HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE
This appliance uses fuel effect pieces manufactured from Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF). Care
must be taken to avoid excessive exposure to these materials as they may cause irritaon to the
eyes, skin, nose and throat. When Handling avoid inhaling and contact with skin and eyes. It is
recommended that disposable gloves are worn in addion to a facemask and eye protecon.

The fuel effect components supplied with this product are extremely fragile and must be
handled with great care. The ceramics in this appliance are not covered by the warranty due to
their fragility. This includes the RCF fibre boards in the fire box. These components will break or
chip if not handled with the greatest of care.
Cleaning of these components should only be undertaken once the appliance is switched off and
has been allowed to cool for a minimum period of one hour. The components should be lied
carefully piece by piece from the appliance and placed onto a dust sheet or similar. They can be
brushed gently with a so brush to remove any dust or deposits. If you intend to use a vacuum
cleaner then this should only be done once the loose deposits of soot etc have been removed.

moulding has broken away. If any component has broken then it should be replaced before using
the appliance. Only the correct replacement part as supplied by the manufacturer shall be used
in this appliance. Do not add any addional components to the fuel bed layout. It is important to
note that small hairline cracks will appear in the surface of the ceramics due to heat expansion
and contracon—this is perfectly normal.
