11. SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT
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 containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials
may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is
important 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 ceramic fuel effect pieces 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 ceramic fuel effect pieces are replaced correctly
as described in the installation instructions.
!
Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
11.1 Checking the aeration setting of the burner.
1.
The aeration shutter is factory set for use with a ‘
pebble
’ ceramic fuel effect.
It is
important to ensure that the aeration setting is correct for the ceramic fuel effect
used. Check the aeration shutter setting even if fitting the ‘pebble’ fuel effect. (See
figure 18).
2.
To adjust the aeration setting, loosen the two aeration shutter screws, slide the
aeration shutter to the position shown in figure 50 and tighten the fixing screws.
