1.
As with any gas appliance, this fire must be
installed by a competent person in
accordance with the latest edition of the
gas safety (installation & use) regulations.
2.
If the fire is intended to be installed to a
chimney which 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 behind a
non-combustible hearth surface at least
880 mm wide and 300mm from front to
back. The hearth material must be at least
12.5mm thick. The top surface should be
50mm above floor level to discourage
placing carpets, rugs or other combustible
materials over it.
4.
The minimum clearance from the top
surface of the fire to the underside of any
shelf made from wood or other
combustible materials is as follows:-
•
For a shelf up to 150mm deep
Minimum height = 203mm
•
For a shelf deeper than 150mm
203mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm
depth over
150mm.
5.
It should be appreciated that although this
appliance conforms to all the applicable
standards, it is a heating appliance and
certain parts of its surface will become hot.
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.
6.
Always switch the fire off and allow to cool
before cleaning or carrying out any
maintenance.
7.
Never hang clothing, towels or any other
fabrics over the fire.
8.
This fire is fitted with a device which will
automatically shut off the supply of gas to
the fire if, for any reason, the pilot goes out.
If this device does operate or if the fire is
turned off accidentally or intentionally,
always wait three minutes before
attempting to relight.
9.
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 when having a heating appliance
installed and when redecorating.
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.
It is quite common for the radiants to take
on a brown tint after a period of use. This is
normal with all types of ceramic radiant and has
no adverse effect whatsoever on the performance
or safety of the appliance.
