12.1 Cleaning the window and fuel effect (without removing the fascia).
Important: Before commencing work read the safety notes at the start of
section 12.
1.
Unscrew and remove the two screws that
are under the fascia canopy (See figure 16).
2.
Pull the top of the window surround
forward (See figure 16).
3.
Lift the window surround up to clear the
slots in the fascia apron (See figure 16). Put
the surround in a safe place.
4.
Remove the window unit by removing the
screws each side of the window frame and
lift the window unit clear.
5.
After cleaning, replace and secure the
window unit using the two screws removed
previously. Replace the surround. Make sure
that the outside edges of the window
surround sides are inside the fascia.
Ceramic fuel effect.
•
Although light coatings of soot are usually
burnt off during normal use, the ceramic fuel
effect will benefit from an annual clean.
•
Should any soot accumulation become
excessive, the fuel effect piece should be
removed from the fire for cleaning. Cleaning should be
carried out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by
gently brushing with the pieces held away from your
face so that you avoid inhaling the dust.
•
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. We do not recommend the use of a
normal domestic vacuum cleaner which may blow dust
back into the air (See the notes at the start of section
12).
•
When replacing the ceramic fuel effect, make sure that
it rests on the ledges at the sides of the firebox and that
its back face is touching the horizontal rib at the back of
the firebox (See figure 17).
•
Replace the window and surround after cleaning.
