Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing (The appliance
inlet “T” connector incorporates an isolating valve).
It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected and the
fireplace opening checked and cleared of any debris.
This product uses fuel effect pieces and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic
Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to
these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it makes sense 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 fire before and after working on the fire. 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.
This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site
licensed for the disposal of industrial 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.
•
Check that the appliance is clean and that soot or debris is not blocking the gaps
between the coals causing an imperfect flame.
•
Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.
•
Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the slots in the main burner.
•
After servicing, make sure that the coals are replaced correctly as described in the
installation instructions.
•
Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.

To Replace Burner Plaques
•
Remove the five loose coals, front base coal, and rear base coal.
•
Remove the plaque clamping strips by detaching 6 screws.
•
Remove the plaques and the combination gasket between and under the plaques. If
necessary remove the gauze and the gasket beneath it.
•
If necessary fit a new gasket below the gauze. Clean and replace the gauze. Fit a new
combination gasket below the plaques. Push the gasket ends inwards to form a dividing
gasket between the plaques.
•
Place the new left hand plaque in position. The left side of the plaque must touch the
inside edge of the retaining flange at the left side of the burner well.
