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed
vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern, are easily
affected by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or
become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering
redecorating.
•
Provide a minimum clearance of 178mm between the
outer surround sides and any corner wall or other
projection. Please bear this in mind if ever you are
considering altering the room.
•

enquiries you may have (Local call rates apply in the
United Kingdom).

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” which simulate
a real coal fire. The coals are designed for easy refitting if
removed and are totally safe to handle.
The burner in this appliance has been designed to give an
authentic coal fire flame effect. Due to the nature of this
kind of burner, there may be various “popping” and
flame noises not usually associated with more
conventional gas fires. As with a real coal fire, these noises
are perfectly normal and safe.
After some use, the coals and the ceramic rear wall may
change colour. This is quite normal and will not affect
the safety or performance of the fire.
At times of very windy weather or low voltage during
peak electricity demand, a slight click may be heard. This
is caused by the fan control switching between its boost
and normal speeds.
IMPORTANT :
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
