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. RCF waste is classed as a
stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to
accept such 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 17).
2.
To adjust the aeration setting, loosen
the two aeration shutter screws, slide the
aeration shutter to the position shown in
